Adventure travel is a tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote or exotic areas, where the traveler should "expect the unexpected". Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity, as tourists seek different kinds of vacations. According to the U.S. based Adventure Travel Trade Association, adventure travel may be any tourist activity, including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction and engagement with nature.
Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing its participants to step outside of their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts, that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk (real or perceived) and/or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, rafting, zip-lining and rock climbing. Some obscure forms of adventure travel include disaster tourism and ghetto tourism. Other rising forms of adventure travel include social tourism, jungle tourism and overland travel.

Tag along touring is a popular way to explore the Australian Outback for a number of reasons. Once you could just set off on an Australian outback trip with a laissez-faire attitude, it is now becoming harder to do.
Restrictions and security are becoming a major concern to the would be Australian adventure traveler. 4 wheel driving enthusiasts are no exception.
There is no better way to travel the Australian Outback than to tagalong with experienced 4wd tour guides that have "been there, done that" and "know all the ropes".
