Madagascar might seem familiar due to a certain animated film series, but in reality, it far surpasses what you see on the big screen. The Indian Ocean island nation 250 miles east of mainland Africa is every nature enthusiast's fantasy land; whether you want to look for lemurs or lay on sun-drenched golden beaches, the country ticks all the tropical island boxes. Mahajanga, or Majunga, on the island's west, is one of the country's most underexposed destinations. The city's hero is undoubtedly the 1,000-year-old, 21-meter wide (and it's still growing) Baobab tree, which stands in the center of Avenue de France. From here, venture down to the lively waterfront, where colorful fishing boats bob in the harbor and beautiful sunsets unfold over the Mozambique Channel. A busy local market thrives with life, so take the opportunity to get some authentic Malagasy products and souvenirs such as local vanilla, ylang-ylang, or anything lemur-based. For those looking for adventure, the Cirque Rouge, a striking landscape of red cliffs and canyons, ideal for hiking, is a short drive away, while Ankarafantsika National Park provides a chance to see some of the best wildlife in the country.

9 EXCURSIONS
It might be Madagascar's premier beach destination, but Nosy Be is blissfully without bling. There's a faint Caribbean feel here; certainly, the soft white sands, crystal clear waters, technicolor marine life, and lip-smacking seafood make it paradisiacal, but there is far more to Nosy Be than lie-back-and-relax vacations. The destination is laden with history; it was settled by the Malagasy around 2,000 years ago, then inhabited by indigenous Sakalava people, who arrived from the French Reunion (inviting French colonialism in their wake). The 19th century saw the island become an agricultural hub for cash crops, including the sweet-smelling ylang-ylang, which remains a major Malgache export. Take a tour of the centre ville to see how far-reaching the French influence is, from the architecture to the cuisine. The nearby island Nosy Komba (Lemur Island) leaves little to the imagination regarding its main attraction. These bright-eyed, bushy-tailed furry friends are not only adorable to look at but are a major draw for ecotourism throughout the whole of Madagascar.

feb 12, 2026

8 EXCURSIONS
Antsiranana is perhaps one of the planet's best-kept secrets. The little town on Northern Madagascar's promontory juts into a large bay (one of the deepest natural bays in the world) and has been blessed when it comes to dramatic natural beauty; a ring of mountains surrounds the town, which is edged by sugary sands and gloriously clear seas. Nearby Montagne d'Ambre National Park heaves with wildlife: 75 species of bird, 59 species of reptiles, 34 species of amphibians, 25 species of mammals, plus three families of snakes, a family of chameleons, three families of lizards, and two families of frogs call the forest home. Originally christened Diego Suarez after its 16th-century explorer, the town was renamed when Madagascar gained independence from the French in 1960 (although they kept a naval base here until 1973). Today, remnants of this history endure in the town's colonial architecture, including the old covered market and the former Hotel de la Marine. French is still widely spoken throughout.

Lack of tourists however means good news for the local wildlife. 86% of the Andamans are covered with forest, so wildlife is one of the main attractions here: 270 species of birds (including 14 endemic birds) call the islands home, while underwater the kaleidoscopic marine life is rich and plentiful. The island once served as a penal colony and Cellular Jail, built by the British when India was under colony in the 18th century, offers a chance to see how the colonial government of India treated its exiled criminals and political prisoners.

The curious traveler will relish what they find here; there are temples, markets, parks and nature reserves to feast on – as well as some of the best seafood in the country. Shop for authentic souvenirs in the markets of Nampo-dong, gaze at the traditional Korean architecture in the old quarter and walk or cycle along the shore in the sea breeze. Take the Yeosu Maritime Cable Car from Jasan Park – one with a transparent floor if you dare look down on the sea far below – to Dolsan island to find Hyangiram Hermitage, a 6th-century Buddhist temple. Or cross the bridge to Odongdo island and follow the trails through the tangle of evergreens and bamboo, fragranced in spring by red camellia blossoms.

