Adventure tours are truly becoming a phenomenon. Just about everyone wants to live life to its fullest. Here is a list of some of the interesting adventure tours of today.

1. Alcatraz Island. The name of a San Francisco island from which no prisoner ever escaped is also the name of a former federal prison that is known as "The Rock." Island cruises are offered by many San Francisco tour companies and provide not only a tour of the former prison itself, but also offers a spectacular view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate during either day or evening tours.

Haunted places. Considered as some of the most fascinating adventure tours are those that include haunted locations and they are also popular worldwide. Everything from haunted hotels to restaurants and even former homes are certainly eligible for inclusion in any list of adventure tours for those who dare.

Whale watching. There is nothing more adventurous than a Hawaiian whale watching excursion. What these large creatures do is migrate to the islands in search of comfortable living and are frequently seen on regular tours offered by charter companies throughout the state.

4. The Greenbrier Hotel. Located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, The Greenbrier Hotel is a popular resort area that attracts both politicians and celebrities around the nation. Known for it's picturesque mountain setting and peaceful serenity, the Greenbrier is nestled in the hills that made West Virginia famous. For years, guests didn't know about an underground bunker that had been built especially for high levels of government officials. The hotel has offered tours of the bunker and its underground layout in recent years.

Niagra Falls. If you believe that bigger is better, then Niagra Falls is the perfect place for all waterfall lovers. There are area hotels that offer spectacular views of one of nature's most spectacular creations as well as local companies that offer boat tours that provide a close up view of the falls.

f) Africa safari. If you love animals and have a taste for true adventure, there is nothing more suited for you than an African safari. What you will see here is a live view of some of the world's most amazing animals in their natural habitat and running freely in the wild. For the truly adventurous, an African tour is bound to quench your thirst.

g) Hawaiian 7-island tour. A Hawaiian 7-island tour is perhaps not adventurous in the way many think but it is definitely an adventure in its own right. Yours for the viewing in the state of Hawaii is everything from hiking up to the top of an active volcano that has been constantly erupting for years on the Big Island to helicopter tours over untouched paradise. And when you are through being adventurous, there is always the relaxation of the rolling ocean waves to calm your nerves after a long day.
