The application process is simple.

Our team will follow up with instructions on how to pay your deposit to reserve your seat, along with guidance to complete your application.

If the trip is cancelled because it didn't reach the minimum number of people before the deadline (around 1 month before the trip), you will receive a full refund minus any bank and card fees.

Note: Bank and card fees are typically around 5% of the total amount, though this may vary depending on your bank and the card used. 

Important: Please hold on booking your flights until you receive the greenlight confirmation from our support team.

You can pay the full amount upfront, choose a $99 deposit followed by three installment payments, or if you’re booking well in advance, set up a custom extended payment plan. 

If you choose to pay for your trip in installments, you agree to adhere to the following payment schedule:

• 90 Days Prior to Trip: 50% of Trip Cost Due

• 60 Days Prior to Trip: 75% of Trip Cost Due

Malaysia's cuisine is a reflection of the country's rich multicultural heritage. Influenced by Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Indigenous traditions, its food is a vibrant fusion of bold spices, aromatic herbs, fresh seafood, and diverse regional flavours. From bustling hawker centres and lively night markets to family-run eateries, every meal offers a delicious glimpse into the cultures that make Malaysia one of Southeast Asia's most celebrated food destinations.  

Throughout the trip, a selection of recommended restaurants will be available to choose from.

Not at all! You’ll certainly have the option to explore a destination’s nightlife, but there’s absolutely no pressure to join in. In most groups, there’ll be a good mix of people who like to party and people who like to take it easy. Your Trip Manager will have this in mind, and they can suggest lots of night time activities that don’t involve drinking.

The trip starts in Kuala Lumpur and ends in Langkawi.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
