Adventure Travel

Bill Yaconis asked:


When traveling to Jamaica, many tourists have one goal and one goal only. That goal is usually to have a good time. You may have other ideas. You may wish to enjoy the adventure of a lifetime. In that case, you are planning a themed vacation. Your trip theme is a Jamaica adventure vacation. So, how do you ensure you have the vacation of a lifetime?

Book your airline reservations carefully. If leaving from the Northern United States, a number of stops along the way are likely. These layovers should be minimized and as short as possible. Nothing ruins the mood of an adventure vacation than having to wait 5 hours in a hectic airport. To ensure the quickest flights and shortest layovers, not only book your reservations carefully, but do so in advance.

Choose your Jamaica resort wisely. On the island of Jamaica, you have many resorts to choose from. Examine all-inclusive or super-inclusive resorts. They simplify the process of planning a trip. One travel arrangement preplans and prepays for a good percentage of your trip, such as your room, food, drinks, tips, and onsite entertainment. Your goal is to have the adventure of a lifetime, not spend your entire trip wondering if you have enough money to make it through. That is just one of the many reasons why all-inclusive Jamaica resorts and travel packages come highly rated and recommended.

Another reason why it is important to choose your all-inclusive Jamaica resort wisely is for adventure purposes. All-inclusive resorts are designed so that you never have to leave. All that you could want and need are right onsite. These Jamaica resorts are home to fitness centers, swimming pools, spas, and multiple bars and restaurants. Other forms of entertainment vary depending on the resort in question. For example, a resort with an onsite golf course allows you to enjoy a fun and adventurous game of golf with the cost of green fees included in your stay.

When planning a Jamaica adventure vacation, you want to look for onsite activities that entice you. For starters, examine beachfront resorts. They have a number of adventurous activities onsite, including windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and waterskiing. Not only look for resorts where these activities are available, but where they are included in with the cost of your stay. Don’t forget land activities too, the Hedonism II and Starfish at Trelawny Beach each have onsite rock climbing walls.

Once you know what adventurous activities are available to you at your all-inclusive resort, start to fill in the blanks. You can do these by researching nearby activities and attractions. Start with Jamaica attractions. In Ocho Rios, you will find the Dolphin Cove. There a world of fun awaits you. You can swim with stingrays, dolphins, and sharks. You can also do glass bottom kayaking or drive your own mini-boat. No matter where you stay in Jamaica, there are always adventurous attractions nearby.

In keeping with attractions, look at others within a short distance. For example, say you want to visit the Dolphin Cove in Ocho Rios. This will not take all day, what could you do next? The facility is adjacent to the famous Dunns’s River Falls. Careful planning allows you to the get the most out of your trip. There will be an adventure every second of the day with careful planning.

As for adventurous activities, remember to check with your all-inclusive Jamaica resort first. There is no point paying for an activity that you can do for free onsite. With that said, there are benefits to taking Jamaica tours. You have a number of adventure tours to choose from. A few examples include horseback ride and swim tours, rafting and tubing tours, ATV tours, treetop canopy tours, and more. These tours can last as short as an hour or as long as all day.

In short, there are an unlimited number of ways for you to have the adventure of a lifetime in Jamaica. Choose the perfect all-inclusive resort, research Jamaica attractions and activities, and make good use of your time. By doing so, your trip will be one giant adventure.



Life of Adventure

Andy Adams asked:


It’s getting harder to go on holiday these days without feeling a little bit guilty.  This guilt is drummed into us when we read the news about how airlines are polluting the atmosphere, helping melt the ice caps.  Many of us may feel obliged to go on a camping holiday in the UK as opposed to getting our few weeks away in the Mediterranean sun. 

But going on holiday shouldn’t feel like this as chances are you’ll have worked hard all year to earn yourself the much deserved rest.  Of course you could just carry on regardless and take a plane to your usual destination but you may be in for a nasty shock as airline prices are gradually rising in response to environmentalists and the government urging passengers to use air travel less by increasing prices.

So what are the alternatives?  A wet weekend on a campsite? Well the alternatives include some interesting eco friendly holidays that can not only cut down your contribution to global warming but also contribute to reversing it!

One such destination for this kind of holiday is Sweden, sweden holidays comprise of many activities that fall under the category of ecotourism.  Activities such as Dog mushing are very popular especially since when you come to a stop there is a good chance you’ll have a perfect view of the Northern Lights; For those people who prefer less frozen climates there is still plenty to do such as many adventure holidays activities like horse trekking and hiking which is very popular in the High Coast region of Sweden which is now a world heritage site recognised by UNESCO.

