    Go Green-Plant A Tree For The Earth

    Kotor, Montenegro

    Duration 4 hrs

    Enjoy the serenity of several natural settings, including the Big City Park in Tivat, where you will plant a tree that will benefit the Earth for years to come. The urban park is a green oasis full of indigenous and exotic plants that include eucalyptuses, magnolias, Chilean firs and unusual herbs. By planting a small tree on the grounds, you will add to the botanical diversity and perhaps most important help the environment, as trees absorb harmful carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air. A bit of free time in Porto Montenegro will follow, after which you will wander through Solila Reserve on the Bay of Tivat. Although salt was once produced in the pools along the shore, birdwatching is now the main activity in the protected wildlife reserve. Keep an eye out for auks, ibises and curlews. A leisurely and informative walk through Old Town Kotor will perfectly complement the experience.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Plant a tree in a park known for its botanical diversity.
    • Meander about a protected bayside reserve that supports abundant birdlife.
    • Enjoy free time in architecturally important Porto Montenegro and Old Town Kotor.

    Go Local - The Two Of Scotland's Best In Edinburgh

    Edinburgh (Newhaven), Scotland

    Duration 2 3/4 hrs

    OVERVIEW

    Experience the joys of two iconic Scottish activities: drinking a wee dram of whisky and playing the bagpipes. After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive at a downtown venue for a whisky tasting. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society will host the event, in which the whiskies will be served at cask strength. That means the drams will not have been subjected to chill filtration or any other interference that would alter their tastes. You will be served three drams, a dram being an eighth of a fluid ounce. The tasting will reveal the remarkable variety within the distillation processes and present the complexities that the different oak casks and aging times impart. Before each dram is sampled, one of the society’s members will describe the whisky’s characteristics. Some whiskies might taste spicy and dry while others may be heavily peated with strong smoky flavors. The experience will be enlightening and entertaining. Your immersion into the world of bagpipes will be just as fulfilling. Louise Marshall, one of Scotland’s most renowned pipers, will lead your workshop. She has played for Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Benedict XVI, and her instruction will be based on years of experience. Marshall will teach you basic chanter techniques, show you how bagpipes work and describe the instrument’s history. If you wish to look the part, Scottish attire such as kilts, sporrans and feather bonnets will be available.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Discover the basics of chanter technique, how bagpipes function, and the instrument’s rich cultural history.
    • A fun and educational way to experience two pillars of Scottish heritage—whisky and bagpipes in one engaging outing.
    • Optional use of traditional Scottish attire, including kilts, sporrans, and feather bonnets, adds to the immersive experience.
