This wilderness, newly introduced to tourism, promises a more realistic adventure than industrialized sports areas. Through the bicycle trails in the mountains you can interact with different cultures and life stories as you cross by villages on your way. Since this route features forests, which are hundreds of years old, hidden waterfalls and numerous mountain lakes, you can take a break often. The bicycle trail in the mountains of Bosnia-Herzegovina has two parts: First, you climb up steep slopes then cycle down via a dirt road. As the natural trail does not offer any security measures, keep in mind that you should travel with a GPS, guide and medical officer.Ningaloo ReefSnorkeling is a sport that is usually practiced in clean seas, and it is best experienced where the underwater life is liveliest. Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia is a region listed on UNESCO's World Heritage Site List. It is a region recently opened to tourism and is a well-protected site. The sea features sponge gardens, huge reef formations and the most crowded white whale population in the world. As the natural underwater formations are close to the surface and the water is clear as a glass, the sea of Ningaloo Reef is a unique and ultimate place to snorkel. On the other hand, Cape Range National Park offers other adventures away from the reefs. In the park, you can camp in luxurious tents or take trekking tours accompanied by kangaroos.The Pirin MountainsRila and Pirin Mountains, which are hidden treasures of the Balkans, have become popular adventure sites.

The mountains, which were listed on UNESCO's World Heritage Site List in 1983, used to be a national park. Although authorities allow tourists trek without guides, we recommend you grab a navigation device and a guide familiar with the region, as the mountains do not offer any security measures. Decorated with huge rocks and blue lakes under cliffs, the mountains feature a small ski resort that offers snow sports in winters and accommodation opportunities to tourists in summers. The most popular lake in the mountains is Popovo, as it features a small island in the middle. As you follow the main trail, you will first see Popovo then two other small lakes named Cique and Kremenski.

Sand boarding is easy to learn and very enjoyable. Similar to snowboarding, it takes place on sand dunes rather than snow-covered mountains. On the Atlantis Dunes, visitors are allowed to sand board for three hours, as the hot sun can be very dangerous. There are special points for renting equipment. In addition to sand boarding, Cape Town houses many other adventures like swimming with sharks in a cage or ocean fishing.Water skiing in Galapagos and trekking along AmazonThe Galapagos Islands in Ecuador are the next adventurous region and a hot point for water skiing. As the island's animals are not afraid of humans, you can play with a sea lion. Transportation is very limited to the islands, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is closed to international flights, so tourists access the islands by taking flights from Ecuador's capital, Quito, a very enjoyable trip.
