ITINERARY
Tour image

Start in Thailand & Cambodia  
Touch down in Bangkok and get to know the other people on your group adventure tour while checking out the local bars. With your local guide leading the way, cross the border into Cambodia and explore the majestic temples of Angkor Wat, learn of the country’s tragic past in Phnom Penh and see the glowing plankton off the coast of Koh Rong.                  

Continue through Vietnam, Laos & more of Thailand
Next up, Vietnam! Venture through ancient cities and sunsoaked beaches, and cruise the unbeatable scenery of Halong Bay. Lesser visited Laos brings lush green paddy fields and mountainous valleys, where you can cycle, kayak or share a beer with your travelling buddies. Swim in the azure waters of Kuang Si Falls before embarking on the tranquil boat journey to north Thailand’s hot springs, night markets and noodles, and complete your Indochina loop in Bangkok.                    

Head to Australia            
Leaving your group behind, arrive in Australia and activate your Greyhound Whimit Pass. Their flexible travel pass and extensive coach network allows you to go where the whim takes you. Travel the east coast, ticking off bucket list experiences as you go, with your included Byron Bay surf camp, 2 day Whitsundays sailing and Great Barrier Reef snorkelling. Plus, you’ve got 10 open dated nights in any Base or Nomads hostel for where and when you need them.                  

The Rest of Your Gap Year!  
The world is your oyster. See more of Australia, activate your working holiday visa to set up life down under, or perhaps hop over to New Zealand or Fiji. Wherever your adventures take you, Trailfinders Travel Academy are on hand 24/7/365 to get you moving.
