Four wheel driving in the Australian Outback
Forget the big cities and head to the harsh beauty of the Australian Outback to embark on a four wheel drive adventure tour. There are a number of different places in Australia to try this type of activity, especially in the Simpson Desert. Despite being mostly desert, the Outback still offers plenty to see including winding coastal roads and nature reserves and the thrill of being able to put the pedal fully to the metal and let of a little steam cannot be matched.

Trekking in Ecuador
Trekking through the rainforests of Ecuador is an exciting way to get a feel for the intense natural beauty and rich range of wildlife that can be found in this part of the world. Special trekking tours take visitors right into the heart of the rainforest and include the chance to sleep the night in a wooden hut or tent and kayak along the river.

Helicopter ride in Cambodia
The ancient temples of Angkor can be found just on the outskirts of the Cambodian city of Siem Reap and attract huge hordes of visitors each and every year. A great way to avoid the crowds and get a unique perspective of these temples is by taking a helicopter ride. This experience is both exciting and enchanting, especially as sunrise and sunset. Those who have a head for heights can also opt to take a hot air balloon ride over the temples, which allows them the chance to appreciate these magnificent structures at a more leisurely pace, while four wheel driving through the surrounding jungle is another unforgettable experience that is just waiting to be enjoyed.
