Urban Adventures: Hang Gliding in Los Angeles

Why not add a little adrenaline rush to your next big metropolitan vacation? Here are 13 sporting adventures to enjoy inside the city limits.
For a bird's-eye view of the Southern California coast, head to Dockweiler State Beach and jump off the bluff on your very own hang glider. You’ll soar above a broad beach fronting the Pacific Ocean, but not so high that you’ll get in the way of planes taking off and landing at nearby LAX. Windsports Soaring Center provides all the gear and instruction you’ll need.

Rain Forest Adventures

Borneo

Getting wet is a whole lot more fun when you’re on vacation. And the opportunity to see monkeys, elephants, sloths and bears makes the trip even more spectacular. Here are 12 rain-forest experiences you shouldn’t miss.
The Malaysian rain forest is home to a variety of miniature versions of animals found elsewhere on the planet: deer no bigger than a toy poodle, pocket-size owls and pygmy elephants. On the other end of the spectrum is the proboscis monkey, with the biggest nose in the primate kingdom, and the Rafflesia plant, whose 3-foot-long flowers are by some measures the world’s largest. See all of this and more with a stay at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge, a 31-chalet camp on the banks of Sabah’s Danum River.
