7 travel experiences to put the ‘wow’ factor into 2019
Go out on a limb living with eagle hunters in Mongolia, flying by microlight over Victoria Falls or riding with gauchos in Patagonia
Take a submarine ride around the Maldives
Don’t like getting your hair wet? Explore the underwater world of Baa Atoll in the Maldives in the new three-seater submarine at the Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru. This Bond-style vessel will take you 37 metres below the surface so you can explore the Unesco Biosphere Reserve and see coral reefs, turtles, sharks and dolphins without taking your clothes off.
You can always dive into your own pool when you return.
Live with eagle hunters in Mongolia
Experience an authentic slice of life with a trip to western Mongolia where you can keep it real by living with the eagle hunters. Join a local family and stay with them in their traditional ‘ger’ as they prepare for the annual eagle hunting festival. If you travel in October, you’ll also get to ride 60km together on horseback across the plains to the festival site to watch them compete in their annual competition.
Drive a Porsche on ice in Lapland
Swap tarmac for ice in one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Each winter the Porsche team in Iceland carve out 13 tracks in the snow for guests to drive purpose-built cars up to 125mph through Santa’s playground. Four of the tracks are full-sized replicas of some of the world’s most famous circuits – Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi, Paul Ricard in France, Nurburgring in Germany and Silverstone in England.
