ACTIVE TRIPS AROUND

THE GLOBE A beachy time in Fiji. Biking with Backroads in Italy’s Dolomites. Come Alive

Active and adventure travel gets adrenaline flowing, sharpens the mind, and wildly expands the senses. It gives both the satisfaction of setting goals for yourself – can I hike to Machu Picchu? Pedal 60 riverside miles along the Rhône? Nail that perfect white rhino photo in the Okavango Delta? – and the personal growth that comes with pushing your limits. Luckily for Virtuoso travelers, these comfort-zone challenges don’t require leaving behind luxury or convenience (or being an Olympic athlete), and they often come with a victory beverage or glass of Champagne. Read on to see how Virtuoso advisors and our partner tour operators, cruise lines, hotels, and more can take you off the beaten path in style, whether you’re glamping under Norway’s northern lights, heli-skiing in Jackson Hole, or cruising the Amazon River.

Calm waters and (inset) Katz’s wife, Sally, with local penguins.

COMMUNE WITH NATURE “When you’re planning a visit to Antarctica, make sure to opt for a longer voyage that includes South Georgia Island. You won’t be sorry! Our Zodiac landed at dawn on the shore of Saint Andrews Bay, where we were treated to the awesome sight of some 100,000 king penguins and their downy chicks. No single image can do justice to this panorama of creatures.” – Morton Katz, Virtuoso traveler
