"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Bali, Jakarta, Ubud

Highlights

  • Embark on a cycling trip through the backcountry of Yogyakarta. A world of flower-studded fields and smiling locals, this cultural centre is one of South East Asia’s standout destinations.
  • Take a guided walk through the jungle and rice paddies of Seloliman Nature Reserve, then sit back, relax and soak up the ambience under the stars as a small group.
  • Climbing Mt Bromo in the early hours of the morning is an adventure to remember. If the conditions are right, you'll be rewarded with a dazzling view over mist-laden volcanoes.
  • Get behind the scenes of some of Java's fascinating local industries – from coffee, cocoa and palm sugar to traditional Javanese medicine of jamu.
  • Balance out all of the activity and adventure with plenty of time to chill out away from the crowds at beachside paradise of Pemuteran on Bali’s less-visited north coast.

Southeast Asia Tour Selection Trips

  • Every major country in Southeast Asia is worthy of a visit on its own, so consider limiting your tours to one or two countries.
  • A good way to combine two countries is via a Mekong River cruise that sails through both Vietnam and Cambodia.
  • Small ship sea-going vessels are ideal for island-hopping through Indonesia and the Philippines
  • Study up on local customs and taboos before heading off on your Southeast Asia tour; for instance, never say anything negative about the king of Thailand or touch a Buddhist monk.  
  • Indonesia, Malaysia, and parts of the Philippines are majority Muslim, so you may want to avoid traveling there during the month of Ramadan, when Muslims don’t eat between sunrise and sunset.
  • While the weather is generally tropical in Southeast Asia, check the rainy versus dry seasons before booking a tour.  
  • April is the hottest month in Bangkok, when it can get stifling.
  • Wildlife safaris -- in search of komodo dragons, orangutans, tropical birds, and more – are an often overlooked tour possibility throughout much of the region.
  • While Bangkok and other Southeast Asian cities are essential stops, be sure to choose tours that also visit the countryside, where the modern hasn’t yet overwhelmed the traditional.
