Destinations for December

We know December is only a few days away, but we will make sure you are on a plane tomorrow to your favorite destination. I would like to give you some great suggestions for December.

But first the reasons why you should travel in the middle of winter;

To avoid family dinners … (ooops sorry mom), to choose to get fit instead of a stuffed turkey, Because you already have days off from work anyway, because you know you get that Christmas bonus, Because you rather spend your money on a great adventure than on useless presents and a new suit you will never wear again….

If you wish you can be on that plain by tomorrow. What about our great Thailand gap year programmes. We have some great programmes in Thailand (on the tropical island of Koh Tao) Yoga, Muay Thai, Diving, rock climbing or a combination of 2 or more extreme sports in Thailand.

Or what about South Africa? Our winter is their summer. Learn to surf is a fantastic programme, and useful for life! Cape Town will be a great pace to celebrate Christmas or even new Year.

In Australia it is summer too! And New Years eve on Bondi beach is going to be a big event again. So if you fancy going to Australia, this is a great time to go. Whether you want to learn how to surf, become a beach life guard, if you want to see the big red rock or start working there… let us know and we will sort you out!

Tiger Shark diving with Xtreme Gap

Tiger Shark Diving in South Africa with Xtreme Gap.

Just last week two Xtreme Gap travelers went to South Africa in search if the Tiger shark, and what a great time they had.

We just got back the feedback form, and wow do we wish we had been there. Next to the Tiger sharks these two lucky extreme sports lovers saw a back tip shark and a humpback whale! Our guide had the right equipment on board so they could listen to the humpbacks singing, an amazing experience. They where guides extremely well, but diving experience is really a must, since you are diving with sharks and feeling comfortable in the water will make you enjoy the experience way more. This experience inspired them to do more Shark Diving holidays in the future, very handy that Xtreme Gap is an expert in diving programmes!

 

Next to the diving, the accommodation was highly rated, good rooms, real friendly staff and a nice communal room to meet other travelers.

 

Taking a gap year in South Africa is very popular these days and Cape Town (also starting point for many shark diving programmes) is a great city to start your gap year in South Africa.

Next to the diving programmes you can find lots of other adrenaline travel options. Like Kite surfing, surfing, Sky diving, abseiling and do not forget, South Africa has the highest bungee jump in the world!
