Full description

This is a 3-day experience from Ha Long, built around Having lunch, Visiting Sung Sot Cave and Visiting Ti Top island. It is run by Sunlight Travel & Cruise, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Sunlight Travel & Cruise sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
