Southeast Asia Tour Packages

We run two very different trips in Southeast Asia. The Indochina Heritage Trail is a cultural tour of three countries in fourteen days: a night on a junk in Ha Long Bay, the old trading town of Hoi An, two days among the temples of Angkor, and Bangkok's Grand Palace. It is easy going, close to sea level throughout, and runs in the dry season from November to April.

The Bali, Mount Bromo and Komodo expedition is ten days of something more active across Indonesia: sunrise over the Bromo caldera, a 1am walk to see Ijen's blue fire, two nights in Ubud, then two nights on a wooden boat among the Komodo islands. It runs in Indonesia's dry season, April to October. Both trips fly the long distances so the days are spent on the ground.

At a glance

When to goNovember to April for Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand; April to October for Java, Bali and Komodo. Between them, the region has a dry season all year.
Getting thereThe Indochina trip starts in Hanoi and ends in Bangkok; the Indonesia trip starts in Surabaya and ends in Labuan Bajo. Internal flights in between are part of each itinerary.
VisasEach country sets its own rules by passport. Vietnam and Cambodia use e-visas, Indonesia a visa on arrival or e-visa for many nationalities; Thailand varies most. Check before you book.
How longTen days for the Indonesian islands, fourteen for three countries of Indochina. Either can be extended or run privately.

Southeast Asia: common questions

Which Southeast Asia tour should I choose?

For temples, old towns and cities at an easy pace, the 14-day Indochina Heritage Trail. For volcanoes, early starts, snorkelling and a boat, the 10-day Bali, Mount Bromo and Komodo expedition.

When is the best time to visit Southeast Asia?

It depends where. Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand are best in the dry season from November to April, most comfortable December to February. Java, Bali and Komodo are best in Indonesia's dry season, April to October.

How fit do I need to be?

For the Indochina trip, able to walk two to three hours in heat. The Indonesia trip is moderate: two pre-dawn volcano walks, a steep sunrise hike on Padar, and open-water snorkelling, so you need to be a confident swimmer.

Do I need visas for these trips?

Probably, and it depends on your passport. Visas are not included in either trip. We send a checklist when you book; each country's official immigration site is the final word.

Can these trips be run privately?

Yes. Either route can run as a private trip on your own dates, with extra days where you want them — more time at Angkor or in Bali are the usual requests.
