Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Immerse yourself in Balinese culture by tucking into lots of delicious street food, meeting songket weavers, witnessing a traditional Kecak dance performance and visiting a Hindu-Buddhist island temple.
Hike to the summit of Mt Batur for a truly dazzling sunrise view that stretches across the Lombok Strait, all the way over to the peaks of Mt Rinjani.
Escape the tourists (and the heat!) in the lovely, peaceful village of Undisan, which sits in the lush Balinese hills.
Walk through the lush green surroundings of Ubud – Bali’s cultural heart – and gain an insight into daily village life.
Cycle, hike and snorkel – this trip is steeped in outdoor activities. Don’t worry, there's also plenty of free time to relax, bathe in hot springs or laze on the beach.
Is this trip right for you?
A good level of fitness is essential on this trip, as there are several physical activities included (cycling from Ubud, walking up Mt Batur at sunrise and snorkelling in Bali Barat National Park).
There is one very early start – your sunrise climb of Mt Batur kicks off at 3 am. This means you'll be walking over some gravel and volcanic rock in the dark. Head torches, warm clothing and good walking shoes are a must. The view at sunrise is well worth the effort, especially if the weather's fine!
We visit villages and small towns on this trip, where life is more conservative than in the tourist areas. You will need to bring clothes that allow your shoulders and knees to be covered for both men and women. At some hot springs, you’ll need to wear a t-shirt and shorts over your swimwear.
Bali is blessed with a consistent climate for most of the year. However, the rainy season (usually October to March) brings frequent downpours. The good news is that these rainy bursts don't last long, and it is usually still warm.
Itinerary
