    Saving Guarantee

    World-wide savings Guarantee

    We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:

    Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).

    Terms & Conditions

    The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.

    1. ACCOMMODATION-ONLY

    There are two main scenarios:

    (1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.

    If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:

    1. Any price supplied is an estimate only and is subject to our standard booking conditions.
    2. The price beat and inclusion details will be confirmed in a travel plan.

    (2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.

    A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.

    2. TRAVEL & TOUR PACKAGES

    Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters ("competitors") will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").

    Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:

    1. Any package components or prices that are exclusive to specific suppliers or competitors to which we do not have access will not be included.
    2. Alternative supplier products of a substantially similar type and standard may be included.
    3. Accommodation may be in a different but similar location.
    4. The price-beat may be based on alternative travel and departure dates.
    5. This guarantee does not apply to flight-only or cruise-only bookings. The booking type must qualify for Getaway Cash travel credits usage (refer to website FAQs).
    6. Added value may include travel services supplied by the company.
    7. Added value may be treated as a price deduction for the purposes of the price-beat.
    8. Any price supplied is an estimate only.
    9. The price beat and inclusion details will be confirmed in a travel plan.

    A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.

    3. GENERAL CONDITIONS

    The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.

    A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:

    1. Evidence regarding an accommodation-only price-beat may be supplied by phone or email stating the name of the property and room type, where you saw the price (on what website, in what publication etc.)
    2. Evidence regarding a tour or travel package must be provided to us in the form of a written quotation by the competitor travel agent, sent/forwarded via email to your company contact, or to admin@australianescapes.com.au. Enter your name as the email subject line. Alternatively, upload the quote (PDF or Word doc) via the Competitor Price Beater page. It must be a formal quotation, not an advertisement, website page or website-generated pricing.
    3. Your exact booking requirements including travel/booking date range(s), number and age of travellers and special requirements if any.
    4. The price-beat request and any subsequent travel plan and/or booking is subject to our standard booking conditions.

    A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.

    5. TRAVEL/TOUR PACKAGE DEPOSIT GUARANTEE

    This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.

    1. The deposit amount will be deducted from the price if you proceed.
    2. The deposit amount will be refunded in the event that the proposed travel dates are not within the requested date range(s).
    3. Subject to 5.2, if you do not proceed, the deposit amount will be forfeited.

    5. MEMBERSHIP TO BE CURRENT

    Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

    Your Itinerary

    Over the course of 8 days, delve into the finest of Singapore's dual realms: its lively urban hubs and eco-friendly green spaces. From culinary delights and sightseeing excursions to hiking adventures and kayaking expeditions, you'll immerse yourself in a comprehensive array of experiences, embracing all that Singapore has to offer.

    "I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven't seen, how much I'm not going to see, and how much I still need to see." - Carew Papritz

    DAY 1:SINGAPORE (7 NIGHTS)

    Arrive at Changi Airport and enjoy a private transfer to your hotel. Relax and unwind from your flight for the rest of the day.

    Enjoy multi-cultural Singapore with 7 nights accommodation. Located in the city centre and near the metro, you can easily explore to your hearts content.

    DAY 2: SINGAPORE CITY TOUR

    Take a Singapore city tour to orient yourself with popular districts like Chinatown, Little India and Marina Bay. Your half-day tour starts in the Civic District, where you’ll see government buildings and other landmarks such as the Parliament House, the Cricket Club, Padang sports field and the National Gallery Singapore, where the former Supreme Court Building and City Hall sit. Then stop for a view of Marina Bay and photo op of the Merlion statue, Singapore’s mythological figure that’s half-fish, half-lion. Next, visit Thian Hock King, one of the city’s oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples, followed by a drive through Chinatown.


    Famous Merlion in Singapore

    Stop by the National Orchid Garden, part of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is home to 60,000 orchids of various colors and hybrids. Your last stop is the neighborhood of Little India, where you can take in the lively atmosphere and delicious scents coming out of the many Indian restaurants. When your tour ends, you’ll have a helpful overview of the city so you can decide where you want to return later to explore in more depth on your own.

    In the evening, wildlife enthusiasts can get up close to nocturnal and crepuscular animals at Singapore Zoo’s Night Safari. This after-dark adventure lets visitors see over 130 species including threatened species in a natural environment simulating native habitats.


