3. Heli-skiing in Switzerland

Whether you are a passionate ski-lover or simply wish to experience it with your sweetheart, then heli-skiing in the romantic Switzerland is just for you. The sheer excitement of being dropped at a snow-covered mountain by a helicopter is enough to get your adrenaline pumping.

Zermatt, in Switzerland, has one of the best heli-skiing operations in the world. After being lifted to the mountaintop by a helicopter, you ski downhill, following a rugged path. This is a high-risk activity, but equally enthralling nonetheless.

4. Shark Cage Diving at Cape Town

If you don’t mind going to any extent to quench your thirst for adventure and thrills, shark cage diving is a must-try for you. It is an opportunity to get up, close and personal with the world’s deadliest mammal- shark in Cape Town, South Africa. 

Here, you can get as close as possible with the scary sharks, with just a galvanized steel cage separating you.

5. Sand boarding in Dubai

The desert alternative of sea surfing and skateboarding is sand surfing or sand boarding, which is an exciting activity for any adventure lover. This is a fantastic way to experience the thrills of skateboarding a midst the unending golden sand dunes.

So, once you are done enjoying shopping and fine dining in Dubai, you can hop on a desert tour that involves sand boarding, which most hotels and resorts offer. Swooping down the shimmering sandy slopes, crisscrossing through the desert with your sweetheart will definitely make your honeymoon even more amazing. 

6. Ice Climbing at The Rockies

If the conventional rock climbing does nothing for you, then you must try the extreme ice climbing at The Rockies in Canada. Climbing frozen waterfalls and ice falls with your partner will be an ultimate experience for you, we are sure. 

Ice is much more fragile and risky than rocks, giving the climbers much more thrill and excitement than rock or mountain climbing.

7. Running with the Bulls in Pamplona

Alright, so we saved the most adventurous and terrifying (for many!) experience for the end. Remember the last scene from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? Yes, we are sure you get the idea. You can test your extreme fears by participating in the famous San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain, where you (literally) run for your life as a group of raging bulls chase you!

Just make sure to follow all instructions given by your guide before you jump in. Despite being a highly dangerous sport, it is loved by adventure seekers all over the globe!
