No matter what type of vacation you're looking for, whether you want to rent an oceanfront cottage in PEI and lie on the beach for two weeks or whether you want to bungee jump off a waterfall in Brazil, there's a tour operator out there who will cater to your interests. If your vacation interests run more towards exciting trips full of extreme sports, photo ops, and great stories to tell your friends, than an adventure tour is what you're looking for. You can learn more about them here.

The problem most people face when they want to have an adventure is that they're not qualified to plan an expedition to an extreme part of the world and would probably run into big trouble if they tried to organize anything bigger than a hockey tournament in Ontario. Unless you have years of out-tripping experience and certifications for kayaking, mountain climbing, and the like, it is highly inadvisable for you to plan your own trip. And it is never a good idea, regardless of your skill, to adventure alone.

Luckily for you, there are thousands of companies around the world that have qualified instructors ready to lead teams of novice adventurers on the trip of their lives. If the whole staff of your Toronto B & B wants to adventure together, great, but there's no need to round up your own travel partners. Companies will assemble their own teams of strangers to be lead as a group on the adventure so you'll never be alone and you'll get the opportunity to meet people who think like you do - that adventuring is fun.

So what type of adventure floats your boat? There are hundreds of different types of trips out there. Some popular excursions include canoe and kayak trips, white water rafting, mountain climbing, rock climbing, sailing, horseback riding, mountain biking, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, scuba diving, and even dog sledding. Some allow you to stay at hotels in Niagara Falls, Canada while you do day trips to adventure attractions while others require you to camp out for weeks far from civilization.

You must exercise more caution when choosing an adventure tour than when you are picking PEI luxury cottage rentals, because if you don't like your cottage you can always pack up and move, but if you don't like your tour you're stuck until the end. Book through a reputable travel agent and choose tour operators who have been around a long time, have an excellent safety record, and get good reviews on travel sites such as Trip Advisor. Whenever possible, meet or research your guides beforehand so you know whether you can trust them to look after you.