    Singapore Zoo's Night Safari

    DAY 3: GARDENS BY THE BAY 

    Leave the city to breathe in fresh early morning air on a treetop walk at MacRitchie Reservoir Park. Take on the 11km nature trail loop through tropical rainforest or opt for leisurely walks along the water’s edge and admire the serenity of the reservoir.


    The spectacular Gardens by the Bay awaits

    Back in the city, head to the Gardens by the Bay, a 250-acre futuristic nature park, home to plants from around the world. Enter a world of perpetual spring at the Flower Dome and see thousand-year-old olive trees from the Mediterranean, baobab trees from Africa, and an impressive landscape of colorful flowers of stunning variety. Traverse the mist-veiled Cloud Walk around the central Highlands mountain cloaked in orchids, pitcher plants and ferns with man-made waterfall. Check out the Supertree grove and admire the imposing tree-like structures, covered with over 162,000 plants and embedded with environmentally sustainable functions like photovoltaic cells to harvest solar energy.

    DAY 4: BUKIT TIMAH NATURE RESERVE

    Today, spend the morning at one of Singapore's top hiking areas, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve which encompasses many smaller parks and areas offering many different hiking trails. Start at the Visitor Center to learn about the varieties of flora and fauna found in the park through interactive touchscreens and informative forest ecology and tree-spotting displaces. Spot the two Sumatran tiger replicas on display, an homage to the species that used to roam the reserve. Push yourself to the limits as you climb Singapore’s tallest hill on trails that wind through pockets of hill dipterocarp forest, not found anywhere else on the island.


    Hike through Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

    The rest of the day is yours to relax at leisure.

    DAY 5: KAYAKING IN PULAU UBIN

    Spend the day on Pulau Ubin, a small island an hour away from the city that recalls a time when the city-state’s infrastructure was limited to wooden house villages and wooden jetties, and surrounded by wildlife. Considered the last kampong or native village, Pulau Ubin exhibits a rural idull with its working village wells and absence of electric power lines.


    Pulau Ubin Mangrove Kayaking

    Explore the island on foot or by bicycle. Adventurous types can take on steep and short climbs and descents or a five-mile path through open meadows and thick jungle.
    While here, journey through the mangroves in a kayak and explore the natural beauty of this ecosystem. At the southeastern tip of the island is Tanjong Check Jawa, a 250-acre wetland. Stroll on the boardwalk, which runs along the coast and into a mangrove, where you might spot local fauna including fiddler crabs and monitor lizards. At the end of the boardwalk is a 66-foot viewing tower which you can climb to get a closer look at the tree canopy and its attendant birdlife.

    DAY 6: SINGAPORE'S CULTURE

    Today is devoted to exploring the diverse cultural enclaves of Singapore’s three dominant ethnic groups, and discover their delicious eats along the way with a comprehensive guided tour. Starting in Parkview Square, get to know the traditional pouring way of the Teh Tarik tea and sample some before heading to Haji Lane and enjoying one of Malaysia's favorite breakfast meals, Nasi Lemak.

    Next up, explore the quiet Malay heritage district of Kampong Glam. Admire the golden dome of the Sultan Mosque and an outdoor art gallery of street art and wall murals as you snack on delicious curry puffs.
    Journey to Chinatown next, where you can nibble and taste your way through a variety of restaurants, stalls, and shops. Top it off with a local favorite dessert, chendol: a refreshing mix of tapioca, fruits, milk, and ice.

    Finish off your tour in Little India; Create your own Indian Rojak - a mixture of savoury bites with spicy peanuts sauce, and taste Mango Lassi - one of the most favorite local drinks, at Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, and enjoy desert at Plaza Singapura.


    Singapore's Little India

    DAY 7: SINGAPORE

    Stroll Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, another wetland ecosystem that is easier to traverse with wooden plank trails through its tidal ponds and mangrove forests. An ecological jewel and haven for wildlife, its native inhabitants include mudskippers, crabs, water snakes, birds, monitor lizards, otters, and more. Spot resident birds such as herons, king fishers and sunbirds while migratory birds such as the great egret, marsh sandpiper and Himalayan swiftlet visit in the fall through winter. Opt for a free guided tour with an expert in the field for in-depth information about the animals and ecosystem on your nature walk.

    DAY 8: RETURN TO AUSTRALIA

    Enjoy a final breakfast and taste of Singapore before the private transfer to the airport for your flight onward.
