Snorkeling in Perhentian Island.
I stopped at 5 different spots. We stopped at Shark point, Tuftle Beach, Coral Garden, Fish Garden, Telugu Kk. It was an  precious experience for me. This was my first time snorkeling. When I stopped at Shark point, I was so scared because there were so many sharks in the water but I tried to jump in the water to see sharks them close. And actually, they didn’t do anything to humans and they were so quiet.
Also, I could see a lot of different fishes since water was so clear.

I experienced skiing on school trip when I was 14 years old. That is the first time to try skiing. I usually avoid adventure tourism because I don't like risk, but I went to ski resort with my class mates and I did it as a group. First, teacher said you just need to try! If you feel scary, you can stop if you make the  "八" by skis. And I started ski with only this knowledge. Actually, that is the first time, so I didn't know how to ski slowly and it was faster more and more. I felt scary so I tried to stop but I couldn't stop if I made "八". So I always fell on my backside. I felt they are cool who can ski beautifully and I wanted to be like that, so I practiced again and again by using whole day. Finally, I could ski without fear and I could enjoy, but I thought I didn't want to do anymore and I think I don't want to do even now. It is hard to find a tip for skiing if I practice regularly and it is little dangerous for the people who haven't tried it like crash accident and hypothermia. I think skiing is easiest adventure tourism in Japan, but people need some knowledge to do it. Then, they can enjoy this activity.

This is my first time experience. I went to Redang island with my friend and we were really having fun with that. Snorkeling spot is quite far away so we boarded a ship to spot. When we reached a defined point, there were sea turtles and they came together around the boat. At first, we fed them to see closer then we jumped into the sea and swim with them. Sea turtles are quire big than I expected and I felt amazing to see beautiful one with clear water there. When I dived into the sea, colorful fishes are also there. It was good experience and I really enjoyed. I can highly recommend this adventure in Malaysia.

I went to flores, Indonesia with my coursemate in the end of 2019 for the module of Tour Packaging in my diploma programme. It was a very amazing experience that we get the opportunity to visit the komodo island. Komodo island is home to more than 5,000 komodo dragons which wild living and moving around the island without cage. On that day itself, we went to diving, explore the beach and the last stop was Komodo Island. We were very excited and nervous to explore the island and see the world's largest lizards. When we arrived, we get to hike up and explore how the komodo dragon lives. The tour guide asked us to stay some distance away from the komodo dragons becuase they are sensitive and may attack us. Although there are quite many guides ensuring the safety of us, but we still get nervous. It was a very great experience to explore the island. The island was announced closing for visitors after a month that we have visited. We felt lucky and grateful that we have visited such an amazing place in the world.

Going for sand dune bashing was a part of our desert safari whilst at Dubai, the SUV came to pick us up at the hotel, drove us to the desert and eventually drove all around (and over)the desert and the sand dunes. It felt like the best rollercoaster ride I went on except with more comfortable seats and music!

We lived near to the Rauhaniemi Lake in Tampere, Finland during our exchange. Swimming in icy lake is a traditional Finnish culture. After their Finnish sauna, they will jump into the icy lake. Before I went there, I totally think that is impossible because since the weather temperature is very low, why would people want to swim in the lake that is extremely cold. After convincing by my local friends by saying the benefits and feelings. I decided to try, therefore, we went to the Rauhaniemi Lake which is famous for its public sauna and cold swimming. That day was a rainy day, but it did not stop the locals to be there. I was freezing when I jumped into the lake, I wasn't able to move my body. After few minutes, I felt my body has accepted the temperature, it was special to me because I did not feel the cool from both of  the lake and the weather anymore. When I got out from the lake, immediately I feel my body turn warm. I experienced the mistery feelings that what my friends said. It was so special to me. I am glad that I try that.

Banana boat in Penang Island - Miyu (0339995)

I tried banana boat with my friend in Penang last year. Although the boat had 4 or 5 seats, we were the only two of us when we tried the activity. It was needed to wear life jacket. The water bike pulled our boat, and the activity was started. The speed was faster than I expected enough to talk with my friends. So, I grabbed the handle in front of my seat while I riding the boat. It might be a risk if we fall down to the ocean, but we can ask to the driver to control the speed. Therefore, I think it is not so dangerous and we can try adventure activity easily. This is wonderful experience for me.

