Rainforest Adventures

Since 1994, Rainforest Adventures has combined unique rainforest adventures (such as tram rides, bobsleds and zip lines), with exceptional, multi-lingual naturalist guides, and tour excursions in Costa Rica (both Pacific and Atlantic), Panama, Saint Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica.

Each Rainforest Adventures location serves as ecotourism attractions, in addition to wildlife and wilderness refuges. Rainforest Adventures’ keen eco-consciousness has earned high marks from conservation groups and government bodies.

Some of the company’s achievements include earning Blue Ecological Flags and the highest rating under the Certification for Sustainable Tourism (Costa Rica Pacific and Atlantic); receiving a Tourism Service Excellence Award from the Ministry of Tourism (Jamaica); and being acknowledged by the Rotary Club of Gros Islet for Outstanding Contribution for Humanitarian Service (St Lucia).

Each park and tour is unique, built around the natural history and culture of each country with its own special attractions. All shore excursions are carbon neutral and the company has been certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) for safety. Below are several wonderful destinations to consider:

– Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic

Located just 80 kms (50 miles) from the Costa Rica’s capital city of San José, Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic was the company’s first park, introduced in 1994 with the non-invasive construction of an aerial tram. Today, the park has grown to include guided tours (pick from nature hikes, bird-watching treks and family-friendly adventures) and attractions like the AdrenaLine – a 700-metre (2,297-foot) zipline that takes thrill-seekers flying 55 km/hr (34 mph) through the jungle. For softer adventure, guests can explore the butterfly and frog garden ( $10.00 USD, per person): a 200-square-metre (1,250-square-foot) open-air space where nature-lovers can immerse themselves in a world of bug-eyed bullfrogs and tiny tadpoles. And with bilingual naturalists overseeing the grounds, this garden is an eye-opening and educational experience for adventurers of all ages. Unique to Costa Rica Atlantic are the 10 modern bungalows, each with private baths and terraces available for overnight accommodation.

è Guests can explore their phobias at the Serpentarium at Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Pacific

Rainforest Adventures’ Costa Rica Pacific park, located outside the beach town of Jacó and about a two-hour drive from San José, is home to a heart-leaping Serpentarium: a snake exhibition located deep in the jungle that showcases 20 of Costa Rica’s finest slithering species. – Admission to the Serpentarium is $10 USD per guest. Adventurers with kids in tow might consider springing for the Family Tour, a package for all ages that showcases the beauty and secrets of the rainforest with every turn. On this five-hour tour, families join expert naturalist guides for visits to the Serpentarium and the Medicinal Plant Garden, a painting workshop (where kids can colour a T-shirt with natural dyes or create a fossil) and a ride through the rainforest treetops on the aerial tram, complete with a nutritious Costa Rican meal. Cost for the Family Tour is $82.00 USD (children) and $78.00 USD (students and adults).

– Take a blind leap on the AdrenaLUNA zip line tour at Rainforest Adventures St Lucia

Guests can up the zipline stakes and leap over to Rainforest Adventures’ St Lucia Park, located the highland community of Chassin, Dauphin, for a little nighttime action. While not for the faint of heart (or for those afraid of the dark), the brand new AdrenaLUNA nighttime zipline tour starts with a dark walk through the rainforest and launch off a volcanic boulder, continuing with a zipline through the high jungle canopy (only a headlamp leads the way) and a swing on a Tarzan-like rope, and finishing with a rappel back down to Earth. Cost for the tour is $79.00 USD (adults).

– Jungle bobsledding at Rainforest Adventures Jamaica

With Rainforest Adventures Jamaica, on Mystic Mountain, bobsledding isn’t just a wintertime sport for northerners. Guests who visit the park, located in the resort town of Ocho Rios, will discover a wild ride that’s inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympians and ranked by TripAdvisor.com as one of the region’s top attractions. Bobsledders are safely strapped into a sled and then sped, using only gravity, down a 1,000-metre (3,281-foot) mountainside track through the dense rainforest. (Going a bit too fast? Slow down using a handbrake). While the experience of bobsledding in a Jamaican jungle is priceless, guests do pay $62.00 USD per ride. To get back to earth, guests can drop by the butterfly garden (a spot designed to attract these insects in non-enclosed setting) and the hummingbird garden (a place for visitors to see and learn about Jamaica’s national bird in a natural setting). Finally, guests may cool off after a long day of jungle adventures with an exhilarating ride down the 77-metre (253-foot) mystic waterslide, ending in an infinity-edged pool.

