If only you could explore the great outdoors equipped with the finest luxury tools and toys money can buy. Here are eight essential gadgets for the intrepid adventurer with deeper pockets than most. And not a Swiss Army knife in sight.

Powerjet Maverick Paramotor 

If hang gliding is your thing but there’s no suitable cliff to launch yourself from, take to the skies in the titanium-grade Maverick engine-powered paraglider. You’ll need formal training to get aloft, but there’s no need for a license, so you’ll soon be aerial exploring as free as a bird. From £4,333.33

Triton 1000/2 mini-submarine 

Straight out of a sci-fi movie, the Triton 1000/2 mini-submarine can be used for three-man missions to the ocean depths. The sub is often used for filmmaking or underwater archaeology expeditions as it gives unmatched panoramic underwater views. Suitable for launching from your private yacht, you can dive down to 305 metres. From £1.5 million

Waco Great lakes 2T-1A-2 biplane

Unleash the Indiana Jones in you by taking to the air in an open-cockpit, propeller-driven biplane. With a retro look and fantastic on-board instrumentation, this 180-horsepower plane has all the excitement of a classic (the design hasn’t changed much since 1929) but with all the stability that modern technology can bring. From £200,000

Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile 

The Yamaha Sidewinder is all about power and speed while being quiet and giving a smooth ride. With a power-to-weight ratio 30% better than any other 180-horsepower 4-stroke snowmobile out there, the Sidewinder is already a classic, ideal for just about any icy terrain. The acceleration is awesome, so hold on tight. From £13,500

Bugatti Niniette superyacht 

Bugatti’s limited edition Niniette is the superyacht sibling of the world’s fastest production sports car, the Chiron. At 66ft, the Niniette is not the biggest yacht out there but with a Jacuzzi, champagne bar, fire pit, retractable hood and James Bond-esque cabin, you can explore the oceans in unparalleled luxury at, of course, very high speeds.
