Experience Overview
Find peace, relaxation and adventure with a trip around Bali. Starting in the patchouli-infused Ubud, you can explore the jungle or cycle around rice paddies before ascending Mt Batur at sunrise and creating epic memories. Kick back on Gili T and soak up island life as you enjoy loads of free time to snorkel over reefs, snap a few sunsets and throw down some beers. End it all in Seminyak with some of the best beachy nightlife you’ll ever find, even more sunsets (the colours!) and a massage (or three).
Highlights
- Float in the ocean, sunbake on the beach and conquer a volcano at sunrise – the island landscapes of Bali make for an epic experience.
- Bike around Gili T on a tour of the remote island, with a local leader who knows all the best spots – maybe see some sea turtles while snorkelling or just kick back with a good book and a cocktail.
- Wake up at 3 am and climb a mountain – the sunrise will be worth it! Watching the day come alive at the top of Mt Batur is worth every minute of sleep you lose.
- Let a local show you their favourite dishes, from nasi campur to all kinds of other delicacies during a street food tasting in Seminyak.
- Soak up every drop of Ubud's relaxed atmosphere, from the calming jungle to the rice paddies waiting to be explored. Is this heaven or just Indonesia?

Itinerary
Salamat Datang! Welcome to Bali. Your adventure begins in the rice paddy-lined oasis of Ubud, in the mountains of Bali. You're free to arrive whenever you like before your welcome meeting this evening at 6 pm. If you do arrive early, maybe stroll around town, soak up the vibe and immerse yourself in all that leafy Ubud has to offer. After the meeting, go out for an optional group dinner and feast on delicious local cuisine.
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Today is a free day to explore the temples, wander through the rice paddy fields or visit the famous art and craft markets in the town centre. Maybe get up early and start your day with a yoga class, then use your free time to join in on some fun optional activities like a cycling tour, white-water rafting or a cooking class. If you'd prefer to freewheel it, you can just hire a bike and ride around Ubud's lush countryside. For lunch, maybe seek out some of the Balinese specialty – Babi Guling (the Indonesian version of roast pork).
Optional Activities:
- Ubud - Cooking class (350000 IDR)
- Ubud - Saraswati Temple Lotus Garden (50000 IDR)
- Ubud - Bali Cycling Tour (700000 IDR)
- Ubud - Whitewater rafting (750000 IDR)
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Depart Ubud for Batur this morning, visiting the Tirta Empul Water Temple along the way. Tirta Empul, translating to holy water spring, was built in the 10th century as a place of ritual purification for Balinese Hindus and is still very much in use. This is the real deal, and you’ll see the local Balinese come here to bathe in the pools and purify themselves under the waterspouts. Next, head to the stunning rice terraces at Tegalalang to take a stroll. This is a great spot to take that perfect photo of beautiful Bali. When you arrive in Batur, you might want to rest, relax and recharge, ready for a jam-packed day tomorrow.
Included Activities:
- Ubud - Tirta Empul Water Temple
- Tegalalang - Rice Terraces
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Rise and shine early birds (at 3 am) – it's time for a good ol' fashioned crater hike. At 1717 m high, Mt Batur sits inside a spectacular caldera along with Lake Batur. The lake supports the local fishing industry, while many villagers work as guides for the volcano climb. You'll be just in time to witness the sunrise over the valleys of Bali! On a clear morning, it's possible to see all the way across the Lombok Strait to the peaks of Mt Rinjani. After descending the volcano, there may be an option to soak in hot springs with great views over the lake and caldera. Later in the afternoon, head southwest to beachside Candidasa. When you arrive, maybe chill out by the beach and let your muscles rest after your glorious hike.
Included Activities:
- Mt Batur - Sunrise volcano climb
Optional Activities:
- Mt Batur - Hot springs (280000 IDR)
Accommodation:
- Guesthouse (Number of Nights: 1)
Drive to Padangbai this morning and jump on a speedboat to Gili Trawangan, or Gili T – the Goldilocks of the three Gili islands, striking the perfect balance between Gili Air's hippie vibe and Gili Meno’s low-key honeymoon atmosphere. Check in to your resort, then begin exploring on two wheels during a cycling orientation tour with your leader. Get insider island info on the best places to watch the sunset and the best beaches to soak up the salt air. Luckily for you, you’ll get access to the resort’s bicycles for the duration of your stay, so getting from A to B will be a peddle-powered breeze. After your cycling tour, spend the rest of the night however you like, just remember that bare feet are the basis of the dress code.
Included Activities:
- Gili Trawangan - Leader-Led Orientation Cycling Trip
- Gili Trawangan – Bike Hire (3 Days)
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Enjoy a free day on Gili T. Why not join an optional cooking or yoga class or go snorkelling in the unbelievably clear waters. You could even head out on a motorised wooden boat around the Gili Islands, jumping straight off the boat and coming face-to-face with marine life, including colourful fish, coral reefs and of course, sea turtles. The Gili Islands are a famous snorkelling destination and probably the best spot in South East Asia for turtle-spotting. If you’d prefer, just kick back with a cocktail and do nothing!
Optional Activities:
- Gili Air - Snorkelling (1100000 IDR)
- Gili Trawangan - Cooking class (385000 IDR)
- Gili Trawangan - Yoga Class (120000 IDR)
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Today is just another day in paradise. Maybe jump on another boat for more snorkelling or take it super easy and set up on the beach with a book, a coconut and a cocktail. You could also grab a bike and go for another ride – all three of the Gili Islands are tiny, but it’ll still sound pretty cool when you tell your friends that you circumnavigated an island on wheels.
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Have a leisurely breakfast and one last swim on Gili T before walking back to the port and taking a speedboat to Padangbai. From here, you’ll drive to upmarket Seminyak, where the sunsets are legendary, the beaches are plentiful, the nightlife is lively, and there are more spas, bars, massages and treatments than you can poke at. When you arrive, step out with your leader on an included food tasting. Your leader knows all the best dishes, so unbuckle your belt and try some nasi campur (a mixed plate of rice, veggies and meats) and other local street foods. Continue to a beach club tonight, where you can beat the heat with an included drink.
Included Activities:
- Seminyak – Street Food Tasting
- Seminyak - Beach Club Visit
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Give today a real Semin-crack with a range of optional activities to fill up your blissful free time. Maybe café hop (the colourful cafes in Seminyak are endless), laze by the beach or get active and take a surf lesson. You can’t hit Seminyak without soaking up the sun at another beach club in the afternoon. Ever heard of Potato Head? Cocoon? Ku de Ta? Sit back, listen to the tunes, splash around in the pool and watch the sun go down with a cocktail or coconut in hand. Toast to the final full day of the trip with your newfound travel companions and dance the night away.
Optional Activities:
- Seminyak - Bali ‘Eat Street’ Local Food Urban Adventure (45 USD)
- Legian - Rip Curl Surfing Lesson (includes transport) (750000 IDR)
Accommodation:
- Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)
Your Bali adventure comes to an end today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to swim, snorkel, sleep and tan – if you’d like to stay longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.

