Skydiving

For a high-flying idea that’s great for families with teens, look no further than skydiving. This can be a great opportunity to knock something off your bucket list without taking too much time away from the rest of your vacation. A typical altitude for skydiving might be around 13,000 feet, which gives the jumper about 60 seconds of free fall. This will leave plenty of time in your day for other fun with your family. However, if you’re traveling with younger kids, you might want to wait on this option. Younger kids won’t be able to safely participate in this thrill-seeking activity.

Historical Adventures

Not all adventurous vacations need to be strictly adrenaline-based all the time. Adventure can still be fun even if you’re just exploring a fascinating historical landmark. 78% of Millennials want to learn something new while traveling, so why not schedule time to check out the local historical areas? Visit Egypt and climb the Pyramids, or make a hike through the Amazon rain forest. There are plenty of unique destinations with fascinating landmarks you and your family can visit and learn from.

Scubadiving And Underwater Adventures

If you’re looking for a warm and sunny destination for you and your family, you don’t have to have a calm, boring vacation on the beach. For your tropical beach vacation this year, schedule time to swim with the whales, dolphins, or other native wildlife. Many tropical destinations will have a variety of underwater adventure options available for family members of all ages. This will give your family a great learning experience as well as a fun way to explore the local nature.

Head For The Hills

The mountains can be a great vacation destination, and not necessarily just during the summer. For a rush of adrenaline in the mountains during the summer, look for locations that offer zip-lining, hiking, nature adventures, and more. However, the fun doesn’t have to end with the warmer seasons; in cooler climates, the winter can offer many kinds of extreme sports. From snowboarding to skiing and more, mountains can be a great vacation option year-round, so check out what mountain destinations are near you. These can also be a great option for families looking for a less expensive option this summer.

Summer vacation can be a great opportunity for you and your family to try new things and experience all the adventure life has to offer. Being on vacation doesn’t have to mean being lazy. Already around 28.0% of Americans, or 80.2 million people, aged six and older are physically inactive. Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you need to be part of that number. When you’re booking your family vacation, keep these thrill-seeking options in mind for your summer vacation activities. You’ll be sure to have quite a story to tell when you finally get back home from vacation.
