We have personally selected extraordinary local experiences in nature. From authentic cultural experiences, wildlife encounters, meetings with the locals, kayaking, wine tours, cycling and sailing trips, sightseeing flights and more. Our focus is on nature conservation and small-scale locally owned companies.
Dive into an adventurous holiday with your best friends. What more could you ask for? Take a scenic flight over golden valleys, turquoise lakes and mountains. Or surf the dunes of Ninety Mile Beach. We have found the best of the best when it comes to thrill-seeking.
