Surrounded by a sea of cubicles day after day, guys are starting to feel a bit, well, wimpy. And when they do head out on vacation, they spend their time in shopping malls and at historical landmarks. Sometimes, guys just need to satisfy the inner male. Bored with everyday life, men are starting to take part in 'mancations. These vacations for guys focus on hardcore activities, such as white water rafting, zip lining, alpine climbing and more. Some people may critique such activities as reckless and stupid, but that is simply part of their appeal.

The following are some activities guys should plan on doing when they take extreme vacations:

Hang Gliding

Ever wished you could be a pilot? Hang gliding gives you that opportunity, without all the hassle of attending flight school. Unless you want to be wimpy and go attached to someone else, you'll want to invest in a little training so that you can hang glide on your own. Be sure to choose a scenic area so that you can appreciate the bird's eye view.

Rock Climbing

Prove you're a real man by conquering mountains. If your arm strength is lacking, this sport will get you up to snuff in no time. Beginners usually find it helpful to practice at climbing walls before heading out for rock climbing mancations.

Zip Lining

On the playground, little boys love zooming on miniature zip lines. Once they grow up into men, these same boys feel compelled to do the same thing on a grander scale. There is nothing quite as thrilling as letting a zip line pull you over the canopy of a luscious forest. Like hang gliding, zip lining is always better when you're surrounded by natural beauty. Zip lining is one of the best kept, extreme sport secrets.

White Water Rafting

If you aren't a big fan of heights, this may be the ideal way to satisfy the inner male. Instead of gliding through the air, you'll be ripping through crazy waves, trying your hardest not to be dumped into the water. There are a variety of companies that offer white water rafting on some of the craziest rivers in the country.

Spelunking

They may be dark and full of bats, but caves are pretty cool places to spend extreme vacations. When you go spelunking, you'll get to crawl around all kinds of crevices while wearing a headlamp. There are plenty of caves around the country at which explorers are allowed to pitch tents and camp out overnight.

Everybody always talks about how women need to be pampered, but guys also need 'me time.' Mancations allow men to release pent up stress while experiencing the exhilaration of adventure.
