Skydiving in Fiji

Why take a flying leap in Fiji? "The beauty of skydiving in Fiji is that it's so relaxed and laid back, just like the Fiji life," explains Raumati Wikaire, General Manager of GlobalBedBank Fiji, the whl.travel local partner on the island. Seeing the islands and reefs of gorgeous Fiji was a great distraction to calm the nerves. Before I know it, we're rolling out the door and falling through the air. My skin is rippling and I don't know whether to keep my mouth open or closed. But after a few seconds I get used to the sensation and enjoy the feeling of flying. I feel powerful."

Whitewater Rafting in Jinja, Uganda

Abseiling Down a Waterfall in Mpumalanga, South Africa

The Elands River waterfall in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is a hotspot for ‘abseiling' or ‘rappelling.' The whl.travel local partner on site offers two variations of a dramatic descent down the canyon wall – one for beginners and one for the more experienced - or whoever "promises not to chicken out." Abseilers enjoy a swim in the river at the bottom, then a challenging climb back to the top that is known to pique interest in rock climbing too. Addictive, isn't it?

Encounters from a Kayak (Paperback) $25.01 What makes travel special? Perhaps the chill realization that a polar bear`s eyes are fixed on you. Maybe it is the chance meeting with a man who buries sharks in a beach, only to dig them up months later, not out of morbid curiosity, but for food. Perhaps it is the undulating wing-beat of a dark shell-less gastropod in the canal of a 17th Century French sea port, or the criminal history of a rusting ship with a tree growing from its hold.Encounters in a Kayak brings the reader along on the magical experiences that surround sea kayaking. It`s about the animals, people, and special places around the globe that have grabbed the attention of renowned kayaker and writer Nigel Foster. His irrepressible curiosity drives him to tease out the unexpected stories hidden behind his subjects. These nuggets from around the world are bound together by water and a centuries-old form of sea travel: kayak. The result is a book of broad appeal for those interested in kayaking, traveling, and adventure.

Kayak $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A kayak (sometimes generalised as a canoe) is a small humanpowered boat that traditionally has a covered deck, and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler who strokes a doublebladed paddle. The cockpit is covered by a spraydeck (skirt) that keeps the inside of the boat (and the paddlers lower body) dry. The spraydeck or similar waterproof covering attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible, in some boats, to roll the kayak, capsizing and righting the boat without it filling with water or ejecting the passenger.
