Common questions about this trip

  • How is this different from the 63-day version?

    The 75-day trip adds a 12-day Sri Lanka tour (Negombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Udawalawe safari, Talalla and Mirissa). Both trips include the same Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia tour, the Philippines tour and the Bali tour. Sri Lanka brings the tea plantations, the Ella train, Little Adam's Peak, a wildlife safari and a surf lesson.
  • Is it one continuous tour, and who is my trip leader?

    It is four separate tours bundled into one package, so you get a different group and trip leader on each. They can be done in any order and on any date. Flights and transport between the tours are booked and paid for separately; transport within each tour is included.
  • What's not included, and what should I budget?

    International flights, flights between tours, travel insurance (compulsory) and personal spending are not included. The tour operator suggests budgeting about $4,800 AUD for extras such as drinks, shopping and optional activities over the 75 days.
  • What's the cancellation policy?

    Dates or tours can be changed free up to 30 days before departure, and changes inside 30 days may incur a fee. If you cancel 30 or more days out, you can keep 100% of your payment as credit, or take a refund of 75% of the tour value. Inside 30 days the operator retains the full amount. Wanderlust handles the refund for you, refunds mirror the operator's terms 1:1 (including if the operator cancels) and we chase it on your behalf.