There are many other ecotourism holidays where you can help by planting trees or donating some of your time to help with wildlife and biodiversity projects too.  It all depends on how much you’d want to do; after all it is a holiday! 

If you are interested in any of these activities there are plenty of projects going on worldwide as it is a global problem we face and so if you want to give a little back to the earth then look up these projects and see if you can fit a bit of time towards looking after nature in during your break.

Money For Traveling asked:


Ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job, tell your boss to shove it, pack up and start traveling the world?

All of us have had that desire at one point! The thing that stopped you was probably the same thing that stops most people: money.

“How will I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada, yada, yada,” you asked yourself.

Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, because there is an underground, growing group of travelers who are utilizing some simple but hidden techniques to make significant incomes while traveling.

Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and by landing travel jobs:

Underground Travel Income Method #1 – Traditional Travel Job - Hold a job that either a) pays for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most commonplace.

Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.

Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!



Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine. However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.



Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this! It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile. Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very healthy income for selling just a few objects.

Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!

Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!

Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay – The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an internet café and collect the money!

Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!

Benson asked:


I know everyone things they’re unique, but obviously, when all your friends are having umpteen kids, it makes you more comfortable doing the same, right? (If you really doubt this, travel and observe other cultures–we’re all conformists.)

So a Mom with lots of kids isn’t just adding more consumers to the earth, but also communicating an eco-destructive social norm to others, right?

I think I’m in trouble.

Ben Thompson asked:


If you worry about your carbon footprint, and are looking for an ecotourism resort in Jamaica, then check out Great Huts the top Bed and Breakfast resort in Port Antonio.

A Unique beachfront ecotourism resort is to be found in Port Antonio Jamaica and it is called Great Huts. In terms of ecotourism in Jamaica it has been rated the best on more than one occasion, and if you are the right kind of person this could be the perfect romantic beach getaway for this year on any year for that matter. The right kind of person probably being a nature lover, someone looking for a cheap romantic getaway, artists, and the kind of people who are independent travellers as opposed to package tour holidaymakers.

Great Huts is made up of African style huts and treehouses in a jungle type of environment, and is on the clifftop overlooking Boston Bay and the lovely Caribbean.

The unique accommodation is all handcrafted furniture, tribal art, West African textiles, and other exotic fabrics. The atmosphere it creates is quite different to any other resort on Jamaica and possibly the whole Caribbean. There is a warmth, an authenticity, and a sense of adventure that you just don’t get in less responsible resorts.

Although it can be described as a Bed and Breakfast place Great Huts is possibly more like a hostel in some respects in that there are 10 bedrooms but only 6 Bathrooms. This ecotourism resort is very aware of cost restraints on its guests so offer economical dwellings which are essentially African Tents beautifully furnished and designed but with shared bathrooms. In addition it offers 2 tree houses, which are spectacular to say the least and seven huts, each totally unique.

There are a number of points that you should be aware of before joining the adventurous and booking Great Huts.

You may prefer to have just a couple of nights to add to your experiences of ecotourism, as opposed to a week, that is assuming you live a 21st century normal sedentary and spoiled lifestyle, and are accustomed to not needing a torch at night to find your way back home, or always having to wear trainers because of sharp stones on the floor of your accommodation!!

None of the rooms have keys, which might worry you, as well as personal security issues.

The most popular houses are the Bamboo Tree House, and the Walnut Tree House which have breathtaking views, but the Bamboo Tree House whilst it does have walls is very much in the open, and to get to the bedroom you have to climb a ladder. The Almond Tree House is less exposed to the elements, because when it rains you can get wet and exposed.

You need to be adventurous to some extent, and not mind bugs, because the mosquito nets aren’t turned down at night, so if you forget to do it….!!!!

There is little doubt that Great Huts can leave you feeling a bit like Robinson Crusoe, and you may or may not love that.

The staff are lovely, the situation is wonderful, but Great Huts is an ecotourism resort, and as long as you understand all that means then you will be fine.

The food by the way is outstanding, and there are bars and cafes close by if you want a change. The beach accessed by a path down the hill is stunning, and the beach is kept groomed and clean as is the grounds of Great Huts.

If ecotourism resorts are your thing, you won’t get better than this beachfront getaway at Port Antonio in Jamaica.
