As a luxury travel company committed to providing the highest quality, they treat each traveler as an individual. As no two people are the same, then none of their trips are the same.  They serve those who want to have a genuine experience, to see the destination for what it truly is. Those who demand or expect the best of things, knowing that what makes or breaks your vacation are in the fine details.

1. Who Will Enjoy Traveling with Exotic Voyages?

Travelers who enjoy a certain degree of comfort, gravitate to luxurious private experiences, are open minded and culturally curious about the Southeast Asian region of the world will love the balance created on an Exotic Voyages trip.

They cater for every age of traveler, from the young to the young at heart. Whether you are 20 or 80, their experts work hard to understand you and deliver based on what you are looking for.

The average trip price is around $3,000 - the focus being on luxury and high end travel, which they understand intimately both from an expectation standpoint and a connection to the best available accommodations and activities.

2. Which is better? Exotic Voyages or a US/European based travel agency?

- First, most US/European based travel agencies only act as middle man and subcontract their clients to local agencies like them. They rely on local tour operators to run the operation at the destinations.

- Dealing with Exotic Voyages means you work directly with local travel experts who have lived and traveled extensively throughout the region.

- They have their own operation offices in all of their destinations which allow them to make sure everything runs smoothly on the ground and react quickly should there be any issue.

- Their customers love them, you can see what they say about their services. The press loves them as well, they have been featured in many trusted publications. You also can learn more about the story of Exotic Voyages and the people behind the brand.

3. Top Destinations

Exotic Voyages specializes in Southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia.

Single country trips are available, but the most popular are multi-country excursions throughout the Southeast Asia region.

They pride themselves on providing travelers with once-in-a-lifetime memories and experiences, and are also deeply committed to sustaining the beautiful locales they feature for generations to come.

They pride themselves on providing you with once-in- a-lifetime memories and experiences, but they are also deeply committed to sustaining these beautiful locales for generations to come.
