Customizable itinerary
Bali and Labuan Bajo islands make the perfect combination which will offer you both cultural and natural experiences. In Bali, you will first tour around Ubud – the cultural centre of the island and then to the central and south of the island for its famous temples. You will fly from Bali to Labuan Bajo, where you will embark on a day-trip to see the giant lizards – Komodo dragon. These huge lizards are what have attracted visitors to this region in the first place. But you will explore the place offers more than that as you spend time diving in the fresh water and observing the extremely diverse marine life. Jimbaran will be your last stop on the trip, enjoy the town’s idyllic beach and delicious seafood before you leave.
A warm greeting awaits at Bali International Airport; your private guide and driver will meet you at the arrival lounge and take you directly to your hotel. Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions along the way and will assist you with check-in and registration at the hotel.
After a short rest, we will drive from the south of Bali to Ubud. The Balinese kings, benevolent to the arts, transformed their court seat into a true global village. Ubud shops, galleries and craft shops blend traditional arts and crafts with modern design. Visiting European artists, attracted by the lure of an untouched tropical paradise, were encouraged to stay. They gave new impetus to the existing local arts while creating some exciting new forms in the process. This atmosphere reverbs to this day. A visit to Ubud means indulging in the local arts, visiting the ancient temples and enjoying the archetypical Balinese surroundings of steep gorges and sculpted rice fields.
Enjoy morning breakfast and day at your leisure to enjoy at the resort or self-explore the beautiful surrounding.

Amazing adventure
Our trip to Thailand planed by Cherry was amazing. She listened to all our wants and made it happen. Three cities in 9 days. It was the most magical trip your our family of four!
Amazing and worth it
My family and I stumbled across Asia Pioneer and we had the wonderful Chloe as our travel agent for our Vietnam/Thailand trip. Everything was organised for us, from the itinerary, to accommodation, tour guides, drivers, flights and activities.
It costed quite a bit, however well worth it if you don’t want to worry about having to organise anything.
I highly recommend!!!
My only feedback would be that the payment system with Asia Pioneer is not straight forward and they invoice and quote in US $ so if you are from other countries tries the conversion rates and credit card fees etc become quite confusing and it ends up costing more than expected.
They request a 30% deposit upfront which is fine, but then you pay another amount a month th before the trip, and then the final amount in cash on the day of arriving in Vietnam.
I recommend you get the cash out in your country before arriving to Vietnam as the ATM’s only allow you to get out a very small amount (3 million vietnamese dong) at a time.
However other than that, highly recommend !!
Amazingly amazing!
Customer Service: The service was amazing from start to finish. APT was in constant communication with me. They were patient, flexible, and accommodating. They understood what I wanted to see and things I wasn’t interested in. They were never pushy. The tour guides they provided were also amazing. Prompt, funny, super informative, and advocated for us every step of the way…sometimes changing our itineraries to better fit our needs. The tour guides also understood that by day 9 we were exhausted and needed some R&R.
Price: The price was very affordable. We were 3 teachers on winter break so you know we’re not made out of $$$. The hotels they provided were affordable and lovely, very close to all the spots.
Vietnam: What can I say? I want to live there!!!
Overall Experience: 5 stars! I will be booking with APT for our next trip. 10 days was not enough!
Honeymoon trip to Indochina
Vietnam was our honeymoon trip and Adam from Asia pioneer made sure that we were well taken care of everywhere we went, the staff, the guides, everyone was so helpful and understanding to our concerns. The halong bay cruise was the highlight of the whole trip with special requests to the staff of decor in our room which was a surprise to us. Adam curated a trip according to our likes and made sure we were comfortable throughout the 10 day program. Thank you for one of the best trip of our lives!
