The Great Outdoors: Greatest Escapes

This episode discovers the unconventional holiday. Hotels carved from ice, giving back to poor communities and learning how to be a Gladiator and a Cowboy, are just some of the holidays with a twist.

Swim with great white sharks, visit an adventure playground on steroids. Test drive cars on ice, extreme fishing. Swimming with dolphins, ziplines across mountains, the most fun you can have on four.

Isolated coastal luxury in the Top End, 5-star & budget surfing trips, chilling in the Caribbean, a royal Asian seaside retreat & a kayaking Greek odyssey at one of the top paddling spots in the world

We explore the unique species of the Galapagos Islands, visit an elephant resort and a giraffe hotel and a special zoo in Japan.

A trip of a life time down the legendary Silk Road, crossing the shifting sands of the magnificent Sharan Desert and the jaw-dropping landscapes of the surreal Monument Valley.

We go cuckoo for German clocks and eat in a restaurant called 'The Toilet'. A visit to the German fairytale castle that inspired Disneyland.
