Outdoor Adventure

Outdoor adventure consists of many activities, including boating, fishing, snorkeling, rock climbing and caving. Of course, some of these can also be done indoors. Outdoor adventures have some advantages over indoor adventure, as listed below:

Advantages of Outdoor Adventure:
•    Less people out in nature
•    More realistic – you are actually climbing up a cliff when rock climbing, and not a wall with bits of plastic on it.
•    Its natural – the fish and coral are in the wild and not in big aquariums
•    Sunlight and fresh air does the body wonders
•    Outdoor adventure is outside – your going completely against being a ‘couch potato’

Disadvantages of Outdoor Adventure
•    Often a longer distance to travel
•    Can be more expensive
•    Easier to get injured without proper preparation.
•    Usually set times for the Outdoor Adventure, whereas indoor adventure can go all day

I classify most theme parks as outdoor adventure, and there are some brilliant theme parks throughout the world, which are fun for the whole family. Sure, some of the rides might not be enjoyable if you don’t like the adrenalin, but there is always waterslides and other things to do. When doing an outdoor adventure, just do what you’re comfortable with. I have been to White Water World, Movie World, Dream World and Wet and Wild in Queensland, and I have to say it was a brilliant outdoor adventure. Sure, the cost to attend these can add up when you visit them, but each day was great fun. I love the adrenalin, and I think that the 120 meter big drop was the best ride out of all of the parks. In saying this, we had great fun going down the kids racing slides, and many of the other waterslides. Something to note is that even if a ride doesn’t look like a fun outdoor adventure it may be right up your alley. Each ride is a separate outdoor adventure, and you have the choice of doing the rides that you are comfortable with.

I have enjoyed climbing sports as a form of outdoor adventure, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you don’t like heights, this is not for you, but for those who do it’s a great adventure each day. I have also done various other adventure activities, such as snorkeling, Four Wheel Driving, Motorbike riding, Boating, BMX riding and downhill riding.  I prefer to spend time doing outdoor adventure activities, because there are less people, what you see is more enjoyable and the activity is usually more fun, but this is not always the case. Take the time to find an Outdoor adventure which you might enjoy, and try it out. Outdoor Adventures are just around the corner for each of us!