– Leap across a 107-metre (350-foot) cavernous drop at Rainforest Adventures Dominica

Located at the edge of the lush Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Rainforest Adventures Dominica offers guests a range of activities, such as aerial tram tours, jungle hikes and, the most adrenaline inducing of all, the gorge zip challenge. Home to the highest zipline in the southern Caribbean region, Rainforest Adventures Dominica boasts three cable lines, culminating in 361 metres (1,185 feet) of heart-leaping fun. The grand finale of the park’s zipline experience is a clammy-hand journey across the Breakfast River Gorge, a 107-metre (350-foot) cavern filled with plants and waterfalls. Cost is $50 USD (trail walk and zipline) or $99 USD (aerial tram ride and zipline).

– Exploring the depth, breadth of the Pearl of the Pacific – Rainforest Adventures Panama with Panama Excursions.

To open visitors’ eyes to the true heart and soul of Panama, Rainforest Adventures offers seven diverse tours, adventures and experiences: Shaping of Panama, Chagres River Adventure, Authentic Embera Indian Village, Miraflores Locks Observation Center, Eco Cruise on the Gatun Lake, Panama Canal Partial Transit and Panama Canal Railway. On the Authentic Embera Indian Tour, guests take a dugout canoe ride into Chagres National Park en route to a remote village. Once there, explorers will meet the chief, watch a series of traditional dances and take time to explore the village, meet the local people and purchase a crafted keepsake. With four exhibition halls, a visit to the Miraflores Locks Observation Center is an eye-opening and educational look at the shaping and importance of the Panama Canal and its locks. Nature-lovers wanting to be immersed in Panama’s lush flora and fauna needn’t look further than the Eco Cruise on the Gatun Lake tour, an experience that takes guests aboard a small boat for an exploration of back channels, islands and bays and to the Gatun Locks. Birds, monkeys, sloth, iguanas and crocodiles are just a few of the animals that can be spotted on this tour.

Prices range from $10 to $100 USD per person, based on the level of experience, with group and individual packages available.

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ is clearly the innovation leader in high-end outdoor cooking and entertaining equipment. At the recent architectural Digest Home Design Show, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet introduced an assortment of 12 luxury grills that will change how casual grillers, barbecue enthusiasts and chefs cook outdoors, just in time for the summer.

Known for featuring lavish celebrity homes, exquisite architecture, and unique interior and exterior, Architectural Digest Home Design Show has always remained one of the anticipated events for both spacial design enthusiasts and admirers. One of the unexpected hit items from this year’s Show was created by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, the innovation leader in high-end outdoor cooking and entertaining equipment.

Kalamzoo introduced an assortment of 12 grills that has captured the attention of casual and grillers and barbecue enthusiasts. Its newly redesigned Hybrid Fire Grills combine the convenience of a gas grill with the heat characteristics of a charcoal grill, plus the flavor of a wood grill or smoker. Backyard barbecuers can use these different fires separately or in combination to grill, smoke, sear, roast, rotisserie and more all on one grill.

The new H-shaped custom-cast, brass Dragon Burners features linear temperature control zones, with each 25,000 BTU burner tailoring the heat to a specific section of the cooking area. Burgers can be cooked at one temperature while vegetables get their appropriate amount of heat; each on their own custom laser-cut cooking surface. Gas cooking temperatures range from 250ºF to over 700ºF, while heat generated from charcoal or wood would extend from 150ºF to 1,200ºF.

The grills also feature a dedicated ignition burner to fire the main burners. This “pilot light” is part of the most reliable ignition system in the market. The special-purpose burner is paired with electronic hot surface ignition and an engineered “flash tube” to ensure quick starts, even in the windiest conditions. The ignition burner can also be used alone for low-temperature smoking and barbecuing.

Sleek and designed with aesthetics worthy of the Architectural Digest, the grills’ exterior is inspired by minimalist architecture. Its minimalist design allows the grills the ability to fit harmoniously into almost any outdoor kitchen design style or patio setting.

