Do you love the idea of observing animals in the wild? There are a number of travel-adventure companies that offer these types of excursion.

One of the most popular is dolphin watching. If you go to Cornwall, Britain you can take boats out to watch large bottlenose dolphins in twelve or more leaping happily through the air.  Sometimes you can see more than 1000 at a time in the winter.  Another place where you can see a lot of dolphins at once is in the Azores islands in the mid-Atlantic where Dolphin guides teach you how to float in the water with them.

Bonobos are vegetarian chimps that are very closely related to humans. However they “make love” and not war and there are excursion that take you to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to watch hundreds of these apes taking part in a mass orgy.  If you are interested in seeing this massive sex show, then contact the British adventure company called Discovery.

If you love tigers then you might want to visit the big cat sanctuary in Thailand that is run at monastery by Buddhist monks. This attraction also features visits to a waterfall with eight cliffs and a butterfly forest.   If you wish to spot the rare snow leopard there are excursion up Kashmir’s loftiest plateau to find him plus his friends – the blue sheep, Tibetan donkeys, bearded vultures and golden eagles.

Also in Himalaya you can spend weeks living in tribal villages and riding elephants bareback in search of the rare single-horned blue rhinoceros.

Do you want to see the same sights that Darwin did when he developed his theory of evolution. If so then head for the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador. Her you can see the giant tortoises, land iguanas and blue—footed boobies that inspired his theory of evolution.  You can also visit the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz Island.

Another interesting adventure, offered by Responsible Travel, takes you through twelve days of hiking in the Argentine Lake district in search of the condor and wild vultures. You will also see all kinds of barren life forms, volcanoes and towering waterfalls?

Are sharks your thing?  Then travel to the Southern Bahamas where the water is always warm and where you can spot barracuda, horse-eye sharks, jacks, hammerheads and bull sharks.
