CHASING AURORAS ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

This one’s pretty much on every bucket list and for good reason. It’s one of the most spectacular natural wonders of our planet. There are many ways to see the northern lights. For some of us it’s about staying in town and going out by car. For others it’s taking a boat tour or a walking tour. For us, it’s about staying in picturesque cabins, dog sledding underneath a canopy of green lights, snow shoeing to remote places, making a bonfire on the beach and living an experience of a lifetime.

SNOW & ICE IN GEORGIA

Ice climbing? Soft adventure? Can those two even be in the same sentence? The answer is most definitely yes. Our trip to Georgia is about trying different things out for the first time. For those of us who’d like to push a level up, we can certainly do that. But for the majority of us, this trip will be about an epic adventure in the remote Caucasus, phenomenal Georgian food, beautiful views, a super comfortable hotel to go back to every evening and yes, trying out ice climbing, skiing and winter trekking for the very first time.

“We’ve combined horse riding, Bhutanese archery, yoga during the Nepal portion of our trip, hotels that look like temples themselves, and even a hot stone bath to give us a full emersion into this unique Himalayan experience.”

BHUTAN, THE LAST SHANGRI-LA

This one is an adventure for the mind, body and soul. Think of it as combining beautiful walks with spectacular Buddhist temples and culture in one of the most remote, pristine and unexplored regions of the planet. Our trip isn’t just about trekking. We’ve combined horse riding, Bhutanese archery, yoga during the Nepal portion of our trip, hotels that look like temples themselves, and even a hot stone bath to give us a full emersion into this unique Himalayan experience.

VOLCANOES & WATERFALLS IN INDONESIA

Slightly more physically demanding compared to our other soft adventures, this trip is about getting a feel for camping but is combined with hotels to balance the comfort. We’ll be trekking to the top of spectacular stratovolcanoes and exploring the waterfalls and lakes at their base for one of our most exciting soft adventures on the bucket list.
