This tour focuses on the artistic centers of Mas and Ubud, with the inclusion of one of Bali's most famous and intriguing dances.

First, you will see the Barong Dance, which is a traditional dance depicting the timeless theme of good versus evil. In the background, gongs and percussion instruments provide a musical accompaniment to create a meaningful experience.

Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver and English-speaking guide at your service. This exclusive tour is designed to allow you the chance to customize your time ashore and discover the most interesting sights in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle. With your private vehicle, and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will have the flexibility and independence to design your itinerary ashore according to your own interests, and take in the sights at your own pace. See the famous sights, or go beyond to create your own intimate connections and unique cultural encounters. Recommended for the single/solo traveler, couples, family, friends, and special interest groups traveling together. It can also be an excellent choice for guests with mobility limitations.

You'll travel by coach to famous Seminyak Square, located in the main shopping district with high-end restaurants and many boutique stores. You will have time to shop, explore and purchase lunch (at your own expense).

The first stop on this fascinating tour is at the famed Sangeh monkey forest, with its towering nutmeg trees. Watch hundreds of resident monkeys frolic among these trees as you enjoy the cool of the shade.

Arriving ashore, travel on foot to Komodo National Park for a walking tour in search of a fierce and rare species of reptile, the Komodo dragon.

It’s no secret that dragons are on the agenda for most people who visit the island of Komodo, but those wanting to dig a little deeper will delight in a visit to the ‘other side’ of this astounding island. Away from the dragons and surrounded by Komodo National Park is Kampung Komodo, a small village that is mostly ignored by the many visitors who come to see the island’s legendary wildlife. Arriving by tender at Loh Lian Bay’s pier in Komodo National Park, you will walk 350 yards and board a large wooden boat for a 30-minute ride to Kampung Komodo Village. Upon arrival, meet the villagers who will be excited and proud to introduce you to their customs and traditions. Visit the school and spend time with the children, speaking English and playing simple games with them.

Accompanied by park rangers and an English-speaking guide you will walk about one mile to the fenced area near Banunggulung to look for the dragons. You'll have a chance to take some photos here. Guests with less walking ability can walk partway or just stay at the ranger station where Komodo dragons are occasionally seen. An open bar with soft drinks and mineral water is available to you at the ranger station and reception area.

Absorb the city sights on this exciting evening tour that showcases the best of Singapore after dark. Begin your tour as we head to the Marina Bay Sands observation deck, situated 650 feet above ground, to enjoy a different perspective of Singapore. Located 57 storeys up from the heart of the Marina Bay area, the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck boasts scenic views of the panoramic vistas of Marina Bay and Singapore’s world-class cityscape. Try and take a bird’s-eye view of Gardens by the Bay and the impressive Supertree Grove, or admire the sea view that stretches from Marina South Pier to the Singapore Strait.

This tour offers an interesting view of life outside the city, and starts with a visit to the Tiong Bahru Wet Market to see the locals buy their daily groceries and vegetables. Next, pass by the Kranji Dam area—once a swamp used as the first landing spot for Japanese Advance Boats during World War II. The Kranji War Memorial, unveiled in 1957, overlooks the Straits of Johore and is the final resting place for many of the Allied soldiers who lost their lives in World War II. It commemorates by name more than 20,000 men and women. After lunch, you’ll visit the Bright Hill Temple, a famous place of Chinese ancestral worship. The final loop of the tour will pass the Johore Battery, built by the British in 1939. Drive through Changi Village on the way back to the pier.

Visit the impressive Gardens by the Bay—a 250-acre park that is home to more than 250,000 rare plants housed in giant domed conservatories with several different regions to discover. Step into the Flower Dome and wonder at nature merged with spectacular, innovative design. This section replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions and houses flora that thrive in these conditions. Wander through the gardens and discover all the marvels of nature and technology that make this award-winning attraction quite fascinating. Take time to visit the mysterious, mist-veiled Cloud Forest, where a 115-foot ‘mountain’ showcases the world’s tallest indoor waterfall and presents plant life from the tropical highlands (up to 6,500 feet above sea level). Next, you’ll head to the Marina Bay Sand’s observation deck, situated 650 feet above ground, to enjoy a different perspective of Singapore. Finally, enjoy a coach ride back to the cruise centre.

