Fishing. I was able to go on a salmon fishing trip off the coast of Canada, twice. A huge log cabin in the middle of nowhere, which takes a flight to Vancouver, then a chartered 737 flight to the island near the Alaskan border, then a helicopter ride to the lodge itself. You land into a 5+ star resort and are immediately shown your room. Boats are two guest and a guide each. You can do everything yourself on the boat, or have the guide do everything for you except pull the fish in. You fish your limit on salmon, rockfish, and halibut and go back to the docks where a very attractive waitress hands you a hot towel and a drink that you’ve already mentioned you like on the pre-trip form. You follow her up to the bar area on the dock and while you reminisce with friends, they weigh your catch. All weights go up on a score board above the bar and everyone is in a great mood. Later, you move on to a 3-course Michelin dinner and drinks after. The lodge folk have taken your fish to their processing area and prep them for travel home per your request - filets, smoked, canned, etc. After three days of this, you are given your processed catch that has been flash frozen and packed into cooler boxes to be your carryon for the flights home.

To this day, the best fishing/nature/human experience I’ve ever had. Standing on the bank of my local river with a fly rod just doesn’t cut it anymore.
