Trek up Kilimanjaro

Set at a height of almost 6,000 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest freestanding peak in the world. Rightly branded the “Roof of Africa”, this immense mountain attracts several adventure hunters from around the world to go on a trek to the top of Kilimanjaro.

If you fancy climbing it, there are lots of tour and charity packages online worth checking out.

Travelling through Indonesia

The Indonesian islands are inherently tranquil and peaceful – however, there’s plenty of room for adrenaline junkies to explore as adventure tours run throughout the islands. The western coast of Indonesia has a lot of stunning beaches and conserved coral reefs which make them ideal for diving. The island of Lombok in Indonesia is also home to thousands of sea turtles and if the visitors are lucky enough, they can see these age-old species give birth on the peaceful shores. The diverse Southeast Asian country of Indonesia is mostly celebrated for being hospice to the brilliant Komodo dragon, if you wish to see Komodo dragons up close then you can find them mainly in the Komodo National Park.

Snorkelling with Whales in the Dominican Republic

Come to the Dominican Republic where you can experience snorkelling with humpback whales. If this appeals to you, the best months to visit to see them are December and April as these grand creatures pass through the region.

Walk the Great Wall of China

Staring up to the 4,000-step mythical stairway, a lot of words are guaranteed to come to minds of the traveller – amazing being one. Walking the sky-high stairway is definitely an experience that should be on every traveller’s bucket list. A great way to complete the trek is through a charity challenge group, many of which can be found online!

Go scuba diving in Cuba

A scuba diving holiday in Cuba offers tourists the opportunity to experience some of the finest underwater treasures. Most of these coral reefs are protected by the local government. So thankfully with there being zero illegal fishing or hunting activities, the aquatic life of the island-nation has been given the chance to evolve into something simply astonishing.

Any scuba diving aficionado will be mindful of names like –Jardines de la Reina or the Bay of Pigs. These names prop up in every conversation about the best scuba diving spots around the world. What do they have in common? They can be found in the Caribbean paradise of Cuba. Home to innumerable outstanding diving sites, the Cuban coral reefs have been looked after really well. The Punta Frances, set laterally along Cuba’s fabled “pirate’s coast”, is another amazing scuba diving spot. Tourists are also likely to catch a sight of rare and endangered creatures such as the hawksbill sea turtle and manatees.