Next, gain insight into Singapore's history on a riverboat cruise. The Singapore River has seen 150 years of commercial activity and has been at the heart of the city's growth from an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and metropolis. A 30-minute ride on a low-slung riverboat enables you to appreciate this transformation. Today, the Singapore River is still buzzing with life and activity, but the waterfront now plays host to a colorful kaleidoscope of restaurants, wine bars, entertainment spots and retail stores. You'll also catch a glimpse, from a distance, of the famous Merlion fountain and Marina Bay Sands Hotel (weather conditions permitting).

The Night Safari is the world's first wildlife park purpose-built to be viewed at night. It is not an ordinary zoo simply illuminated by night or a modern version of nocturnal houses found in many zoos. Set in 98 acres of dense secondary forest, the Night Safari offers visitors the rather fascinating experience of observing wildlife in a tropical jungle at night.

Leaving the ship by coach, you'll begin a very relaxing panoramic tour of this tiny, but lovely, country. Singapore is an economic and social stronghold in the Pacific Rim, and as you set out to explore, you will see the Business District that is responsible for the nation's fiscal security.

In the past, sailing an America's Cup boat was only available to the racing crews themselves, but today you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing on an America's Cup yacht on the waters of Auckland -- the legendary City of Sails. This adventure offers a truly memorable opportunity to sail on NZL 68 and NZL 41 -- a must-do for all sailors and wannabes.

This delightful excursion visits two of Auckland’s most popular attractions. Drive along the picturesque waterfront road to Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium. In this amazing facility you’ll view a life-size recreation of Captain Robert Scott’s 1911 Antarctic hut on the shores of McMurdo Sound.

Meet your skipper and listen to a safety briefing before boarding the boat. The trip will take around 35 to 40 minutes, promising a uniquely Auckland hair-raising experience.

On the cliff tops overlooking the beach, you'll take a short walk through the native plants to the lookout point to see the gannet colony here. This is one of only two mainland gannet colonies in the world. Depending upon the season, you may be able to view the birds' nesting and feeding routines, and their spectacular diving technique as they hunt for fish.

Located on beautiful Waiheke Island, Eco Zip offers nature-lovers, young and old, a state-of-the-art, dual zip-line and New Zealand native forest encounter; making it one of Auckland's newest, most accessible and exciting eco-tourism experiences.

Cross the Harbour Bridge -- 3,200 feet of steel linking North Shore to downtown -- on a round trip that will take you past Westhaven Marina. You'll view the thousands of pleasure boats that give Auckland its City of Sails nickname.

A three-hour motorcoach ride to the Waitomo Caves showcases the scenery south of Auckland. After driving through the thriving downtown area, you'll pass through the Bombay Hills and find yourself following the Waikato River into the rural countryside. The hallmark of the Waikato Region is lush green fields populated by grazing sheep. The town of Ngaruawahia is home of the Maori King, and the city of Hamilton is New Zealand's largest inland city. Your drive continues into Taupiri, known for a mountain sacred to the Maori people.

Your guide will share some insights into the daily life of Tahitians -- in particular the residents of Bora Bora. See how the popular pareo is made, learn about tupa crabs, taste locally-grown fruits and see relics left behind by the US military after World War II. Admire the ever-changing colors of Bora Bora's world-famous lagoon, and discover tropical flowers and trees among the dense green vegetation on the mountainside.

Your guide welcomes you aboard a comfortable Bayliner to explore the waters of Bora Bora -- the Pearl of the Pacific. This intimate, small-group boat outing begins with a ride to the west side of Bora Bora.

In the depths of the electric blue waters of Pofai Bay lies the center of an ancient sunken volcano. Giant coral formations reach upward toward the light -- gardens that are home to more than 300 species of fish. Watch as a diver descends and feeds these glorious creatures.

Your adventure begins as you glide across the lagoon aboard a covered lagoon cruiser. Once you're past famous Motu Tapu, the captain will drop anchor on a shallow sandbank -- a favorite haunt of stingrays. With your guide's assistance, you will be able to touch these harmless creatures as they swim an effortless ballet around you. Harmless black tip sharks are often seen in the lagoon as well, and there is a good chance for an encounter.

This is a true off-road, four-wheel-drive excursion to places accessible only to these special vehicles. With your guide at the wheel, expect a bumpy ride with steep ascents and descents as well as some breathtaking sightseeing.
