When Was the Last Time You Had a Real Adventure?

If you’re someone who believes that you never stop learning and having fun then you’ll know why adventure holidays aren’t solely the preserve of the wide eyed student backpacker.

Life is for living and anyone who has been on an adventure holiday before will be the first in the queue when it comes to singing the praises of such an exciting and inspirational experience.

Below are just a few of the reasons why adventures and the over 50s go hand in hand and if you’ve got a yearning to see the world and have a great time in the process then jump on board.

Are you experienced?

Getting away from the mega hotels and coach-filled car parks, which are often the norm for over 50s holiday makers, ensures that you’ll be able to unearth the true culture and people of the country that you’re visiting. Once you’ve made the leap into more exciting territory then the opportunities for adventure are endless with everything from nomadic camps in Morocco to walking over the glaciers of Alaska.

The only way to travel

Although the nature of adventure travel dictates that heated seats and leather upholstery aren’t always available there’s no need to completely slum it and you may be surprised at just how comfortable a 4 wheel-drive vehicle can be when you’re whizzing across the Indian desert or heading towards an African safari lodge.

With adventure comes responsibility

As we all know, with every great experience comes an even greater level of responsibility and this is exactly why the over 50s traveller is so akin to having adventures. Respect for the environment, local people and cultural nuances is everything and when it comes to ensuring that a location is left in exactly the same way as it’s found you can guarantee that the older traveller is always leading the sustainable way forward.

Spice things up a bit

If you’re open to offers and willing to try anything once then it goes without saying that you’re definitely cut out for adventure travel and even if you’re not there’s always time to give something new a try so why not dive right in?

Wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, there’s an Explore adventure waiting just for you and if you’ve been told that you’re too old or you should be taking life a little easier at your age then why not stick two fingers up and start showing them what life’s really all about.
