Day 7 Sandakan (Sabah), Malaysia

Despite its picture-perfect beaches and its turquoise seas, Sandakan's proximity to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre makes it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. The rehabilitation center offers the opportunity to witness and support crucial conservation of these gentle giants while experiencing the natural wonders of Borneo. Located within a lush rainforest setting, the center provides a semi-wild environment for these magnificent creatures to relearn essential survival skills. As to be expected on a tropical island, the surrounding area teams with natural wonders. The Kinabatangan River is a perfect place to spot proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, and various bird species, while the surrounding Sulu Sea is known for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. However, if you are more of a historian than a wildlife expert, note that Sandakan played a crucial role in Malaysia's history as an important trading port during British colonial rule. The city has a poignant historical connection with World War II, notably the Sandakan Death Marches, a tragic chapter in which prisoners of war endured forced marches and harsh conditions.

Day 10 Manila, Philippines

Set amid the forest-green splendour of Luzon Island is bustling Manila, the second largest city in Southeast Asia, with its towering skyscrapers and remarkable joie de vivre. Yet amid the big-city excitement are oases of calm: lush tropical parks, magnificent cathedrals and dramatic Spanish forts. North of the city, mountains beckon with their spectacular rice terraces, while across Manila Bay stands Mount Mariveles, a dormant volcano studded with scenic hiking trails.

Day 13 Nha Trang, Vietnam

It's said the legendary sea explorer Jacques Cousteau discovered his passion for diving off these shores, so you must be on to a good thing. With about 25 dive sites in the area, this is the scuba capital of Vietnam - and anyone from total novices to experienced old hands can take the plunge. Nha Trang is also known for its buzzing beach life and island-hopping excursions, but it's worth wandering away from the coast. Join local devotees at the mosaic-tiled Long Son Pagoda, with it's dazzling-white giant Buddha, and the 7th-century Cham towers glowing golden on a hillside.

Day 14 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City, known universally and affectionately by residents as Saigon, offers a glimpse into Vietnam's eventful past and its hopeful future.
