Rachel, Gwen, Mary, Elizabeth, Carol and Helene traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar (Burma) for 23 days in January 2015, organized by Jack

We are a group of six well-traveled women, all of whom agree that our trip to South East Asia arranged by Audley was simply terrific. Our ambitious itinerary was planned with Jack’s creative input and attention to every detail. In addition to our visits to the many religious and cultural sites, our trip was full of adventures, including a hot air balloon ride at dawn in Bagan and a surprise visit with a family living on Inle Lake in Myanmar, a boat trip down the Mekong River from Thailand to Laos, an overnight cruise on Halong Bay, Vietnam aboard a private South China “junk” (the photo is of our group enjoying cocktails on the Bhaya Legend), and a nighttime food tour excursion in Saigon on the back of Vespas. Our thanks to Audley Travel and Jack for making our trip such an exceptional experience.

Borneo

I recommend visiting - Places to visit in Borneo

Borneo

Lankayan Island is a great destination and your typical 'Robinson Crusoe' island situated about one and a half hours of the coast of Sandakan in the Sulu Sea.

Due to its close proximity to Turtle Island you are likely to see many turtles when you are snorkelling or diving on the house reef and the resort also has a small hatchery where you can see hatchlings being released into the sea.

This small idyllic island is a great place to spend a few days relaxing before continuing your wildlife experience.

First Class

Myanmar (Burma)

I recommend staying at - Sandoway Resort

Myanmar (Burma)

Sandoway Resort located on Ngapali beach in the Bay of Bengal, Myanmar, is arguably one of the best resorts in the area with miles of pristine sand and very few tourists in comparison to the more developed beach destinations of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. The resort is the ideal place to end your trip with a few days rest and relaxation in this intriguing and colourful country.

Bako National Park covers 2,742 hectares of a rugged sand stone peninsula to the east of the Bako River near Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. Millions of years of erosion have created an impressive and breathtaking coastline of steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocks into fantastically shaped sea arches and seastacks.

The coastline is also dotted by a sandstone cliff vegetation characteristic of Bako. Other major vegetation types include the mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, peat swamp forest, kerangas (heath) forest, and kerangas scrub on the plateau; it's possible to see just about every type of vegetation found on Borneo at Bako National Park.

Well worth a visit even to experience the novel way to enter the park- from the sea.