I had never been white water rafting before. We had to hike for about 45 minutes to get to the river. Before that the tour guides made sure we had our helmet, life jacket and peddles ready go. Once we got down to the river, we got on the raft to practiced how to paddle and memorize the safety measures. It was an amazing experience and the instructors were very nice and helpful. We stopped halfway near a waterfall to take pictures and swim around. Since all of my friends couldn’t make it on the same raft we all competed to see who could complete the journey first. The hike up was about 30 minutes and it wasn’t as hard as the climb down. All in all, I would go white water rafting again specially because of the adrenaline rush.

Island Hopping via Jetski Tour in Phuket - Raimie Kadri (0331210)

A year ago, when I was in Phuket, Thailand, my friends and I wanted to try out Jetskiing, so we went around the town to look if there's any. It was my first time and we all end up going on a 4 hours package of island hopping via jetski instead of boat.

We went to Koh Pae, Koh Sob located in the middle of the sea with 2 islands, Koh Yao, Koh Nok and Koh Naka Yai. During each visitations we were able to experience seeing nature habitat such as mangroves, monkeys and more.

It was nerve wrecking and lots of things goes through my mind when we were on it. One of it was what if we're out of gas, what do we do? I was so close to back out but was forced by my friends and i'm glad I listened to them because if I didn't, i'd be missing out!

On May 2019, i went hiking at BMC Blue Lake in Kajang area with my sister and 2 of our close friends. This is my first time experiencing hiking and I did not plan to do this activity at all because i do not like hiking. It is scary and risky for me. The place did not have proper trails for people to hike up. It is steep and muddy as expected. The place was quite popular at that time because some people just found out that place that has beautiful blue lake. At first i was not interested in it until my friends forced me to try something new in my life. When hiking up, it was as scary and dangerous as expected. We hike up and trying to help each other by grabbing their hands to pull them up. There were no rope or grill for us to hold on to while hiking up, which was really risky because we could fall down to who knows how far are we falling downwards. After an hour of hiking, we finally reached to the blue lake and it was worth the hike afterwards. We took some pictures together as well as admiring the blue lake. We then hike back down slowly and carefully.

After the next day, we saw a post on social media stated that the BMC Blue Lake has been closed to public due to the steepness and dangerous place. They said that there were a few people had died while hiking. We then knew how dangerous it was. Luckily we went and came back safely without any injuries. I could say that i had a good experience there. I would definitely hike again someday at another place.

Last year around March me and my entire class went on a massive excursion to Bali. In the hopes of having fun and enjoying ourselves through the means of an action packed itinerary. One of the activities we did in particular was the white water rafting we did. It was so exhilarating and exciting as it was my first time doing this particular activity and half the time I was quite afraid that the little boat might even perhaps capsize but fortune was on my side as we didn’t capsize and we actually had quite a lot of fun. The waters at the time were quite frigid as well so that was another worry we had. All the more reason not to capsize half way through the trail.  Normally there’s no way I’d participate in an activity like this as it’s not in my nature to do so but as everyone else was doing it, I thought why not. It was a once in a life time experience.

Maldives has certain area's where whale sharks frequent and feed. Was on a FAM trip for work near baa atol when we took a trip on a diving ferry to the biosphere researve. There were many launches boats riding around the area because its a known spot for the whales. But all the commotion usually sends the whales back down quickly. The scuba equipment also makes bubbles further disrupting the whales. so we decided to try and free dive. Free diving isndiving without the help of a breathing apparatus. You take deep breathes and go down for a minute or so depending on how long you can hold it.

The captain was boating around everyone was looking when a shout went up, someone had spotted it. We quickly went over and jumped straight in.
I acclimated my breath, and dived in, i saw the signature spots rising out of the deep. It was exhilarating, way better than i thought itd be to finally see it in the natural environment and not on tv. Since childhood I'd been glued to the nat geo channel, this was the culmination of several childhood goals.

