What to do and see in Virginia, United States: The Best Adrenaline & Extreme Tours

July 10, 2021 Layne Dawes

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Virginia Skydiving Center

Tandem Skydiving: You will attach directly to the front of a certified instructor's harness, and free fall together from between 13,500 and 14,000 feet, all the way down to 5000 feet, where the instructor (or you, if you're brave enough!) deploys the parachute! From this exit altitude, you will experience up to an ample 60 second free fall-plenty of time to enjoy the skydive!

iFLY Va Beach Indoor Skydiving

IFLY is an indoor skydiving experience that creates true free fall conditions, just like skydiving, without having to jump out of an airplane. IFLY's vertical wind tunnel generates 1400 horse power from 4 powerful fans, creating a wall-to-wall cushion of air on which you can safely float. There's no parachute, no jumping, and nothing attaching you to planet Earth. It's just you and the air, and it's the most incredible adrenaline rush. Ages 3 to 103! IFLY also offers education and team-building programs, as well as corporate events and birthday parties.

Planet Chopper, like most pure ideas, was born on the road. Father and Son Mark and Ben Van Leeuwarden had been travelling to the USA from New Zealand for motorcycle trips when they first met friends John Devonshire and Wayne Cayton in 2009. With a love for customs, old-fashioned fun and long-distance riding — the friendship kickstarted. Planet Chopper was created to foster and spread this spirit!
