bonjour! On m'a dit que le visa était beaucoup moins cher si on le prenait à l'arrivée à Bali, mais je voudrais savoir si ça ne veut pas dire 3 heures de file d'attente et de nombreuses tracasseries administratives après 30 heures de voyages!!! Quelqu'un a-t-il eu une expérience comme ça? Que me conseillez-vous? J'attends vos réponses, Cécile

Je projete de partir en nouvelle-zélande en janvier. Mais je me demandais si je devais partir 2 mois et faire les 2 îles, bus, pouces, a pieds. Ou sinon, tout simplement, louer une voiture en arriver a Aucland, mais resté qu'un mois en nouvelle-zélande!? La location es t'elle cher. quelqu'un connait un site pour informations suplémentaire a ce sujet. Ou si qqun a des conseils a me donner, n'hésiter pas. Je viens du québec.

Bonjour à tous,

La semaine dernière, j'ai écouté une émission au Canal Évasion avec Geneviève Borne, Maeva portant sur les différentes îles de Tahiti. Celle qui a le plus retenu mon attention est celle de Tikehau. Avec ses bungalow sur pilotis avec les planchers de verre, le décor était à faire rêver. Je me demandais si quelqu'un pouvait me donner quelques détails plus précis. Les sites internet portant sur cette destination ne sont pas très faciles à consulter et de plus, tous les prix sont en euro. J'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un est déjà allé, quel était le prix, le nombre d'heures d'avion, les impressions, l'eau, la nourriture, bref, un récit de voyage qui me donnerait des informations complètes.

Merci beaucoup et continuons à parler de voyage, ça fait rêver.😉

Salut

Je pars aux Philippines pendant tout le mois de février 2005. Je compte partager mon séjour en 3: 10 jours à Luzon pour visiter les montagnes et les peuples du Nord et, si j'ai le temps, le Sud-Est (le Mont Mayon justifie t-il à lui tout seul toutes ces bornes?) 10 jours, pas moins, à Palawan pour faire de la plongée au Nord 😇 10 jours dans les Visayas, mais où?? Bon Boracay, même si c'est touristique je peux pas laisser passer une telle plage, mais sinon? J'arrive po à choisir... On m'a récemment parlé de petites îles paradisiaques dans les Visayas mais impossible de me souvenir desquelles.

Quelqu'un pourrait-il me conseiller un endroit qui réponde à mon profil sur VF: "Amateur de belles plages, d'écotourisme, d'endroits déserts et adorateur plus que tout des endroits que personne n'arrive à situer sur un globe terrestre! " 😛

merci !

A prendre SVP au second degrè.

Comptant me rendre au pays des Loch, j'ai écris au gestionnaire d'un B&B par courrier car je n'avais ni son n.de fax, ni son E-Mail, et celui-ci m'a gentiment répondu par retour du courrier...au verso de la lettre que je lui avait envoyè...économe, n'est-il pas ?

Dans trois ans, je prévois partir pour un long voyage d'environ huit mois. Je compte partir de Montréal vers londre et ses environs. Je resterai environ un mois en angleterre et je partirai ensuite de londre pour me rendre en australie. Je voulais savoir les endroits incontournables à voir et les choses à faire en angleterre. J'aimerais aussi savoir une bonne compagnie d'avions pour me rendre en australie en toute sécurité et en payant le moins cher possible. Ha! oui! je voudrais savoir aussi si il est possible de passer un mois en angleterre avac un petit budget ou bien si le coût de la vie est trop cher?

Merci beaucoup de répondre à mes nombreuses questions!!

Bonjour à tous,

mon copain et moi avons décidé et planifié un trip petit budget (type rando sac à dos) vers mi novembre, et ce pour 2 mois 1/2.

On aimerait faire, pendant cette période, le tour du caillou (province sud, nord, iles des loyauté et ile de pins), mais on a un peu de mal à se faire un bon itinéraire et on a encore quelques questions auquelles on n'a pas encore de réponses.😐

Quels sont les sites à privilégier? à ne pas manquer?

Pour le logement on compte beaucoup sur les campings, selon les guides, il y en a partout sur l'ile. Est-ce que le camping sauvage est permis?? et sécurisant??

Et pour le transport: le stop est assez courant là bas? et en ce qui concerne le bus de brousse??

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.😉

Véro et Jérome

Je suis retraité de l'enseignement depuis juin 04 et je veux visiter Hawaii cet hiver (15 janvier, 1 mars) en backpacker. Si quelqu'un a déjà fait ce voyage, je veux savoir où allé et combien coûte une journée normale d'hébergement en camping et la bouffe sur ces îles. Le transport d'une ¸ile à l'autre.

Premier voyage dans le sud mais je viens du Canada et j'ai fait l'expérience dans les mouches du Québec alors je me crois prêt...

tout vient à point à qui sait attendre

Une petit pensée a appliquer ici ou en voyage......