It came up straight beside our boat with its mouth wide open gliding along and feeding. It was huge. When it started to go back down we went up for a breathe. Went back down to follow, at a distance cause you arent allowed to get close enough to touch. By then other boats had arrived. And they were putting on their gear, some were jumping in with scuba masks.
It was incredibly freeing to leave them all behind and follow the whale into the depths for quite a bit. Gliding along without the limitations of the heavy equipment or masks. Totally quiet without the sound of rebreathers. Free.
It was fullfilling, running out of breath i went back up content, the gentle whale trailing into the depths behind me.

On 2017 I went to mount merapi & ketep pass with my classmates. My school did the overlands to exploring the nature. I did a camp things and i’d experience a beauty of nature.

In Mount Merapi, i felt cold when i arrived at the mountain but i felt alright because we had fun together. One thing that is for me is challenging is i tried Flying fox it was scary and thriling. However, i felt happy that i can do this activity.

The next route we went to Ketep Pass. It’s a bunker near Mt. Merapi.  It’s really challenging for hiking. Also, i had experienced for riding jeep around the mountain with my fellow classmates. It was really fun and adventurous. When i went home, i’m so grateful that i can experienced a beautiful nature in my hometown

Hanifaru Bay in Baa atoll, Maldives is always known as a manta feeding hotspot. I’ve always wanted to go there and snorkel with these majestic creatures in the sea. I was a little bit nervous at first but as soon as I got off the boat, I was completely mesmerized by these creatures surrounding me and swimming in circles. I spent about 2 hours or so snorkeling with them and even refused to get back on the boat because I didn’t want to leave.

In March 2019, i went on a class trip to Bali. We had many activities planned out in our itinerary. One of the activities that highlighted the trip for me was the ATV ride. So for this task we had to ride through 03 different environments. The first one was through a little like we were going into a forest. With a lot of trees and bumpy tracks. After completing this, we moved to the next area which was the muddy trail. It was quite difficult to drive in the mud, it felt like you were going to get stuck and had to really put in a lot of effort to drive and it felt like you'd slide off. The third trail was a the hardest as there were some slopes. By the second trail i had thought that i was comfortable and good in driving. So i had let loose a bit and on the third trail when i was coming down a slope i lost my control a bit and i felt the ATV going sideways. When i realised i was falling to avoid getting under it, i jumped the other way. I had quite a few bruises on my legs and hands. I had to take a break for a bit but i continued on the third trail and finished the whole thing. So the ATV ride was very memorable and fun despite the injuries i got.

I went whitewater rafting with my family.

My brother and I love rafting so we used to go there a lot when we were little.The teacher teaches us how to row, and it's really fun to row hard while shouting with all members.Sometimes we get off the boat and swim in the river.It's really scary where the river flows fast, but it's thrilling and fun.I haven't been there lately, so I want to go there after a long time.

This picture was taken by our tour guide back in Bali on 12th March 2019. This was our first holiday time together where all of us could make it. If I’m not mistaken , this was on our 3rd or 4th day at Bali. As we wanted something adventurous during our stay, we decided to try the water wrafting. As this was my first time , I was beyond excited than word could described. Due to the boat could carry up to 5-6 pax all at once we had to split in two boats which means two teams.
Each one of us  were rowing very fast just to lead one another. At the early stage, I struggled a bit as I was new to this but time goes by I learned and managed to coordinate well with my mates.  In between of it we got to rest nearby a waterfall before we continue back. Totally it took up to an hour to complete from the final stage to the last one. As a summary this was one of the most adventurous time I got with my friends.

This is my first time going to mangrove tour with my friends in September 2019.
I went to mangrove swamp, crocodile cave, bat cave, eagle feeding, fish farm, andaman sea and beach.
At this mangrove tour, the coolest thing is the ride in the rocks and trees.
Bat cave had many bats, all the caves of animals are rocks which resemble given animal only. Monkeys are around, so watch your belongings. Eagles are very nice and wonderful.
I was very excited to feeding fishes because I haven’t feeding some fishes before and  first time to go to fish farm. Also, this fish farm has big sharks and rays.
At the end time, it was raining suddenly when we were riding boat.  Our clothes were very wetting so, it was cold. But, it was great experience for me.

