Despite his team missing out on the NBA playoffs, the superstar athlete refused to let it get him down. Instead, he whisked his loved ones away to the stunning Maldives where they indulged in bike rides, admired the breathtaking views, and even went for a spin in a DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplane.
LeBron James recently bid farewell to his well-deserved vacation in the Maldives and took to Instagram to share a series of clips from his heavenly getaway. The NBA icon expressed his gratitude towards life, captioning the post with “THANK YOU!!”. It appears that he stayed at the luxurious Four Seasons Resort, known for its breathtaking location in the Indian Ocean archipelago. During his stay, LeBron indulged in various activities such as cycling, taking leisurely strolls on the beach, admiring picturesque sunsets, savoring extravagant dinners, and cruising on yachts with his wife, Savannah, and their loved ones.
The NBA player recently posted some snaps on his Instagram Stories that revealed his mode of transportation – a customized DHC-6-300 Twin Otter by Four Seasons. This aircraft offers a range of services including airport transfers, private charters, island-hopping excursions, and seaplane surfaris for guests staying at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. The DHC-6 Twin Otter is a Canadian STOL aircraft that was produced from 1965 to 1998 and is currently marketed as the Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter. Viking Air acquired the type certificate and resumed production in 2008.
The DH-6-300 is a model that boasts a length of 51 ft 9 in (15.77 m) and a height of 19 ft 6 in (5.94 m). It can comfortably accommodate up to twenty passengers as well as one or two cockpit crew members. The aircraft is equipped with two Pratt Whitney PT6A-27 engines that can propel it to reach a maximum cruise speed of 175 knots (201 mph/ 324 kph). Its maximum range is approximately 580 nautical miles (667 mi/ 1074 km). Following a disappointing season with the Lakers, the four-time champion expressed his disappointment through a tweet last week. He has been in the league for more than 18 years and missing the playoffs for the fourth time was a major blow. He wrote, “I can’t afford to miss the post-season again in my career! It’s painful. Okay, time to get back to watching the games.” However, he also found solace in spending quality time with his loved ones.
