Mile-Long Shot Adventure

Some of the best sharpshooters to ever live have never hit a half-mile shot. Now you have a chance to hit the target from a full mile away with Jackson Hole Shooting Experience's "Nomad Rifleman" experience. Working with world-class long-range shooters, the class has a 98 percent success rate and takes place on a ranch near Jackson, Wyoming. It takes a full day, during which you'll spend time at the sheltered shooting platform, moving from smaller caliber guns and closer targets out and up to your ultimate goal. At a sea level of over 7,000 feet, the air has less effect on the bullet than at lower elevations, making it that much easier to join a "One Mile Club" that includes well under 10,000 members. Should you succeed, you'll get a "Proof of Hit" commemorating your achievement.

Blancaneaux Lodge

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola knows a great location when he sees one, and he instantly fell in love with the Belizean setting of Blancaneaux Lodge. Purchased and used as a personal retreat, he's now opened it to the public. Scattered across the site are twenty discreet thatched roof dwellings, set along a river where waterfalls tumble into swimming holes above the jungle canopy. Each of the cabañas, villas, and cottages offer access to the natural waters, fresh water infinity pool, the relaxing Jaguar Bar, and the Montagna and Guatemaltecqua restaurants serving traditional Italian and locally-inspired fare, respectively. While the lodge's setting is certainly dramatic, equally so are the nearby ancient Mayan Ruins, which you can explore during your stay with the help of Coppola's team of expert adventure guides.

Mammoth Dunes Golf Course

The second 18-hole layout at Wisconsin's Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes might be the best new course of 2018. It was conceived by Scottish architect David McLay Kidd — best known for his groundbreaking work at Bandon Dunes — and takes full advantage of its unique setting. Occupying 500 acres, it does an excellent job balancing challenge with enjoyment, thanks to an imaginative design that incorporates touches like a boomerang green, massive rolling fairways, and even a bunker built around the foundation of a settlement home from the early 1900s.

Fenway Park Batting Practice Experience

Home to the Boston Red Sox since 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest park left in Major League Baseball and is one of the most well-known sports venues in the world. For the first time ever, the franchise is offering a hospitality experience where groups of 20 can watch pre-game batting practice from an exclusive section inside the center-field warning track, snagging balls while the Sox take their swings at the iconic Green Monster. Fans also get tickets to watch the game from the first and second rows of the left-field pavilion, in-game private concessions, and commemorative baseball gloves to take home.

Four Seasons World of Adventures Trip

Building on the success of their inaugural Around the World Tour, the Four Seasons is firing up their custom Boeing 757 for a 24-day adventure. Taking off from Seattle, the highly-limited tour touches down for a history lesson in Kyoto, Japan, and includes relaxing, informative, and/or invigorating stops in Seychelles, Rwanda, Marrakech, Bogota, the Galapagos Islands, and a final stop in Miami. Ground-based accommodations will be fittingly luxurious, while the unparalleled in-flight experience includes Italian leather flat-bed seats, an onboard chef, and concierge. The adventure begins on October 23, 2019.

Axiom Space Station

The privately funded followup to the ISS, Axiom Space Station will aim to make working in space more commonplace. The Philippe Starck-designed interior includes nest-like cabins with Earth-facing windows, plenty of research areas, and the largest window observatory ever constructed for space. It's expected to be up and running by the time the ISS is retired in 2024, and unlike the ISS, you'll be able to book 7-10 day trips to the Axiom once it's completed.

The Macallan Distillery

The Macallan has been making Scotch whisky on the same Easter Elchies estate since 1824. Its new distillery won't change that, but it's a far cry from its humble beginnings. Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the $186 million facility is incredibly high-tech, with a green roof, energy needs that are met by 95% sustainable sources, and the most complicated timber roof structure in the world, with more than 380,000 elements. The new stills, the largest copper order ever for the industry, are perfect replicas of the originals, making it impossible to discern whether a whisky was distilled at the new facility or the old. Should you visit, you'll certainly have the chance to try: the bar will stock a staggering 952 different expressions, and even the standard tour includes four drams to sample.

Seamlessly Australia Private Jet Tour

Board a Falcon 900 and explore the Land Down Under like never before with the Seamlessly Australia Private Jet Tour. For 21 days, 8 guests will touchdown on the country's most remote locations. Each stop will offer a mix of luxurious accommodations and exotic experiences curated by the travel experts at Touring Treasures. One minute you'll be sipping champagne on a 122-foot yacht in the Sydney Harbour and the next you're face-to-face with a Tasmanian devil.

Every detail has already been meticulously thought out for you so the only thing you have to worry about is what to pack.

White Desert Antarctic Adventures

A trip to the bottom of the world requires a bit more planning than simply buying a ticket and packing a bag. Cape Town-based White Desert Antarctic Adventures can help. Their itineraries — all of which include the world's only private jet service to the continent — range from a single day trip to Wolfs Fang peak to an eight-day excursion that features stops at an Emperor Penguin colony and the geographic South Pole. All multi-day trips take advantage of the company's sustainable Whichaway Camp, a collection of dome-shaped structures that combine high-tech materials with old-world luxury.