This was an enjoyable trip and a great way to see and experience the real Bali. Tini was an awesome leader who looked after our group extremely well. The trip contained a good balance of inclusions and free time. A highlight of the trip was visiting the Gili Islands and snorkeling with turtles.

Well sequenced destinations and activities that I would certainly have struggled to plan myself. Mt Batur and the inland mountains were a particular highlight that previously I wouldn't have thought of myself. Our tour guide was faultless and the group was fantastic.

Such an amazing trip around Bali and Gili T! Our leader Wayan made Bali feel like home, and our group feel like a family. From chilling with monkeys in Ubud to climbing Mt.Batur, and snorkelling with turtles and bar crawling in Gili T, every stop on this trip is fun and brings new adventures!

Great way to explore Bali for an affordable price. Accomodation was great value for price and trip highlight was the Gili islands. Trip size was also perfect. Room for improvement: better restaurant / cafes could be recommended

This trip was the perfect blend of all things Bali. From immersing ourselves in the tropical jungle, to climbing mountains, swimming with sea turtles and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Gili, not to mention a drink and boogie along the way, I couldn’t recommend this trip more. It went for the perfect amount of time and was extremely flexible, catering to anything you wanted to do. Our group leader Jielly (Ell) created a real sense of family amongst our little group. He was the most fun, approachable and entertaining guide we could’ve asked for. Would recommend him and this tour to anyone visiting Bali!

What an amazing trip!! I highly recommend it if you are looking for something where you do one to two group activities a day and then have solo/couple activities that are up to you to decide with a guide’s recommendations.
