Queenstown, New Zealand\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nQueenstown<\/a> is often referred to as \u201cThe Adventure Capital of the World.\u201d Not only is it\u00a0ridiculously stunning, it is also home to a ton of adrenaline activities. In fact, bungee jumping was born here, thanks to AJ Hackett opening the first commercial bungee jump off the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge (141 feet) right outside of Queenstown in 1986. AJ has since opened up\u00a0The Nevis\u00a0<\/a>(440 feet) for adrenaline seekers looking for even more height.<\/p>\nIf jumping off<\/em> of things isn\u2019t your thing, try jumping out<\/em>\u00a0of a plane at 15,000 feet.\u00a0Skydiving\u00a0in Queenstown is among\u00a0the best in the world, with gorgeous views of the city\u00a0and the Remarkables mountain range. Other activities worth checking out in Queenstown include hang-gliding, SHOTover\u00a0jet\u00a0boating, the Skyline Queenstown luge, whitewater rafting, canyon swing, river surfing, snowboarding, skiing and many other hair-raising\u00a0adventures.<\/p>\n![\"5-adrenaline-fueled-destinations-for-thrill-seekers-gettingstamped-1\"](\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/5-Adrenaline-Fueled-Destinations-for-Thrill-Seekers-GettingStamped-1.jpg\")

Victoria Falls is an adrenaline filled wonder of the world – Photo by GettingStamped.com<\/p><\/div>\n
Victoria Falls\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nLive life on the edge\u2014literally\u2014at Devil\u2019s Pool. During the drier months in Zambia<\/a>, typically mid-August to mid-January, you can literally walk\/swim along the edge of Victoria Falls. Over the thousands of years, rock pools have formed, one of them right at the edge of Victoria Falls forming what’s now known as the “Devil’s Pool.” Victoria Falls\u00a0spans 5,600 feet across\u00a0with a drop of over 360 feet. Devil\u2019s Pool is the most epic (and completely natural) infinity pool in the world.\u00a0You can only access it\u00a0from the Zambia side of Victoria Falls. Another unique feature around the falls is a microlight flight, where you basically strap yourself into a giant fan with wings. These miniature planes take flight over the falls for a one-of-a-kind experience.<\/p>\nOther top\u00a0Victoria Falls activities<\/a>\u00a0include bungee\u00a0jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge 364 feet above the crocodile infested waters,\u00a0paragliding, helicopter tours above the falls and through the gorges, white water rafting, abseiling, walking with lions and many more activities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
