1. Ride a Military Jeep in the Vietnamese Countryside
Explore Vietnam’s farmland and forests in a retro style military Jeep. This is an opportunity to go off the beaten track and discover authentic Southern Vietnamese villages which are home to cricket farms and rubber tree plantations as well as the famous Cu Chi Tunnels which were used by Viet Cong soldiers during the Vietnam War.
2. Cycle on the Edge of an Indonesian Volcano
Indonesia’s sweeping green valleys and towering volcanoes are the perfect backdrop for exciting two-wheeled adventures. We love heading out for a morning bike ride through lush Balinese landscapes and villages, starting from the edge of a volcano and pedaling downhill through orange plantations, rice fields and rainforest valleys.
3. Go Quad Biking in Siem Reap
Jump on a quad bike for a fun and bumpy off-road adventure in the countryside of Siem Reap. Watch local life unfold in the rice paddies and villages and discover the “real Cambodia” beyond the Angkorian temples. Follow dirt tracks and backroads, passing through fields lined with palm trees and stop by a morning market to sample local snacks.
4. Get a High Energy Muay Thai Boxing Workout
Get your heart pumping with a fun and energetic workout at a rooftop training venue in downtown Bangkok. Learn to punch and kick like a champion Muay Thai (Thai boxing) fighter with help from a specialized personal fitness trainer. After the high-energy session, soothe your mind, body and soul with a Pure Blend Oil Body Massage and a well-earned smoothie.
5. Trek Waterfalls and Plantations in Southern Laos
In the southern corner of Laos, the mighty Mekong River diverges around the crags of 4,000 islands, creating a dramatic and diverse eco-system – perfect for active outdoors adventures, from jungle treks in the nearby Bolaven Plateau to off-road bike rides across rugged island terrain and plantation hikes to small coffee farms and remote ethnic villages.
