Beautiful Bhutan It is me any my husband’s 50th birthday and we wanted to go somewhere not that common and with a teenager and a 10 year old. Bethany took the time to listen to what we wanted to do right from the start. We then had a brochure with detailed planning and description. That was very useful ! Although we were a little unsure and not clear what to expect, Bethany was always there to answer our questions, even, advising us what to pack etc. Knowing that she is always there to keep track of things was reassuring . The day we landed in Bhutan, we were met by our guide, Kuenga. He is very knowledgeable, calm yet fun and full of interesting stories. We felt safe and we just followed his lead and didn’t have to worry anymore. Although we covered the “must see” places, Bethany also covered some not so touristy places, like the farm house and some simple hiking . We could have just taken the easy bus guided routes to these destinations but I am so glad we didn’t. We got to meet the most amazing people that those who follow the normal tourist circuits would not get . The hotels that we got were amazing . Food was amazing! During the whole trip, There was no rush and no stress. It’s been a while that we could sit down and eat a meal slowly as a family, coming from stressful city Singapore. Having been through guided tours in other places, this is definitely different and the best I have experienced. We look forward to another trip with Hinoki soon.

Northern Thailand Experience We loved traveling with Hinoki through northern Thailand! We came looking for a different kind of travel experience, one that we could never create on our own and that would expand our horizons... mission accomplished! The trip was curated beautifully and was nicely paced. Everything was well-thought out, unique and the coordination was seamless. The guides were amazing as were all the people involved in the trip who were so warm and welcoming. There were always fun surprises that turned into special moments and memories we'll have forever.

Best travel experience I've ever had My trip to Thailand was more amazing than I ever could have imagined. Bethany was always kind and easygoing. She catered to everyone individually in our group and ensured everyone had their best time. Throughout the trip, there was a spirit of freedom and relaxation as an individual and as part of the group. The trip was full of the most beautiful and invigorating surprises. The people were the kindest, most honest, and most loving people I've ever met. Every guide provided through Hinoki was extremely knowledgeable in their own areas. Hidden spots of beauty I would've never found on my own, we were taken right to. All in all the best travel experience I've ever had. I could go on and on about how wonderful my experience was. My only regret is that I had to come back. I can't wait to return to Thailand, and I look forward to traveling through Hinoki Travels again.

Once in a lifetime Hinoki listened to my i interests & concerns. This adventure was everything & more than I wanted. We saw, did & learned about a life that we didn’t even know existed. One of my most memorable trips.

Northern Thailand This was my second trip with Hinoki, and I feel really lucky to be a part of it. Any pre-conceived notions I had about Thailand were expanded much further. It's gotten me a lot more excited about exploring this part of the world. Together with a small lovely group, we had so many unique experiences packed in a short span of 10 days. It was a balanced mix of food, culture, nature and people. And throughout the trip, we were accompanied by kind and knowledgable local guides, each one striving to impact their communities positively. I will always appreciate Hinoki's pursuit to connect travelers with nature. This trip allowed me to see how self-sustaining communities can maintain an ancient sacred connection with the land, as they move towards the future. I can't wait to embark on another journey with Hinoki!
