Top 3 Unique and Adventurous Ways to Spend Your Weekend

We all sometimes struggle to find unique ways to spend the weekend. Do not waste your time in front of a TV or just lying around - you think it is a good way to relax and to rest but it isn't. It can be negative emotionally and physically. So, I am offering 3 unique ways to spend your weekend with a taste of adventure.

1. Canoeing

If you are an adventurous type of person and love nature, you can definitely try out canoeing. It includes great fun, adventure and sightseeing. However, it is a fair physical challenge and you can expect sore muscles the next day. There is a huge variety of different canoe trips and the price varies from 1000 to 50 dollars. You can choose an area that is suitable for you and time of your trip. You can spend up to a week canoeing but in this case we want to spend no more than 2 days because it is intended for the weekend.

A canoe trip in Boundary Waters in Minnesota is offered for 60 dollars per person. You will be provided with proper outfits and other gear needed for canoeing. They offer guides for $160. Sawbill Canoe Outfitters will provide you with all necessary equipment, guides and will assist you. Source.

Canoeing is a great way to relax and in the same time workout physically.

2. Paintball

If courage and seek of adventure and fun is in your blood, you can go for a weekend paintball match with your friends and family. Paintball can be very exciting and you can feel like a true soldier in the battle. In paintball, players fight in teams or individually with a special paintball gun called paintball marker which uses bullets filled with paint.

You can rent indoor or outdoor paintball fields with all the equipment you will need. Gun will cost around $20, Co₂ and compressed air (which are used to fire out balls with paint) refills for about $10, proper outfit costs about 25-30 dollars.

3. Hot air balloon ride

Hot air balloon ride is the most unique and amazing experience you can have. Dedicate your weekend for a hot air balloon ride and you will be astonished like I was. Being a passenger in a hot air balloon is not cheap. Dancing on AIR, Inc. offers hot air balloon services in New York City for 215 dollars per passenger for approximately one hour of flight. A total group of 4 or more people can be assembled. Source.

All in all, canoeing, paintball and hot air balloon ride are only three of hundreds unique and adventurous ways to spend your weekend.
