Experience one of Asia’s ultimate contrasts on this 9-day trip encompassing Phuket and Hong Kong. Stretch out and relax on an island that combines the best of Thai culture and natural beauty, before diving into one of the world’s most thrilling world cities.
If you can’t relax in Phuket… never mind. Once you catch a glimpse of its perfect white sand beaches, enjoy your first real Thai massage, visit your first local temple or taste Southern Thailand’s cuisine, you’ll instantly feel a world away from the cares of home. Enjoy a full day at leisure to unwind and explore, then let pick up a paddle and spend your next day canoeing around beautiful Phang Nga Bay. Sea caves, tunnels, and lagoons are all ripe for exploration before you enjoy a Thai buffet lunch, with time to swim and relax on Lawa Island. Enjoy another couple days at leisure on Phuket before flying on to Hong Kong.
Talk about contrasts? There’s nothing relaxed about Hong Kong, and you’ll love it just for that! Spend your arrival day acclimating to the pace and diversity of Asia’s World City. The next day, explore this vibrant city at your leisure before joining in on an evening highlight tour when the city really starts to sparkle. The following day, take a different kind of tour, focused on one of Hong Kong’s biggest attractions – its food! Visit a variety of locally owned and operated cafes and restaurants, sampling staple dishes as well as drinks, snacks, and sweet treats. You’ll learn a lot about the historic streets of Central along the way. Again, this tour lasts just a few hours, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore more on your own.
