Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
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.
Leave the tourist trail in Eastern Bali as you visit the lesser-known temples and villages of Tenganan Village and Pura Luhur Lempuyang. These are golden opportunities to learn about local Balinese culture.
Kick back and relax on the remote beaches of Amed and Gili Air with free time under the sun – the perfect places to rest your weary muscles after hiking and biking around Bali.
By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Tuuur Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip is designed for those who love to get active. While prior training may not be necessary, a good level of fitness will help you to get the most out of the activities on this trip.
The white water rafting excursion just outside Ubud (Day 2), involves Grade 2 and 3 rapids, so a level of confidence in the water is essential. Similarly, you'll need to be a confident swimmer for the Gili Islands snorkelling trip (Day 11).
You will cycle from the hills inland of Candidasa to the coast with a distance of approximately 31 km, which involves some hill climbs and steep descents and some off road sections.
Be prepared for a few nights without hot showers – hot water can sometimes be unreliable at some destinations.
The hike to the Mt Rinjari crater is demanding and can vary a great deal depending on the weather. The climb involves an ascent of 2000 m and a distance of 9 km in each direction with some steep and dusty sections. Be sure to bring strong, sturdy walking shoes and clothes for cold temperatures and an overnight bag that you’ll need to carry. All camping gear will be carried by porters.
Itinerary
Hike to a mountain crater, snorkel around Gili Air and cycle along Bali’s coastline on an active adventure
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!

The Lombok hike, bike and raft trip was amazing. Some of it was physically challenging but there was plenty of rest time in between. The trip was made far better having our guide Swandi ( Andy).

I cannot praise this trip enough. Amazing activities even though some were slightly more challenging and the whole trip was made even better by Andy, the best group leader.

Excellent trip, highly recommended. A lot of additional value added that was only apparent as the trip flowed seamlessly. Guide Andy was awesome. I would like to have had a bit more challenge but it was well pitched for a group and I'll select around that in future (or learn to chill more!).

Highly recommend this tour as it is a great mix of adventure and cultural experiences. Our group leader Swandi was amazing! Sharing local knowledge with us and encouraging us during physically tough activities.

Travelling with people I had never met before was a completely new experience for me, and to be honest, a little daunting at first. But I was pleasantly surprised by how well I fitted in, even though English isn’t my first language. I met some truly wonderful people, and we shared so many memorable moments together. This journey helped me realise that it’s not only okay to be yourself — it’s something to be proud of

This was my second experience with intrepid, and it won’t be my last. The tour included the unforgettable highlight of climbing Mount Rinjani, which is something I could never have contemplated without the support of a tour group. Overall, it was just the right combination of organized activities, and “downtime“ to do as we pleased.

First time travelling on an Intrepid group tour and couldn't recommend highly enough. The itinerary is well planned, with an interesting mix of adventure activities building to the Mt Rinjani hike and few recovery days on Gili Air. The hike is tough, but worth it, and a good pair of hiking boots made all the difference for my trip. Andy was an incredible trip leader - experienced, professional and enthusiastic. Definitely recommend this itinerary if you can't sit still on holiday and want to experience Bali/Lombok.

This was one of the best trips I ever made! All the activities brought the group together and we had so much fun. The Rinjari is challenging for sure!!! The trip is perfectly organized and it is a good balance between activities and free time.

This is an excellent trip for someone who wants to have an active holiday. The program builds to Rinjani with activities then chills at Gili. Be aware that if you struggle with the temple you are unlikely to enjoy Rinjani! Great mixture of activities.

Excellent trip for active people. Read the itinerary! Climbing Mt Rinjani is by far the most difficult part of the trip. The leader (Andy) is fantastic,!
