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.

The rest of the day will be at your leisure.

Thanks to Asia Pioneer Travels for my fantastic trip to Vietnam and Thailand. They assigned both a driver and local guide expert to meet me at every destination on the itinerary they created for me based on my preferences. They made all lodging and domestic flight reservations as well. They also checked with me throughout the trip to make sure I got to where I wanted to go. As such I saw these beautiful countries never having to worry about my sightseeing schedule.

Vietnam family tour

Using Asia Pioneer travel company for our family’s 2 generation recent Vietnam trip was the best decision we possibly could’ve made. Their well-informed, organized and fun English speaking guides made our trip exceed all our expectations. From the time they met us at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City they filled our days with the culture and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. We experienced Vietnam history, beauty and amazing food. Enjoying both the city and the countryside. Our journey took us from south Vietnam to north. Each step of the journey was filled with amazement. Don’t hesitate to hire them if you are considering a trip to Vietnam.

Excellent private tour arranged

Maris at Asia Pioneer Travel arranged outr2 week tour of Vietnam. From first contact, to a detailed itinerary, seamless arrival to departure she was our absolute go to.

She designed a tour exactly what we wanted. She listened to us and gave choices of hotels & experiences. No large group tours or bus rides. All private guides, clean & comfortable vans & excellent accommodation. I would 100% highly recommend Maris & Asia Pioneer Travel for a trip through Asia.

She even took time out of her personal schedule to meet us in her home city. A great catch up & nice to put a face to the voice over the line.

Thanks again Maris for ensuring we had a wonderful time visiting Vietnam. We will definitely be back!!!

Five star experience!!!

An excellent experience with fantastic customer service.

At the last minute, myself, husband and 12 year old daughter decided to visit Vietnam. With only 3-4 weeks to go we found Winston and within 24 hours we had an itinerary! Winston listened to what we wanted and certainly delivered. We didn’t want to tour in a group, but we did want a guide and driver. Our tour was personalised to meet our family’s needs.

We flew into HMC and met Lucy who looked after us with such care as we visited the city then out to the Meekong Delta.

Next we flew to HoiAn and met Cuong, again we were so well cared for. We then flew to Hanoi and met Marcus who was awesome.

All our guides were amazing, knowledgeable, and always included our daughter. It felt like travelling with friends. I will also mention that we felt safe with our drivers and very comfortable in our private mini buses.

Lastly, we did a cruise in Halong Bay and as it was my husband’s birthday, Winston had arranged a surprise celebration on the boat. It’s things like this that you remember forever.

Vietnam is an amazing place to visit, the people are so friendly and we had zero negative experiences.

Visas, internal flights, accommodation and activities were all organised for us, no stress at all.

We will certainly use Asia Pioneer Travel again.
