★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 81 reviews · from $150Our pick

Review of Moab’s 3-hour Colorado River jet boat tour, with Dead Horse Point views, Thelma and Louise Point, tips, value, and FAQs.

“This was a unique tour of the canyons of Arches National Park. I what I mean by unique is that you can see the other sides that you can’t see from the top. Rory, our boat guide, is very knowledgeable about the area. He is fun and a joker. I would tour with him anytime.”

4.3-Hour Guided Canyoning in the Cocciglia Gorges

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $70

Canyoning in Tuscany’s Cocciglia Gorges brings swimming, rock climbs, current rides, and jumps up to 8 meters for $70.88.

“Challenging, fun and extraordinary experience, combined with rock climbing and swimming in the river. Great experience, especially if you are adventurous and like the adrenalinrush. Thought we were just supposed to walk around in the shallow water, but then it turned out we had to climb rocks, jump from the rocks and swim in a current river. Absolutely amazing experience! The tour was guides by a very friendly, kind, funny and encouraging tour guide. We were provided with wet suites and helmets. Gloves would have been nice, since some of the rock are very sharp and slippery. Would definitely recommend this experience (Would not recommend this to small children though).”

6.3-Hour Adrenaline Rafting on the Lima River in Bagni di Lucca

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $66

Raft the clear Lima River near Bagni di Lucca through Class II and III rapids, with wetsuits, cliff jumps, and scenic Tuscan villages.

“I ragazzi dello staff sono eccezionali. L’esperienza è “adrenalica” ma allo stesso tempo adatta per chiunque (niente di estremo per intenderci). Unica pecca? Mancano i servizi igienici al campo dove ci si cambia. Magari nel futuro spero che verrà presa in considerazione l’idea di acquistare un Sebach chimico. Avventura super consigliata nel complesso”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $79

Review of Arco’s easy Colodri via ferrata, with family-friendly climbing, guide Thomas, Lake Garda views, price, timing, and tips.

“We joined the 3-Hour Easy Via Ferrata to Sentiero Colodri with our two daughters (6 and 9) as part of my wife’s 40th birthday celebration, and it was simply perfect. The views were stunning, the route was fun and varied, and our guide Thomas made the whole experience extraordinary. At first the girls were a bit scared, but Thomas supported them both spiritually and physically, helping them feel confident and proud of what they achieved. By the end, they were all smiles. One even said, “This was the best birthday I’ve ever been to!” We enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this tour, and especially Thomas, to any family looking…”

8.3-Hour Small Group Coasteering in Sounio

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

Review of Sounio coasteering near Athens, with cliff jumps, snorkeling, climbing, Temple of Poseidon views, price, tips, and FAQs.

“Great experience. The area is beautiful, lots of different activities packed into one. You hike, scramble over boulders, cliff jump, snorkel. Our guide was great, she took pictures and sent them to us after. She helped arrange a driver for us from Athens who waited and let us visit the temple of Poseidon after before heading back to Athens. I have always been hesitant to cliff jump and figured I would not to any of them, but she started us on just a very small jump and kept moving us up to slightly bigger jumps. I jumped off much higher than I ever expected I would be willing.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 6 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $42

Review of Area 53 Williamsburg’s three-hour indoor adventure session, with ropes, climbing, skating, zip lines, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“On Sunday, I took my son to the park. In the ball pit area, he started throwing balls with other children. Then I saw a boy attack my son, slamming his head against the wall and punching him in the head. My reaction was to separate them and find the other boy's mother. She didn't care, claiming my son started it, but that doesn't justify the violence her son used. The manager couldn't do anything and didn't want to remove her from the premises, even though my son had head contusions, was trembling, and crying! He should have reviewed the security footage and removed those aggressive people. If I hadn't…”
