As we inch ever so close to the holiday season, I’m sure most of us 9-5ers are raring to jet off on a moment’s notice once December hits. Should you currently be planning to do the same, but have not quite settled on your itinerary or even a country to visit, then you’re in luck.
That’s because your dilemma coincides with Klook’s 10th Birthday, and they’re pushing out some of the most attractive travel deals to commemorate their big day. From free local tours across Asia to priceless experiences like swimming with whale sharks in the Maldives, here’s all you need to know about the best promotions that are surfacing alongside their birthday.
To kick things off, Klook is celebrating a decade of travel with what they know best; unforgettable adventures that you can’t quite slap a price tag on. Which is why they’ve got a bunch of them lined up for you, aptly called Money Can’t Buy Experiences.
Currently, there are a total of 11 Money Can’t Buy Experiences listings on the Klook website, and the best part is, they’re free. But before we get into the nitty gritty on how to bag one for yourself and a +1, let us reel you in by showing you what you’re in for.

One of the experiences that really caught our eye was the COMO Maldives Escape. Like a scene ripped straight from Love Island, you’ll be calling the luxurious COMO Maalifushi resort your home for this 3D2N escape to Thaa Atoll, a private island in the Maldives.
You won’t want to stay cooped up in your room for long though, as Day 2 of the experience will see you coming face-to-face with docile giants of the ocean; whale sharks. As you snorkel beside them under the cover of the star-lit night, a professional photographer will be on standby to capture your extraordinary encounter.
Another expedition that’s bound to create indelible memories is the 3D2N Golden Alpine Adventure, which will have you exploring the majestic Saas-Fee region of Switzerland. The resort village will serve as a gateway for alpine activities; spend your afternoons foraging for rare mushrooms, indulging in a raclette feast, and taking in panoramic views of the Swiss Alps.
A desert safari and glamping in the Al Marmoom Oasis in Dubai is another experience to consider vying for.

Winners will be contacted directly, so do keep tabs on your email and Klook app (App Store | Google Play).
Also part of the birthday bash are the free tours that Klook has generously prepared for travellers across Asia. They’ll be giving away over 3,500 of these tours in countries such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and even Singapore.

Those who are not able to attend Klook Travel Fest 2024 need not worry about missing out on these juicy travel bargains, as there is still Klook’s Birthday Sale to look forward to. You’ll want to bookmark the Klook Birthday Sale website, as they’ll be dropping new flash deals each week, along with having a slew of promo codes already available on the site.
Once your holiday destinations are locked in, you’ll probably wanna get your smartphones hooked up to eSIMs so you won’t have to go on the prowl for a physical one the moment you land. Thankfully, Klook is also showering us with free eSIMs too as part of their 10th birthday celebrations, to make staying connected to the Internet on our vacations a breeze.
Keep your folks back at home updated on your travels via video chat using eSIMs.
They’ve got eSIMs for various locations around the world, from Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan, to other frequently-visited destinations such as Australia, Europe, and USA. Copping one of Klook’s free eSIMs is simple; just head to Klook’s free travel eSIMs website, nab a promo code for one, and apply it when you’re booking your travel eSIM on Klook.
If you’re a Klook Gold member, you’ll be able to use the same promo code 3 times to redeem 3 different travel eSIMs, which are valid for 3 separate trips. Do note that these promo codes for your free eSIM are only valid for 3 months from issuance.
When it comes to travel deals, Klook’s arguably one of the best sites you can consult, having dabbled in the travel industry for a decade now. As such, now’s the time to start sorting out your EOY vacation plans, perhaps centred around the travel deals bonanza that has come about as a result of Klook’s 10th Birthday celebrations.
