Our Origins
Bon voyage, bon vivant!
Asia Extraordinaire is a visionary brand, built upon a formidable foundation of knowledge and know-how about exploring Asia.
As our name suggests, we are not just another ordinary travel company. We redefine travel in Asia, inspiring a spirit of deep discovery and extraordinary exploration, blended with exceptional service and innate joie de vivre.
From the best pho, to a private visit to Angkor Wat; tracking snow leopards, to tribal festivals; private islands, to meeting royalty; at Asia Extraordinaire, we are inspired to curate an extraordinary degree of discovery — the kind that can only be enjoyed in Asia.
Behind-the-scenes or up-front-and-personal. We know where to take you and who to talk to. Whether it’s a top-notch naturalist, art historian, or adventure guide, every journey we curate is elevated to an unparalleled degree of luxury by our vast network of experts on the ground.
Our tremendous exposure and specialisation in Asia gives us the experience and know-how to organize seamless travel across the continent. We have an ear to the ground and an eye for detail. Our guides, chauffeurs and managers are extremely well-versed in the intricacies of each country and share fascinating insights into the destination with you. You can count on us to pre-empt any unexpected eventuality with ease and sophistication.
Customized travel. Curated interactions. Creatively inspired. That’s Asia Extraordinaire.
Our Ethos
At Asia Extraordinaire, travel is all about trust. Knowing that you are in experienced hands, and being able to rely on your team on the ground, is what makes all the difference.
We place a premium on destination knowledge, direct connections and vetted personnel. We only recommend properties that we know personally, and providers who we know can deliver. Our experts are hand-picked by us, chosen for their incredible knowledge as well as their warmth and willingness to share insights with you.
We believe in being clear and forthright in all our transactions. We give you a thorough outline of our process and a detailed itinerary, based on which we organize your trip. Our pricing is extremely transparent and includes all the elements outlined in the itinerary, unless specifically mentioned. Once you embark on your journey, there are no hidden costs.
Socially responsible travel with a minimal footprint is a tenet of our philosophy. Our tour managers, guides and chauffeurs are highly sensitised and trained to ensure that your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are a priority, without exploiting the destination or its people. Our regional teams on the ground are flexible, willing to adapt to your requests to the highest possible degree, and make suggestions that only elevate your experience in the destination. In the rare event that your trip incurs a hiccup, such as a natural disaster or any unanticipated event, our team on the ground is empowered to make alternative arrangements to immediately maximise your safety and security.
