Talisker Adventure on Helgoland
What is the most important for an adventure, you will remember fondly? Is it that one special moment in the stunning wild? New Inspirations? The community? Memorable enjoyment? All of the above are combined in Talisker Adventures. The focus of our mission is to connect people with nature and the sea and to learn more the importance of its protection. The most recent adventure had a diverse group of 45 nature lovers and whisky fans, who set sail into the rugged North Sea with a carefully planned program that will always be remembered.
Nothing for Ordinary Sailors
Early on Friday morning, the adventure began with a turbulent start on the tall ship Artemis. The crew quickly realised how much power and energy it takes to move such a big ship solely with wind power. Everyone joined in and hoisted the sails together.
Preserving our Seas together
Faine Loubser, filmmaker of the environmental organisation Parley, gave an inspiring speech at the ship’s stylish saloon. She talked about her passion and personal connection to the underwater world that needs to be protected and restored. Parley is an official partner of Talisker and helps preserving kelp forests worldwide that are extremely important for a functional ecosystem of our planet.
The Talisker Base Camp
Friday afternoon, the group reached Helgoland where the adventurers were overwhelmed by the idyllic tranquillity and rugged beauty of the island. They finally made it to Talisker Base Camp, built into the middle of a dune with a dozen cosy Lotus Bell Glamping tents and a main tent with three wooden tables and a Talisker bar.
Whisky Tasting in the Wild
The next morning, the participants hiked to the highest point of the island to enjoy the spectacular view. The sound of the ocean, warm sunshine and the rough ocean breeze – the perfect setting to enjoy Talisker. Of course the next stop had to be the Wilderness Bar directly at the beach. Here the participants enjoyed different Talisker drams while eating fresh oysters.
Inspired by Luminaries
The afternoon offered a special program with famous guests. The Swedish nature photographer Mattias Klum, whose stunning photographs made it to the cover of National Geographic multiple times, shared his tricks for the perfect shots in the wild. Chris Zegers, the charismatic Dutch actor and passionate adventurer, explained to the participants how nature can strengthen your mental health and balance. Professional, World Class bartender Ali Hayes showed how to mix the perfect drink. Cheers!
Memorable Enjoyment
Exceptional drinks naturally go hand in hand with exceptional food, which was prepared by none other than chef The Duc Ngo and his team from Berlin. It is the icing on the cake for this perfect tasting experience on another successful Talisker Adventure.
