This trip was all I dreamed of and more! Summiting Mt Fuji was at the top on my list, next was eating all the amazing seafood! We had a great group with exceptionally good guides - which made this trip the adventure I was looking for and much more! Thank you G for helping me attain this goal and dream!
Was a great tour, could have been better with longer hikes and more demanding activities. Some of the hikes were only 45 mins long and took up the entire morning to organise. Was expecting more for them. It’s a new tour so needs to be tweaked to made better for the active people doing it. No point in having an active tour that is not very active. When we did snorkelling the CEO seemed a bit nervous of the whole situation. Not sure if he was the right person for the active tour.
It’s not every day you can say you’ve travelled a country from top to bottom — but on this 20-day active adventure, you’ll explore Japan from its northernmost tip to its sunny southern islands. Kick things off in Kyoto and Tokyo, with city walks and scenic day hikes before heading way off the beaten path. Explore Hokkaido’s rugged national parks, then hop over to Okinawa’s tropical paradise for biking, hiking, and kayaking. Refuel with mouthwatering dishes unique to each region and unwind in traditional Japanese onsens. Who says you can’t have it all?
The tour guide was great. I enjoyed the rural aspects of the tour. There wasn't enough of it, though. Shiretoku NP is a gem. There wasn't enough of it, though. Six nights in cities was five nights too many. I'm done. You get my drift.
This trip was a very positive experience that provided an excellent overview of Japan. The guides were excellent, the activities were great and safe, and the hotels were air conditioned and comfortable. I appreciated the washing machines and dryers in every hotel.
We had a truly special trip, during which we experienced so many firsts. The whole trip felt unique and off the beaten tourist track. Our time in Tokyo, surrounded by tourists, really highlighted just how special and intimate the time on the Okinawa and Ishigaki islands was. Our cultural excursions were of such a high quality compared with anything you can book yourself online. Having our CEO open the door into this amazing culture was invaluable to us and allowed us to access many experiences that would not have been available without a guide.
It’s easy to forget that Japan stretches over 2,000 miles, and there’s way more to explore beyond the typical tourist spots. This 10-day island-hopping adventure kicks off in Kyoto before heading southwest to the paradise of Ishigaki Island. After soaking in the history and charm of Kyoto, make your way to Okinawa for thrilling day hikes, sea kayaking, and cycling through Yambaru National Park, Taketomi, and Iriomote Islands. Recharge with Okinawa’s famous lifestyle and delicious cuisine — known for helping locals live some of the longest, healthiest lives on the planet. Get ready to explore Japan in a whole new way.
Yes, but first I forgot to mention about the first boat trip!! One of the guys suggested people could swim, and there were only two of us that really could swim, and there were people that had to be dragged back to the boat in their life, vest!!! Not really sure why someone didn’t stop them and give them a clear picture of what the swim would be like!!! So maybe next time on that first one it could be a kayak or a swim for strong swimmers!? Joseph was great, and the snorkeling and cave experiences are one of a kind!! Palawan is worth the adventure!!! Thank you for providing us the opportunity to explore new cultures & waters!!
From the heights of the Himalayas to the southern coasts of the South China Sea, winding over 2,700 miles, the Mekong is much more than just irrigation for Indochina—everywhere it flows, it fascinates men and shapes their lives. Come take an expedition on this grand and plentiful “water snake,” from Ho Chi Minh City, still largely influenced by the French colonial days, to Phnom Penh, then Tonle river, following the footsteps of Henri Mouhot. Our meditative trip takes you along the Mekong River on board a ship combining charm and colonial-style comfort.
Cast off on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure on the legendary river that begins in the mountains of Tibet and meanders through no less than six countries. The Mekong traces the authentic, profound, and mesmerizing history of Vietnam and Cambodia along its riverbanks. You'll finish your extraordinary vacation in Indochina with a discovery of Hanoï, the Vietnamese capital, and on an unforgettable cruise on the legendary Halong Bay among the fantastically formed islands, crags, and cliffs.
