Now if you want to free dive with sharks….


yeah, from OP's list, hiking with mountain gorillas is a rich retiree vacation idea too--not that difficult. but there are plenty of tougher hikes/climbs out there. hiking a live volcano seems bizarre to me.


It’s not bizarre— it’s fun and worth it to see the lava and be close to it.

If the OP is PADI certified, plenty of interesting dives with tough currents and gorgeous sea creatures out there (ex: Komodo in Indonesia Sipadan in Malaysia).

What's the point of trying for the wildest? Why not the most fun or most scenic or closest encounters with wildlife?

Mt Roraima may be a bit more accessible and but similarly unique.
