Six Slow Days in Kyoto's Backstreets
Temples, tea, and the art of doing very little.
Where you'll go
Each one chosen, walked, and known by us — so your time there is spent living it, not planning it.
Temple mornings, ryokan nights, and the slow art of doing very little.
The Big Five from a private conservancy — no minibuses, no crowds.
Waterfalls, glaciers, and the long, unending northern light.
Rice terraces, healing weeks, and pools that fall into the jungle.
Hanoi's old quarter to Hoi An's lantern-lit evenings.
Four islands, one small ship, a different anchorage each dawn.
Gardens by the Bay, hawker counters, and a skyline built to be looked at.
Limestone cliffs, longtail boats, and two island bases instead of one.
The DMZ, a coastal city, and a volcanic island — three very different Koreas.
Fully customised
Our default, and most of the catalog: designed around your group and your dates, refined until it's unmistakably yours. Nothing shared, nothing fixed — book whenever you're ready to travel.
Temples, tea, and the art of doing very little.
Japan's design soul, from megalopolis to a quiet island.
Glass igloos, dog sleds, and the lights above.
Waterfalls, glaciers, and the long Icelandic light.
The Big Five in a private conservancy. No minibuses.
Seven days of deliberate stillness in Ubud.
Culture, temples, rice fields, and the most beautiful pools.
Hanoi's old quarter to Hoi An's lantern light.
Old city walls, island-hopping, and the clearest sea.
Eight days. Four islands. One small ship.
The DMZ, a coastal city, and a volcanic island — Korea in four nights.
Fixed dates, small group
A small number of itineraries we run on set dates a handful of times a year — a group of Cimara guests only, capped at twelve, never merged with another operator's travellers. Same standard of care as Signature, just not made-to-order.
Gardens, hawker counters, and a skyline built to be looked at.
Three nights in the city, two nights at sea, no itinerary but your own.
Cliff temples, island-hopping, and two nights above the treeline in Ubud.
Limestone cliffs, longtail boats, and two island bases instead of one.

Why Cimara
Signature trips are fully private — your dates, your pace, never a busload of strangers. Where a trip runs as a small, capped Curated departure instead, it's clearly marked.
We have been everywhere we send you, so every hotel, meal, and moment is one we would book ourselves.
A single point of contact looks after everything — from the first call to your welcome note at the hotel.
You see the full cost upfront. No "starting from", no add-ons, no fine print.
