Our Far East Explorient tour features 14 days of pure exhilaration – boasting an uncommon adventure comprised of bustling cityscapes, an invigorating mountain retreat, fantastic wildlife adventures and a blissful beach escape, promising you memories of a lifetime!
This action-packed itinerary begins by touching down in Hong Kong, a city of paramount sophistication, a paradise of culinary delights, and a mecca of boundless entertainment. For three unforgettable days, you have the world virtually at your fingertips in the city that never sleeps. From towering skyscrapers to colorful night markets, stunning views at Victoria Peak to bargain hunting at Stanley Market, the world’s finest cuisines to irresistible eateries that line the streets. Whatever your wish for the most memorable vacation, the “Pearl of the Orient” fulfills it spectacularly.
Continue to Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia’s most exhilarating and exotic destinations, where glittering skyscrapers and ancient temples coexist in complete harmony. Here, we hit the Thai Capital’s must-sees, including the Royal Grand Palace, Wat Trimit, Wat Pho and the Floating Market, yet still leave plenty of free time to relax and define your own version of Bangkok. Take a cooking lesson at one of the city’s famous cooking schools and bring home Thailand’s culinary secrets; trek, bike or fly (zip-line) through Bangkok’s countryside of coconut plantations and virgin rainforests; or just sit back and enjoy a glass of wine at a rooftop jazz bar overlooking the gleaming Thai capital – the city caters to every whim and to everyone.
Last but certainly not least, Bali. Feel your body and soul transcend to a whole new dimension as you touch down in this beautiful tropical island paradise. The friendly and remarkably artistic people, living amid breathtaking panoramas, have created a dynamic society with unique arts and ceremonies, making Bali an island almost unreal in today’s hectic and changing world.
From glittering skyscrapers to virgin jungles, alluring temples to golden beaches, heart-warming hospitality to exotic wildlife. Your trip of a lifetime awaits.
