Some of the best places to BASE jump are Meru Peak in the Himalayas, Trango cliff in Pakistan,New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, West Virginia, Perrine Bridge jump in Idaho, etc. Lysefjord in Norway however offers the biggest drops, the least hassle and best scenery for BASE jumpers.

Shark Cage Diving
If you haven’t watched Jaws and are absolutely terrified, you can head to South Africa to get up close and personal with Great White Sharks. You are taken little off the coast of South Africa where great white sharks hunt; fish guts are poured overboard to get the sharks attention and then you are dropped into the water in with nothing but a steel cage separating you and their massive jaws.