Overnight
7 EXCURSIONS
Blessed with parks and markets to stroll through, it's hard to resist stretching your legs in South Korea's third-largest city. As you go, savor hot and crunchy deep-fried chicken, dakgangjeong, or a spicy skewer of fish cakes in a warming broth, eomuk, from the street-food stalls in Sinpo Market. Step through the great gate of the only official Chinatown in Korea and discover how its community helped create the country's national dish at the eponymous Jajangmyeon Museum. Delight in the clouds of cherry blossom that grace Jayu Freedom Park in spring. You won't tire of Incheon but dynamic Seoul is temptingly close by Metro. You might like to prepare your senses for an onrush of blinking neon lights and blasting K-pop music in the capital, yet there are calm historic corners to be found amid the soaring skyscrapers. Bongeunsa Temple, with its Buddhist shrines, and Deoksugung Palace, for the changing of the guard, are among the must-sees.

12 EXCURSIONS
Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, is a dynamic blend of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and bustling urban life. Situated on the southeastern coast, Busan is so much more than a sum of its parts; it's a captivating mix of historic charm, modernity, and stunning, natural beauty. The city is famous for its beautiful beaches, such as local favorite Haeundae Beach, perfect for long strolls along the promenade or the more nostalgic Dadaepo Beach, where golden sands meet the turquoise sea. South Korea is still emerging as a traveler destination and as such, much of this beautiful country remains unspoiled. The city's history comes alive at places like the Beomeosa Temple, a Buddhist sanctuary founded in 678 AD, and the historic Gamcheon Culture Village, known for its colorful houses and artsy alleys. Or, if you are looking for a glimpse into Busan's maritime heritage, head to Jagalchi, one of Korea's largest fish markets.

10 EXCURSIONS
Visitors from the sea have long been welcomed at this port on Kyushu Island in Japan's lush, subtropical south. Set as close to Taiwan as to Tokyo, it's brimming with pan-Asian flavors and there are plenty of ways to savor them. One of the best is at a yatai, the enticing street-food stalls that, some say, Fukuoka has more of than the whole of Japan. See them by lantern light when the sun goes down on the waterfront at Nakasu Island River, and succumb to a ladle or two of meaty Hakata pork broth with slurpable ramen noodles. For a more refined authentic taste, delve into Fukuoka's Edo-era history at the ruins of its 17th-century castle, or, in Shofukuji, Japan's first Zen temple, founded in the 12th century, with its wooden pagoda and golden statues of Buddha. Look to the future, too, at Canal City, the five-storey mega mall complete with its own waterway.

Kagoshima lies cradled within the protective arms of a large inlet on the island's extreme southern tip. It is Japan's southernmost city and combines slow-paced charm with thriving commercial activity. World-renowned Mount Sukurajima stands less than three miles away. This rare example of a busy metropolitan area coexisting with a volcano has led to comparisons between Kagoshima and the Italian city of Naples.

Beppu (Kyushu Island), Japan
mar 31, 2026
8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
7 EXCURSIONS
Framed by steam-shrouded mountains, Beppu is a city at the pulsing heart of Japan's onsen culture. The smoking fumaroles, bubbling pools, and spouting geysers that permeate the earth here across the Oita prefecture produce more spring water than anywhere else in Japan. And with this come spectacular onsen resorts, spa hotels set into forest-fringed coastal cliffs, and traditional ryokan tucked into secluded bays. The top of Mount Tsurumi is the place to view this magical misty scene, climbing above city and sea to its 1,375m summit aboard the Ropeway cable car. In spring, the slopes below blush pink as some 2,000 cherry blossom trees come into bloom. Steam makes its way into Beppu's distinctive jigoku-mushi cuisine, too, harnessing the hot springs to cook mineral-rich dishes. Hike through the caldera-sculpted landscape of nearby Aso Kuju National Park or, in spring and summer, kayak across the flooded rice fields and flowering marshland.

Sitting pretty on the sandy coastline between Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan's fourth-largest city is home to a thriving harbor district that is a lively destination in its own right.

Further afield, a pair of golden shachihoko sea monsters crown Nagoya's imposing five-storey 17th-century castle. A symbol of this city's prosperity during the Tokugawa dynasty, the castle dates from Japan's Edo period and its powerful shoguns. Nearby, step back in time to that era on the streets of the Shikemichi preservation district, lined with white-walled merchants' houses now transformed into cafés and craft boutiques.
