3.4 Tours Adventure tours Adventure travel is a leisure activity that takes place outside the tourist's comfort zone to enjoy experiences requiring some degree of risk (real or perceived) and sometimes physical danger. Activities can be "hard" involving a high level of risk and requiring advanced skills, or "soft" which are less dangerous and require minimal commitment with beginning skills. The destinations are usually remote and exotic areas, sometimes hostile regions too.
