Extreme Sports in Amazing locations

Most extreme sports can be experienced locally in some capacity. Often man made or indoor locations offer thrill seekers the chance to try out new and exciting activities. However for those willing to travel, the experience can be enhanced to an unforgettable adventure. Here are just a few locations to consider visiting to satisfy thrill seekers.

Skydive Dubai

Skydive Dubai offers extreme sports enthusiasts to experience the thrill of skydiving in a completely unique location. Described as 'the world's premium skydive location' neighbouring the infamous Palm Jumeirah Island and the Dubai marina, divers can expect spectacular views of one of the world's wealthiest and most beautiful cities.

Whitewater Rafting - Lochsa River, Idaho USA

The Lochsa River (Pronounced Lock-Saw) in Idaho offers some of the most continuous, explosive and challenging whitewater in the world. The river is recommended for intermediate to experienced rafters who will also be treated to the supreme mountain scenery and wildlife.

Kawarau Bridge Bungee Jumping - New Zealand

This 43-metre drop may not be the highest available, the Kawarau Bridge is widely considered one of the first extreme bungee jump locations in the world. Over 650, 000 people have tackled the drop from the historic suspension bridge, with many dipping their heads in the turquoise waters which run underneath.

Ziplining - Simatai, China

While most ziplines do not offer stunning views of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Simatai zipline offers just that. To get to the starting point, revelers first have to hike up the Great Wall itself. After your climb (or chairlift ride), you can explore the Simatai section of the wall, with its 35 watch towers and architecture from the 6th century.

Downhill Mountain Biking - Death Road, Bolivia

It begins at 15,400 feet and for an estimated 300 people a year ends in the loss of their life, yet Bolivia's North Yungus Road - better known as 'The Death Road' - is among the nation's biggest attractions for thrill-seeking tourists. The ride takes in the stunning views among the rolling hills of the Amazon rainforest, but come with the somewhat distracting - and for some terrifying -sheer drop into the canopy as two rubber tyres separate the rider from a narrow single-lane road with very little in the way of railings