Although it is not that adventurous but it is a new try for someone that do not know how to swim and scare of water. I am not a very adventurous type of people so most of my trip are more to cultural and gastronomy. This is my high school trip to Langkawi. We visit different island and we get to do fishing and cook the fish we caught.  We spend the whole afternoon on the boat and we caught a few fish for lunch. Because we are young we are not allow to do jet skiing.

White Water Rafting - Bali
My classmates and I went to Bali in March last year and while we were there, we had many different adventures.  I personally enjoyed white water rafting alot. It was a unique experience for me and we all had a lot of fun.  It was really beautiful and the water was really cold. It took us approximately 1 hour to reach the end point. I was extremely tired after climbing up to the vehicle stop.  Apart from the little hike we had to do, i loved the entire thing and am looking forward to go again!  :)

My first adventure experience was occurred in 2018, which made me feel very excited. I went to Sahara desert to surfing  with SUV. For me,  I cannot suffer from some activities that are extremely  thrilling so that this experience has already considered as adventure tourism.

From the very beginning,  I felt a little frightened because I would go to the desert which possibly lose directions. However, the tour guide told me that we only go to particular areas and it is very secure. Then we  went to the desert and totally explore 2 destinations.

The first destination is driving the car in the bumpy surface with SUV.  When you are driving,  you will felt an awareness of  kicking up dust wherever you go. And because of sandy land which is very soft, we can drive the car extremely quickly and it' s still  very safe. It gives me very different feelings which are different from my daily life.

The second destination in Sahara desert is visiting some children and women who are selling scrarf. Actually if this activity happened in our daily life, it is not considered as adventure tourism. However, we have to go to their deep in the desert. So the routine itself is very risky. During the experience, we can see the beautiful scenery with amazing feelings.

We went on a cruise where they would bring us to different parts of Halong Bay, one day they brought us to a pier where they allow tourists to go Kayaking to a cave that will lead to a beautiful area in the middle of the rock formation. I decided to go kayaking to the place but unfortunately I did not brought my phone with my as it can get really wet. As I arrive there, I really wish I brought my phone with me as it the place was really beautiful, the cold weather at that time makes as if I am in Europe and not in South East Asia. The experience is thrilling and yet at the same time calming, I would most definitely doing it again.

This activity was super random! I and my friends were having lunch, but suddenly we wanted to go to night snowboarding and we set out to Daemyungresort, which is the most famous ski resort in Korea. We arrived there at around 9:40 and borrow snowboarding equipment. Because the night snowboarding started at 11pm, we had a lots of supper to weather the cold  until 11pm. Finally 11pm, the gate was opened and my friend took me to highest level. Actually I'm not good at  snowboarding, I'm slower  than  turtle. Anyway I came down safe with thousands of falling. After several times,I got a cramp in my legs, because that was my first exercise in 2019.

I went to Cebu island with my family in January 2019. We went to one beach and then, did Sea-walker. Sea-walker is where you can "dive" in the sea wearing a helmet with air supplied. That helmet was really heavy and cannot cover my whole body, so I was afraid to go down to deep sea. However, it was more beautiful in the sea than i expected. When I walked around in the sea taking fish bait, lots of fish came to me, so that made me happy, but also a little bit creepy because of too much fish.

This is my very first experience with Snorkeling. Last June 2019, I went to Krabi with my family. At there, they sold so many tour packages with water activities as their selling point. My mom and I were very interested with the Snorkeling activity that they offered, because neither of us ever done it. After we purchased the tour package, we went to the Island near Krabi.

At first, the boat that brought us stopped in the middle of the sea. Next, the tour guide distributed a snorkel, a mask, and a pair of diving fins. My mom, me and my sister were very nervous because it was our first time experiencing Snorkeling. My mom went to the water first with my sister, and lastly, me. When I entered, the water felt so cold.

