For those looking for adventure, the world has it in abundance. How do you seek these life changing adventures and become closer to the earth at the same time? The best way to experience the world is through the four elements of water, earth, air and fire.
WATER
Charter The Sailing Yacht Moonbeam IV, Mediterranean Sea
Imagine sailing the Mediterranean Sea on the same historic yacht that not only won races, but carried Grace Kelly and HSH Prince Rainier of Morocco on their honeymoon. Built by Scottish shipwrights William Fife & Son from 1914 to 1920, the yacht has a remarkable racing history.
Feel the invigorating sea breezes while chartering the Moonbeam IV with a crew and six friends for a week of watery adventure. Enjoy the bespoke welcome hamper, as well as the antique lamps, Persian rugs, and formal dining tables. Relax on the custom sofas and in the fabulous cabins or suntan on the glorious deck spaces as you sail around the western Mediterranean.
This experience is unique to TRULY guests.
EARTH
Cliff Camping In The Rocky Mountains, Colorado
Feel the mighty power of the earth as you and a guest experience camping on a cliff wall in the Rocky Mountains. Prepare to be awed by the aspen trees, forested valleys, tundra views and glassy lakes. Here, you will find some of the highest mountains in the USA.
Learn a variety of basic climbing techniques, including rappelling, harnesses, knots and how to ascend on a rope. With a guide, put your new skills to the test during a one-night private cliff camping experience in a portaledge. You will set up camp 160 feet above the valley, and will even have a chance to try rock climbing. If you are ready to relax after, you will be staying one night in Estes Park where there is a spa.
Air
Paragliding and River Adventure at Lake Bled, Slovenia
Experience the element of air in this place of diverse landscapes and cultures, where nature preservation is paramount. You will see an abundance of nature and shades of green, broken only by the peaks of the Julian Alps.
Immerse yourself and a friend in adventure with one day of swimming, white water rafting and hiking in and around the Emerald River. The next day take flight and soar during a 35-minute para-glide from Mount Vogel with an experienced pilot. The views of the land are breathtaking. Enjoy the 5-star hotel and all it has to offer for two nights.
Visit the place where the Chronicles of Narnia was filmed, and see Bled Castle. This outdoor experience is unique to TRULY guests.
FIRE
Volcanic Adventure, Stromboli
For those who wish to see the fiery soul of the earth, visit the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.” The northern and most volatile Aeolian island of Stromboli has the only regularly erupting volcano. It has been erupting for the past 2000 years. Be ready for a physically challenging adventure.
On this island, experience three nights in safe lodgings in charming, yet luxurious settings between two solidified lava flows near the Tyrrhenian Sea. View the vibrant explosions of lava and feel the rumblings of magma during a guided nighttime hike. You and a friend will have a chance to see Mount Etna, the highest volcano crater during a helicopter flight, where you can speak with the pilot and hear interesting facts about the area.
Once again, this is an experience unique to TRULY guests.
So go for it, and grab your boots and pack. Experience the world through the four elements and get one step closer to nature.
