Brazil, South America
Going fishing might not sound adventurous, but when it's fishing for the world's deadliest fish, the piranha, keeping your fingers clean from their sharp, hungry mouths can be quite a task. Take a fishing trip to Patantal, Brazil's natural habitat of piranhas, and ensure you don't leave with a nasty souvenier. Brazil is also ideal for kitesurfing (a water sport that uses the wind to pull a rider on a small surfboard), climb a tree and get to a 100 feet above the forest overlooking the Rio Negro River and go rafting down the rapids of Paraibuna River.
Cape Town, South Africa
This is your chance to come face to face with Jaws the much-feared white shark. See the magnificent creature in close quarters in your diving suit and a cage. If you're not a water baby, scale the beautiful mountains of Cape Town on an ATV or a quad bike, go sandboarding on white sand dunes at Atlantis (a nature reserve nearby) or get an overhead view of the gorgeous city after a three-hour strenuous hike up Table Mountain.