Un sourire ne coute rien et produit beaucoup😊 Il enrichit ceux qui le recoivent😊 Sans appauvrir ceux qui le donnent😊 Il ne dure qu'un instant😊 Mais son souvenir est parfois eternel😊 Personne n'est assez riche pour s'en passer😊 Personne n'est assez pauvre pour ne pas le mériter😊 Il crée le bonheur au foyer, soutient les affaires😊 Il est le signe sensible de l'amitié😊 Un sourire donne du repos à l'être fatigué😊 Rend du courage aux plus decouragés😊 Il ne peut ni s'acheter, ni se preter, ni se voler😊 Car c'est une chose qui n'a de valeur Qu'a partir du moment où elle se donne😊 Et si quelquefois vous rencontrez une personne qui ne sait plus avoir le sourire😊 Soyez généreux, donnez lui le votre😊 Car nul n'a autant besoin d'un sourire que celui qui ne peut en donner aux autres....🙂

5-day cruise around Komodo Not usually a fan of organized trips, during my stay in Labuan Bajo on Flores in May 2024, I started looking for a fisherman who could show me the islands around Komodo. At the port, I met Ari, a former freediver who knows the islands well, especially the best spots for fish and coral. At the Bohême guest house, I proposed this outing, and one of the activity leaders was happy to join. We headed to Angel Island, where Ari took us snorkeling around the island. During this beautiful day, we appreciated his professionalism, and I suggested coming back the following year for a 5-day cruise. We had to agree on a budget and the period to consider. Over the next year, we kept in touch via WhatsApp. However, a month before departure, Ari told me he had lent his boat to a friend, who ran it aground on a rock, causing it to sink. No boat, no cruise! Since we had an agreement, I asked him to find another solution. His searches in the port, where everyone knows each other, turned out to be fruitful. A certain "Captain" Kambar agreed to take us. He sometimes charters his boat for local travel agencies and could free up the requested period.

There will be six of us on board, as in the meantime, my daughter’s friend, Amandine, could join us for the cruise. Ari will act as a guide, and a mechanic will also be present. To reserve the boat for September 4th, Ari asked me to transfer a deposit of 5 million IDR to his account. After some hesitation, I decided to trust him and made the transfer. A few days later, he confirmed receipt of the amount.

In early September, we arrived in Labuan Bajo. Our first mission was to check the boat’s condition, the presence of life jackets, what we would eat, and if there were any restrictions on drinks. Everything was in order and met our expectations.

The day before departure, we met a 26-year-old Czech woman traveling alone after a stay in New Zealand. The description of our cruise excited her, and she got Ari’s number. That evening, at the restaurant, while we discussed the final preparations, Thérèsa joined us and asked if she could come along for the five-day cruise. Since she seemed like good company, I gladly accepted. However, following Indonesian custom, I negotiated firmly with Ari for a discount, and he agreed to lower the price by 2 million.

On September 4th, we set sail to explore the islands of Komodo and, above all, the seabeds, equipped with fins, masks, and snorkels. We had brought a board game for the trips between islands or for the evenings. In the end, it wasn’t used: the crossings rarely lasted more than an hour, except for two two-hour trips, and the conditions on board weren’t suitable for playing.



The first island we visited is north of Labuan Bajo: Seraya Small. We didn’t disembark but anchored a short distance away. The coral reef, between 5 and 10 meters deep, offered visibility of 8 to 10 meters. We started with a few dives from the boat, as the water was so inviting. As with most of the upcoming sites, we were the only ones enjoying this little paradise. Over about a kilometer along the drop-off, colorful corals and fish abound. As long as you don’t go past the rocky point on the right, the currents remain very weak, and the spot is accessible to beginners. After enjoying the sea enough, we returned to the boat, where Ari had prepared a good meal of rice, chicken, and vegetables. It was simple but excellent after all that effort.

In the afternoon, we discovered Bero Island, where it was very hot. There were fewer fish and corals than at Seraya, but the corals were on white sand, allowing for beautiful, bright photos.

In the evening, we visited Hatamin, a fishing village. The population is very young and curious about our visit. At our request, we could have watched a local dance, but it would have taken some time to organize, and we didn’t plan to return. Ari asked if we wanted to take a shower, as on the boat, we could only rinse off with a little water from a basin.

On the second day, snorkeling near Hatamin, a small paradise island with white sand like in a travel brochure. A small temple is located in the middle of the island. In the water, we saw our first small reef sharks, some clownfish, and a sergeant major fish that followed us throughout our swim. The most beautiful part to explore is opposite the beach. Many corals and fish of all colors. A sailboat was anchored a short distance away, but we didn’t see anyone except an old man who apparently lived in the temple above.





In the afternoon, we headed to the nearby island of Sabolong Besar. It’s a pretty little island with a harmonious resort made up of luxury huts that don’t spoil the landscape. In some places, the water is very clear with good visibility, and some schools of very young blacktip reef sharks swirl near the boat. There are beautiful corals on the left side of the resort and a bit of current when you approach the drop-off. Since the area to explore wasn’t very large, we had time to head to Sabolong Kecil. Then we went to the fishing village of Messah, where a Muslim celebration was taking place. There were people everywhere with many food offerings—what activity! It was like an anthill.



