This trip can be customised to your personal preferences. Get in touch to create your own Sincura journey of island survival.
Finding genuine solitude and testing your human endeavour, away from the distractions of everyday life, can enrich your soul in deeply valuable and profound new ways. This trip is perfect for solo travellers looking for total isolation, or a group of up to eight friends wanting to experience island survival as a team.
Few places on Earth still retain their raw, untamed vigour. Accompanied by an experienced expedition leader, a speedboat will whisk you across virgin waters to a remote corner of the world, where you will be marooned on an island of untouched beauty. Learn how to utilise nature’s materials to navigate, hunt, cook and build. Use spears, rods and nets to catch fresh fish. Create fire with friction and forage for food in the jungle.
After an initial skill development phase, your expedition leader will leave you alone to camp, relax or explore in blissful isolation – all in the knowledge that help is just a call away if and when you tire of the uninterrupted horizons (a satellite phone will be provided). Along the island fringes, coral crowns are teeming with technicolor aquatics and whales migrate within swimming distance of the shores. Amuse yourselves with a fire-making competition, beach games or search for buried gold on your own treasure island.
On the ancient volcanic island of Tonga it’s the animals who take precedence. French Polynesia is an unending colour wheel of blues, golds and greens. Off the isthmus of Panama is a verdant island (famed by Bear Grylls) that’s blanketed in a dense jungle full of incredible wildlife. Whatever your chosen destination and time of year, there are many breathtaking natural phenomena to behold. Witness thousands of spawning crabs animating the sandy beaches, turtles nesting under a full moon or whales breaching in the shallows as you eat breakfast.
As the sun rises and sets over your private island, your circadian rhythm will begin to attune to its natural cues. Experience the most blissful night’s sleep you will ever have as your hammock sways to the soundtrack of the ocean waves. Unending stars provide the only blanket you will need, phosphorescent plankton and fireflies create a natural nightlight and the tymbal drum of tree crickets act as nature’s wake-up call.
On your final day, a rescue crew will appear to return you to the lap of luxury. As you reacquaint yourself with the contentment of a hot shower and crisp, white sheets, you will have a newfound appreciation for modern conveniences. Simplicity and self-sufficiency will imbue you a genuine sense of achievement. Celebrate with some chilled champagne and a magnificent beach feast – you've earned it.

This trip can be customised to your personal preferences. Get in touch to create your own Sincura Arabian adventure.
As the high-octane hub of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai's perpetually evolving skyline is where tradition and grandiose vision collide. Ferraris are a more common sight than the traditional Dhows that hark back to the city's humble beginnings as a fishing settlement.
Shopping is a favourite pastime here. Indulge in some retail therapy with a personal shopper who will accompany you to all the best boutiques and ateliers at some of Dubai's mega malls, shops and souks. For a truly exclusive treat, sit down for a traditional Emirati afternoon tea with a royal. Coffee is a part of Arabic hospitality, so sample a camel milk cappuccino or a refreshing jellab – both quintessential local flavours.
Far from the bustling souks and imposing skyscrapers, stay in a traditional camp amongst the desert dunes where you'll witness falconry displays and horse shows or watch Tanoura dancers spin to the folkloric sounds of Sufi music. End your day stargazing with an expert astronomer or fireside listening to local myths and legends as told by a Bedouin storyteller. In this serene, sandy landscape, the aromas of shisha and spiced meats wafting through the air and the sounds of nocturnal desert creatures coming to life is a multi-sensory indulgence.
To raise your adrenalin, head to Abu Dhabi to take pole position with an F1 professional and experience the thrill of driving without speed limits. Or combine G-force with stomach-churning heights on the world's fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa. For some enlightenment, visit the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque out-of-hours. This architectural marvel celebrates diversity and integration. Enjoy the historical and cultural delights of Saadiyat Island with a private tour of Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi – designed by Pritzker Prize winners.
If it's seclusion you're after, fly by seaplane to a private island just off Abu Dhabi's coast. Swoop and soar metres above the waves as you kitesurf under the guidance of an expert instructor. Or paraglide through the sky as the sun sets and land on your deserted beach where a sundowner and Arabic buffet awaits. Join a dive master and marine biologist in the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf to dive amongst whale sharks in their natural habitat. These gentle giants are the largest fish in the sea and a sight to behold.