After we swam for awhile, we decided to went under the water. I was very fascinated as the water was really clear, to the point that I could saw so many fishes. I took some of the pictures and videos so that I could save them as memories.

After Snorkeling for 45 minutes, the tour guide asked us to went up to the boat. I felt so ashamed as the time was not enough for me. But after all, the experience was really great. My first Snorkeling experience was not disappointing at all.

Before reached to the resort, we had to buy or rent the jacket and pants for skiing. Unfortunately, we didn’t have It and my mom decided to buy it rather than rent it  because she thought that we will use it again in the future. Finally we reached to the resort in the afternoon and then we checked in. My brother and I directly changed our clothes into the ski clothes. We went to the ski area and rented the ski equipment. After that, we hired a guide to teach us how to do ski. It was so hard and we fell a lot but we kept trying and trying. I sweated a lot even though it was winter. Finally we decided to skiing in the higher point. I was so scared and felt embarrassed if I fell in the middle. I gathered my courage and it turned out bad. I fell and i felt very embarrassed because there was so many people there. I was pretty lucky because I was fine and didn’t injured my self. It was wonderful and challenging in the same time. I was very happy and also scared but I think I had a great time. I think I will do skiing again but I want to try in another country.

Mountain climbing - Angel/0337336

When I was 16, I had the opportunity to climb Mt. Ijen with my friends, and the 2nd time was with my dad. The Ijen volcano complex is a group of composite volcanoes located on the border between Banyuwangi Regency and Bondowoso Regency of East Java, Indonesia. It is inside a larger caldera Ijen, which is about 20 kilometres wide. The Gunung Merapi stratovolcano is the highest point of that complex.

The mountain is famous for its electric-blue flame of Ijen. The phenomenon has occurred for a long time, but beforehand there was no midnight hiking. A two-hour hike is required to reach the rim of the crater, followed by a 45-minute hike down to the bank of the crater. The blue fire is ignited sulfuric gas, which emerges from cracks at temperatures up to 600 °C (1,112 °F).

The feeling of reaching the summit was satisfying, the hike itself was quite challenging with the high incline and all, but the terrain is well managed, the only thing i did not enjoy was the smell of sulfur that wafted through the air. I had to take mini breaks every 20-30 minutes since anything that has to do with physical activities is not my forte.

Along the hike you can see locals who hikes up day and night to acquire the sulfur and sell it for a very low price, you can also use a “taxi” which is basically locals there who pushes up tourist with a cart, those one who does not have the physical means to climb up the mountain, the workers charges US$50 for both ways, which is a pretty modest price considering the labor.

But all in all, it was very liberating and fun.

kayaking is one of the adventure tourism activity I did in Vietnam. I took part in this activity mostly 2 years ago. This was a family holiday .
The activity gave  a wonderful experience to me . Rowing alone with a Stranger and observing the clear sky and trail of mountains around.The Kayak had only places for 2 person to sit . I was with a French lady who  was fond of this type of activities and told me about the nature around.

The water was so clear and cold when touched with bare hand . Generally we are used to sitting on a boat and drives by a person along with other plenty tourist .
But this time it was different . We were on our own ,  handling and going the way we want covered by water all around .
The nature gave a different look when passed by than from view points.
Every minute minute my heart pounded . What if my kayak turned in water . What if something happened.
But experiencing this breathtaking moments are being always cherished ❤️

# data[].attributes.body
On November 2017, I went to Bali for a getaway with my mom and some of her friends joined as well. Rafting was one of the activities that we did. The place is called Toekad Rafting Ubud and it took some time to reach to the place by car. There are different kinds of trail depending on the river flow, you could say like the levels to the activity. At the time, we took the least vigorous river flow but yet still challenging since most of us are first timers, including myself. Before we jumped to the activity, we first wear safety gears such as helmet and life jacket. Then, we need to walked and climbed to get to the site. Each rafting boat is guided by one of the expert and only 6-8 people can fit in one boat. The ride lasts for 45 minutes to an hour. It was fun, there are times when the river flow was slow and fast. It was very thrilling, especially towards the end of the ride, there was a light rain and the water flow was heavy. We got stuck on one of the rocks and our rafting boat tilted. We each fell into the river and grabbed anything that we can grab on to so we don’t get carried by the heavy flow. We get back on our boat and finished our ride. It rained heavily after and we took a shower. We also had a meal provided by the place. Overall and personally, I had a really fun first time experience and would definitely like to try it again even though in one point it was really challenging and scary.

