Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Float in the ocean, sunbake on the beach and conquer a volcano at sunrise – the island landscapes of Bali make for an epic experience.
Bike around Gili T on a tour of the remote island, with a local leader who knows all the best spots – maybe see some sea turtles while snorkelling or just kick back with a good book and a cocktail.
Wake up at 3 am and climb a mountain – the sunrise will be worth it! Watching the day come alive at the top of Mt Batur is worth every minute of sleep you lose.
Let a local show you their favourite dishes, from nasi campur to all kinds of other delicacies during a street food tasting in Seminyak.
Soak up every drop of Ubud's relaxed atmosphere, from the calming jungle to the rice paddies waiting to be explored. Is this heaven or just Indonesia?
Is this trip right for you?
Part of what makes this part of the world so appealing is the warm weather, so it probably won’t come as a surprise that Bali can be extremely hot and humid. It’s also important to note that the temperature can drop in the evening. Layers are the best way to tackle this disparity in weather.
Climbing Mt Batur on Day 4 to watch the sunrise from the top of the volcano is one of the highlights of this trip, just be aware that this will involve starting the hike at 3 am. The climb takes around 2 hours and requires a good level of fitness.
This trip affords lots of free time so that you can experience Bali the way you imagined. If you need activity options, your leader will be on hand to help.

Itinerary
Tone it down then turn it up on this Balinese adventure
Find peace, relaxation and adventure with a trip around Bali. Starting in the patchouli-infused Ubud, you can explore the jungle or cycle around rice paddies before ascending Mt Batur at sunrise and creating epic memories. Kick back on Gili T and soak up island life as you enjoy loads of free time to snorkel over reefs, snap a few sunsets and throw down some beers. End it all in Seminyak with some of the best beachy nightlife you’ll ever find, even more sunsets (the colours!) and a massage (or three).

This trip was a great mix of relaxing and exploring, and doing things together and on your own. Our group leader, Wayan, was fantastic and made this trip as good as it was. A lovely group and a fun way to see parts of Bali and Gili!!

I loved this trip! Coming from Oahu, I was skeptical about making friends, but our guide Wayan coined us the "Bali Family." His positive attitude and inclusivity helped us bond. I met amazing people from around the world. I highly recommend this trip! Thank you, Wayan, for making me feel at home!

If you are looking for a beautiful 10 day trip, look no further than this Bali adventure! Tini, our guide, is the best person ever and showed us the beauties of this island while bringing joy and laughs at every turn. 10/10
