The experience

The tour starts at your hotel and heads to Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool, where you'll cake yourself in thermal mud alongside locals before soaking in the natural hot spring baths: a ritual locals swear rejuvenates the body. A massage is available at additional cost if you want it. From there, your guide takes you to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, a landscaped orchid garden where you walk at a leisure pace, learning about the different orchid varieties as you move through the grounds. The tour wraps with a glass of tropical fruit juice before heading back to your hotel.

Because this is a private tour, your driver and guide work to your pace and your interests. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport separately. The 4-hour duration includes travel time, and the exact length depends on traffic and the time of day you depart. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with young children.
