Straddling the equator, Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's oldest rainforests, unaffected by any ice age. As the planet's largest archipelago, the region plays host to an awesomely rich bio-diversity of mammals, birds, insects and reptiles that have grown up in isolation, cut off by the seas surrounding their individual islands.

North Palawan Escapade
Fishing Kavieng, New IrelandNorth Palawan probably remains the Philippines' most preserved area with unspoilt nature and untouched wilderness: emerald forests plunging directly into turquoise waters, sprinkled with white powdery sand beaches, dark cliffs surrounding lagoons.
Papua New Guinea boasts excellent fishing, and is one of the last unspoilt fishing frontiers left in the world today. The waters that surround Kavieng, New Ireland, offer plenty of challenges and opportunities for the keen sports fisherman. Many ocean fish species can be found here year round because the climate doesn't change much, so any time is the right time for fishing.
Cruise the Upper Mekong River between the historic ancient capital of Luang Prabang, a World Heritage site, and Houei Xay, located on the border at the northernmost point of Thailand, near to the infamous Golden Triangle.
A bird-watching tour to Papua New Guinea is not complete without a visit to the Bismarck Archipelago. This geological hot spot holds many endemic species and contributes significantly to the bird diversity of the New Guinea region.
