Action Asia is a riveting new adventure travel program which takes a four young professionals, ranging from a Law Office Manager to a Taiwanese Pop Star, on amazing journeys to experience some of Asia’s most exotic terrain through adventure sports.

This is an incredible reality adventure travel experience for the avid armchair traveler. Here are the best kept secrets in Asia, pristine locations and a quest for excitement and beauty. The viewer will experience first hand the thrill, mental and physical challenges of the cast during an unrehearsed test of limits! After reaching beautiful remote Mergui, a grouping of 800 islands inhabited only by nomadic sea gypsies, Paveena and Fred are treated to an inside look at the local culture where fishing is conducted without lines, nets or hooks. Then the adventure begins. Fred is a novice diver, the challenge that awaits…massive schools of Baracuda, and cave diving with sharks. As if that wasn’t excitement enough, an emergency rescue ensues on the last dive!

We then go on to experience Rock Climbing in South Korea, after a brief lesson in the basics of rock climbing from some of Korea’s most respected alpinists, Terrence and Sandra are challenged to ascend the sheer 811 meter face of Insubong Peak. Although requiring endurance to reach, the peak proves to be an even more daunting challenge mentally, testing the absolute limit for Sandra and Terrence!
