2023 Shimada Oigawa Marathon RUN-cation
#RunningInJapan
The 15th edition of Shimada Oigawa Marathon in Shizuoka prefecture of Japan took place in October last month. The running festival kicked off along Oi River which flows from the Japan Southern Alps with over 3,000 metres high alpine mountains.
The running course is flat and traffic-free which is good for achieving personal best and strongly recommended for 42.195 KM marathon debut runners. The ASTONISHING waterpoint at 32-KM mark is definitely the biggest highlight of the event with over 30 different kinds of food served to runners. Check out the video (4:10m) to believe.
Travel Wander Singapore group started the run-cation with visits to key sightseeing locations around Shimada City.
The next Shimada Oigawa Marathon RUN-cation by Travel Wander will be on 25 – 28 October, 2024. Drop us a WhatsApp at +65 8714 3321 to receive alert when the run-cation package is launched.

2023 Trek the Golden Fields of Sapa
Recap #HikingInVietnam
The group spent a jolly good time exploring and admiring the beautiful golden rice terraces of Sa Pa, a small mountain town in Lao Cai province in the north of Vietnam. Sa Pa is home to five different ethnic tribal groups and surrounded by beautiful natural scenery of the Hoang Lien Son range of mountains, the eastern edge of the Himalayas.
We worked with a local social enterprise, who is the first ethnic minority owned, not-for-profit travel partner in Sa Pa, promoting sustainable and responsible tourism. Part of their earning (after covering costs) goes back to supporting the local community, with a deep focus on education and training for the youths. Our partner operates with a mission of giving back to the ethnic minorities in Sa Pa so that they can be self-sustainable without relying on donations.
This trip can be customised for private group hiking. WhatsApp us to discuss, +65 8714 3321.

2023 Trek Kyrgyzstan At Leisure
Recap #HikingInKyrgyzstan
Often referred to as the “Switzerland of Central Asia”. Trekking is the best way to appreciate the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan.
We went in July to see the pristine nature in rarely touched places, admire stunning lakes and meet the locals. Admiring the turquoise-coloured alpine lake, Ala-Kul is located high up in the mountains at a height of 3,530 M, nestled in between jagged and snowcapped peaks – the experience is surreal. And the only way to see it - is by foot.
A refreshing start of the vacation saw us kayaking across the tranquil lake Issyk-Kul, the 2nd largest salt lake in the world and a biking spree along the alpine lake.
The horseback riding experience was definitely one of the favourite highlights of the hikers to help us cover the last 8-KM of the hike which we are supposed to walk after a steep high altitude descent.
There are so many more hidden gems to uncover in Kyrgyzstan and the untouched nature is simply magnificent. Regardless you are beginner hiker or an advanced hiker, there is so much to do. Even if you do not wish to hike but want to go into nature, mountains to see its many lakes, perhaps a horseback riding tour fits the bill.
Meanwhile, savour the experiences through the videos we had thoroughly enjoyed the vacation.
Private group hiking can be arranged. WhatsApp us at +65 8714 3321.

2022 Gastronomic Heart of Italy Ride
#CyclingInItaly
Cycling from Bologna to Parma, we tasted all the lovely delicacies the region has to provide. From Mortadella Ham to Balsamic Vinegar to Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese and countless pizzas plus fresh seafood, you name it, we've tried it!
Not only did we enjoy the food, but the ride itself was also very enjoyable. Riding past vast farmlands, quiet country roads, and off-the-beaten tracks, we enjoyed long rides with minimal traffic stops.
Ohhhh... just bring us back again!!
