Active Vacations

Active vacations are gaining the wide popularity all over the world nowadays, and that's quite natural, since almost anyone would love to feel like a great nature explorer and spend the unforgettable vacation somewhere in the scenic nook. The list of the adventures offered below does not claim to be exhaustive but the activities it features are likely to excite and provide really fascinating rest.

The Hoover Wilderness Area

California's High Sierra is a cogged landscape comprising lodgepole pines and red firs, U-shaped glacial valleys and arid deserts. It's a place of breathtaking spectacles and solitude. The Hoover Wilderness features over 42,800 acres of primitive country found in the east-central part of the state, bordering upon Yosemite National Park. The offered adventure features a five-day trek among the wormwood and thistle, the scarps and the snow fields of late summer, with the South American llamas carrying the cargo. Be ready to meet bobcats, mule deer, bear, coyote and maybe even some mountain lion. When seeking for the most natural rest you will definitely enjoy llama trekking.

Florida Gulf Coast

You are invited to sail aboard the comfortable 26-foot Commodores through the multiple small islands for about seven days and nights in flotillas featuring six boats at a time. The crafts can take on four adults, and experienced sailors are to captain their own craft during this mini voyage. You will have plenty of time for free sail and exploring of the fascinating tropical barrier islands that are inhabited only by pelicans, gulls and man-of-war birds. Just imagine the beautiful scenery of the untouched nature: dolphins lacing the bow, living shellfish coloring the limpid waters, red snappers snapping at the lines and Gulf breezes filling the foresails. Fort Myers is the starting point of the journey, located on the Florida Southwestern coast near Sanibel and Captiva Islands. It is the place from which the adventure sailing crafts depart year-round.
