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 really enjoyed this trip for its cultural immersion. I think if you are going and expecting a spiritual retreat with high luxury it may not be for you but if you want to learn what day-to-day life is for a typical Balinese family and want to feel immersed in their culture you should love this trip. Sherly was a great guide!

Couldn’t have asked for a better leader, a better group or a better trip.

Everyone in this group had different backgrounds, enjoy different things, and live in different parts of the world. However, our shared interest in culture and adventure allowed us all to come together and create memories that resonate long term.

I booked a trip with my 21 and 26 sons who weren’t too keen at the start but by the end were stoked to have experienced Bali more authentically and not just the party spots, so a real win for me. Allan, our guide was brilliant and the experiences were unforgettable, challenging and magic.

Fantastic immersive experience that was active and cultural that felt like visiting family and making friends. Small group and socially responsible tours are a great way to feel amazing after visiting a new country. I will absolutely do this again. Beautiful Bali was a great tour and amazing memory.

The trip was very good, lots of areas and activities included and a good pace. There was great variety in what we did fron climbing a mountain to snorkeling, riding bicycles to playing local instruments and so much more. Not too much travel time between stops. Our hotels were comfortable and our leader Yan was excellent as was our driver.
