Experience Overview
Brimming with incredible landscapes and super friendly locals, Bali and Lombok are the ideal havens for the nature-loving traveller. On this 12-day active adventure, you’ll go white water rafting just outside of lush Ubud, stroll through rice paddies and small villages on the way to Candidasa, wind your way along the slopes of Mount Agung and climb the mythical route to Lempuyang Temple. Relax on the beach, trek through monkey-filled forests to Mt Rinjani and go snorkelling in search of sea turtles in the remote Gili Islands. Learn about Balinese cultures and traditions along the way, from Hindu temples to old-fashioned blacksmithing and get to know the easy going Balinese way of life!
Highlights
- Hike through lush forests as you make the challenging full-day climb to the rim of Mt Rinjani, where spectacular views across Bali, the Gili Islands and Mt Agung reward your efforts.
- Swim and snorkel among the colourful marine life and friendly sea turtles on a boat trip around the Gili Islands – this paradisical archipelago will steal your heart!
- Navigate through Class 2 and Class 3 rapids on a whitewater rafting experience just outside of Ubud, against a backdrop of green rainforest, deep gorges and lush rice paddies.

Amazing trip full of fun times, laughter and unforgettable memories! Such a diverse range of activities each day to get the heart rate going, with a lovely amount of downtime too. Mount Rinjani was super tough but a real highlight! I also recommend the optional dive to see the US liberty shipwreck.

This is the perfect adventure holiday and a wonderful way to see so much of this amazing country. I very much enjoyed all of the activities but I suppose the highlight was climbing to the crater rim of Mount Rigani. I came home feeling so much better physically and spiritually.

Our group leader Andy Swandi is a type of tour guide I hope to have on every trip I take from now on!! He made every activity enjoyable no matter how physically exhausting it may have been. The itinerary was well thought out with adequate resting periods. There was not a dull moment. Very well coordinated even with multiple location changes. It was one of the most memorable adventure I’ve ever taken and I can’t wait to go on another with Intrepid.

I had such a great time in Bali and Lombok. The included activities are excellent and our guide Andy was brilliant. The Mt Rinjani trek was very challenging but equally rewarding. Highly recommend this trip!

This trip was the best thing I ever done for myself. I recently went through a painful divorce so this was my way of rediscovering myself. Everything on this trip was everything I didn't know I needed. My self-esteem, self-beliefs, and overall mental health were at risk but after this trip, I found myself again. Thanks to Mt. Rinjani!

Sinead - Traveled, September 2023
Wow! Trip of a lifetime, even more spectacular than the write up suggests! Seamlessly organised. Andy is a star. Take an underwater camera to get amazing photos snorkelling alongside sea turtles! Each accommodation had its own wow factor. Recommend a windbreaker jacket for the camping, very windy and exposed.

I attended the Bali & Lombok: Hike, Bike And Raft trip. If you are considering it, come prepared to walk, hike, cycle, and raft with some of the best likeminded people you could ever meet. Also, ask for Andy to be your guide! He is amazing!!

This is the most amazing trip, with a fantastic guide. Andy expertly led our group cycling through verdant firsts to the ocean, to walking through paddy fields up to the heavenly temple - all leading up to an epic hike up Mount Rinjani to watch sunset and sunrise over the crater rim. Truly amazing. You do need to be relatively fit as the mountain trek in particular is challenging but worth every moment. Top tip - take. a bivy bag to keep warm inside your sleeping bag. Have fun - it’s absolutely fantastic!
