1. Take a walk under the sea – Bali, Indonesia
Yes, that’s right, walk! Instead of diving with a clunky oxygen tank on your back, explore life under the sea with a unique helmet system by the Bali Seawalker Tour. Located at Sanur beach, a speedboat will whizz you off across Bali’s gorgeous blue waters to take you out on your mini sea expedition. Together with an instructor, be taken up to 5 metres deep for a stroll on the ocean bed while feeding fishes that swim by. Who knows? You just might find Nemo (or Dory)!

 

2. Scoot around the city – Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Zip through the streets and explore the city like a true local – all from the back seat of a Vespa. Jump on an organised tour to discover the food, nightlife, iconic sights or unusual attractions the city has to offer. Along with a guide, you’ll uncover hidden and unique spots that you probably won’t be able to on foot.

 

3. Visit a jjimjibang – Seoul, Korea
Bathhouses are a quintessential part of Korean culture. Known as jjimjibang (heated rooms), it is where locals come to unwind and treat themselves to an array of health and beauty rituals. On top of the usual spa and saunas, more lavish joints also include restaurants, outdoor swimming pools, beauty salons, as well as karaoke rooms. Apart from the usual shopping that Seoul has to offer, why not pamper yourself with a little TLC this time round?

 

4. Soak up a panoramic view – Langkawi, Malaysia
Hop on the world’s steepest cable car, the Langkawi Skycab, for a phenomenal view atop Machincang mountain. Upon reaching the Top Station, take a short walk up a flight of stairs to stand 708 metres above sea level and treat yourself to a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of the Langkawi islands and Southern Thailand. Just steps away is the SkyBridge, one of the world’s longest curve suspension bridges – a walk across will leave you stunned by the beauty that Langkawi has to offer. It’s definitely worth the “climb”.

 

5. Go chase waterfalls– Cebu, Phillipines
Apart from its white-sand beaches and world-class diving spots, did you know that Cebu is also home to more than 90 waterfalls? One of the most popular waterfalls in the country is the Kawasan Falls, which hosts three waterfalls. Located inside the mountains of Barangay Matutinao, Badian, these majestic waterfalls are just 130 kilometres southwest of Cebu City – making it an ideal nature side-trip after a day at the beach. If you’d like, bamboo rafts are also available for rent to take you to the base of the waterfall for a relaxing “waterfall massage”.
