Start up AdventureDrop is launching what seems to be a very, very rough beta version of its wiki-based travel portal focused on providing an easy way to find adventure travel by location and activity. The site’s wiki platform allows others to edit, add and share adventures with the community.
AdventureDrop currently only features somewhat dull U.S. travel adventures. For example, if you do a search for travel in a jungle, most of the locations that appear are in the U.S., including the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area in Texas and the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River in New York. And the user rating for both of these “top jungle adventures” is four out of five stars. Also, the site doesn’t list providers for all the activities.
If AdventureDrop goes global and can hone its searches, it has the potential to be a nifty resource for those wanting to find the ultimate trip involving scuba diving, mountain climbing or a hot air balloon. And the site has a few innovative features, including allowing users to create customized itineraries, the ability to rate adventure travel spots and form groups based on a particular adventure travel activity.
No doubt, the site needs some work. But if it can expand its global reach and use the user generated concept to its advantage, it could give National Geographic’s Adventure Travel Portal a run for its money.
Looks pretty cool.
The site looks like it could have a lot of potential. If they could add some videos and expand to outside the US, I could see this site being a success.
Thanks guys. We have been working hard on this for the last 9 months. It has been quite an undertaking. We are having hundreds of adventures added every day. There are literally so many that it is a huge proect but we feel that the community needs a resource like this! Hopefully we can continue to add adventures and get the community involved to create the most robust platform out there. You would be surprised how many things there are to do in your own backyard!
We have a long way to go, but we also think that when we populate the adventure tour providers (and they populate themselves for free) it can be the go to resource for all your outdoor activities, whether you are on your own or using tour providers.
We are constantly making changes and there are still some bugs but we hope to create a great project for the outdoor community here!

The content is not very impressive so far, but I like the design. I think I will visit again in a couple of months.
this is like trailguru except without any content whatsoever.
I really don’t see the point.
This site looks wonderful and very, very promise.
The actual contents is perfectly OK because this is a “Beta in USA” as showed at top (have you seen that before writing your post?!?)
I’m not affiliate with this site and even don’t care about it. But I hate partial reviews like this. Is your review which needs some work.
Visually quite stunning.
It looks cool but I am not so sure about concept itself.
It’s ok, but pretty slow. Found another cool site a bit like it called http://www.beouthere.com
Needs the ability to add pictures and videos to reviews but otherwise it’s pretty cool.
Looks really good I’d say. I would def use it
