If you’ve got an adventurous heart or spirit, have we got a list for you. Culture Trip’s curated roll call of the best in high-adrenaline, hands-on fun you can have in Las Vegas will make you excited to don your running shoes and go, go, go.

Las Vegas is known for high-intensity experiences, and it’s got one to suit everybody’s tastes. Whether you want to survive the apocalypse, test your might on a shooting range or mount a horse and giddyup! your way to a hard-earned breakfast, Vegas has got you covered. You can even delight in an aerial look at the city by hot-air balloon or take in the same view at higher speeds.

Tours

Paddle on the beautiful Colorado River to Emerald Cave’s clear glowing water. This will be a 4.5-mile roundtrip.

Tours

We offer targets out as far as 500 yards. Feel the excitement of shooting at more than 30 steel and exploding targets. We offer the best of both worlds: outdoor shooting with the comfort of indoors from our exclusive climate-controlled firing lines. YOU CHOOSE from more than 80 guns, including fully automatic, sniper, large-caliber weapons and even iconic Western guns. No shooting experience? No problem. You will have one-on-one instruction from a friendly instructor on each gun. FREE videos and photos! FREE exploding targets & FREE shuttle transportation!

Activities

This scenic hot-air balloon ride is an exhilarating way to see the scenery outside of Las Vegas. Soar with unobstructed 360-degree views of the stunning mountain and desert ranges. Flying in Pahrump, outside of Las Vegas, allows us to climb as high as 10,000 feet, making this one of the highest flights available! No two flights are ever the same, with flight direction 100% determined by the day’s wind. An approximately 1-hour flight will create memories to last a lifetime. Once safely on the ground, enjoy a traditional Champagne toast and receive your commemorative flight certificate signed by your expert pilot. Join us for your adventure of a lifetime today!

Tours

Ever imagined soaring from the top of a mountain with an eagle’s eye view? Let your imagination become reality and experience the thrill and beauty of Bootleg Canyon Zipline – The ONLY Manual Zipline in the Vegas Area, located on Red Mountain in Historic Boulder City. You can book a private experience by purchasing all 12 spaces or be added to a tour that is running. We can accommodate up to 100 in day; this does require the group split into parties of 20-25 that arrive 30 minutes apart from each other.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR JOB?

It's the personal contact, the personal experiences. I love meeting people from all over the world... I really like getting to know everyone and feeling like I'm traveling with a group of friends.

WHAT DESTINATION IS ON YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET-LIST?

I have so many places on my list, but I would really lobe to go to Africa. I consider myself an “adventure girl” and Africa feels like the ULTIMATE adventure!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
