adventure activities
Exciting outdoor endeavors
Adventure activities are recreational pursuits involving physical exertion, risk, or challenging natural environments—rock climbing, whitewater rafting, skydiving, bungee jumping, and the like.
The term appears frequently in tourism marketing and liability waivers: The resort offers adventure activities for guests of all skill levels.
Also called adventure sports or extreme sports, though those terms emphasize competition more than recreation.
