Experience the thrill of ziplining through the forest canopy. Soar through the air for over 2 kilometers, enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding forest. Feel the wind in your face and the leaves brush against your fingertips as you zip through the trees, marveling at the natural splendor below.

Gouverneur Beach unfolds like a pirate’s treasure map come to life — a broad U-shaped bay framed by high cliffs, where the only footprints in the white sand might be your own. Reach it via a steep, turtle-crossed road (watch your step!) that spills onto one of St Barts’ most undisturbed shores. The southwest-facing cove offers great snorkelling, while the eastern end sees naturists embracing the solitude. The lack of amenities means you have to pack some essentials, but reward comes in spades: picnic-perfect sands, cliffside views from nearby Santa Fe restaurant (try their grilled lobster), and whispers of buried pirate gold beneath your beach towel.

The National Monument, or Monas, rises from the centre of Merdeka Square as a symbol of Indonesia’s independence. Visitors can take a lift to the viewing deck for wide views over the city or explore the museum at its base, which traces the country’s struggle for freedom. The surrounding park is a favourite spot for locals to stroll, grab street food, or rest in the shade.

Witness the Dubai Fountain in action at Burj Lake, right by the Burj Khalifa. The show combines water, light, and music in a carefully choreographed display, and it’s one of the most iconic experiences in the city. The surrounding area is also worth a stroll, with views of the lake, the fountain, and the Burj Khalifa towering above.
