USA Today's 10BEST recently analyzed this subject, highlighting the best excursions throughout the country. In the category of aerial adventure tours, two Florida zipline excursions were recognized among the best. One is in Bradenton.

For some people, a vacation does not mean lounging on a chair with a drink all day (although that does sound great). Many travelers are also seeking a thrill or outdoor adventure tour to navigate and take in their destination in a way that is both unique and provides some exercise.

Regardless of the type of adventure tour one decides to pursue, each of them has a few characteristics in common. The most obvious is that it allows the guest to see the outdoor environment of this area or region from a different perspective. That means literally being in the middle of the given environment or sometimes soaring above it and taking it in from a bird's eye view.

A tour guide generally has a deep knowledge of the local area and its history. He or she may point out a simple tree, for example, that you may not have noticed. Perhaps the tree represents that native land or was planted 500 years ago. Tour guides are also great resources for learning about additional area highlights like restaurants.

Lastly, participating in an adventure tour does not mean giving up time to rest and relax. Many of these take up the bulk of a day, but you can certainly build around it to ensure you get the full vacation experience.

The Florida Zipline Excursion Tours You Need To Know About

Ranking 6th was Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures if you are interested in taking a trip to the eastern part of the state. It's specifically named aerial "adventures" because although the zipline course is a main attraction, they also have a rope course and obstacle courses.

The options are broken out into seven-course layouts. They are color-coded like a ski mountain in beginner, intermediate, and advanced options.

Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures is located at 6419 N Atlantic Ave, in Cape Canaveral.

Ranking 9th on USA Today's list was TreeUmph! Adventure Course in Bradenton. They, too, offer adventure courses and tightropes in addition to zipline tours.

"The main course is outfitted with challenging setups for older patrons, while the curated Ape Up Course is available for guests aged 5 to 8 for a safe introduction to the world of aerial adventure," 10BEST explains.

TreeUmph! is located at 21805 East State Rd 70 in Bradenton.
