Here are some of our best-loved adventure vacations.

If you get a thrill from being out in nature and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not participate in an Australian Walkabout? These have increased in popularity, especially since one of the main characters on the TV show Lost tried one out. The original thought for an Australian Walkabout was for you and your fellow adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback on a guided tour. You solely live off the land, when participating in a walkabout. You hunt for your own food, build your own shelter from what is available and take on any "elements" that might come your way (weather, animals, etc). It is similar to extreme camping and can give you a natural high. Dude Ranches can be great adventure travels for the whole family. In Nebraska, the Ponderosa Ranch is a labor-intensive and vacation ranch. You can be a guest in the ranch's cabins. During the day you become a real working ranch hand. Guests ride horses and help round up and drive the ranch's cattle from one pasture to another. At night there are campfire stories to be shared, some home cooking to be enjoyed and some excellent activities to participate in. During your free time you have tons of options, from hunting and fishing, or hiking to horseback riding. This can be a fantastic family vacation because they welcome people from every age group and skill level.

Are you a foodie? Do you drool when you learn about and taste cuisine from around the world? Why don't you try out a culinary tour?

Ireland, Spain and Greece also have fantastic "culinary tours."

This is an ideal vacation for any chef wanna-be or any food lover. "Adventure travels" can be defined in so many different ways.
