Exclusive Access to the Royal Swedish Opera

Stockholm, Sweden

Since its first curtain call in 1773, the Royal Swedish Opera has taken centre stage in the world of arts. It was even immortalised in an opera by Giuseppe Verdi about the tragic assignation of King Gustav III whilst attending his masquerade ball 1782.

Your docent will guide you on an after-hours exploration through the classical building of red velvet, painted ceilings and a grand staircase that leads to the four-tiered auditorium that’s gloriously crowned with chandelier weighing two tonnes. Go behind-the-scenes into the royal apartments, the costume department, a blacksmith’s shop, and insights into props and the Prompter.

A mindful walk in the woods

The ultimate exploration is to experience a new destination in its purest and most natural form. So, with a nod to the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”, we have prepared a collection of experiences designed to enhance your health with intimate connections to the natural world.

From the most far-flung forests to misty mountains to peaceful flower-filled fields, our eco-therapy experiences promise to support every aspect of your well-being.

The sky is the limit

Our private helicopter experiences let you feel like James Bond on a secret mission to swoop low over vast sand dunes, hover over jagged mountain peaks, set down on glaciers, backcountry bike trails and ski slopes, or amid the most romantic vistas.

When only a helicopter can get you where you wish to go, we can help you take to the air for moments that are especially spectacular no matter how logistically remote. The only pre-requisite is having a dream that you wished to be fulfilled.

Lochs, highlands, and epic history to match

Scotland, United Kingdom

Scotland is a destination of epic proportions. Green glens and rugged coastlines dotted with charming villages where a millennium of fascinating history and traditions are still relevant in a modern world. Helicopters whisk us to remote mountain ridges crowned with rarely seen lochs and staggering vertical drops.

Astronomers take us into the “darkest” dark sky park in the UK to study an infinite number of blazing stars. 900 years of tradition call us to a Highland “gathering and games”. And hikes into national parks lead us to picturesque reindeer herds. With accommodations in opulent castles and sumptuous dining experiences, this experience will introduce you to a side of Scotland that even the locals have never come across.

Polar Ice Cap, musk ox, and luxury camping

Greenland

No matter how well-travelled you are, it’s difficult to wrap your mind around the experience of camping on the world’s largest polar ice cap, where vibrant blue ice colours are surreal. Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Greenland’s hinterland.

Two-thirds of Greenland lies above the Arctic Circle and for five glorious days you will too. Under 24 hours of sunlight, we ice climb on glaciers, hop in helicopters to view vast vistas of white at the edge of the ice cap, climb into snow trucks in search of herds of shaggy musk ox grazing on the tundra, and camp outside a remote radar station in off-grid, eco-luxury lodging tents that are environmentally light-on-the-ice yet wonderfully warm and welcoming. Immense landscapes experienced in the most intimate terms.

The Pillars of Seville: Flamenco and tapas

Seville, Spain

From the first strum of the guitar and dramatic step of a foot, you are captivated. The Andalusian flamenco dance is poetry in motion; a passionate choreography of music, dance and song that is immortalised in Spain’s cultural identity. The stage is set across the threshold of a graceful Andalusian hacienda that is lovingly converted into a multi-storied museum dedicated to flamenco and tapas. This distinctive experience lets you personally delve into how women combine graceful turns with dramatic steps. How guitarists perform with lightning-fast finger-rolls. How castanets are a complicated synchronisation of beats. And how much importance is placed on the wardrobe with a visit to the world’s premier designer of dresses that is considered the Christian Dior of Flamenco. The grand crescendo is a tantalising professional performance served with tapas, wine and passion. Salud!

The private world of the Pope’s summer retreat

Rome, Italy

Enter the private domain of the Pope’s Apartment and enjoy exclusive access to ruins of a Roman Theatre and working Farmhouse, areas usually not available to the public but made possible with Explora Journeys.

An ode to olives, mamas & tapas

Málaga, Spain

Sip, savour and soak-up Andalusia, the best destination for olive oil, local wine, community and comfort. Flower-line rural roads lead us to the romantically white-washed villages with old stone churches, centuries old olive groves, and charming homes where you are invited to step inside and help grandmothers, abuelas, and mamas prepare tapas in the kitchen.

The conversation and laughter mix with the wine and a myriad of locally harvested almonds, pomegranates, and vegetables. Rustic and soulfully rewarding, a day in the Málaga countryside, surrounded by a crown of mountains, will make you feel whole again.

Soul-stirring experiences that touch the impossible, from the thrill of supersonic speed to the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches.

There is something within all of us that seeks to touch the impossible; to reach out and fulfil a transcendent need that resonates deep within our being.

Our Beyond Boundaries experiences answer that call where opportunities into the unchartered promise profound and personal enrichment.

Whether you seek the thrill of supersonic speed, the silence of polar mountain peaks, the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches, the sense of awe from meeting world-leading intellects and artisans, these experiences are more than one-off wonderments, they are soul-stirring achievements that will forever influence your perspective of the world and your role within it.

The only remaining question is how far do you dare to go to close the distance between your dreams and reality?

Dive into the wild side of Ibiza!

Ibiza, Spain

Jumping off cliffs from 1 meter and up to 10 meters high will be an extreme experience that forces you to face your fears.

Adrenaline pumping in profusion, propels that glorifying moment when your feet leave the earth, followed by the exhilaration of splashing into crystal blue waters.

The thrill of the moment matched only by the beautiful scenery: sun-kissed limestone cliffs, rugged parched coastline, the sounds of laughter and pure joy. So, what are you waiting for? This is an experience you can jump into, feet first!

Flying the ultimate jet warbird

Riga, Latvia

Strap yourself into one of most popular jet warbirds ever designed, the sleek and stealth L-39. Start the engine -- and some noise. Taxi. Throttle. Thrust. Your pilot pushes your jet to its limits. Pulling Gs. Piercing clouds. Now you take the stick and dip your wings with the altitude indicator. It’s a white-knuckle ride that will push your limits, both physically and mentally.

Photos and your personal certificate of accomplishment prove your daring to friends.
