See Luang Prabang’s ornate temples then move on to Vang Vieng, where you’ll get your adrenaline pumping with a day of caves, kayaks and ziplines! Next up is Vietnam - float past Halong’s legendary limestone karsts, get treated to a homemade family meal in Hanoi, snorkel with iridescent marine life off Mun Island, hop on the back of a motorbike to see Dalat’s serene countryside, and so much more. After an important glimpse into Phnom Penh’s troubled past, wrap up in Siem Reap to discover the once lost Temples of Angkor.

Weeks 9-12  Group Adventure Tour: Thailand to Malaysia, Singapore & Indonesia
With a few more stamps in your passport, meet your G Adventures group for the meandering journey south. See some of Thailand’s most breath-taking beaches as you make your way down the gulf, through the azure waters and dense rainforest of Khao Sok Marine Park and the white sands of Koh Samui. Say cheers to Thailand over sunset drinks and get ready to tick off another country, Malaysia. Feast on some of Asia’s finest street food in the colourful lanes of Penang, and experience a local family’s warm hospitality at a rural homestay. Take advantage of the Cameron Highland’s cooler temperatures to hike forest trails in search of the world’s largest flower, before soaking up the famous skylines of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Accompanied by your group and guide, fly to Jakarta for the last leg of your adventure. Dive deep into Indonesia’s serene countryside, visiting floating villages and tea plantations, learning the thousand year history of Yogyakarta’s intricate temples, and challenging yourself to the pre-dawn hike across the Sea of Sand to Mount Bromo’s smoking crater. After giving yourself a pat on the back (and a celebratory beer) continue to the coast. For your final days exploring Indonesia’s stunning islands, perhaps enjoy a surf lesson, head below the waves scuba diving or simply while away the hours in a hammock. Complete your unforgettable journey through Asia with a big night out with your new lifelong friends before heading home or perhaps taking on more travel.
