Customizable itinerary
Embark on an unforgettable 9-day journey from Bali to Labuan Bajo, where you will immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of cultural insights and breathtaking natural beauty.
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.

Reviews on Our Service
Family trip to Vietnam
We have just come back from a fabulous 16 day trip to Vietnam organised by Chloe from Asia Pioneer. We travelled from Hanoi, to Sapa had a night in Hanlong Bay then flew to central Vietnam for a few days and then flew down to Ho Chi Min and travelled down to Mekong Delta so we certainly saw a lot of the country. We travelled with our 2 teenage kids and the full itinerary Chloe organised was perfect for us. So many memorable experiences, trekking through the scenic hillside in Sapa, local markets, overnight train to Hanoi, cooking classes, bike ridding through small villages, walking food tour and the tunnels in Ho Chi Min, these were just some of the wonderful things we experienced.
Everything was so well organised, once we arrived we didn’t have to worry about a thing everything ran smoothly. All the guides that we had a long way were fantastic and add to our experience. The hotels exceeded our expectations and I especially loved the cute little bungalows we stayed on on the Mekong River.
I would definitely recommend Vietnam for a family holiday with teenagers. And I would certainly recommend Chloe from Asia Pioneer.
Fantastic Experiance
We went on the “Best of Vietnam and Cambodia Tour” and it was a fantastic trip. Mr. Winston our travel advisor created a trip with the sites and places we wanted to see. Mr. Winston was always available on WhatsApp to inform us of when we would be picked up and by whom.
Every part of the trip went smoothly.
I learned so much about life in Vietnam and ate great food.
I am a vegetarian and it was easy finding vegetarian food and seafood options at the hotel breakfasts and included lunches.
The hotels were boutique hotels in great locations near restaurants and shopping.
We want to specifically thank our guide in Hoi An Mr. Chong. He went above and beyond the expected to show us restaurants, and help us with a magical lantern boat ride and lantern release on the Hoai river.
I am very happy with Asia Pioneer Travel and would definitely recommend them to anyone going to Vietnam and Cambodia.
A great way to see Cambodia – the Asia Pioneer Travel way
The pick up, tour guides, hotels selection were great.
Everything went off as promised.
It was a great experience and we thoroughly relaxed and just enjoyed the Cambodia experience.
Amazing Vietnam! Must visit!
Cherry planned the trip perfectly. We went to HCM, Hanoi and Halong Bay. She was very accommodating with all the changes. Loved every minute of it 🙂
