Adventure Activities

Biking

Biking is broken down into three basic categories—mountain biking, road biking and downhill. Each provides its own challenge. Depending on your destination and previous experience we can help you find the right kind of ride for you.

Mountain biking refers to dirt and off-road riding and requires balance and endurance. Bikes are outfitted with knobby tires and an upright posture to make riding over rocks and down narrow trails easier.

Road biking is the fast and sleek way to travel on paved roads. For covering large distances, this is the way to go. These bikes are equipped with skinny tires that glide across the pavement, allowing you to cover up to 100 miles a day.

Downhill biking is the full adrenaline rush option for adventure travelers. These bikes are heavier and made with large suspension systems that allow you to ride a downhill trail faster without having to avoid smaller rocks and drops.

Climbing

Climbing is a great activity for families and groups because everyone can climb at their own level and personally challenge themselves. Depending on the destination, we offer a large selection of climbs for people of all ages and abilities. Whether you are climbing in Yosemite, Smith Rocks in the United States or scaling a limestone wall in Thailand, you choose your level of difficulty. We make sure your guides are expertly trained and provide you with a safe day of learning and excitement.

Diving

Diving is a way to escape the dry world and to enter a place with new creatures, colors and textures. Scuba diving allows you to experience the wonders of the deep, to explore historic wrecks and the magic of underwater reefs. For those new to the sport we offer single-day dive courses, as well as multi-day dive certification courses. Many amazing locations are available and we tailor a dive schedule just for you. Whether you are diving in Thailand, exploring the reefs off of Nicaragua or gliding through the Great Barrier Reef, Adventures Around the World designs safe and exciting experiences to fit your needs.

Horseback Riding

For thousands of years horses have helped travelers cover large distances. On many of our adventures horses provide transportation between destinations or just an unforgettable way to tour a beautiful trail. A scenic trail ride can transport you to the shoulder of an active volcano in Costa Rica or to the top of a breathtaking pass in Nepal. We make sure that all of your horses are well-fed and treated kindly so that you can enjoy your experience to the fullest.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is a great way to experience the beauty of the underwater world without having to take a course or learn any special skills. Armed with just a mask and snorkel, you can float for hours watching the sea life teem around you on reefs and shoals. Accessed by boat or just a short swim away from the beach, almost any coastal area will provide great underwater wildlife to view. Adventures Around the World provides great opportunities for snorkeling day excursions.
