Activity holiday formats are the focus of this installment of our guide to activity holidays.

Activity holidays are available in a wide range of formats and there one ares to suit everyone's tastes. There is bicycling, winter-time, wilderness, special interest, and of course thrill-seeking.

Climb rocks, go white water rafting, and cave exploring, these are included the popular thrill seeking trips. There are plenty of multi-activity holidays where you can spend a day or two doing each until moving on or you can just stick with one. These are an ideal way to challenge yourself and to have new and exciting experiences.

The wilderness holidays are awesome for people who like to hang outside, especially in deserts, jungles, mountains, and so on. All seven continents can be visited, with the Sahara, Namib and Gobi deserts, the jungles of South and Central America, Northern India and Central Africa, the great mountain ranges of The Andes, Alps, Atlas, Himalaya and Rockies, the Tibetan plateau, the Antarctic and the Outback of Australia, being popular with adventurous travelers. Such trips are generally made up of trekking, camping, survival skills courses, and lessons on the people, cultures and wildlife you'll come across.

Ski cross country and downhill, go snowboarding, you can even go with the lesser tried ones such as dog sledding or snow mobiling. These are often offered in more unusual and unspoiled locations than you would normally see them advertised and allow you to escape the crowds that you would normally come across.

Go biking in the mountains on great expeditions, or perhaps a gentle flat area is more to your liking, both are possible on bike holidays. Just like mountains for skiing, bicycle trails are graded on a scale due to their difficulty and how the trial is laid out, off or on road.

Special interest holidays are available for those with a real interest and passion in one subject or a range of subjects. Examples of interests catered for in such a way include photography, yoga, archaeology, conservation and language learning. You will need to pick up a lot of knowledge throughout your trips and at one point you will become and expert in whatever you choose to pursue.
