Experiences.co.uk has a wide range of thrill-seeking packages that need no previous experience which it highly recommends that provide action and adventure in abundance, such as abseiling and the chance to whizz down a zip wire.
For many, these experiences are a great way to have a fun time with family and friends, for others it's the chance to try something new, while for some it is the opportunity to test their nerves.
What are the best group activities for thrill-seekers?
There's nothing quite like sharing a memorable experience with others, especially when excitement levels are reaching fever pitch.
Abseiling is a great way to build that sense of camaraderie. Standing at the top of a cliff, ready to take your first step over the edge, is sure to get the adrenaline going!
However, with the encouragement of your fellow abseilers, and guidance from the professionals, then nothing is impossible, even without any previous experience.
It's a similar situation with a zip wire experience, with the sense of excitement and anticipation before the event just as rewarding as the actual sensation of flying down the zip wire at what seems like an incredible speed.
Exciting experiences that test target skills
Exhilarating experiences can also include an element of skill, such as target practice by throwing an axe!
Or perhaps archery is the thrill-seeking experience for you, providing the chance to learn how to handle a bow, perfect your stance, before unleashing the arrow, all in a safe environment with expert instructors.
Other experiences which test hand eye coordination includes clay pigeon shooting, again ideal for first timers. With a bit of practice, it will be no time before you're hitting the first clay, a very satisfying sensation.
Which driving experiences provide a high level of excitement without any previous experience?
A drifting experience is one of the most thrilling ways to spend time in a car, even if you've never done it before.
For those who don't know what drifting is, it's the art of controlled sideways driving, when looking out of the side window to see where you are going is as common as looking out of the windscreen.
Techniques learnt include throttle control and steering input, with possibility of performing doughnuts and figures of 8.
Bungee jumping is ideal for novices
When it comes to experiences which provide a natural high (quite literally) for absolute beginners, then it's hard to beat bungee jumping.
All it takes is a bit of courage, some words of support and soon the cord will be extending beneath you before sending you flying through the air.
The sky's the limit for beginner-friendly thrill-seeking experiences
We've possibly saved the best to last as, surely, a parachute jump is the ultimate activity for someone who's never tried it before.
Excitement levels rise as quickly as the airplane, with the seconds counting down to action stations. Then it's time to jump strapped to the instructor, and nerves immediately disappear to be replaced with a sense of achievement and serenity as you float gently back to earth with amazing views.
