Adventure Sports You Must Try Once In A Lifetime

Skydiving

There are many ways to increase your adrenaline and dopamine levels. But nothing beats the thrill of adventure sports. The energy and strength you bring out to reach the top of a mountain or jump off a cliff have no match. Even you might get surprised by your capabilities. 

Most of us try to find a moment where we can feel more than alive. Adventure sports are one way to find that moment. Your blood pressure will spike, or your legs will go numb, but the rush of dopamine and adrenaline will make you feel awesome. Let’s see what adventure sports can make you feel like this. 

Zipline

Most of us are afraid of heights which is quite common. But it doesn’t mean you can’t go on adventures where you will face your fear. Adventures are meant to be scary; that’s what makes them more awesome. Perhaps you won’t go skydiving in your first attempt to face your fears, but zipline can be the right fit. 

A steel cable and pulley system help you move from point A to B. This system is set up in mountains or valleys where the rider can enjoy the beautiful scenery. So when you slide from one point to another, you will have the experience of a lifetime.   

Ensure you choose a place to enjoy this adventure activity with good reviews. Do your research and choose a place where this activity is done with proper safety gear.  

Bungee Jumping

Bungee jumping is a thrilling adventure sport. They say it takes a lot of guts to go bungee jumping. A bungee rope will be tied to your body, and that’s it. All you got to do is jump from the base. Indeed the professional will check out all safety gear, but there’s nothing you need to do. Perhaps a deep breath or many deep breaths. If you have the guts, then jump, or your guide at the jumping location can assist you with a push.

In many cases, people do ask for that little push, and that’s it. You are screaming and free-falling. Your entire body is filled with energy like never before. They say you might cry, but the tears coming from your eyes will also fly high in the sky. 

Parasailing

Parasailing is often confused with paragliding. Parasailing is an adventure water sport, and you can enjoy it near a beach. On the other hand, for paragliding, you have to go up in the mountains. 

In parasailing, a motorboat pulls a person attached to an open parachute. You glide in the air for about 6 to 10 minutes. But the whole trip lasted for more than an hour. It is quite an adventurous activity as you glide in the air looking down on the open sea. 

All adventure sports are risky, and that’s what makes them amazing. To ensure your safety choose a licensed professional to assist you with these adventures. Don’t go for cheap discounts and put yourself at unnecessary risk. 

Paragliding

Paragliding is one of the most daring adventure sports. As mentioned above, in parasailing, you are attached to a boat, but that’s not an option in paragliding. You got your parachute or kite, and that’s it. You are all on your own, and wind patterns will help you move left and right. 

Indeed if it is your first time, then you can’t just start paragliding on your own. A professional pilot can assist you and will fly the kite in the open sky. All you need to do is enjoy and feel mesmerized by beautiful sceneries.

Usually, the ride begins from the takeoff sites and ends at the landing site. The pilot will do all the navigation, and you don’t have to worry about anything. Ensure your pilot has appropriate gear and licenses in advance.   

SkyDiving

Perhaps after going bungee jumping, parasailing, and paragliding, you’re ready for skydiving. It doesn’t mean you can not go skydiving first and have to complete all these sports first. But it will set you in the right space if you are afraid of heights. By the time you will enjoy these sports, your heart will be screaming skydiving in the end. 

But skydiving is no joke. Jumping off a plane is hella scary. Even brave hearts have to think twice before jumping. As a rookie, you will be strapped to a professional skydiver. The pro skydiver will ensure your safety by pulling the parachute at the right time. It will ensure a soft landing, and also you can record your reaction. All you got to do is enjoy the free-fall and see the land coming closer every second. 

White Water Rafting

White water rafting is a fun way to make your next adventure more adventurous, as you can include your friends or family in this adventure sport. Just ensure they are not afraid of getting wet in cold water.

You and your team hop on a raft with paddles and ride the roaring white water of a river. Indeed some professionals will join you on this ride for your safety and guidance. To ensure your safety listen to expert instructions and double-check your safety gear. If you think your friends are a little clumsy, then check their gears too.

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of the most popular extreme adventure sports. You can go rock climbing any time of the year. What’s interesting is that you can go rock climbing indoors and outdoors. You climb natural rock formations like granite and limestone in outdoor rock climbing. On the contrary, in indoor rock climbing, you climb man-made structures. 

Indoor rock climbing is safer, and you can train with better gear. If you have a keen interest in outdoor rock climbing, then try indoors first. This way, you can prepare for outdoor adventures in a safe space. Once you learn the appropriate techniques of rock climbing, then pack your bags for outdoor adventure. 

Ensure you pack all rock climbing gear and bring a friend along. Rock climbing is risky, so it would be better if you didn’t do it alone.

End Note

These adventure sports will fit right on your bucket list. You can follow your own pattern of enjoying these sports. Take mandatory precautions and wear all safety gear before beginning your next adventure. Go rock climbing first and then go skydiving; it is all up to you. Ultimately, it’s all about enjoying and getting a thrill out of these sports.
