Three of the best extreme sports vacations
A magnet for adventure tourism, the extreme sports capital of the world has more than a million visitors descend here every year, to face near-death experiences. Commercial bungy jumping originated here. Not for the faint-hearted, the Nevis Highwire Bungy, suspended at 134m gives you 8.5 seconds of free fall over the rugged Nevis River. Skydiving is another option.
Else, you can go funyaking (a combination of jetboating and kayaking), hand gliding, jet boating or canyoning. In winter, skiing and snowboarding are must-dos.Going fishing might not sound adventurous, but when it's fishing for the world's deadliest fish, the piranha, keeping your fingers clean from their sharp, hungry mouths can be quite a task.
