Let us help you discover and plan the most surreal adventures and take off on a bucket list experience. Here are 6 of the most luxurious ones to be had, across the world.
A Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise in Turkey
Turkey’s central region of Cappadocia is home to unique rock spires, caves and valleys formed by volcanic activity and erosion over millions of years. As it’s so unique, the region has become the most famous in the world for hot air balloon rides to see such distinct land from overhead.
Most balloon rides take off at dawn to make the views even more spectacular as the volcanic lands are lit up by sunrise. Dozens of balloons take off at once so the sunlight is met by the various colours of each one which also adds to the euphoric views.
Add the cherry on top by booking a private ride. Making the experience more intimate is the perfect way to celebrate special occasions like honeymoons or even proposals. Opt for a longer flight time during this even more premium service and enjoy the relaxed pace before disembarking to a private champagne breakfast. If you’re staying in another area, even add on a private helicopter transfer to Cappadocia before the sun rises and add another thrilling element to the morning.
Go on Safari in Tanzania
Nature enthusiasts look no further than a luxurious safari adventure! The East African nation of Tanzania hosts some of the most exclusive safari landscapes in the world, with nearly a third of the country protected for game viewing. See the delicate landscapes, home to some of the most iconic wildlife from lions to elephants and endangered rhinos, and experience the adrenaline thrill of private game drives.
Embrace the chance to see the Great Migration which sees millions of zebra and wildebeest species transport across the Serengeti landscape in search of better vegetation and grazing. With such an incredible safari in Tanzania, take guided tours across various landscapes to see the most delicate lands and animals in their natural habitats.
Stay in the Heart of the Wilderness in South Africa
Book a restful stay at a Cheetah Plains Lodge for a more sustainable way to tick off a luxury bucket list experience. With room for up to 24 guests, either connect with new travellers or rent out the full property for a whole family or company stay. Located in the heart of South Africa’s Sabi Sand wilderness, it’s sure to be one of the most unique and world-class safari stays. Secluded with only 3 fully solar-powered villa properties, expect your only neighbours to be lions and buffalos!
A lodge experience here comes with a dedicated private hospitality team, including a group of world-class chefs and a private bartender and sommelier. Indulge in the most extravagant meals from breakfast to dinner time and enjoy personal pampering from the spa therapist always on hand. The lodge interiors are grand and luxurious. Spend evenings in the entertainment lounge or relax outside in the private pool with a glass of wine.
Swim with Dolphins in Roatan
Off the Coast of Honduras, the Caribbean Island of Roatan is home to some of the world’s marine-rich waters on Earth. The world-class destination for scuba diving and snorkelling activities is equally a supreme spot for swimming with some of the most loved sealife, dolphins.
Rather than tank swimming with the mammals, embrace the luxury of swimming with dolphins in their natural habitats. The charismatic animals are friendly enough to engage with humans in the ocean, so get prepared to make a connection you never expected. Enjoy a surreal day at the beach before enjoying the array of other best things to do in Roatan, for the most luxury bucket list getaway.
Take Off on Helicopter Ride over the Skies of America
The globally renowned cityscape of America’s New York is top of many city-lovers’ bucket lists just for a visit. So imagine a helicopter ride over the city skyline for the most unforgettable way to see it.
Gain unique views over some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty to Brooklyn Bridge. Fly over the neon lights of Times Square and feel like you’re watching a movie of the busy livelihoods below! For the most luxurious way to embrace the birds-eye view, enjoy taking off as the sun sets and the orange glow blends into the city. As dusk falls, watch as night emerges and buildings illuminate across ‘the city that never sleeps’.
Seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland
Chase the world-class Aurora Borealis in the country dubbed as one of the best places in the world to do so. Stay in Reyjavik and embrace the luxury of Icelandic life before spending evenings heading out to the most secluded spots for the greatest chance of sightings.
The green purple and blue blend of the Northern Lights over the night sky is a natural phenomenon at the top of many bucket lists. Enjoy exclusive tours led by experts in the winter or go highly luxurious and board a helicopter to embrace a bird’s eye view of them that only a handful of people will get to experience. Enjoy a tour that includes a professional photographer to teach you the best techniques to get the perfect shot of the spectacle to help never forget the incredible experience.
