In Orchid island, residents lead a plain and hardworking life without rapid pace. The lifestyle here is casual and simple, which would make you feel time passes slowly. If you want to find somewhere to relax, there are many pavilions that are surrounded by the sea. Although the reception is unstable, people will get close without using phones.

The Highlight

Traveling is a best way for tourists to get closer to our earth, instead of only taking pictures. We learn the lifestyle of residents and see the mountains and the sea through their viewpoint.

And then, we live with the elders in the tribe. We work like Tao people, we eat like Tao people, and be Tao people for a day.

The culture of Tao, the breathtaking scenic, the agriculture, flying fish, and the lambs running everywhere, all of these are what make Orchid Island so fascinating.

All the ingredients from Orchid Island cooked in foreign flavors.

This is the first night in the itinerary. In the following nights, we will give you different feelings.

The only night market in the island is small but lively. You will have free time here.

Day 2

- The real life in the tribe

We will do activities with residents in the tribe - " Iraraley "

We follow the guide, who grows up in Iraraley to know the culture of Tao people. From the beach, to the boats and the traditional house, maybe you will not receive a professional guide, but the stories she told are the real lives in the tribe and they follow all the rules last from ancient time.

- Traditional lunch box of Tao

when the men go working in the mountain or beside the beach, they will bring this kind of food for lunch.

- Find the secret places

We will bring you to some secret places where are not known by the tourists nor the residents. Let's go exploring and clean the beach at the same time.

★Parts of path are not easy to walk, please wear the shoes that can protect your feet. Also bring some clothes to change if you get wet.

- Dinner time

Second night in Orchid Island ! You can look forward to what the dishes we prepare for you !

Day 3

- Free time for a morning

You have free time in this morning. You can find somewhere to relax or have fun in the sea. You can choose snorkeling, free diving, or scuba diving. (These activities need to pay extra. You can consider until the day before this morning.)

- Sea for the women

Residents grow many taros in Orchid Island. People in Tao say that "taro fields" are the sea for the women. Taros also play important roles in Tao's culture and lives. We will walk in the taro fields without wearing shoes and help taro farmers weed the fields. It's a special way to learn the knowledge about Tao and make you have strong connection with the lands.

- Dinner time

The third night, we eat at "home". The elder in Iraraley will invite us to have dinner in their house. They will prepare tasty dishes for us. The ingredients may not be expensive or delicate but all from Orchid Island and all dishes are full of sincere and enthusiastic.

Day 4

- The last day, Travel around the island in different ways

To be honest, we never set the itinerary in the last day. Where we go or what we do are all different in every single itinerary. But you don't need to be worried, all you need to do is keep curious and believe us will not make you disappointed!

Enjoy the last meal here and you still have a few free time before leaving. Take a moment to say goodbye to this beautiful island.
