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.

I could not recommend the Beautiful Bali trip more! It was a fantastic insight into Balinese culture with unique experiences and varied activities, with an excellent mix of inclusions and options to suit different travel styles. All of the accommodations were beautiful and the home stay was a heart warming experience to connect with and learn from the locals. I loved it!

Beautiful Bali is a great way to see all that Bali has to offer: from experiencing sunrise atop a volcano, to cycling through paddy fields, to snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of north-west Bali. Bookended by beautiful Ubud and bustling Sanur.

Amazing experience, lots of different activities and places visited, learned so much about Bali and enjoyed so much good local food. If youre looking for a trip to experience many different places and things in a short amount of time, this is the one. Not crazy busy but busy enough where you feel like you get to experience the whole island.

This trip was fantastic. The perfect balance of activities included, optional activities and free time. The time went in a flash. Highlights for me were climbing Mt Batur to see the sunrise and snorkeling, we were lucky enough to see a huge green turtle close up. The ethics and ethos of the trip are very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the home stay it was a very special experience.
