Trip Informations
From the fervent pace of Jakarta to the back alleys of Ubud, the islands of Bali and Java are Indonesia’s most celebrated duo – a treasure trove of beautiful beaches, rolling hills and dynamic cities. Be charmed by Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage, witness traditional dance performances and explore ornate temples. Get to the heart of life on this famous archipelago by visiting rice paddies, beachside towns and remote villages and learning about the region’s traditional arts and crafts. And that’s not all – you’ll also join royalty at a palace in Ubud for a special dinner and traditional dance performance and you’ll hop aboard a yacht in Sanur to celebrate your trip over drinks and barbeque at sunset.
Why you’ll love this trip
Board a private yacht and take in Bali’s breathtaking southern coastline around Nusa Dua and the Bukit Peninsula as you watch the sunset and enjoy a delicious barbeque dinner.
Discover Java and Bali’s culture and traditions during exclusive activities like a Ramayana ballet and Balinese Legong dance performance, a storytelling lunch and a purification blessing.
Immerse yourself in the stories of the royal family and learn about Bali’s cultural traditions and royal family life as you dine on a meal fit for a king at a royal palace in Ubud.
Learn about local village life with village visits that include strolling through rice fields, learning about jewellery and crafts, and whipping up local specialties at an authentic cooking class.
Spend three nights at your Feature Stay in Yogyakarta – the Royal Ambarrukmo Hotel – which is part of the Royal Palace Yogyakarta complex. History abounds on site, including a former royal residence and gardens, and other historical Javanese treasures.
Is this trip right for you?
To view mountain tops for sunrise, we must start very early! Your sunrise breakfast near Mt Batur will require a departure around 4:30 am. The view at sunrise is well worth the early wake-up, especially if the weather's fine!

Premium Java and Bali gave an insight to the cultural differences between the two islands and immersed the group into traditions and local experiences. The ballet and Royal dinner were highlights and having the opportunity to see a mountain sunrise and ocean sunset on the trip was spectacular. The itinerary was great and accommodation excellent. Mochi our guide was helpful and made the trip an amazing experience. I highly recommend Java and Bali.

Just finished the Premium Java and Bali trip with Intrepid — it was amazing! Isa, our tour leader, was calm, organized, and professional, with a great sense of humour. He made everything run smoothly and kept the group laughing along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Great trip October 2025. Leader Sherly so inclusive, helpful and knowledgeable. For me the Batik lesson, the village walks most especially when we stumbled over wedding and another one a funeral were the highlights of a great trip. The group were great fun to be with. As, of course, you'd expect the Brits so delightful...but even the Aussies were okay. Not sure if you all will ever read this but thank you all and Sherly you made for a memorable holiday. Remember work, save, travel and repeat. Mike.