Nature lover? Then rev-up for an off-road adventure in Oman, the UAE's more humble neighbour. Scale mountain roads, meander wadis, ford rivers and cross canyons to visit ancient villages, prehistoric caves and fruit plantations. Hike green trails, bike craggy slopes and swim natural pools to explore the diverse topography of Oman's Jebel Shams. Spend the night under the stars in a luxurious Bedouin-style tent.
Throughout Arabia, history is preserved in the soul of the country but innovation creates a new face for the modern world.

There is something magical about Florida, and it’s not just because of Mickey Mouse. From rockets launching into outer space, to an ecosystem found nowhere else on Earth, you’ll find unexpected delights all year-round in the Sunshine State.
Walt Disney World is the place where imagination turns into reality. Don’t waste time standing in line, head straight to a private entrance because a whole new world awaits, literally and figuratively. Once inside, bypass every queue and go straight to the front, giving you more time to explore the Disney universe - its nearly twice the size of Manhattan so you haven’t got time to waste! Cinderella’s castle is at the heart of the Magic Kingdom, innovation radiates from the geodesic sphere of Epcot, the lines between reality and film blur in Hollywood Studios and zoological adventures await in the Animal Kingdom.
Step into the big screen world of Universal Studios. Here, you don’t watch the plot unfold, you become part of it. Front-of-the-line access, insider tips and reserved seating will ensure that every magic moment is spent creating precious family moments. Don’t be surprised if your favourite characters come looking for you once they hear that you have arrived. You will be the family hero when you all become the stars of your favourite film. Help Harry escape from the Gringotts, ride along in a fast and furious car chase or prevent the minions causing mayhem in this unending world of possibility.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, a personal invitation arrives from NASA. Travel through space and time at Kennedy Space Centre where a veteran astronaut will give you a familiarisation of the Launch Operations Center. Here, at the literal launchpad to the universe, use technology to melt moon dust for oxygen, create the chemical reaction that launches the shuttle then liftoff in Atlantis or use your skills to dock at the International Space Station. This is real-life space camp.
Recharge your batteries in Palm Beach and attune your rhythm to the ocean breeze. Lounge in oceanfront pools, follow the snorkeling trail or pamper your body and your mind in the spa. Combine health and education as you take a family bike ride around historical markers, botanical gardens, art exhibitions, farm-fresh eateries and the manicured lawns of super-mansions in the Estate Section. Build on your healthy habits with a family fitness class or have a golf clinic with a top PGA or LPGA professional before you compete out on the course.
Along the coast, Miami is a shining beacon of colour and creativity. Wynwood Arts District is an open-air gallery where bustling bars and warehouse hubs give graffiti and street art life and context. Accompany a local street artist to his studio, viewing his favourite street works along the way. Under his direction, use a professional spray can to create your own piece of art as a lasting memento.
From here you can visit the Everglades. First, get acquainted with some of the inhabitants of the “river of grass” with a naturalist guide. Toss food to the infamous alligators, dare to hold a python and get talkative with the parrots. Synonymous with the national park, take an airboat ride through the swamps and twisting mangrove tunnels. Folklore and fun facts will be interspersed with the unique flora and fauna of this tropical wetland ecosystem.
Soak in the glorious Miami sunshine on a private yacht charter from Biscayne Bay. Complete with all the latest toys and tech, you’ll have submarines, hoverboards, air drones and towable inflatables to gratify your recreational needs. A talented chef and bartender will be on hand to satisfy your more satiable appetites.
Spend a few days soaking up the sun in the beautiful Florida Keys enjoying a plethora of exhilarating experiences. Begin your exclusive adventure with a thrilling fast boat transfer to Dry Tortugas National Park where you will enjoy time at leisure and a guided tour before heading back to Key West by seaplane. Spend a day exploring the world below the surface at Islamorada, home to some of the most biodiverse marine environments in the continental US. Embark on a mini-road trip along the famed Highway 1 in a classic convertible and learn how to bake the perfect Key Lime Pie at a renowned local bakery.
From sunshine to Cinderella, this is the land of endless enchantment. Come and find your happily ever after...
