Scuba Diving Off the Great Barrier Reef's Elliot Island
Scuba tank-laden people are astonished by the variety of sea life living in the vibrant coral canyons off Lady Elliot Island. It is rather fragile and is the southernmost in line of interconnected reefs that form Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Here you can go off the beach stretch and look into the three-foot-wide mouth of a huge blue-tipped clam or jockey for space with manta rays.
Traversing Between Trees on a Zip Line
Nowadays zip-line tours are very popular from outnumbered Costa Rica to Canada, as it is one of the hottest new adventure sport. During the traverse, zipping from one tree to another the adventurer reaches nearly 35 miles an hour. On a zip-line tour it is necessary to put a climbing safety-belt which is hooked to a steel cable on, so you can move from one tree to another with the help of pulleys. It is also possible to soar on the slopes of Haleakala volcano in Hawaii or on a mountainside in Whistler, B.C.
Floating Above the World in a Hot Air Balloon
Looking down from the passenger basket of a hot air balloon the adventurer can enjoy a bird's-eye of the scenery, the panorama of many resort towns, historic places, vineyards and many other places. You also can take part in the annual balloon festivals in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Snowmass, Colorado and many others.
Hiking Up a Fourteener in Colorado
There are 54 peaks in Colorado 4.3 km height above sea level. The nickname of these peaks is fourteeners. It is unnecessary to climb all of them, but hiking up one or two while driving the Scenic Byways can make a terrific vacation.
