You will float above the treetops on a dramatic suspension bridge and cross into a different world made of rice bowl-shaped architecture offering private rafting on Bali’s longest river, a bike ride through rice fields starting at Mount Batur’s volcanic crater, and top-secret tours to Bali’s most off the beaten path historical sites and temples.

Winterlake Lodge – Skwentna, Alaska
Only accessible via floatplane, Winterlake Lodge sits at the entrance to the Alaska Range on the edge of an ancient valley.
