When most people think of going on an activity holiday, they may think of playing tennis in Tuscany or maybe a few rounds of golf in the south of France. But for some people, these kinds of activities are as adventurous as a Sunday tea party – even the usual extreme activities, like snowboarding, rock climbing and bungee jumping, are not dangerous enough. A new breed of extreme sport holidays has grown increasingly popular in recent years, as thrill seekers go abroad in search of new ways to achieve the ultimate adrenaline rush.

I’ve put together a list of the five strangest, daftest and most dangerous things to do on an extreme activity holiday. Some of these require training, equipment and experience, some of them just require the courage to go and do it! Of course, be aware that all of the activities listed below can be highly dangerous, so make sure you prepare thoroughly before you try any of them!

Bull Running

This extreme holiday is a long time favourite for adrenaline junkies – taking part in the Running of the Bulls is either the ultimate display of courage or of idiocy, depending on who you talk to. The festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain, has been going on for centuries, a nine day fiesta held each year from the 6th to the 14th of July. Every morning during the fiesta, the bulls that will be killed in that evening’s bull fights are let loose to run through a half mile stretch of the street, and ordinary members of the public run in front of them, dressed in white with red handkerchiefs tied around their necks. If you decide to take part in this unique and dangerous activity on a holiday in Pamplona, make sure you listen out for the rockets – the first firework is set off when the bulls are loosed, the second when they are all on the streets. When you hear the rockets, run!