This is my first time doing Bungee jumping.
Actually I didn't have any plan to do this type of activities. When I decided to do this, I really it on the spur of the moment. The height of bungee jumping was about 50m and It was enough for me to feel fear. When I was standing in there before I bungeed, It was panic. I couldn't see or hear anything. So I tried 3 times and finally succeed. After I jumped, It's pretty nice experience and I felt new feeling. During the short that moment, I had a lot of thought and I can get  a lot of courage to succeed it. But I don't want to do again this activity.

Living in a country like Maldives where the main attractions are considered to be sun, sea and sand here’s my experience of scuba diving. Even though i grew up surrounded by the ocean, i always had a fear of deep waters.  A couple of friends of mine went island hopping and we decided to go to AA. Rasdhoo which is a small island which is quite famous for organizing such activities. It was a Friday, so after the Friday prayers we took a speed boat to a nearby sand bank. Once we reached there we geared up and swam until it was deep. Even though i knew how to swim i was terrified of deep water. Since it was our first time we had some officials who were with us making sure we were safe. We saw many things it was amazing. Once you’re under the water there’s this quietness you don’t want to get away from. It was so peaceful under there. We saw all colors of fishes swimming between us and to make our trip more wonderful we actually saw a sea turtle. The best part of the trip was while we were under the water we fed the fishes. The officials gave each one of us a plastic bottle of bread crumbs. While staying under water we squeezed some out of the bottle to our hands within seconds hundreds of fishes were swimming towards us eating the bread crumbs from our hands. We were there for about 20-30 mins it was getting a bit tiring. So returned back after eating our lunch took the speedboat back to the island.

Few months back, When i was in Bandung, Indonesia for my holidays. I went to this place name Maribaya, Bandung. I am not really sure about the name of the activity, but i think it is similar with the bicycle zipline . i couldnt get to do this in elsewhere, so its a new experience for me. I was terrified up there. The activity was to get on the bicycle and you have to paddle to the end. But it was really satisfying to see the view from up and it was really challenging for me because i only think of how bicycle can be on top of a single zipline, but thank god i was not alone. I was up there with my sister and uncle. Overall, it was a good experience , and i love it.

I went to the Cave in the Baguio, Philippines. For me, it was the first experience to do kind of adventure.
I went there with my teachers and friends around 12 people  and two tour guides which was  not independence trip.
I think It was extremely adventure because in the cave, we had to walk with a rock of low ceiling ,climb the rock with rope and swim in the lake. Moreover, we need to finish for 2 hours. But, all of my friends could success in time and there were no person who got hurt. Since we helped each other when we encountered a steep road and the guides advised us properly.

My very first rafting experience in Bali ,Indonesia
3 August , 2018
Last year I went whitewater rafting with my family in Bali, Indonesia. We reached the place around 10am the staff there served us morning tea which brought us some relief after a long and a tiring journey. The sky was clear and the sun was out which meant it was a perfect day to go for our river rafting expedition. As we came out of the tents covered in our rafting outfits four rafts and four guides were waiting for us. The guides told us about the safety measures. The guide did a 30 second induction, “When I say stop, stop, when I say left, paddle left, when I say right, paddle right, ok?” and off we went. With life jackets on and paddles in our hands, we were ready for the rendezvous with dangerous rapids. I was seated at the second place on the right side of the raft .Excluding the guide, there were five persons on our raft. The guide on our raft instructed us to sail forward and we started rowing our raft.

