Dine inside a volcano
Thought we were kidding? Check this out. This is the kind of tour you don’t really need to be an avid adventurer to participate in.
The tour begins with a private helicopter ride to the Thrihnukagigur Volcano in Iceland, which has been dormant for quite some time now. After that, it’s time to put your safety helmet on because you’re about to step onto a cable lift and descend into a 4000-year-old ancient magma chamber. And the thrilling part? The descent lasts a total of 6 minutes.
Your private tour can be customized to your liking and is even suitable for children no younger than 8 years old.
Cruise the Brazilian Amazon

Some research suggests that the color green has a calming effect on humans because it doesn’t overstimulate our eyes. And what better way to enjoy greenery than to see it first-hand from the powerful Rio Negro river?
This isn’t the Percy Fawcett type of adventure. Instead, you’ll enjoy the comfort and luxuries of a private super yacht featuring its own expert crew and a chef.
Is that it? Of course not! You’re free to set your own course every day, and the crew is there to abide by your rules and show you the corners of Rio Negro many have never seen before.
Stargaze in Africa
Would you believe us if we told you that some people have never seen a starry sky? It might seem impossible, but this is no surprise due to the high population and light pollution levels. They’re the main reason why you can’t really see stars from your favorite city.
If you’re one of those people or simply wish to gaze upon the stars in the best way possible, here’s a luxury experience you have to try in your lifetime.
Stargazing in Namibia is possible because of low population density and almost no light pollution. Seeing so many stars with a naked eye can surely be considered pampering for the soul.
Sleep in an ice cave
We’re now moving from hot Africa to temperatures below-freezing points in wintery Sweden. And if you’ve ever wondered how the Inuit do it, here’s the perfect opportunity to find out. If you’re still not sure what we’re talking about - get ready to book your stay in a luxury igloo.
You’ve read that correctly - these ice caves are rebuilt every winter from snow and ice and look a lot more extravagant than you’d imagine. Why? Think of this unique experience as sleeping in an art museum - amongst beautiful ice sculptures.
The Ice Hotel recommends booking only one night in one of their cold rooms, and don’t worry about keeping warm - they provide you with luxurious reindeer-hide throws.

The experience of going on an African safari is beyond our wildest dreams, and we’re about to take it to a whole new level. But this type of deluxe travel isn’t for the faint of heart. Why? Here’s what it entails.
Every year, thousands of animals start a great migration across the plains of Africa while trying to evade all kinds of predators. This event is so large-scale many cannot even fathom it… until they see it from a hot-air balloon.
Just envision it - you and your friends up in the air, sipping a glass of champagne, the sun is just coming up, and you’re watching something so significant unfold. This is definitely a luxury experience of a lifetime.
Surrender to the thrill of adventure!
