Swim with deadly crocodiles in Australia

Ever wish for the opportunity to get up close and personal with a crocodile? Most sane people would say no, but if that’s something you’re into, one company in Darwin City can make it happen.

Skydive over Mt. Everest

Sure, you could climb Mount Everest, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, you can skydive from 29,500 feet, even higher than the summit, and freefall all the way to base camp. The views are incredible and the thrills are unparalleled.

Go swimming in ice water in Finland

Believe it or not, ice swimming isn’t considered extreme at all in Finland. If you go there and try it, they say, you’ll experience an “incomparable energy boost” from dipping into the icy waters. Though the initial shock of the cold is always tough to face, the overall result is a warm and invigorating sensation throughout the body.

Dive down and explore the remains of the Titanic

For $60K, Deep Ocean Expeditions (DOE) will take you to the wreck of the RMS Titantic. Dive 12,000 feet down in a submersible and see the most famous shipwreck in the world. Rumor has it, DOE is discontinuing their diving expeditions in July, so you better act fast!

Drive a Zapcat powerboat

Zapcats are essentially the inflatable hulls of a catamaran boat. They’re light, nimble, and can reach incredible speeds. Oh, and if you hit a wave just right, you might see your life flash before your eyes!

Hang out in zero gravity

Zero-G is a company that uses Boeing 727 planes to simulate the feeling of weightlessness. The planes perform a specific maneuver called a “parabola” that moves the aircraft in such a way that the people aboard feel no gravity acting upon them. Each ride begins at $4,950 per person, but the ability to fly seems pretty priceless to me.

Raft or kayak down the Grand Canyon

Heli-skiing means that you’re no longer confined to the resorts of your skiing past. Instead, try being dropped out of a helicopter at the top of some of the most thrilling and remote mountains in the world. One trip like this and you’ll never be seen on a skilift again!