Paddling looked easy until we came across the first rapid. We could see the rapid from the distance, the violent waves, the roar of water and the stones in between. It seemed that those things together were threatening us to go back. But our adventurer’s spirits took us right in the middle of the rapid, and soon we found ourselves combating the strong current by rowing in sync and paddling as hard as we could. The spine chilling water had drenched us all and we were shivering badly. But we didn’t stop to paddle. Before we could know, we were out of that rapid and out of the breath too. We were coming up to the next scary chute and my heart started beating faster than ever as the raft collected speed from the waves. The rapid came and the raft began to wobble. We held each other, we held each other tightly. I am glad that no one among us panicked and we smoothly crossed that rapid. We took our positions again and as instructed by the guide, we were not paddling. The raft was effortlessly going forward and we were soaking up the lovely views put forth by green hills on one flank and sandy beaches on the other. These rapids gave us enough memories and stories to take back and share with our friends.

As soon as we left our rafts and came back to our tents we were served lunch. After lunch, we headed back home. It was a fun filled day with a lot of laughs, adventure, thrill and excitement.

Personal experience : The rock climbing (CLIMBING GYM).

That is my first time to join the indoor rock climbing in my life. I don’t have any specialised and beginning skills. Everything was learned on that day and learned on live.

Before I started the rock climbing, I signed a contract and followed all the rules and regulation. After payment and signed the contract, I went and measured my foot size and took my climbing shoes. (It was so tight and light)

We do in 4 people each group so it is not individual part. There was a climbing guide accompany with us from the beginning session until the end session. The guide teaches us the technique, skills and the things that we should care and notes. (e.g: using friction on the rope to control the descent to prevent us from falling). Before going through the rock climbing, the guide brings us to the lower climbing wall to practice just for us to adapt and warm up.

After the practice, we started our rock climbing from 1st level to the 4th level. Every level are different  and it was more challenges from level to level  (e.g: the height, the surface of the wall > might be flat or rugged, the types of rocks, or difficulty of routes…)

It was a life changing experience. Before that, I was anxious and afraid but as soon as I got on the rock, though, my nerves calm down and cooling down and I had a great time and experience.

ROCK CLIMBLING
Adventure Quardrants | Soft / Hard Adventure
ANSWER : Leisure  | ANSWER : Soft adventure
Does not require previous experience / specialise skills (the very first time also can do, it is like teach you on live and then you complete the task  | have risk but it is low risk
safe / low risk(someone looking for you from the starting to the end of activities, everything are all in control ) | its requiring minimal commitment and beginning skills(therefore we have a learning session before we are truly start the real rock climbing) (learning session is like the guide teach you the technique and skills and you practice and practice until the real  rock climbing start.)
not independence( do in group) | led by experience guides(guide us to do)

One of the most memorable experience that I ever had is in when I ride the snowmobile in niseko, japan. Hearing from my cousin’s story who has done this activity before makes me curious about this. I was very excited before but my feeling changed when I want to get on to the motor sled. The cold weather makes me more afraid. But I force myself to do that because I will regret it if I didn’t do. Firstly I ride the motorbike very slowly and carefully. The challenging part for me was when I want to turn the motorsled. But at the end I was enjoying it so much and I ended up with racing with my brother.

Truffle hunt - in Italy

November 2018

Adventure is all about taking each experience, regardless of the circumstances and facing it without any fear. It is about seeing the world from a different perspective, even if you’ve seen it a million times before.

To me, adventure is walking out your front door and not knowing what will happen next; approaching every day and all situations with a sense of openness and exhilaration.

Last year I went to Italy from my educational institution.  I got to experience many new things. It was challenging for me and even got to experience a lot of adventure which I never experienced before. I found truffle hunting very interesting and big fun. Truffle hunting is very serious business in Italy and overpriced. I have never heard about truffles so it was a new thing for me. A British lady who was our tour guide knew a farm lady who had a truffle dog would take us on truffle hunting expedition. These truffle dogs can sniff out the truffle for you. It was exciting. We first went to the forest, we walked few km for truffles but didn’t find the white truffle. So the guide asked us to climb up the mountain for white truffle which was challenging for me as it was my first time and I am afraid of heights. As we were up the mountain the route was so slippery it was too hard to climb. But still we managed to climb up and at last after 1 hour of hiking we found the white truffle. We collected few truffle and came down which was the worst part of my life. I guess it was a bit easy for me to climb up but too hard to go down. I almost tripped twice and my clothes got dirty and I had to stay like that for next 3hr because our hotel was quite far from the place. Even though it was the worst day for me but I had experienced something interesting which I never thought I will do. Whenever I think about this adventure it gives me happiness at the same time I get sacred.

