Hey, daredevil! Hoping for an action-packed summer vacation here in the US? We’ve got you. Thanks to the energetic feeling that we get from 5-hour ENERGY® shots, we’re always up for an adventure — and we’re here to power up your summer with some of our favorite thrill seeking destinations.

Sedona Safari (Sedona, Arizona)

Famous for its soaring red rock formations, blooming cacti, and new age culture, Sedona is a wonderland for the intrepid. From rewarding hikes to heart-pumping bike rides, any lover of an outdoor adventure will be glad they chose to visit this spectacular pocket of Arizona.

Don’t miss: Think a visit to the desert means you won’t see any water? Think again. The nearby Colorado River is the ideal destination for a rafting adventure!

The big adventure: Falling in love with the iconic cliffs of Sedona? Get up close and personal with an SUV tour through the Sedona Red Rock Terrain, followed by a scenic horseback ride through the rugged terrain.

Insider tip: Sedona has some of the world’s best sunrises, but to get the best view, you’ll need to do a bit of hiking. The vistas from Red Rock Crossing are worth it — but be prepared for an early wakeup call.

Vegas Verve (Las Vegas, NV)

There is so much more to Las Vegas than gambling. Whether you want to taste cuisines from around the world, take in an awe-inducing show, or explore the soaring views of the Nevada desert, there’s plenty of options for adventure in Sin City.

Don’t miss: Chances are, you can find a bigger-than-life version of your latest obsession whilst visiting Vegas. Whether that means taking a Mixed Martial Arts history tour, joining a circus trapeze lesson, cracking cases with your favorite TV detectives on the strip, or visiting a hotel themed around your favorite international city, the choice is yours.

The big adventure: While it may be a bustling city, Las Vegas is in the middle of a fascinating desert. Make the most of it by taking an adrenaline-pumping tour through the wilds of Nevada in an ATV.

Insider tip: Each hotel and casino on the Vegas strip is packed with fun activities, restaurants, stores, and unbelievable interactive experiences. To get the full Vegas experience, visit these places at night — everything will be open.

Beach Blast (Jacksonville, Florida)

Whether you choose to amble along Jacksonville’s waterways, explore its marshes and woodlands, or sleep under the stars, outdoor adventurers are sure to love Florida’s most populous city.

Don’t miss: Golf lover? Here, gorgeous golfing spots are par for the course. Don’t miss fitting some tee-time into your Jacksonville schedule.

The big adventure: Try a self-guided kayaking tour around Amelia Island. The views are breathtaking.

Insider tip: Jacksonville is famous for a vibrant fishing and seafood culture — why not try your hand at it? There are plenty of chartered fishing tours in the city that will give you the time of your life.

Hollywood Heaven (Los Angeles, California)

In Los Angeles, every day is an adventure. Whether you bump into your favorite actress at the supermarket, spend an afternoon hiking to the Hollywood Sign, or enjoy some of the country’s best beaches, you’re always in for a thrill in the City of Angels.

Don’t miss: Ever wanted to race in a sports car? Visitors to LA can actually achieve this goal in nearby Carson, at the famous race track.

The big adventure: Catch a wave! For the ultimate SoCal day, head to Malibu for surfing lessons.

Insider tip: Los Angeles is a huge city, and it’s tough to get around on foot. On a bike, however, is a different story. Try a cycling tour through the city for a unique perspective — and a way to enjoy LA’s famous weather.

Florida Frolic (Orlando, Florida)

Whether you have kids in tow or are just young at heart, any lover of magic loves Orlando. After all, it’s home to some of the biggest and best theme parks in the world!

Scream with delight from a soaring roller coaster? Immerse yourself into an otherworldly experience? It’s all available in Orlando — and the choice is yours.

Insider tips: With so many parks to see, it’s likely that you’ll want to visit more than one. That’s why it makes sense to get a ticket that allows you to visit more than one park in a day. This will allow you to pack your day full of as many attractions as you want to see.
