Top 5 Things to Do on Mixed Activity Holidays
Canyoning in the Turkish Mountains: Nestled within the mountains that soar behind the Turkish town of Kas, deep canyons provide a wonderful outdoor playground for canyoning. Led by an experienced guide, you’ll abseil, climb, swim and leap into turquoise pools. Kibris Canyon is one of the most stunning gorges with waterfalls and cool springs that flow into the river below. Prior to your canyoning adventure, you’re given full safety instructions and provided with the necessary equipment such as a helmet, wetsuit and harness. As well as being able to swim, all you’ll need is a great sense of adventure to enjoy this high-adrenaline experience.
Canoeing on the Dordogne: Flowing through some of the most beautiful scenery in southwest France, the Dordogne River takes you on a thrilling journey through the Perigord Noir. This picturesque region is famous for its ancient oak and chestnut forests which fringe the magnificent waterways. As you canoe along the river, historic chateaux loom above on steep cliffs and medieval villages invite you to explore their pretty streets and ancient sites. Canoeing is a relaxing way to discover the Dordogne and gives you a unique perspective on the landscape, visiting places like Meyronne, Souillac and Beynac along the way.
Ziplining Through the Cloud Forests of Costa Rica: Most famous for its colourful, endemic wildlife, Costa Rica is the perfect destination for an activity holiday. A ziplining adventure through the cloud forests takes you soaring through the treetops where you’ll be in the company of tropical birds, butterflies and howler monkeys. Before you whizz through the forest, you’ll be briefed by an expert on how to assume the correct position and how to grip the cable. As you fly through the trees, immerse yourself in the enchanting sights and sounds of the Costa Rican forest.
Canoeing Down the Amazon River: Stretching for approximately 4,000 miles, the Amazon River is the second longest in the world and is a natural paradise for wildlife lovers. Dug out canoes have long been a preferred mode of transport for navigating the wildlife-rich waters and take you on an unforgettable journey among diverse habitats. As you glide along the water the only sounds you’ll hear are bird calls, monkeys and other species of wildlife. Explore extraordinary ecosystems that play host to the highest concentration of flora and fauna in the world and look out for river otters, macaws and flying parrots.
Trekking in Banff National Park: Dating to 1885, Banff National Park is the oldest in Canada and lies at the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The diverse terrain comprises pine forests, glaciers, ice fields and alpine meadows which lends itself to walking tours. As you explore the vast landscapes on foot, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the country’s greatest wildlife, from grizzly bears and moose to deer and wolves. While there are many walking trails to choose from, two of the most spectacular treks in the National Park are Sulphur Mountain and Lake Louise. The latter is wrapped inside snowy peaks and scented pine forests which reflect on its emerald waters, creating an unbelievably beautiful setting.
