4 Activities You Have to Try While Traveling Southeast Asia

If you’ve always dreamed of traveling Southeast Asia, now might be the right time to finally make those dreams a reality.

You may only get one chance to visit this incredible part of the world so you want to make sure you see as many of the highlights of the region as you can. You want to see lots of different countries, visit the important temples, and try out the local cuisine.

But you’re also looking to learn about more unique experiences. Read on to learn about the experiences that definitely belong on your list of things to do on your Southeast Asia trip.

1. See Singapore’s Supertrees

One of the best things to do on your Southeast Asia trip is to visit Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.

While there, be sure to check out the illuminated solar-powered Supertrees.

They’re great for photos and definitely make you feel like you’re living in a science fiction novel. The supertrees are packed with vertical gardens containing some of the region’s most stunning flowers, all in one place. Plus, they offer tired tourists some much-needed shade.

2. Raft in Malaysia

If you’re traveling Southeast Asia in search of adventure, make sure you put rafting in Malaysia’s Kota Kinbalu National Park on your bucket list.

The rapids there provide experiences for all different levels of rafting experience, including a leisurely sightseeing tour on a traditional bamboo raft. Go anywhere from April to October for the best rides.

3. See Komodo Dragons in Indonesia

Once you’re done booking hotel stays for your trip, look for Southeast Asia tours that’ll take you to Indonesia so you can see the Komodo dragons.

The Komodo National Park is one of the 7 New Natural Wonders of the World, so the scenery is already tough to beat.

In addition to actually having a chance to see Komodo dragons in person, you can also hike through beautiful trails and even go scuba diving.

4. Head to Hoi An

Vietnam is one of the most popular countries in Southeast Asia for tourism, and stunning cities like Hoi An make it easy to understand why.

This village is home to classic wooden houses and countless ancient architectural wonders. It’s the perfect place to combine old-world charm with luxurious hotels and unique experiences.

Especially if you’re interested in having a suit tailored just for you, this is the place to go. We suggest a boat tour at night to experience all the city’s beauty.