And at the end of the day, we anchored near Kanawa with a beautiful sunset.

On the third day, we discovered Kanawa and some hawksbill turtles. There were many colorful corals, but we didn’t stay long. During this day, the stops were close together, making it intense with four visits. Then we arrived at Sebayur Besar with a different snorkeling approach: Ari dropped us in the current, and we drifted for over a kilometer before he came to pick us up. At first, it seemed a bit worrying to see the boat move away while we were offshore, but we were quickly carried by the current and passed almost too quickly by so many corals and fish to see. What a pleasure to drift and freedive with little effort.

The drift lasted a good hour, and we reached Siaba Island, where the water was colder. There were many boats, and we had quickly lost the habit of seeing other tourists. Visibility was average—it was a nice spot, but after the drift at Sebayur, we liked it less. Around 1 p.m., we anchored with other boats because Ari met up with some friends, and we ate heartily since the cool water had whetted our appetites.



In the afternoon, we were at Manta Point. The water was cool, and there was a lot of excitement trying to follow the giant manta rays. We managed to dive down and get close to them, but it took a lot of effort and breath because, despite their leisurely appearance, they move quite fast for us little swimmers. Here, they come to feed and then return to the depths, and it’s not always certain you’ll encounter them. We ended the day at Makassar with a two-hour sail. There was a lot of wind and swell, the boat rocked, and we hoped there wouldn’t be an engine breakdown. We had to take down the tent on the boat’s roof, which had also been used for sleeping. Makassar’s beach is pink, caused by microorganisms called foraminifera. There are many beach huts along the shore, and we were alone, though it must get busy here during the day. On the fourth day, we visited Padar Island for its viewpoint amid hordes of tourists, then headed to Rinca and its Komodo dragons. Rinca is much less crowded than Komodo, which is why we chose this visit. We saw a few and took the usual photos. In the late afternoon, we snorkeled at Pempend Island, where the sea was choppy and the water a bit murky. And on the last day, we visited Strawberry Rock, named after the reddish rock overlooking the sea. There were many corals, but the water was rough with reduced visibility, and then we went to Kelor with its tourist "bars" and the pretty viewpoint.

In conclusion, we shared amazing moments and managed to complete our program. Luckily, the weather was very kind, and not a drop of rain fell in early September, except just upon returning to the port. It’s worth noting that after five intense days in the water from morning to night, we were glad to return to dry land because we were exhausted.

My daughter and her friend were so thrilled that, in return, they developed a website for Ari to help him get known, and I can share the link if you’d like. I visit Voyage Forum from time to time, so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate—I’ll answer them.

Hi everyone, First post in years on the forum—I’m so happy it’s back up and running!

I’ve been wrestling with this question for weeks now: Flores or Sulawesi?

I’m leaving in July for 24 days, followed by 2 weeks around Makassar/Wakatobi for work. For the first part, I’m traveling with my family (my partner + 3 kids aged 6 to 14).

I’ve had a long-time dream of Komodo, but I’m worried it’s become super touristy... though the crossing to Maumere still sounds amazing. I’m also not thrilled about all the internal flights.

On the other hand, since I’ll be in Sulawesi anyway, I’m thinking a crossing from Gorontalo to Luwuk via the Togians (maybe even a few days in Banggai) + a detour to Toraja (which I visited 10 years ago) could be an incredible trip too.

For my family, this is their first trip to Indonesia, so I’d love it to feel *mythic* ;).

Any advice is welcome—I’m really struggling to decide! I know it’s a choice between two great options...

Thanks!

Hi everyone, We’re planning to return to Cambodia in July 2026, as a family, for the third time. Since we’ve already visited Siem Reap and Battambang, we’re not considering going back this time. Instead, we’d like to travel more slowly and take the time to settle in. We’re thinking of an itinerary around Mondulkiri, Kampot, and Koh Kong (Tatai waterfalls, mangroves, etc.). For those who know the Koh Kong province and Mondulkiri well: are these areas still accessible and enjoyable during the rainy season? We’d also like to spend 2 or 3 days on an island, but we’re not sure if it’s really feasible at this time of year (sea conditions, boat crossings…). If it’s doable, which one would you recommend? We’re planning to spend only a short time in Phnom Penh, then a few days with family near Koh Thom. If you have any other ideas, firsthand experiences, or suggestions for stops that work well for a trip in July, we’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance !

Hello,

We’re planning a 17-day trip to South Korea in October 2026 with my husband and our daughters, who’ll be 9 years old.

I’d love to get your thoughts on our draft itinerary.

First, some key details:

1/ Jeju Island is a must for us. I’ve personally dreamed of going there for years after reading a novel about it. 2/ Our girls are used to road-trip style travel since they were born, so this kind of trip won’t be an issue for them. 3/ We plan to travel by train, except on Jeju where we’ll rent a car (we already have an international driver’s permit).

Itinerary:

Seoul: 1 arrival day at 10 AM + 4 full days Gyeongju: 2 days Busan: 3 days Jeju: 4 days Seoul: 2 days

Thanks for your feedback! Have a great day,

Sabrina
