In addition to making plans for activities, Airbnb Adventures hosts offer lodging and food, coordinate the tools listing, and provide nearby transportation. “Getting entry to epic and transformational travel has in no way been simpler than via Airbnb Adventures,” says Joe Zadeh, VP of reviews at Airbnb.
“Like Airbnb Experiences, people can get away daily and put their displays and gadgets away. But now, rather than only a few hours, they have the choice to be fully immersed off-the-crushed-direction, to push themselves out in their comfort zones and have experiences with a purpose to live with them for the rest of their lives.” Hosts are the carriers of the adventures: they set up their journey and control when and where the host is, the itinerary, wherein they stay, what services they offer, and what they price, notes Zadeh.
“Typical adventure trips available range from monitoring lions walking with Sabache Warriors in Kenya, to attempting to find unidentified flying items in Arizona, to a surf tenting trip in Malibu. Also on offer is a nearby shark research adventure in Bredasdorp, and a tenting journey on the facet of a cliff in Colorado, US,” according to Airbnb.

These days, Airbnb introduced Airbnb Luxe, expanding its home-sharing options to include several of the most steeply-priced accommodations globally.
