An experience beyond the norm
“ONE’S destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things,” said renowned author Henry Millar.
Apple Signature West offers an unforgettable travel experience by providing high-quality, in-depth tours that go beyond the norm.
Here are just some of the unique highlights you can experience when you travel with Apple Signature West.
Spectacular Hawaii
The 10D/7N package brings you a new take on Hawaii. More than just a romantic paradise, the island is also home to Mother Nature’s most exquisite masterpieces.
Come experience where fire meets the sea at the Big Island. Behold the mesmerising fiery glow of red hot lava flowing from the Kilauea Volcano into the Pacific Ocean from the front row of your seats aboard the Sunrise Lava Boat Tour.
Hear it crackle and sizzle as molten fire bleeds in the cool azure waters, spewing showers of flames and venting waves of smoke in a magnificent display of nature’s wrath.
Hop on a 4WD mini-coach and climb up the snow-capped summit of Mauna Kea, which rises to nearly 4,267m above sea level, to witness a breathtaking sunset nestled above the sea of clouds.
As the sun dips behind the silhouettes of the telescope domes, return to the Visitor Centre for a special stargazing experience.
An expert guide will set up an advanced telescope and point to you various constellations and planets that light up the night sky across the idyllic island.
Soar above the sky for an unprecedented panoramic view of Hawaii in all its glory aboard the 60-minute “Kauai Eco Adventure” helicopter tour.
Your journey begins with a flight to spectacular Hanapepe Valley and continues to the nostalgic “Jurassic Park Falls” of Mana Waiapun and the gargantuan chasm of the Waimea Canyon, famously known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”.
Glide above the rugged grandeur of Na Pali Coast’s jagged peaks and deep ravines for a truly aweinspiring finish to your sky-high adventure in Kauai.
Beautiful world of Tasmania
The southern island of Australia is well known for its pristine wilderness, clean air as well snazzy arts and food scenes. So much so that it is seemingly custom-built for an ideal road trip, scuffling between scenic spots and the farmgate and cellar doors of local farmers.
A well-kept secret of Tasmania is Bridestowe, the world’s largest privately owned lavender farm.
Walk among the vivid purple fields, which runs over 105ha with lavender rows that stretch for about 200km in total.
Catch their perfume on the cool summer breeze from December until January and see purple buds basking in the sun, watch distillation in action and join its apiarist as they harvest the finest lavender flower honey.
Have a taste of delicious lavender ice cream and be sure to meet Bobbie, Bridestowe’s lavender bear.
From late September to midOctober, the vast fields of Table Cape Farm explode with a riot of colours from its tulips that comes in every spectrum of the rainbow.
Wander in the largest tulip fields in the Southern Hemisphere for a picture-perfect opportunity.
For the ultimate foodie day out, visit the home of Bruny Island’s cheese, oysters, fudge, berries, honey, premium wine and whiskies makers to savour their produce and hear the stories behind the harvest.
More than just a tasting tour, Bruny Island Traveller Gourmet Experience offers a full day of seven-course fully inclusive gourmet experience while exploring some spectacular landscapes and local wildlife.
Enhance your gastronomical journey with the Tasmanian Seafood Seduction tour for the ultimate indulgence and relaxation.
Enjoy oysters shucked straight from the water, rock lobster and see your guide dive for abalone and sea urchin – you can’t get seafood any fresher than this.
For some Arctic adventures, pop by Santa Claus village to fulfil your childhood dream.
Glide across frozen fjords on snowmobiles, feast on succulent Arctic king crabs, chase after the elusive Aurora Borealis and even frolic in the icy cold water of the open sea aboard the icebreaker Polar Explorer for an unforgettable winter escapade.