The Kalamazoo, Michigan-made Hybrid Fire Grills come in four sizes and 12 models. They range in price from $9,995 to $26,195 and include built-in and free standing options:
– K500: two burners, 506 square inches of primary cooking surface, 50,000 main burner BTUs
– K750: three burners, 726 square inches of primary cooking surface, 75,000 main burner BTUs
– K1000: four burners, 1,012 square inches of primary cooking surface, 100,000 main burner BTUs
– K1500: six burners, 1452 square inches of primary cooking surface, 150,000 main burner BTUs

Shattering the standards of modernism and post-modernism, artist Jurgen, Prinz von Anhalt was the first artist in the history of art to use airplane jet as a paint brush during the 1980s.  Since then, Jet Art, has become highly admired and sought-after art pieces worldwide.  The exhibits and performances of the art has always drawn crowds of enthralled admirers.

Since Prinz von Anhalt’s passing, his wife, Tarinan von Anhalt is making headlines for the von Anhalt name.  As the first woman in the world to have stood in front of the jet stream, braving forces several times greater than hurricane winds and 500-degree heat, and the only artist trained to carry on Jet Art, Tarinan von Anhalt inherited her late husband’s legacy by further pushing the exploration of Jet Art’s vast potentials and unexpected canvases.

Standing behind the jet engine, Princess Tarinan created 50 one-of-a-kind Luxury Original denim artworks, the velocity of the engine blending the colors and melding the painting in never-before-seen ways.

Her newest design is creating colorful art on denim canvases with a completely innovative twist: The Jet Engine.  Debuted in New York’s recent Couture Fashion Week, Princess Tarinan’s vibrant and colorful line of wearable art includes the most expensive premium denims ever offered.  Also included in her collection are extravagant silk scarves rendered from Jet Art Paintings, onto the finest silk chiffon.

Princess Tarinan von Anhalt describes the collection best in her own words, “you are not buying jeans, you are collecting art.”

Ayers Rock Resort

Wildlife and the glamorous city of Sydney have always completed Australia’s signature image.  On April 1 of this year, visitors have a new reason to be swept away by all that Australia has to offer: the Beautiful Dune.  In the local Ananu language, “Tali Wiru” is part of the Ayers Rock Resort experience.

Located in the cultural landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in Australia’s Northern Territory, Ayers Rock Resort offers over 65 tours, local activities, and attractions within the resort and its surrounding parks.  Among those, the Tali Wiru, reserved to a group of twenty people, is the one of the most exclusive dining experiences in the Australian outback.

With the pale orange sunset as the backdrop, dinner at the Tali Wiru begins with French champagne and canapés around the fire while guests are serenaded by the classic sounds of the didgeridoo (a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia around 1500 years ago).

As the sun sets over the iconic Uluru, guests of Tali Wiru are then escorted to the private dune top to enjoy a four-course dinner accompanied by premium Australian wines.  The breathtaking views of the majestic outback from the dune top are nothing short of extraordinary.

Ayers Rock Resort has successfully combined luxurious fine dining and intimate nature experience with the Tali Wiru.  The “under the stars” dining experience is available every day of the week except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Machine Guns Vegas

Las Vegas is known for its over-the-top luxurious dining, partying, entertainment, and gambling.  Now it can add over-the-top luxurious gun range ultra lounge to its credit.

Every detail of the new Machine Gun Vegas is meticulously cared for to ensure the highest-class gun range experience, in the true Las Vegas fashion.  The ultra lounge is staffed with fully trained “Gun Waitresses” that offers a cocktail of gun cocktails.  In addition, they also give you the opportunity to try out a million dollars’ worth of guns.

Further adding to its intrigue, the Machine Gun Vegas has several gun themes.  The most notable ones being the MOB, The Femme Fatale, SEAL Team VI, World @ War, and The Elite.  The MOB is a blend of weaponry used by the Mafia in Las Vegas, including the Thompson, an Amphibian S pistol suppressor, and the Mossberg 590A1 12 gauge shot gun.  All of which has been seen at one time or another on mob movies.

The Femme Fatale consists of the Uzi and different types of handguns, all light in weight and easier to control.  In the late 1940’s, Major Uziel Gal created the first Uzi sub machine gun. The gun was utilized as a personal defense weapon for tankers, artillery troops, and officers.  It was also used as on the frontlines by elite infantry assault forces.

The SEAL Team VI gives the guests a chance to live the fast-paced dangers of the famed military squad.  This package includes a pistol with suppressor designed to be lightweight, improved accuracy, and extended service life.  The Amphibian S, featured in this package has 13 variations spanning 29 years, making it the most advanced and sought after integrated .22 caliber suppressor system in the world.

