See all Hiking & Trekking toursOur most popular active tours across Southeast Asia run between 18 and 24 days, giving you a proper mix of cycling through villages, kayaking near Halong Bay's limestone cliffs and exploring temples on foot. Travelers really enjoy starting their mornings with surf lessons at Red Island before heading out to meet local fishing communities. The family homestays in rural Cambodia and Vietnam are consistently rated as trip highlights - you'll eat with local families and learn how they've farmed their land for generations. We've worked in some unique experiences like rides on the bamboo train in Battambang and hands-on cooking classes in Hoi An where you'll pick herbs straight from local gardens. The Mekong Delta sections are carefully mapped out with bicycle routes past fruit orchards, stops at floating markets and nights in traditional houses built on stilts. Our customers appreciate having free time to wander through Luang Prabang's night markets or take optional trips to nearby waterfalls. For those interested in wildlife, the elephant sanctuary visits near Mandalao let you walk alongside rescued elephants in their natural environment - no riding or unethical practices involved. Water activities are a big part too, from snorkeling the clear waters of Ang Thong Marine Park to exploring Bangkok's quiet canals by longtail boat. We keep groups small, usually 8-12 people, which our travelers say creates just the right balance between making new friends and getting personal attention from the guides.
See all Active toursOur bike tours through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand run 12-21 days with gentle daily rides of 30-50km on flat ground. The Mekong Delta's back roads are perfect for cycling - you'll pass rice fields, fruit farms and pop into local workshops and homes along the way. Some routes take you around Angkor's temples and through the villages near Battambang. The support vans follow along and our local teams make sure everyone's comfortable; you just need basic fitness to join in. There's always time to stop for fresh coconuts and local treats. Our cyclists often say their favorite moments are riding across bamboo bridges and through fishing villages, where locals give them a friendly wave you'd miss in a regular tour bus.

Top operators in Far East
Looking at the feedback from our travelers, Intrepid comes out really strong with their cycling tours. Their guide Is Prapassorn gets special mentions - people appreciate how she takes care of everyone and shares deep local knowledge along the way. Bravo Indochina Tours hits the mark too, particularly when it comes to taking care of the details. Their guide Toni stands out for going above and beyond what travelers expect. The whole team seems focused on making sure everything runs smoothly. Hoi An Express offers a mixed picture. While many travelers praise their knowledgeable guides and like the hotels they use, there are some wrinkles to note. A few customers ran into problems with the bus service, and some found the daily plans weren't as clear as they could be. Between these three, each has its strengths. If you're keen on cycling, Intrepid looks solid. For attentive service and careful planning, Bravo Indochina delivers well. Hoi An Express has good bones with their guides and accommodations, though you might want to double-check the transport and daily schedule details before booking.

"Unfortunately we became aware just days before our arrival, that our travel itinerary was substantially different to the advertised itinerarty at the time of booking. We immediately notified the tour operator, however as they were in a different time zone, it often took 12-24 hours to get a response, and their whatsapp number provide was not a valid whatsapp number. We specifically booked this tour to stay in a floating bungalow on the lake, however this was not booked for us or part of our itinerary. Whislt the operator was apologetic, no explanation was provided. To the operator's credit, they have acknowledged their error, and offered a part refund, however the opportunity to stay on the lake has not passed. The regional itself is picturesque, and the accommodation at the community lodge was lovely. I would definately recommend visiting the region and staying at the community lodge, however look for a different operator.

Private / Personalized
1,754 tours in Far EastPrivate tours spanning Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand run 10-14 days and put you in control. Your dedicated guide adjusts the pace to match your interests - perhaps spending extra dawn moments at Angkor Wat or taking time to wander Hoi An's historic lanes. Having private transport means stopping whenever something catches your eye, and our travelers particularly value this flexibility to shape their days. Many mention how special it felt having their guide's full attention while exploring Halong Bay's caves, biking through Hoi An's rice fields and also discovering Bangkok's lesser-known temples.

We position you perfectly for sunrise at Angkor's temples, where our guides know exactly which spots offer the clearest views.

Demographics
Our Southeast Asian trips connect solo travelers especially well through flexible 29-day and 31-day journeys that balance group time with personal space. People love starting conversations at hostels, swimming together at Kuang Si's pools, and sharing magical moments at sunrise over Angkor Wat. With intimate groups of 8-12 travelers, the morning alms ceremony in Luang Prabang becomes more meaningful, as people form lasting connections with guides and fellow explorers. The itineraries blend structured activities with free time - you might join a cooking class in Hoi An, pedal through villages near Angkor, or navigate Bangkok's waterways by long-tail boat before spending evenings wandering night markets with newfound friends. Travelers consistently tell us that homestays in remote villages stand out, where sharing meals and cultural traditions with local families creates natural bonds. Our guides know exactly when to bring the group together and when to step back, whether you're deep in Halong Bay's limestone caves, learning at elephant sanctuaries near Chiang Mai, or drifting along the Mekong Delta.
These Southeast Asian couple-focused journeys stretch across 25-31 days, giving partners time to share meaningful moments from dawn prayers at Angkor Wat to family dinners in Mekong Delta homes. Our travelers often tell us how their evenings in Halong Bay brought peaceful moments under the stars, while dawn alms ceremonies in Luang Prabang connected them to local traditions. Cycling through Hoi An's countryside leads couples past emerald rice fields to artisan workshops, and village hosts welcome pairs into their daily lives with cooking sessions, craft making and also cultural exchanges. With intimate groups of 8-12 travelers, couples receive individual attention as they discover ancient temples, vibrant markets, mountain communities and also local cuisines. Personal guides add depth to every experience, whether you're exploring Bangkok's temples, paddling through limestone caves or learning family recipes in local homes - giving partners freedom to explore these rich cultural landscapes at their own tempo.
The 25-31 day Southeast Asian journeys hit the sweet spot for young adult travelers, mixing guided activities with plenty of independent exploration time. You'll get nights out in Bangkok's buzzing streets, lazy days on Cambodia's Koh Rong beaches and food adventures through Hanoi's Old Quarter. Our travelers often tell us they love meeting people at the hostels and backpacker spots - whether swimming in Kuang Si's blue pools or catching sunrise at Angkor Wat. The itinerary keeps things moving nicely - one day you're learning to make noodles in Hoi An and the next you're checking out massive caves in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
Our 10-21 day itineraries really work for senior travelers, balancing cultural experiences with a comfortable pace. The morning alms in Luang Prabang, Mekong Delta floating markets and quiet Angkor temples away from crowds are consistently popular stops. The hotels are just right - clean, central and well-equipped. Our experienced local guides make a big difference, sharing deep historical knowledge at places like Hanoi's Temple of Literature and helping navigate local customs too. Small groups of 8-12 people mean you can have good conversations and also get to know your fellow travelers properly.
Our Southeast Asian trips running 18-25 days work really well for families wanting to dive into local culture. Kids get excited about hands-on activities like making rice paper in Mekong Delta villages and learning about elephant care near Chiang Mai. The Halong Bay overnight cruise is usually a family favorite - you can kayak through limestone caves and try catching squid right off the boat deck. Our guides know how to adjust the pace for different ages, whether you're cycling through Hoi An's rice fields or exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City. Staying with local families in rural villages gives everyone a chance to connect with local kids and share authentic home-cooked meals.
