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).

The Bali trip was an incredible experience for me. Activities, travel and accommodation were well organised. Our group leader was helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable. I felt very safe throughout my trip. The trip was excellent value for money and all accommodation was good quality. I met a fabulous group of girls and made memories to last a lifetime! I would highly recommend booking with Intrepid!

Our Bali trip lead by Putra was phenomenal. We got very lucky with a group of 9 girls. Putra took care of us all so well, he was always visible and reliable. The trip would not have been the same without him we got very lucky. All the trip transport, accommodation and food was excellent. The trip was booked in a very logical way. Will defo recommend

An amazing trip! All the reviews about Wayan are true, he really is the best. I loved this trip because it had a wide range of activities/environments from the rice fields of Ubud, to the top of Mt Batur, to the beaches of Gili T. Also, Balinese people are some of the nicest I have ever met. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

I'd highly recommend this trip if you want to have some fun. It has a great balance of adventure (rafting, Mt Batur hike, snorkelling), food appreciation (cooking class, coffee tasting, recommendations from tour guide), relaxation / down time and partying (Gilly T). We visited so many naturally beautiful places that look great on the Instagram carousel. When I said goodbye to our tour guide, Spicy, and the rest of the group, I was extremely sad. I made friends for life!

This trip was amazing, the tour leader and the group of people were amazing! It looks like you have a lot of free time but there’s always activities going on - our tour guide made sure we were always busy, always informed and always having the best time! I want to do this all over again!!!

Very enjoyable trip, great team dynamic and our tour leader who Putra did such a great job - always checking in on us, making sure we were safe, helping us organise last min excursions, he really went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend this trip for solo travellers and couples.

This trip is greatly planned, with an itinerary balancing free time and activities, offering a well-rounded experience of Bali! Wayan was exceptional and truly made the journey memorable.
