At Exodus, we love adventure travel and always have. Discovering countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts and jungles; more exploring this amazing planet we all live on. We know what makes you tick when it comes to holidays. It’s a desire shared by so many others. A yearning to visit new places and come home with a real sense of what they’re all about. This means delving into local traditions, cultures, cuisine, lifestyles – anything that contributes to its unique identity. At the same time, we always remember that we are only guests. So we travel courteously and respectfully, in smaller groups to minimise our impact, to ensure that every Exodus holiday is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.

Discover Must do experiences and highlights on a tour through Asia
Share a moment of collective wonder as a golden glow envelops the iconic marble dome, throwing impressive poolside reflections. It’s everything you dream it to be.
Take in views of fortified stone winding its way into the distance while underfoot are foundations and legends shaped over 2000 years ago.
Pastel hues dust the countryside and cityscapes of Japan in springtime. Colourful petals cling to gnarly branches and fall like delicate snowflakes embellishing an already beautiful country.
There is a reason Angkor Wat features on Cambodia’s national flag. A symbolic monument that captures cultural and religious ideals, artistic prowess, and the hearts of visitors with its intricate design and commanding presence.
Swap the beaten path for one forged by early traders of commodities and cultures. Travel through Central Asia admiring incredible natural landscapes, relics of dynasties past, and the welcoming warmth of locals.

Vietnam & Cambodia A Mekong Experience Jennelle and Andrew, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Just returned from an amazing experience with Wendy Wu booked through Global Journeys. The experiences exceeded our expectations. The guides took great care of everyone and were wonderful at meeting everyone's personal needs. We had a 95 year old who had planned the trip with his wife, who sadly passed away a few months prior. A beautiful bunch of read more travellers that looked after him throughout. There were many highlights but the most important reflection of the journey was the diversity of experiences and the support of the local communities especially in Cambodia. It is a tour that is more than about visiting historical sites and temples. The communities we visited expressed their gratitude for Wendy Wu and the impact that the support of these agents is having in their community. We were welcomed into peoples homes where they so willingly shared their skills and daily life with us. So many welcoming smiles from people that have so little.
I loved every moment. Japan Express – Osaka to Tokyo Emily and Mary, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Wonderful tour. Japanese 'CEO' was so kind and well organized. She made sure we had a great variety of experiences in and outside of the cities. I loved every moment of my tour.
This was our 5th trip with G Adventures and it did not disappoint. The CEO, Toshio, was outstanding in his knowledge, organization, kindness and generosity. He even guided us around during free time ! I used Global Journeys to book the trip because they quoted a better price than GAdventures. Melissa made the booking easy and made sure I received read more my GAdventures credit and also that we could use our rail pass on the last day for our transfer to the airport. We used Zipair for our flight and had no problem using a no-frills company to save on our flight costs. Accomodation was as expected with only 2 nights with shared washrooms. Seniors might have difficulty with beds on the floor.
Time of year was perfect for us as we don’t like heat, Temperature ranged from 10-20 C with the cooler days being in the mountains. There was only 1 day of rain and it was light. We had a nice mix of fellow travellers from 4 different countries and an age range of 35- 80 yrs. A couple of people in the group brought way too much luggage and relied on others for help. We walked 17,000- 20,000 steps a day so you must be fit enough do this as well as carry your own luggage. The itinerary was ideal for first time visitors and we didn’t feel rushed.

Enjoyable tour Splendours of Japan Sandra and Clem, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
We enjoyed seeing the sights, culture, countryside, gardens and much more of Japan. The first and last hotels on the tour were great….our tour guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable, plus went out of her way to give us Japanese treats, local tips and always making sure we all had fun and enjoyed our Japanese experience. We would recommend seeing read more Japan and touring with Trafalgar.
