Why To Adventure Locally

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Do you find it ironic that in order to relax and have time out, people always suggest that we go away on holiday.

“Will”, they say, “What you need need is a holiday, take some time out, relax”.

A holiday that we will have to pay for, money probably being one of the reasons we are so stressed in the first place.

Its not always a holiday you need, just better use of your weekend. That picture in the hall does need hanging and the backdoor does need to be painted…. however, there is a Canadian canoe next to a river in north east Scotland with your name on it.

When you think of adventure holidays, you can be deterred by; inexperience, lengthy training or strange pricing. The real fear comes when ever we try something new, whatever it is. The real trick however is having a good time, doing something new that leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment, and still having your wallet and limbs intact. beouthere.com gives you an option to search for your weekend destination as well as your activity. Inspiration can come from others, this is why you will find other peoples experiences on there so you know how much fun your going to have.

Like G2 Outdoor, based in the Cairngorm National park, they offer an awesome range of trips and courses from one day to a couple of weeks.

But, they are not yet reviewed. So perhaps you’re the first, and as you take the road to Scotland you can think seriously about how your trip, although a first for you, will help others have a better understanding about what an awesome weekend away this was going to be.

Adventure Travel Reviews

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

At beouthere.com we want to answer the question that all adventure travellers ask before booking a tour: who is the best adventure travel operator?

At beouthere.com we go one better than telling you our own opinion. We give you the opinions of 1000s of adventure travellers who have experienced these companies before.

User reviews are the most powerful medium when it comes to product recommendations. Take tripadvisor, for example. Thanks to these guys, there are very few hotel users who will book up without checking tripadvisor.

On that same premise, beouthere.com aims to give potential adventure travellers the confidence to book a trip and know that they are going to have an experience that fits their requirements, and dreams!

From our point of view, there are three main areas that adventure travellers are concerned with:

1. What kind of visitor experience am I going to have?
2. How green is the company I’m going to use?
3. How out-there or adventurous will my trip actually be?

Adventure travellers operate at different ends of a scale, some want unadulterated adventure, at any cost, to their wallets or the environment, and some want soft adventure, on a budget with very little impact on the environment.

Adventure travel reviews are the easiest way for adventure travellers to find the best experience at the lowest risk.
