Asia

Asia is a lot. Like, genuinely a lot. You've got ancient temples in Cambodia sitting a few hours from neon-soaked Tokyo nightlife, volcanic rice terraces in Bali, and beach parties in Thailand that go until the sun comes back up. It's the kind of continent that ruins you for everywhere else.

Asia tours for every kind of adventurer

Whether you're here for the food (valid), the history, the chaos, or all three at once, there's a version of Asia that's going to wreck your plans in the best possible way. Budget goes further here than almost anywhere else on earth. And the range is genuinely unmatched.

We sell tours and packages across South East Asia and East Asia, covering everything from island-hopping through the Philippines to cherry blossom season in Japan. Browse by destination below, or talk to the team if you're not sure where to start (we have opinions).

Where do you want to go?

Bali is the one everyone talks about, and honestly the hype is earned. Temples, rice terraces, surf breaks, and a food scene that keeps getting better. You could spend two weeks here and not scratch the surface.

Thailand does everything well: beaches in the south, mountains and trekking in the north, and Bangkok in the middle doing exactly what Bangkok does (you'll see). The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan is still one of those things that has to be experienced to make sense.

Vietnam and Cambodia together make one of the great overland routes. Halong Bay in the north, Hoi An in the middle, Saigon in the south, then across the border to Angkor Wat. It sounds like a lot and it is, in the best possible way.

The Philippines is still the one that surprises people most. Over 7,600 islands and somehow still flying under the radar compared to the rest of South East Asia. The diving around Palawan is some of the best in the world, full stop.

Sri Lanka packs an absurd amount into a country you can cross in a few hours: surf towns, tea country, ancient ruins, and wildlife that genuinely delivers. And Japan is in a category of its own. Nothing quite prepares you for it.

How backpacking Asia actually works

A lot of people combine two or three countries in one trip. Thailand into Cambodia into Vietnam is a classic. Bali works as a standalone week or as part of a longer South East Asia run. Japan pairs surprisingly well with a South East Asia leg if you've got the time, and the contrast between the two makes both feel even more distinct.

We can help you piece it together, whether you want a set itinerary or something more flexible. Check the Asia deals page for current offers, or get in touch and we'll sort something out.
