For many of us, glacier hiking in Patagonia, whale watching in Australia, and stargazing in Easter Island are merely pipe dreams.

For the mega-rich, that's all accomplished in one month of the year.

Those in the upper echelon of wealth value travel like the rest of us, except their experiences are vastly different. Instead of reading travel blogs, consulting hot travel lists, and scouring the internet for cheap airfare deals, the mega-rich often outsource their vacation planning to luxury travel agencies.

Abercrombie & Kent is one such company. The travel and concierge service transports guests on its fleet of private jets and chartered mega-yachts with the exclusivity and five-star treatment millionaires are so accustomed.

Its portfolio of luxury family tours ranges widely, including trips such as riding in a tuk-tuk

Around the World, a 25-day journey through 7 countries and 6 continents for $150,000 per person.

Below, a closer look at the Around the World itinerary — how the mega-rich travel the world.

The trip begins in Miami, where travelers mix and mingle during the first night. They stay at the Four Seasons, and enjoy the fitness centers and on-site restaurants. The global adventure begins in the morning.

Days 2 - 4: Nicaragua

Board a private jet and depart the US for Nicaragua.

Guests arrive at the luxurious Mukul Resort and Spa, situated on the country's Emerald Coast. There's no shortage of adventurous and exhilarating activities in Nicaragua. Explore the cloud forest on foot and from up above on a zip line. Or, there's the option to sport fish, take in a round of golf, or pedal around on a bicycle.

The ultra-rich can also imbibe the country's finest rums and try their hands at cigar rolling.

Days 5 - 7: Chile

Arrive in the Southern Hemisphere via private jet and board the adventure vessel 'Skorpios III.'

One of the best ways to explore the pre-historic Patagonian fjords, glaciers, and rocky crags is by water. The region is rich with wildlife so it's not uncommon to spot dolphins, grey foxes, Patagonian puma, or Andean condors. An expert glaciologist is on hand to lead glacier climbing tours for the ultra rich as well.

Days 8 - 9: Easter Island

Days 10 - 12: New Zealand