Next featured in the SEAL Team VI is the MR556A1, a premium level commercial and civilian semi-automatic rifle.  This class of firearm has been made popular as the civilian version of the gun that was used in the recent, high profile Operation Neptune Spear.  The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) machine gun and the M60 rounds out the SEAL Team VI weaponry pack.

World @ War features close and long-range firearms mainly used in military combat.  This includes the M1911, a single, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun designed by John M. Browning.  It was commonly used in both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.  The MP 40 (the “Schmeisser”) is the successor of the MP 38 and is a submachine gun created in Nazi Germany to be used during the second World War.  You may recognize it from movies like “Schindler’s List” and “Saving Private Ryan”.

The Elite is one of the most premium packages Machine Gun Vegas has to offer.  It includes the M249 SAW, handguns, semi-automatics, and full automatics for a complete shooting experience.  It covers firearms used by the United States armed forces as well as military forces from around the world.

Machine Guns Vegas offers complimentary transportation to and from your Vegas hotel.  But be forewarned that this new kind of ultra lounge is definitely not for the weak of heart. They don’t do single shots, but round after round of pure guns. It is truly Las Vegas on Full Auto.

Unno Spa – Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness

The biggest determining factor of a good spa is location, and the Unno Spa on the grounds of Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness fulfills this criteria with flying colors.

Set amid the lush gardens and tranquil lagoons, Unno Spa focuses on a holistic fusion of relaxation methods from the ancient therapies of the Incas.  Instead of working to simply relaxing the body and mind, Unno Spa elevates to a higher level that aims to renew the spirit.

Sitting at over 27,000 square feet, the Unno Spa is a comprehensive health center that offers traditional European, Ayurveda, and signature Andean treatments.  Most notable is Unno Spa’s Andean treatments.  This selection of treatments uses essential oils of native plants such as cocoa, mint, guavaberry, gooseberry, corn, and quinoa as key ingredients.

Taking advantage of the peaceful nature surrounding the facility, the Inca Cleansing Ritual treatment is done in the courtyard, inside a stone igloo-shaped Inca Sauna, stone fire pit, and grass patch.  Led by a Shaman from the local indigenous community, the Shaman begins the ceremony by cleansing the spirit with the help of the mountain deities.  Next, the sauna will be used for internal cleansing with the soil from the valley’s four most significant mountains.  The ritual concludes with a rinse in the outdoor stone shower.

Unno Spa – Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness

Originating from Thailand, the Ayurveda treatments are performed in an authentic Shirodhara chamber.  The Spa also has an onsite yoga studio and meditations rooms where patrons can relax to soothing light and gentle sounds.

True to its nature theme, the interior of the spa is decorated with natural stones, warm woods, and glass doors to provide a connection to the outdoors.  Aside from the cultural Shaman Inca Cleansing Ritual, the Unno Spa also offers more conventional treatments such as the deep-cleansing Andean Mud Wrap, exfoliating Salts Maras Scrub, and the relaxing Mystical Stone Bed Wrap and Massage.  If you’re ever in South America, why not try the largest spa it has to offer?

Ritz Carlton, Dove Mountain

The Ritz-Carlton is globally known for its luxury and high-class accommodations.  In fact, it’s the only hotel with its own inspired adjective, “ritzy.”  Now it wants you to recognize them as adventurers.  The luxury Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain located in Tucson Arizona, is utilizing its desert location to create an adventure-filled playground for children and adult guests.

Set in the scenic town of Marana with Sonoran Desert as its backdrop, the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is nothing short of extraordinary.  It cleverly infuses luxury into the Southwestern adventure experience.  Led by the resort’s mascot, Ranger Ron and Dove Mountain Rangers, guests partake on a geo-caching desert treasure hunt with their GPS to seek mysterious caches where resort collectibles are hidden.  Along the way, guests can enjoy the resort’s Wild Burro, Alamo Spring, and Upper Javelina trails.  Uncovered treasures can be kept by guests as souvenirs.

