Day 1 Arrive Ko Ngai
Settle in to your Thai-style beach hut, where you will be based for a week of yoga, relaxation and meditation. On Day 1 we are welcomed into our new Thai home, with the rest of the day is free for you to explore and settle in to our tranquil island surrounds before an evening yoga class. The sunsets are explosive (as are the sunrises) and at night the stars are perfectly clear. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax and unwind.
Days 2-6 Yoga and Meditation
Meditation once and yoga twice daily, allows us to become completely at peace with ourselves and the world. Situated on a private beach in a area of amazing snorkelling and diving, the next week is sure to be one of excitement as well as serenity.
Start the day with early morning meditation, a dynamic yoga class in our purpose built yoga sala, right by the waters edge and then follow this with a healthy breakfast.
The days are yours to do as you will. Hire a kayak or small boat to explore the surrounding islands and find your own private beaches. A trip to the world famous Emerald Cave is not to be missed. Visit the little known Ko Kradan and Ko Rok, beautiful islands populated with fishermen and their families and snorkel or dive the pristine reefs of Ko Ma and Ko Cheuk - some of the most spectacular beaches in Asia.
Or, simply relax, hang out on the beach and lounge with a book in your hammock, a gentle breeze blowing off the sea. Round the day off with a sunset yoga class on the beach and catch the tropical sunset with a healthy juice or even a coconut cocktail.
Day 7 Depart Ko Ngai
After seven blissful days we leave our villas and new lifestyle, and depart our tiny island paradise feeling newly focussed and rejuvenated.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
