2. Embark on an Arctic Cruise with Quark Expeditions
The rugged, remote Arctic remains one of the most unexplored domains on the planet. This ice-laden region encompasses the Canadian High Arctic; Greenland; the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, which includes Spitsbergen; Russia; and at the very top of the planet, of course, the North Pole. It’s inhabited by polar bears, muskoxen, arctic foxes, beluga whales, reindeer, seals, walruses, and migratory birds, among other wildlife species.
3. Milford Ultimate Heli Tour with Robertson Lodges, New Zealand
Relaxed and unhurried, this remarkable tour takes off from Queenstown and flies over high-country peaks before venturing into the World Heritage-listed Fiordland National Park, a wonderland filled with towering mountains, waterfalls, and native rain forest. Take in the majestic Milford Sound; stroll along the wildly beautiful, uninhabited West Coast beaches, see the blue ice glaciers high in the Alps and discover the fiords’ coastal rain forests. As you touch down at each of the four landing sites, the helicopter will shut down so you can enjoy the eerie quiet of the mountains.
4. Have an Authentically Berber Experience at
Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco
Immerse yourself in a true cultural experience at Kasbah Tamadot and enjoy a 1 hour Mule Trek, tea in a local Berber House, a visit to the Eve Branson Foundation, a 1 hour Berber cooking lesson as well as Berber bread baking. Located in the foothills of Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, Kasbah Tamadot offers a true cultural immersion from the moment you arrive with the Authentically Berber Experience.
5. Mokoro Canoe Safari at Belmond Eagle Island Lodge, Botswana
Belmond Eagle Island Lodge brings timeless luxury to the Botswana wetlands. High-ceilinged tented rooms flood with light; each has a plunge pool and oversized bed with views of the Delta. Glide silently on a traditional dugout canoe, a mode of transport used by locals for centuries. Explore the shallow, clear waters, drifting past brilliant water lilies and papyrus grasses, reaching areas inaccessible by boat. Witness brightly colored frogs, kingfishers, dragonflies, or elephants feasting on the reeds.
6. UV Night Snorkelling at COMO Maalifushi, Maldives
COMO Maalifushi is the first and only resort to open on the unspoiled Thaa Atoll, in the archipelago’s southern reaches well regarded for its diving and surf breaks. Its culturally appropriate architecture includes low-lying garden and overwater villas, with views of white beach, tropical greenery, and cobalt lagoon. Join us for a colorful underwater show as we reveal a hidden side to COMO Maalifushi’s house reef. Using special torches and lenses for your mask, you’ll discover the many hues of fluorescent pink, green, yellow, and purple that some corals and reef animals emit at night.
