This is the definitive list of activities to do while traveling. Each of the below are inspiring activities which will leave you with a sense of achievement or general amazement. It may not be possible to find a route around the world which will allow you to try your hand at all 4 of the activities below, but you should be able to get an opportunity to do at least two on any serious backpacking trip. I managed to fit in three but ran out of funds for diving, and the mountain climb was snowed off in New Zealand.

Bungee Jumping

If your travels take you down under you are in the home of adrenaline sports. You will get plenty of opportunities to pluck up the courage and bottle out before you finally take the leap of faith. New Zealand has at least 6 bungee opportunities, many providing a decent location to give a spectacular video recording for your friends at home. The highest bungee in New Zealand is in Queenstown at 134 meters ranging to 42 meters in Taupo. It is one of the biggest thrills you can get as it is a total free fall from a height you can actually comprehend. The Bungee is located in Queenstown is the Bungee jump.

Mountain Biking

Appreciating nature through mountain biking can be a fantastic way to travel. You can chose to ride the flat trails along the coast or the dirt trails providing a bit of extra excitement in your holiday. New Zealand has a number of different mountain bike trails that range from 30 km along the track down to 25 km. The trails are suitable for the beginner to the extreme expert road biker.

Skateboarding

This activity is not for everyone as it could be dangerous for beginners, but if you are looking for a cool adrenaline rush then this could be just the right sport to try. You will need to be well trained and have excellent balance as a result a number of different wheels are used which control the trailer, and the camper is left to stand with no hope of moving forward. This is similar to a skateboard except that the ramp is not flat, and sticks out a bit.

crowbar and Vrack

The crows foot circuit and the Vrack are both suitable for this activity. They have different difficulties depending on location. I got this tip from a friend who does crane servicing near me and he said, “The crows foot circuit is fairly flat, and the Vrack has a difficult climb and a long descent. This activity is best suited for taller people and children as it can give a serious shock.”

Zip-line

mezzanine adventure zip-line at kiwi adventure parks. These parks are popular with both locals and overseas visitors and provide a safe place for thrill seekers. The 15-20 knot steady wind will provide a constant beam 270 degrees around the perimeter of the boat, 120 meters above the water. Guests can experience onwards movement along with visual amusement, finally, water skiing is a special attack of speed and silence. For kiwi adventure travel, this is a sure way of inspiring you to move beyond the fears of the wild.
