Crocosaurus Cove, the real life Jurassic Park and home to the world’s largest reptile. If you’re a dare devil by nature then prepare yourself for the Cage of Death! With each dive, you’ll first be suspended above the prehistoric-like creatures, then lowered into the pen for the ultimate FaceTime with a 16 foot saltwater crocodile. A definite once-in-a-lifetime travel adventure!

Springtime is here which means the snow is clearing and the warm temperatures are here to stay, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up winter sports. Instead, swap your snowsuit for shorts and your snowboard for a sandboard, because this hot activity is a must-do in Peru.

Paraglide over the Blue Lagoon

If you read my Adventure Guide to Switzerland and/or saw my paragliding vlog on YouTube, then you know I absolutely fell in love with flying through the Swiss mountains. So, I 100% recommend you take the chance to experience the same over the gorgeous waters of Turkey’s Blue Lagoon.

Volcano Boarding

Location: León, Nicaragua

Okay thrill seekers, if you’re looking for something more exciting than sandboarding, let me explain the insanity of volcano boarding. Cerro Negro (Black Hill), is a 160+ year old active volcano in Nicaragua that takes a 45 minute hike to conquer. Once you’ve made it to the top, it’s time to slide or surf your way down at 30-60 mph speeds on a wooden board. Now that’s an unforgettable thrill.

Walk on a Plane

Location: Essex, England
