This Christmas, Treat Yourself to a Custom Defender and Kodiak Plane Package

This might be too big of a package to use as Christmas stocking stuffing, but it would still make an incredible, custom gift for your adventure-looking friends (or self). Assuming you can afford it.

Who said you should limit the amount of fun you could be having by taking your adventures to solid land or in the air only? This bundle allows you to do both, though not at the same time. Himalaya, a well-known Land Rover restorer, and plane maker Kodiak have joined forces to create a $3 million bundle just in time for the festive season.

For this kind of money, you get a custom, offroad-ready Himalaya Defender 110 and a Kodiak 100 Series II turboprop plane, and a bonus custom trek to Himalaya’s new Experience Center in Wyoming. Meaning, the perfect place to test out both your new rides.

Granted, the price is steep, but it’s considerably less than what you’d pay for a similar package revealed recently, the Porsche and Embraer combo of a 911 Turbo S and Phenom 300E. That one retails for $10 million, and the Defender has arguably wider functionality than the Turbo S. Plus, the Defender and the Kodiak Series II come in matching paintjobs.

The aircraft, though small in size, can carry up to nine passengers in total, has plenty of cargo space, and is able to land or take off from the most remote landing strips. It can be fitted with pontoons for water landings, which should further enhance its appeal with the wildest adventurers.

Meanwhile, the Himalaya Defender comes with a 300tdi engine, manual transmission and an array of heavy-duty components that make it just perfect for serious offroading. Both are rugged on the outside and very luxurious on the inside, allowing you to literally rough it up in style.

“Interested buyers will not only be acquiring an aircraft that features the most advanced technology, but also an elite driving machine suited for any terrain,” Kodiak’s chief demo pilot and sales director Mark Brown says in a statement. “It’s an unprecedented bundle that offers endless possibilities for any adventure seekers.”

It is also a very expensive bundle, if the fact needs any more highlighting. But you do you, millionaires of the world.
