Navigation
Getting around at PlanetRider is easy. At the top of the screen, you'll see a navigation bar with a variety of choices: Destinations, Landscapes, Activities, Reservations, The Travel Store, Business Travel, Search, and Help. You should explore all the choices to learn about the information behind each of the buttons.

If you know what city or country you want information about, click on the Destinations button above. Then, choose a specific region or topic (Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Caribbean, Cruises, Europe, North and Central America, South America) from the drop-down list of destinations.

Or, try Landscapes, a unique and exciting PlanetRider feature serving up the best in outdoor and adventure travel-related links.

You'll also find the button Activities. If you don't know where you want to go, but you know that you may want to go scuba diving, or fishing, or sailing, then this button provides you another entry point for PlanetRider's deep selection of information.

 

Activities    [Return to Top]
Upon arriving at your destination, you next choose an activity, or category, from a links box. At PlanetRider, you'll notice that you're offered a wide range of information on a rich array of subjects, from Adventure to Lodging to Nightlife to Sports.

After selecting an activity, in many cases you'll notice that you're then given an option of another topic. This helps to narrow your search even further by putting you closer to the exact information you're seeking. One more click and PlanetRider immediately delivers a finely tuned list of Web sites with their direct links.

 

Rating and Review System    [Return to Top]
Once you've made your destination and activity choices, you'll notice a feature of PlanetRider: our rating and review system of Web sites. At PlanetRider, we've designed a simple system based on a one, two, or three-balloon rating:

Every site is rated by the PlanetRider team of editors on two criteria:

1)Information: the quality, integrity, and completeness of information on the site. How good is the information?

Red Balloons are for Information.

2)Ease-of-Use: the organization, presentation, and design of a site. How easy is the site to navigate and find what you're after?

Yellow balloons are for Ease-of-Use.

Each rated site is also accompanied by a brief commentary. This highly opinionated, mini-review will help you quickly choose the sites you want to see first.

And all this with just a few clicks, and delivered in only a matter of seconds! Try it, and you'll see how quick and simple it is to use PlanetRider.
