Escape with Burgess and Cookson Adventures.

Burgess has teamed up with Cookson Adventures, the world's leading luxury adventure specialist, to offer you genuinely unique experiences in some of the planet's most extraordinary destinations.

A real wilderness adventure might be closer to home than you’d think. And, like most great escapes, they’re destinations best explored by yacht. You can set sail for quiet whale-filled bays or to black sand islands where volcanoes burst periodically into life. Together, Cookson's knowledge and Burgess' yachting expertise can reveal hidden pockets of wilderness, away from the crowds, wherever you are in the world. 

'There’s no remedy for the chaos of everyday life quite like sailing out into the Big Blue,' says Henry Cookson, founder of Cookson Adventures. 'I say to anyone who is hungry for a real getaway - one that takes them to idyllic islands with secret coves and hidden depths - to bring one crucial thing along: uncapped curiosity. 

 'Our team at Cookson Adventures has unrivalled knowledge of our planet’s furthest reaches. After you’ve chosen the ideal vessel with Burgess, we will handcraft an itinerary around the curiosities of each and every guest, so that two days needn’t ever be the same out at sea. It's time to rethink the possibilities of your annual break.'

In the northernmost extremity of North America, Alaska’s sheer size and medley of landscapes are enough to arouse an instinct to explore. Adding a helicopter to your voyage means Cookson’s pilots can fly you to untamed wilderness, where you can hike up remote glaciers and climb peaks that very few people have ever seen, let alone scaled. 

Between August and September, the salmon run takes hold. Numbering in their millions, the salmon run offers not only a feast for your senses, but also plentiful food for bald eagles and some of the planet’s largest gatherings of brown bears. These majestic mammals snatch salmon from raging torrents and teach their cubs how to fish. With Cookson’s guides you can track, watch and interpret the behaviour of the bears as they patrol the rushing forest estuaries.
