TOP ADVENTURES

Top adventures

Experiences are what make a vacation. Looking back on your most cherished memories, what springs to mind fi rst — an opulent hotel with all the bells and whistles? Or a life-a ffi rming adventure, a profound experience, or a trip that pushes you way out of your comfort zone and truly challenges you? Of course, having a cushy place to rest your weary head at the end of the day is always welcome, but it’s the stu ff in between that makes up the fabric of our most treasured times. This year, our top adventures all have the underpinning of responsible luxury — be it a donation included in the price or an immersion in a local community. And, in some cases, assisting the scienti fi c community with a record-breaking excursion.
