About You

Here's something most travel websites don't focus on . . . and that's you . . . you're not being singled out, this applies to the other "yous" on the tour. This gives you a good idea on who you're likely to be travelling with. Then we'll get to About Us.

• You are happy to do some walking, put on a mask and swim with a manta ray, ride a quad bike in the desert, walk a jungle track to a temple . . . but wouldn't mind a hot shower, air-conditioned room in a boutique hotel and an ice-cold beer/wine when all that is over.
• Your backpacking days are long behind you but you're not dead yet and still have that sense of adventure.
• You don't like group tours but are happy to travel with a bunch of friends . . . possible friends you haven't met yet.
• You have your own successful business, corporate job or a self-funded retiree and see travel as an investment in life, not just a holiday.
• You seek out great food experiences . . . and aren't scared of a hidden cocktail bar either.
• You don't like group photos.
• You’re also charming enough to co-exist with 6 other humans for 10 to 12 days

Oh yes . . .

• You don't have any major food allergies and are happy to try "new things"
• You can walk up a flight of stairs and about 3 kms without needing a paramedic

Here's the thing:

Most of our tours host about 8 to 10 guests so it really is like a group of friends travelling together.

The majority of our guests tend to be in the 50 - 75 year old range . . . but are young at heart and are up for an adventure, not a tour.

And it's with that in mind that we wanted to talk about YOU . . . because we believe the people you travel with are a big part of the experience.

More than that, long lasting friendships are made on our tours as we all tend to be a similar demographic. The price of our tours are based on great boutique hotels, unique dining and travel experiences . . . but without the pretence.

About US

We are the team behind the wildly successful and sometimes dangerous Spirit House Tours.

Our goal was to create unique adventures in India and Asia that take in all the big sights plus a dollop of history and then wrap all that with amazing food, drinks and trendy shopping precincts and other secrets that only a local would know. 

No hotel buffets or hopping on and off a tourist bus . . . we get in amongst the action:

• Walking through the jungle to hidden temples in Angkor Wat
• Snorkel stunning reefs and visit pearl farms in the Komodo Islands aboard our private yacht
• Float down the river Kwai to your luxury jungle rafts in Thailand
• Visit Oases (more than one oasis???), shop for carpets and stay in exotic Riads in Morocco
• Trendy restaurants and bars plus fantastic street food in India.
• Explore fort ruins in the Banda Islands - the birth of the spice trade and setting of Nathaniels Nutmeg.

. . . and yes, you get to see the Taj Mahal, Ait Ben Haddou, Angkor Wat and the other "bucket list" items.

For our Hosted Tours you will be accompanied by a Spirit House ex-chef and now cooking school chef who has a passion for the country . . . and food.

Forget everything you know or read about chefs . . . are hosts are tame, friendly, love a good joke and best of all know the destination backwards with plenty of side-street adventures for you to enjoy.

Have your Own Friends . . . or want to go it alone?

Private Trips:

If you can't make it on one of our hosted tours, we can organise a similar itinerary and you and some friends or family can share the adventure together.

From grandparents wanting to take their children and grand children on a private sailing adventure in the Komodo Islands to a fantastic shopping, food and photos trip to India . . . we can organise a trip that ticks all your boxes.
