Vacation Experiences: Seeking Adventure

Adventurous minds and bodies want more to do on vacation than sightseeing. If that is you, explore something exotic, challenge your limits or just plain whip your self into an exhilarating frenzy.

See Wildlife Live a Wild Life

Whether your idea of adventure is going on a luxury safari, mountain climbing, or bungee jumping, our Dream Trip designers will make sure that you get your share of adventure.

Go on a Safari

Safaris are not just for gentlemen with jodhpurs and pith helmets. See wild animals on safari in Africa, explore the mysteries of the rainforest, or follow in Darwin's footsteps in the Galapagos.

Hug a Tree

Explore without beating a path. Many vacation spots are going green but you can take it a step further by focusing on eco-adventures that allow you to see the world with a light touch.

Climb a Mountain

Hike through alpine meadows pretending you are one of Von Trapps, scale the sheer face of a cliff or head to the back country of a national park. Or maybe you want to visit native cliff dwellings in the American west, or ascend the heights of Machu Picchu and see the ruins of ancient civilizations.

Jump Off a Cliff

If you really want to take the plunge, we can help you go cliff diving in Acupulco, bungee jumping in New Zealand or hang gliding in California.

Get Wet

Get soaked by the spray of a white water raft trip or put on a scuba tank and explore the world's most spectacular reefs.

Build a House

Have fun and help out at the same time. Combine your travel with charitable work around the world. Explore a new place and get to know the communities you are assisting. You might even leave the place better than you found it.

Life is too short to stand still. Traveling gives you the opportunity to indulge in all the things you love and discover new passions.

Go To Where the Action Is

Everyone's idea of fun is different. Our Dream Trip designers can help plug you into the right scene, no matter what it is.

Play Hard

Golf - Getting to know the back nine at your country club a little too well? Pack you clubs and find yourself something different. Maybe an island-hopping golf vacation in Hawaii or a few days at Pebble Beach after exploring the California coast. Or for a change of pace, head off to the fine courses in the British Isles with a stop at St. Andrews, Scotland where it all began.

Ski - Adrenaline junkies can get their fix in some of the most beautiful places in the world. The obvious (and the best) include the European Alps or the great Rocky Mountains of North America with Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, and Whistler as highlights. The less obvious include summer skiing in South America, Australia, New Zealand or even glacier skiing in Europe. And non-skiers will have plenty to occupy themselves with plenty of options for shopping, pampering at the spa, and sightseeing.

Surf - Instead of just surfing your favorite local spot, why not surf and explore the world at the same time? With opportunities to catch great waves around the world, it will take you a lifetime to say you have done them all. So, in addition to the occasional trip to California and to one of the spectacular surf breaks in Hawaii, check out Jeffreys Bay in South Africa, Biarritz in France, Bondi Beach in Australia, Tamarindo in Costa Rica or a hundred other great spots.

Get into the Hustle Bustle

If lively crowds and excitement are your thing, head to one of the great cities of the world. Living a day in the life of a bustling cities gives you the opportunity to engage all of your senses with new experiences. Taste and smell the offerings at a crepe stand in Paris or an exotic market in Marrakech. Revel in the sights and sounds of a busy corner in Tokyo, New York, or London or sit at an outdoor cafe and watch the crowds go by in Barcelona, Venice or Istanbul.

And if shopping is your version of cardio, your choices are endless. The famous (and sometimes infamous) flea markets and antique markets of Berlin, Moscow, London, Paris, or Rome. The luxe shops of Fifth Avenue, Saville Row, Rodeo Drive, Via Dei Condotti, Omotesando, or the Triangle d'Or. Or maybe you prefer the eclectic charm of neighborhood boutiques in Chestnut Street in San Francisco, Notting Hill Gate in London, Surry Hills in Sydney or the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon.

Enjoy the Nightlife

Sleep is for people who need to work the next day. For some, vacation and rest are two concepts that don't mix. Thankfully for them there is always a party going on somewhere.

Nightlife - For those looking to party, there is the spicy nightlife of South Beach, the seemingly infinite variety of night clubs in Madrid, the legendary London scene, edgy Berlin, and the island of Ibiza among others.

Jazz - Chicago, Paris, Montreal, Rio. No matter what your interest is there is a jazz city or festival perfect for you.

Casinos - The perfect first stop for anyone who wants to hit the gaming tables is Las Vegas. And with headline shows, every kind of shopping you can think of, nightclubs and lots of sunshine, the casinos aren't the only option in town. For those that want to experience something different Macau has broken out as the Vegas of Asia and Monte Carlo sets the standard for luxurious European gambling.
