If you love classic cars, how about taking an Aston Martin for a spin down the North Coast 500, which is Scotland’s scenic equivalent of America’s legendary Route 66. Or go all James Bond on Lake Como with an amphibious Amphicar 770, taking it for a jaunt on the waterfront before hitting the lake itself? Or try a different experience afloat on the Riviera Maya, where the Rosewood Mayakoba’s custom-made, 55-foot Von Dutch yacht is available for indulgently private day-trips. 

For those who appreciate heights, add some serious elevation to your time in Rio de Janeiro by taking a sightseeing trip in a chopper with no doors. 

On the Great Barrier Reef, you can marvel at the colours of the coral from above before landing on a floating pontoon for a snorkel at beautiful Heart Reef. Alternatively, splash some cash on a helicopter trip to the Blue Room, an ice cave in the Rocky Mountains where you’ll be served a five-course feast that’s said to be Canada’s priciest lunch.
