Real extreme travel adventure
High-end travelers with an appetite for something different might want to look at a new company called On-The-Edge Adventure. Founder Rob Davis told TravelMole:
“North America is our primary target market.”
Mr Davis said each client fills out detailed background information that helps him formulate a special itinerary.
“We then push their physical, mental and cultural limits to the edge in an adrenaline-pumping adventure experience,” he said. His trips are designed to be “edgy, intimate and exciting.”
Mr Davis employs a dozen specialists, including experts in military operations, story consultants and others. The team of characters guides and challenges the travelers through a series of adventures that take place in Cambodia’s northern mountainous border regions.
An adventure could be searching for a remote forest temple in Thailand disguised as a Buddhist monk, or racing to Pol Pot’s tombstone in Cambodia.
The modes of travel by themselves are an adventure. They include bamboo river rafts, rickshaws, helicopters and elephants.
High levels of athleticism or a military background are not pre-requisites, but clients need to be in good physical condition, Mr Davis said.
A nine-day package trip costs $13,450. If two or three people want to take an adventure together, the price goes down.
Oh yes: Mr Davis recently finalized an agreement with an affiliate of Lloyds of
London to provide travel insurance to his clients.
