What's Not Included

Accommodation

11 nights of twin-share accommodation are included in this trip. All rooms are equipped with an ensuite bathroom, air con and Wi-Fi. Every hotel has its own pool and restaurant to ensure your stay is equally comfortable and enjoyable. 

Meals

11 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 dinner is included in this trip. You’ll need to buy the rest of the meals yourself.

Balinese food is traditionally rich in flavour and layered with spice while still tasting fresh. Staple dishes include juicy grilled chicken, fried tofu, mixed vegetables, heaps of white rice and spicy sambal on the side. From meaty satay sticks to mixed rice platters wrapped in banana leaves, Balinese food makes a delightful impression.

If you’d prefer to eat international cuisine, you’ll find anything imaginable in Canggu. Italian, American, Asian fusion… You name it, and Canggu has probably got it!

While Bali is renowned for its inclusive food options, travellers should keep in mind that there may be limited options the further we travel away from Canggu. Please let us know of any dietary restrictions prior to arrival so that we can arrange alternatives for you ahead of time.

Arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport where you'll be picked up and transferred to our centrally located accommodation. Take some time to soak up Canggu's feel-good vibe or head into the ocean yourself, before meeting up with the rest of our group. This evening we'll enjoy drinks on the rooftop while the sun sets, and get to know each other over our first dinner together!

Kick off your day the right way with a beginner-friendly surfing lesson! You'll be guided every step of the way by one of our expert instructors, who knows where all the best waves and less crowded spots are. After the lesson has finished, the rest of today is free and open.

Enjoy a chilled morning as we head north to the scenic bay of Pemuteran. Along the way, we'll dip into the jungle-clad mountains in search of secret treasures. We'll leave for Pemuteran in the late afternoon for, you guessed it, another of Bali's otherworldly sunsets. This is the Island of the Gods we're talking about.

We've got an action-packed day on Menjangan Island. Named after the deer who live on the island, you'll get to befriend and feed these beautiful creatures after eating an included lunch. Then we'll be exploring more natural wonders with swimming gear on. What makes this trip even more special is that we'll get to visit the Biorock Project: a local-led initiative to boost coral growth. After a busy day, enjoy happy hour cocktails by the pool!

Our journey to Ubud begins at the hidden Banyumala Waterfalls, where you'll have the opportunity to meet a local family and discover their historic coffee making traditions. After lunch, we will arrive in Ubud - with Cascading emerald rice terraces, purifying water temples, cheeky monkeys, yoga retreats and rainforest rivers... Ubud is quintessential Bali. Once we've checked into our next hotel - which feels like a peaceful sanctuary amid the bustle of Ubud - you will have free time to explore.

Today we'll explore more of Ubud, starting with a visit to the Monkey Forest Temple. Our next stop is the famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces, where we'll have the chance to walk through the fields, learn more about the location's rural history and take plenty of photos. Lastly, we will visit a sacred water temple and take part in a water purification ceremony. The afternoon is open for you to explore the abundance of nearby activities.

It's an early rise this morning for a view that's beyond words. There's nothing quite like this hike up the ancient Mount Batur to catch the sun rising over the landscape. You'll be greeted not just by the spectacular vista, but also with a cup of coffee and breakfast cooked using the lava stones!

After a quick ferry ride to Nusa Penida, we'll dive into the island's natural wonders, visiting the remarkable Broken Beach, the Jurassic-like Kelingking beach and Angel Billabong! The day finishes off with an escape to Crystal Bay for a divine sunset over white sand.

Today we're exploring more of Nusa Penida - this time in the water! We'll board our boat this morning for a tour around the miniature but mighty bays that make up Nusa Penida. Our final stop is the legendary Manta Bay, where we'll put on our snorkelling gear and dive into the water. Home to one of the world's greatest populations of Manta Rays, today's your chance to see these friendly giants in the wild, smiling up at you as you swim by. Afterwards, we will visit the Diamond Beach viewpoint where you will be treated with a view of the pristine coastline.

Please note: Manta Rays are wild animals, therefore, sightings are not guaranteed.

Today we'll escape to an island paradise where there's not a car or motorbike in sight. After a quick ferry journey from Nusa Penida, we'll check in and enjoy a free afternoon. In the evening, join us for a meaningful sunset beach clean in partnership with the Gili Eco Trust. The rest of the evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure.

Other than its astonishing sunsets, rich marine life and magnetic nightlife, the one thing Gili T is most known for is island-hopping! Today we'll take a private tour around the surrounding islands and soak up the exquisite scenery that lies above and below the crystal waters. The rest of today is open for you to enjoy Gili T at your own pace.

What a blast it's been! Today we'll check out at 10am and arrive in Canggu at around 2pm. Booking a flight no earlier than 6pm is highly recommended so that you can get to the airport in plenty of time. Return airport transfers are not included, but your trip leader can help you to organise this. Alternatively, you may wish to extend your stay further in Bali (we don't blame you!).

Please note activities and itineraries are subject to change.
