#1 TEEPEE WILDERNESS CAMPING IN LAPLAND
The wilderness of remote Lapland is best experienced when immersed with nature under canvas in a luxury, heated Teepee tent. This exclusive camp is set up on request for each group that visits and is kitted out with full-sized beds dressed in crisp bed linen and with a private chef on hand who will cook up gourmet meals based on fresh Lappish produce.
Though the camp can be set up at any point during the year, the winter period allows for unforgettable activities for travellers coming from the topics like husky sledding and snowmobiling. The winter is also the perfect time to spot the Northern lights in all their glory – far removed from the pollution of artificial lights.
#2 SNORKELLING BETWEEN TECTONIC PLATES
During the summer months, Iceland boasts 24 hours of daylight, providing the opportunity to snorkel or dive at one of the country’s best-kept secrets under the light of the midnight sun. Regarded as one of the top dive sites in the world, this truly unique experience gives divers the chance to float between continents - it’s where the North American and Eurasian plates meet – with visbility that can extend up to 100 metres.
#3 24 HOURS IN ANTARCTICA FROM CAPE TOWN
Luxury hotel, Ellerman House, is now offering the “Greatest Day” experience, where adventuorous guests can opt to enjoy a 24-hour round trip to the icy white desert of Antarctica. The private jet is boarded in the evening before an overnight flight to to Antarctica for activities that can range from gentle to adrenaline-fuelled. The day of exploring the rolling white desert and ice glaciers will end with a three-course dinner before boarding the plane for the relaxing flight back to Cape Town.
#4 TASTING YOUR WAY AROUND SPAIN BY PRIVATE JET
Food aficionados can experience new levels of luxury flying on their own private jet while enjoing the best of the traditional tapas, delicious local fare and Michelin-starred delights of Spain. Starting in San Sebastián to explore the wonders of Basque cuisine, from “pintxos” with the locals to avant-garde Michelin-starred gastronomy, the journey then continues on to Seville to enjoy the city’s spectactular tapas and lively bars, before crossing the Balearic sea for Mallorca.
The last few days in Mallorca are spent indulging in organic dishes at the island’s best farm-to-table restaurants while enjoying the flavours of rural Spain.
#5 ANGKOR THOM SCAVENGER HUNT BY BICYCLE
A Scott Dunn exclusive, this experience is a one-of-a-kind, entertaining way to explore the iconic Angkor Thom, one of the most impressive temple cities within the Angkor Archaeological Park. Curious guests can travel between the ruins by bicycle or scamper across the temples on foot to discover 11 clues across the site – and there is of course a prize at the end for those who manage to find all of them! Photos will need to be shown as evidence of the clues being found, so it’s a great way to build on the travel library with some more unusual snaps. The experience is perfect for families of all ages as well as for fun-loving couples looking for something a bit different.
