For adventure travelers, is Australia or New Zealand the more extreme down under experience? – Part 4

Australia to New Zealand is similar to comparing England to Ireland or even America to Canada. New Zealand is arguably more towards a calm atomosphere and may possibly be edging on boring for the adventure traveller. Australia is where the real party is and writing not as an expert, but claiming to have lots of experience, I think its hard to say what an adventure traveller is.

For example does this mean to enjoy skydiving but hate clubbing? or to love beach partys but hate camping? On the support of the stereotype ‘adventure junky’ Australia may fit suit more with its wider range of activities and generally larger cities for nightlife.

It is also here you often hear the phrase ‘the great outdoors’ and being a similar size to the USA there’s plenty of outdoors to explore! New Zealand supplies plenty of rivers and some of the best landscape scenery to be found on the globe, according to lonely planet books, Australia however has far more of a variation in which you can find beaches similar to Thailand in some areas, cities close to New York in others and then theres the outback competing with the Gran Canyon in the center.

According to many travel sites Australia is a travellers haven and is catered well towards them, therefore adventure tours such as quad biking, skydiving and rock climbing are quite often more accessible. But who knows, after the adventure overload some might say you need to go to New Zealand just to get some rest.
