Northern Hemisphere Adventures

A guide to adventure holidays in the northern hemisphere

Some people go on holiday to relax, getting away from all of those stresses and strains that everyday life throws at us, whilst others prefer to dispense with these pent up tensions by doing something a little more active. For those who want to experience some adventure from their easyJet holidays 2012 can be the year to put the action into their break, with a number of locations offering more than the traditional sun, sea and sand.
Holidays to Tenerife and the other Canary Islands are very popular with British holidaymakers, and the largest of the islands offers a heady mix of thrills and spills for all concerned. A holiday to Tenerife offers something to get the adrenaline pumping a little faster.
With its stunning volcanic landscapes and one of the biggest cave systems in the world, Tenerife is an island guaranteed to thrill you. If you fancy getting out to sea, why not jump aboard a catamaran for an unforgettable trip, where it is common for sea turtles and whales to be spotted? Remember to take your camera along so you can capture those life-affirming moments.
For those who like to be a little closer to the ocean, there are a number of water sports available on the island including windsurfing and scuba diving. For scuba diving with a difference, try out BOB diving. This involves putting a suit on with a bubble of air to protect you, and you will get to explore the deep with the help of an underwater scooter.
If you want to feel the wind blowing through your hair, then climb onto a jet bike, where you can experience the beauty of the island on a guided tour. Tenerife offers something for all ages when it comes to adventure, and with so much choice, you'll look forward to relaxing in the hotel come the evening.
One of the most fascinating holiday experiences around, a trip to Egypt is for those who like a touch of history with their adventure. Egypt holidays offer enriching opportunities to see the pyramids up close, explore historic temples or adventure along the wonderfully scenic Sinai Peninsula.
For those who don't want to stay on dry land - why not hop onto a felucca, a traditional wooden Egyptian sailing boat, and sail down the longest river in the world? If you fancy something a little more bold, you can also camp overnight in the White Desert, where the hustle and bustle of the city disappears. An experience that will stay with you forever. Fall asleep gazing up at the stars in the dark night sky, before waking up to a dazzling Egyptian sunrise.
For something more traditional and relaxing why not round the holiday off with a visit to the Luxor Temple or St Catherine's Monastery, two of the most popular attractions among visitors to Egypt?
People who want something out of the ordinary, or something more energetic, should certainly try out an adventure holiday; it will enhance the break and leave you wanting more.
