It is after all, the perfect time of year to get outdoors and enjoy the endless sunshine that's in store for us. Enough of this staying at home stuff.
We've scoured the options and have assembled a line-up of activities that are guaranteed to make you squeal just a little bit when you first read about them. They are not what you'd call mainstream by any means, but whilst they may not be as commonly known, they are anything but dull. These experiences are insanely cool and should come with their own warning of possible addiction. Curious?
Bungee Jumping on a BMX
You read that right. This experience is one of the most insane on our list and already added to my own personal calendar. The BMX Extreme Combo Bungee Jump is a high-level, adrenalin-pumping experience, guaranteed to get you excited.
Climb up the world's only Bungee Tower with a BMX and ride straight off the roof. There are 16 different bungee options to choose from, all just as insanely cool as each other. Is there anything cooler than strapping a full harness onto your bike and then riding straight off a roof from 50m up?
Slump Some Glass
If you'd rather something a little less heart-thumping and a little more intriguing, how about trying your hand at some glass slumping. Dating back four thousand years, this timeless tradition will have you shaping and creating beautiful pieces of glass.
Glass Slumping for Beginners is the perfect way to discover this unusual practice, also known as glass fusing, perfect for creating beautiful and personalized jewellery. This really is a great way to revisit the past and discover a tradition lost in time.
Climb Inside a Huge Ball
Do you realize that zorbing used to be classed as an extreme sport in New Zealand before becoming a world-wide phenomenon? The thought of strapping yourself inside an 11-foot rubber ball and rolling down a hill is simply too appealing to pass up.
Globe Riding for Two is the perfect way to experience this thrilling adventure, perfect for those looking for something a little different. This safe, fun and exhilarating activity is one thrill ride you need to experience, if only for the insane dizziness that awaits you down the bottom. Will you handle it?
Fly Like a Bird
For something a little higher on the adrenalin scale, how about taking to the air with a hang-gliding adventure? Tandem hang gliding is just as exciting as it sounds, just you, your instructor and the hang glider. No noisy engines. Nothing to separate you from the ground except the glider itself.
Tandem Hang-Gliding Adventure is the ultimate way to get off the ground and remain as free as the birds flying around you. There are no walls to impede your view, no noise and above all, the freedom to fly wherever you choose. This has to be the best way to fly.
Drive like a Stunt Driver
If keeping your feet firmly on the ground is more to your liking, then how about a course on how to drive just like a real stunt person? If you always wanted to know how actors spin cars with insane manoeuvres that look too cool to be real, then get ready to find out exactly how it's done.
This Stunt Driving Experience is the ultimate way to learn 180s, 360s, donuts and jumps. Get some serious airtime as you discover the tricks movie makers use to perform eye-popping sequences. Think you can handle the course?
