Sports are not only a great way to improve your physical and mental health, but they’re also a great source of giving you that adrenaline rush, granting you a feeling of power and exhilaration. We all need it from time to time! Even while watching your favourite sports matches or races, you might feel the passion and blood pumping sensations, with emotions of potential victory or failure building up in you. So whether you want to experience an escalation of emotions through discovering the various activities you can take, or if you’re just like us and would instead watch an F1 live stream free of charge, you’re in the right place to discover a list of the most adrenaline-packed activities. We’ve made this list of sports that will undoubtedly give you a grat adrenaline rush.

Skydiving 

It’s certainly not one for the faint-hearted, but it will surely get your adrenaline pumping! Parachuting is indisputably an adventure that’s worth experiencing. A combination of striking emotions with the feeling of being free like a feather and the satisfaction after landing makes it palpably a rollercoaster of emotions worth experiencing. It’s less scary than you think once you make the step and jump out of that plane; however, not everyone manages to make that jump. We can’t think of a better way to experience the rush of jumping out of an aircraft tens and thousands of feet above the ground and plunging at an unparalleled speed while viewing the stunning landscapes of earth from above.

Paragliding  

Similar to parachuting, paragliding is a more extended parachute jumping experience - combining both the ability to see places from a birds-eye view with the added enthusiasm of flying above a city. A paragliding experience is best enjoyed with some stunning views because we can only imagine the beauty of flying over the Sugarloaf Mountains in Rio De Janeiro. 

Heli-skiing  

Stepping out of a chopper on top of the mountain and riding the untouched trails of snow is an adrenaline-filled experience. You’ll be able to discover the paths unreachable from a typical ski lift and feel what it really means to be at the top of the world (or the top of a mountain). This experience can set you back a few thousand dollars, but if you feel like splurging on a thrilling activity - this is one you shouldn’t omit. We’ll leave this extreme sport to experienced skiers, so if you’re skilled enough riding those mountains, why not add some extra adrenaline to your usual black trails and indulge in a feeling like never before.

Surfing 

Surfing is just like life, sometimes you’re up with the waves, and sometimes you might be lying with your nose in the sand. However, just like in life, the adrenaline rush while being on top of the highest waves can bring a dose of testosterone that we all need sometimes. There isn’t another place for surfing like the stunning island of Indonesia, which comprises around 17,000 islands - with one of them being Lombok - the heavenly destination for all surfers. Surfing will not only provide you with adrenaline pumping throughout your veins but will also let you experience the aura of the turquoise ocean around you. After a day of surfing, consider going for a local cocktail around the island. After all, are you really on the beach if you don't have a Piña Colada in your hand? 

Cage Diving With Sharks 

This extreme activity involves the feeling of only a metal cage separating you and one of the world’s most dangerous creatures. There’s something beautiful about being in the proximity of a great white shark - nearly like a paradox of a small barrier putting a restraint of its massive power on it. If you ever find yourself in Cape Town, the home of the Great White sharks, an adrenaline thrilling cage dive is an activity you must try. Gaze into the shark’s eyes, and look at its knife-sharp jaws while discovering the beauty of our Earth’s ocean creatures. However, if the classic movie Jaws has taught us anything, it’s that experiences with the wild are best observed from a cage.

Rock Climbing 

An activity available in most places in the world makes it a perfect option, regardless of your current location. A combination of an intense workout with the adrenaline-filled thrill of climbing makes it an ideal choice if you’re up for an unforgettable adventure. The only thing that can make it even better is a breathtaking view while doing so. Our recommendation for places to try this one out is basically anywhere globally - from the mountain peaks of Peru to Indonesia’s breath-stopping views from Mount Merapi. 

So, whether you’re more inclined to come face to face with a miscellaneously carnivorous group of sharks (sounds extreme, we know) through the barriers of a cage, or maybe want to tick off that bucket list adventure of skydiving, we can guarantee that you’ll feel an adrenaline rush like never before. The beauty of extreme sports and adventures is that it creates lifetime memories and lets you experience something you wouldn’t necessarily explore in your everyday life. Regardless of your choice, these activities are unique, thrilling, and exciting. And we all need that rush of adrenaline from time to time, to keep us going and doing our best.

We feature Skydiving, Paragliding, Heli-skiing, Surfing, Rock Climbing, and Cage Diving With Sharks in this guide to Sports That’ll Give You an Adrenaline Rush.