Night At Blue Planet II

No, you can't really spend the night at a TV show. Instead, this special Airbnb listing will give one lucky winner and their guest a chance to spend three days and two nights aboard the Alucia, the oceanic research and exploration vessel used in the filming of Blue Planet II. You'll be joining an active research trip in the Bahamas, during which you'll get the chance to explore the deep in one of the ship's two submarines. You'll eat your meals with the crew, get the chance to observe their work, and perhaps gain a new appreciation for the ocean.

Ice Q Mountain Restaurant

Set atop a 3,000 meter-high peak in Sölden, the Ice Q Mountain Restaurant is perhaps the world's most famous eatery not known for its food. Instead, its claim to fame came as a filming location for the James Bond film Spectre, in which it served as a futuristic hospital. Unlike in the film, it's an ideal place to enjoy a martini or a full meal in the gourmet restaurant, lined with walls of glass so as to not spoil the views of the surrounding Ötztal Alps.

Pacific Overlander Expedition Vehicles

California is littered with outdoor areas worth exploring. Pacific Overlander Expedition Vehicles make doing so highly convenient. Their fleet includes Tacomas, 4Runners, and Defenders outfitted with rooftop tents and full-sized GM trucks with bed-mounted campers. No matter which you choose, you'll be provided with all the gear you need, including a cooler or fridge, cooking equipment, and camping tables and chairs. Based in San Francisco, there are many DIY adventures to be had within their base 150 mile-per-day radius, but if you're looking for something more specific, they offer itineraries personalized to your preferences.

Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht

Most ships are dedicated to either luxury or discovery. The Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht is designed for both. The tour brand's first ocean cruise ship, it measures 168 meters long, yet has just 114 suites, each with a private verandah. With 176 crew members, it offers as close to a 1:1 ratio as you'll find, which ensures you never have to wait to enjoy your next indulgence at the spa, pool, theater, lounges, or bars. It also carries its own Discovery team, who has a fleet of Zodiacs, kayaks, e-bikes, and other outdoor toys at their disposal to help you explore your surroundings in ways traditional luxury launches can't. Its maiden voyage launches in the Mediterranean next August, and current itineraries include trips through the Americas, Antarctica, Europe, and the Arctic.

Les Aviateurs Bar

Housed next to its flagship boutique on Rue du Rhône in Geneva, Les Aviateurs Bar pays homage to IWC Schaffhausen's classic Pilot's watches. The space was designed in collaboration with gastronomy partner Globus, the latter responsible for drinks like the "R. J. Mitchell", named after the designer of the Supermarine Spitfire, or the "Rose", inspired by the motif from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's story "The Little Prince". The bar itself recalls a gentlemen's club from the golden age of travel, with dark woods and leather providing a comfortable atmosphere in which to enjoy a cocktail or two.

Krypt Bar

Tucked below the streets of Vienna, Krypt Bar occupies a forgotten 18th-century cellar. The underground space was rediscovered during the renovations of the surrounding building after a sealed doorway uncovered a hidden lair. Accessed by a set of floating stairs, the large archways and exposed brickwork remain, creating a dramatic backdrop for the marble floors and gold finishes. Drinks are served at a 20-foot walnut bar while surrounding alcoves provide private booths. Along with the lounge, the area is also host to the city's smallest art gallery.

Black Tomato Get Lost Adventure Experience

Most wilderness experiences involve being led through semi-remote areas, with a guide and group to keep you company and accommodations that are just a step away from "glamping." Black Tomato's Get Lost Adventure Experience is pretty much the opposite. You get dropped off in an unknown, uncharted destination and have to explore your way through various checkpoints over several days, using nothing but your wits, provided equipment, and some navigational tools to get you there. You can choose the type of environment you want for your adventure — jungle, desert, etc. — but that's all the input you get. When you get to the airport, you won't know where you're heading or what you'll need to do to persevere, but rest assured you'll get quite the send off when you reach your goal, as well as a real feeling of satisfaction knowing you just tackled the great outdoors all by yourself.

World's Longest Zipline

Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates, will soon be home to a new world-class attraction. The World's Longest Zipline is set to open there in December. Developed by and Ras Al Khaimah and current record holder Toro Verde, the exact length is still unknown, but is guaranteed to best the already impressive 2,200-meter span of Puerto Rico's "The Monster." Riders will reach speeds between 55 and 80 mph on their descent, with side-by-side cables allowing families and couples to experience the face-down thrill together, and thanks to its unique position atop a mountain, it might also lay claim to another title: world's tallest.

Wales Coast Path Walking Tour

Guided tours are nothing new, but since most of them cart you from place to place via vehicle, you only get a glimpse of the place you're in. The Wales Coast Path Walking Tour gives you a chance to take in the outline of this breathtaking country at your own pace. More "suggested" than "guided," this pre-arranged journey includes detailed route maps — hint: keep the sea to your right — and 80 nights of accommodations. While you'll spend the majority of your time walking, they also spread 11 rest days throughout the trip in places like Cardiff and Porthmadog that are worth an extended look. Your stays are spread across high-end B&Bs, farmhouses, and small local inns, and they can also adjust your itinerary if you're a fast walker or want an even more leisurely pace.