Whale watching in Gold Coast.
It was my first time to see the real whale and also the Pacific Ocean. Why it was an adventurous experience to me?  The reasons is I feel fear and excited when saw the Pacific Ocean. I stand in front of the cruise and the waves of the sea was big. The water keep splashing on my face and the turbulence of the cruise was big.Then, they put the whale sound to attract the whale so tourists can saw them. When the sound on, I imagined that the whale or shark will appear from the bottom of the cruise.Then, the cruise will be turned over. I was surprised and lucky when saw the real whales and dolphins because it was a seasonal activity.

This was in December 2014, when I was in India for my holidays. We were at the peak of the Ponmudi, which is a hill-mountain and its peak is a part of the Western-Ghats mountain that runs parallel to the Arabian Sea. It was a rocky drive up the hill that led to the peak, and was a bit dangerous as well. From a certain point, the vehicle was parked and we climbed on our own. As we went up higher, it got colder and felt as if the clouds were passing right through us. There were many families alongside ours, clicking pictures and enjoying the surroundings. The view was breathtakingly beautiful, and very much worth the walk and the chill winds. I went there with my bestfriend and our families, so the only picture I have at the peak is a picture of us together. It was wonderful day!

This was my first time to experience this kind of activities. It might not be so challenging for certain people but this activity is quite challenging for me because im afraid of heights. But i have to say that this is a good experience for me because i had overcame my fear and just go for this activity. It looks scary in the beginning but afterward it is so relaxing and i can just look around the island. There is one moment that i felt so scary because the instructor make us fall into the sea water and pull us up to the sky again. It is so unpredictable but yet it is fun.

This picture was taken from the boat while my friend and I was doing parasailing.
I didn't want to try this activity as I have fear of height. But my friend forced me to try together. I didn't expect anything at all and was just scared to do it.
But after I tried it, I can say it was very fun.
Parasailing is a good adventure activity. Because the risks are actually lower and cost is also acceptable. We can feel just like we are flying.
It is really suitable for a beginner like me.
I felt like free and open minded and the view from the sky was very beautiful.
I can recommend this activity for those who have fear of height as it doesn't really make us feel difference in height.
It was exciting, enjoyable and a great experience.

For me, adventure is what I cannot do in normal life with a confidence. When I went Cebu, Philippines on 15th April 2017, Kawasan canning was adventure to me since it required a lot of confidence. I did diving in there, and the diving points of Kawasan were from 3m to 15m. At the first time, it was really scared to me, so I couldn’t jump in to the water. However, there was no choice to go down the mountain. The only way to go down the mountain was diving, so I got up my nerve and dive in to the water. After the first time, I succeed to dive until 11m. When I succeed each points, I felt a sense of accomplishment, and it felt good. Also, I could learn that the first try is always difficult, but if I overcome it, I can do in succession. It was really great experience to me, but since I couldn’t success 15m because it was too scared, so if I can go there again, I want to challange 15m and proove my confidence myself.

I went to Cameron Highlands about a months ago, the most exciting part of my trip was visiting the tea farms by hiring a Land rover which was very scary driving at the edge of the narrow roads next to the deep valleys specially the driver drove very fast.

We went to a point at the peak of the highest mountain and we were asked to continue to the peak by walk, to complete our adventure trip, we let the driver to go back alone and we also walked back down the hill. I consider this trip as soft adventure because the guide was a professional driver. I also saw the strawberry farm and also went to a restaurant nearby which was designed very uniquely.

There was also a farm called BOH which was for planting tea and also selling sea and beverages, there was path that tourists climbed up and down and many took pictures and enjoyed the view.
