Couples, who have had their fill of romantic cruises or luxury suites and would rather go on an adventurous trip to rejuvenate their romance, have several options. Such escapades can be fun-filled, romantic, exploratory and at the same time bring the couple together in its own unique way. The best romantic escapades of the world include:
Scuba diving/snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
What could be better than a dive into the inviting ocean off Queensland coast, with your beloved? The quiet island of Heron is the perfect paradise for scuba divers and snorkelers over the world with its gorgeous coral islands, teeming with a variety marine life, waiting to be explored at the diver’s own pace. Just a few steps from the shore, the divers can even strap on a snorkel and stay for hours on a scuba tank, well under 20 feet of water.

The thrill and excitement of white water rafting is incomparable. About 805 kilometers from Manhattan, this five day adventure packed trip on the remote river Magpie is said to invigorate people like nothing else can! It covers a total of 65 kilometers and starts with a descent in to the Magpie River from a float plane. The following five days have couples paddling and airlifting around several obstacles in and around the 80-foot Magpie Falls.
Skydiving at Taupo, New Zealand

Ranch stay at Zapata Ranch in Colorado
The activities on this ranch could be a hair-raising experience for the couples while still getting them to do things together. From enjoying horse-back riding on the 50,000-acre pasture, grazing bison and cattle to riding real cow horses, assisting with maintenance of irrigation flow in fields, fixing barbed wires, monitoring water levels and grass growth. A ride through the Great Sand Dunes National Park, picnic lunches, sunrise photography, High Mountain hiking, fishing & birding trips through the ranch and San Luis Valley- the adventure on this trip is simply unstoppable!
Apart from all the above adventure trips, couples can even opt for numerous other activities like camping in forests, ATV (all-terrain vehicle) riding, skiing, bungee-jumping- all of which require considerably less time but can give similar thrills. Gazing at a still photograph of yourself and your loved one on that exciting adventure trip can bring back memories of the adventure as well as a force of adrenaline up your veins. So are you sport for that plunge with your partner?