In addition to the treasure hunt, the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain also offers the desert tortoise and desert wildlife experience.  For this program children are introduced to desert creatures such as the Desert Tortoise, friendly tarantula, and non-poisonous snakes, all of whom live with and are cared for by trained Ranger staff.  At night, Dove Mountain Rangers present their exclusive “Bug Experience” allowing children to get up close and personal with ordinary and rare bugs from the 850 acres surrounding the resort.

For adults, the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain offers a 90-minute sunset hike through the lush Sonoran Desert.  This 2.7-mile hike features the glorious Arizona sunset, hundreds of towering saguaros, and native flora and fauna rarely seen in some desert locales.  The excursion ranges in elevation from 2,700 feet to nearly 3,400 feet.  At the end of their hike, guests are rewarded with a refreshing cocktail at the resort’s chic Ignite Lounge.

To encourage youth interest in nature and wildlife, Dove Mountain Rangers are introducing an added badge program this spring, allowing children to win awards for their completion of different adventures.  This program also offers Southwest arts and crafts activities, ecology walks, s’mores-making, movies, and video game competitions to round out the full program.

Activities at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain are periodically rotated and changed, so it’s best to contact the resort (520-572-3000) for their most current adventure programs.

Serengeti safari

Misconceptions of Africa tend to limit its traveling potential and appeal.  Although nature and animals is one huge part of what Africa is known for, luxurious honeymoon can now be another.  Opening in the beginning of summer, on June 15 of this year, the luxurious Singita Serengeti House will offer guests exclusive-use accommodation and access to 350,000 acres of private land for an intimate yet lavishing safari experience in Tanzania.

Located near the world-famous Serengeti National Park, this exquisite retreat offers idyllic vistas from the wide Serengeti plains to the property’s nearby watering hole.  Ideal for families and small groups, Singita Serengeti House accommodates up to eight guests in four spacious suites, all featuring private outdoor showers and terraces.  In addition, the House also includes large dining and lounge areas, ample decked areas with day beds, swimming pool, and tennis court.

Created by Singita’s award-winning interior designers, Cecile & Boyd, the Serengeti House is the perfect fusion of modernism with traditional African cultural theme.  The décor combines classic furniture with local materials, bleached raw woods and a palette of white, ebony and ivory.  One of the most notable parts of the Serengeti House is the effort expended in water and energy efficiency.  So the Serengeti House was created with the least amount of carbon footprint and disruptions to the natural ecosystem.

Guests staying at Serengeti House can go on Singita’s signature safari with a private guide and gourmet cuisine created by a private chef.  Romance, nature, and culture are all part of the Serengeti House experience.  An all-inclusive travel package is available on Africa Odyssey.

Clive Christian

Agreed upon by most people who have experienced it, Clive Christian’s perfume “smells expensive,” and they were right.  At over $800 for 1.6oz, Clive Christian’s No. 1 Perfume for men and women definitely uphold the company’s boast, “The world’s most expensive perfume.”

Created without reference to cost, the No. 1 Perfume was created using the finest, most rare, most precious ingredients.  It was even awarded a gold crown of excellence by Queen Victoria.  Continuing the royal theme, the his- and hers- No. 1 Perfume were presented to Prince William and Kate Middleton as a wedding gift.

Its $865 price tag doesn’t seem to diminish the No. 1 Perfume’s popularity or appeal.  Since only 1,000 bottles are released every year, orders for it are limited to six units every 30 days.

Key attributes of the No.1 Perfume for women are serene and sophisticated with Indian jasmine, Tahitian Vanilla and rosa centafolia, associated with Aphrodite, Goddess of art, love, beauty and creativity.  The No.1 Perfume for men demonstrates an understated yet distinctive, ancient Indian Sandalwood and Arabian Jasmine Sambac impart the scent of an accomplished, uncompromising character.

At $310 per bottle, the 1872 Perfume was named as a tribute to the year Queen Victoria granted her crown to the House.  The X Perfume is clearly the most exotic and alluring scent in the perfume line.  It’s made with the notoriously rare Egyptian Jasmine gathered from the banks of the Nile.  It was rumored to have been used by Cleopatra to capture Mark Anthony’s heart.  The C Perfume is one of Clive’s personal favorites, jasmine, rose, and tuberose lend to its rich (pun-intended), romantic scent.

As the official Brand Ambassador for Clive Christian perfumes, Clive’s daughter, Victoria Christian will be touring the world and documenting her insight to the elite world of luxury travel.  She will, of course, also have her Clive Christian perfumes with her.
