Bali, Gili & Lembongan

When you land in Bali after your long flight, you´ll be met at the airport and transferred to your accommodation in Ubud. On the way you will leave the bustling streets of Kuta and pass rice fields, Balinese temples and small craft villages before arriving in Ubud. On arrival you’ll have time to recover from your flight, chill out and mingle with the rest of your travel crew.

Today you have a half-day trip where you will get to explore Ubud’s most famous spots. Hiking, rice fields, temples, waterfalls, and of course the Monkey Forest. You will also have the chance to learn the local language, "Bahasa." This may be helpful for the rest of your adventure.

After the day trip you’ll return to your accommodation where you’ll have the rest of the day free to explore Ubud on your own or with the rest of your travel crew. Be sure to check out the many temples, shops and a traditional Balinese dance.

Put on your hiking boots and daypack with warm clothing for an early morning departure and sunrise trek up Mt Batur. Pickup is between 1.30am and 2.30am. The uphill trek usually takes 1.5-2.5 hours depending on weather and fitness level.

Once you reach the summit, you have a chance to take in the incredible views of the landscape below, as the sun rises. After the sunrise, hike back down the mountain and return to Ubud where you’ll be able to enjoy a 1-hour Balinese massage to relax your muscles.

The rest of the day is free to explore on your own or with the rest of your group. Although the Mt. Batur is considered one of the easier volcano treks in Indonesia, you should still be prepared for a hard workout. 1.5-2.5 hours of walking uphill does require some effort.

Today you will depart for a wet experience – white water rafting! Your group will transfer to Telaga Waja River where you will get a safety briefing with your guide. The drive to the river is about 2 hours each way.

You will begin at the foothills of the sacred Mt. Agung where you will face your first set of rapids. Guides will give you instruction and work with you to safely navigate the raft through torrents, twists, tight turns. Take in the views of the ancient trees, gorges and rice plains along the way.

How “wild” the rafting will be, depends on the weather and water levels. After rafting you will have the rest of the day at leisure.

Transfer from Ubud to Amed. Today you will visit Tukad Cepung Waterfall, have lunch at Virgin beach and visit Taman Ujung Water Palace on the way to Amed. The waterfall is one of the most famous waterfalls on Bali. It’s not hard to understand why when you get there – the sight is amazing! Depending on water level, you might have to wade through knee-high water until you reach the waterfall so be sure to wear water friendly shoes.

Virgin beach is one of the least touched shorelines on the eastern coast of Bali. It’s a beach where the blend of local and touristic life is intertwined in a way that’s not found at most other beaches around the island.

The next stop is the Taman Ujung Water Palace. The Taman Ujung complex has a combination of Balinese and European architecture throughout three large ponds connected by long, elegant bridges and pathways. The physical features and superb mountainous backdrop to its north, and sea to its southwest, make it a favourite location for pre-wedding and artistic photographs.

Amed-Tulamben is very quiet compared to the main tourist areas of Bali. This morning enjoy snorkelling at the Tulamben (USS Liberty Shipwreck). The wreck is the most famous scuba diving and snorkelling site in Bali. The wreck lies near Tulamben, about 30m from the shore, and sits from 5 to 30 metres deep under the surface of the sea.

Covered by soft and hard corals, sea anemones and countless reef fish that have made a home out of this old ship, it became a unique and enjoyable snorkelling destination. Later in the day you will have a local basket weaving experience and learn about local hand crafts.

Today you’ll have the day at leisure to explore Amed-Tulamben. Relax on the beach, plan a diving excursion or explore nearby temples

Transfer from mainland Bali to the island paradise of Gili T. Upon arrival to the harbour on Gili T, you will walk to your hotel (+/- 500 metres for Gili Amor). You’ll have time to settle in and explore the lively island with the rest of your crew!

There are no cars on this island, so grab a bike and get out there to explore – you’ll have a bike tour with your guide to get to know the island! Hip cafes and coffee shops are scattered around the island. Explore in search of the best beach or sunset spot!

Depart for a day of snorkelling in the warm and clear water around the island. If you’re lucky you may spot a few turtles who call the ocean home! Spend the rest of the day exploring the island by bike.

Sleep in or wake up for sunrise, the choice is yours today! During your day at leisure you can relax at a beach café or catch some sun at the beach.

Make your way to the harbour of Gili T for your transfer to Lembongan by fast boat. On arrival you’ll be transferred to your accommodation where you have the rest of the day to explore your new island home-away-from-home!

This morning you are picked up to go on a 1-hour kayak or SUP trip in the waters of the island mangrove. The mangrove forest is a beautiful place to do this kind of activity.

Afterwards, continue to the famous Yellow Bridge where you can take some memorable pictures. Finally, we will conclude by visiting the beautiful Dream Beach and Devil´s Tears.

There’s so much to see on Lembongan, so today you have another free day to do so! You could do an optional tour to neighbouring Nusa Penida for a day of snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island. The Nusa islands offer the unforgettable experience of snorkelling with giant manta rays that call Manta Bay home.

You can also choose to venture to Mangrove Point, which lies at the northern coast of the island and is sprawling with coral gardens and fish, or visit Broken Beach and the Angel’s Billabong where you can enjoy the beauty of the blue azure horizon.

If you’re out and about, be sure to check out the Insta-worthy Kelingking Beach to snap a picture of the most photographed site on Nusa Penida.

Transfer back to Bali from Lembongan harbour by fast boat. On arrival to Sanur Harbour you’ll be picked up and transferred to your accommodation in Canggu.

Today we’ll hit the beach and be taught how to surf by local Balinese surf dudes in one of the world’s most famous surf destinations. Your surf instructor will explain the basics of surfing to you after a short safety and equipment briefing.

Make your way into the waves and practice your standing up, your balance and your paddling. After about 2 hours of surf-fun, say goodbye to your instructor and venture to Tanah Lot Temple.

Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most popular and important ocean temples on Bali. The temple sits in Beraban village on a rock that is only accessible at low tide. Hidden among the rocks and crevices surrounding Tanah Lot are many black sea snakes, which are believed to be the guardians of the temple.

Later in the evening you will have a farewell dinner with your guide. After today the remainder of your tour is unguided.

Canggu is a laid-back surfer town full of nice cafes, beach bars and boutique shops. During your day at leisure today you can enjoy all that the village has to offer.

Those feeling extra adventurous can venture to Munduk Wilderness Base Camp for a Luwak Trail Expedition. Here you’ll learn how to drive the Fin Komodo (ATV) and will visit the lakeside temple before boarding long canoes to explore the lake.

Take full advantage of your last full day on Bali. Today is another free day to do as you wish but we recommend heading south to check out the incredible Uluwatu Temple and the surrounding white sand beaches.

On this tour you’ll visit a temple set 70-metres above the sea on the edge of a cliff with amazing views. You’ll also venture to two hidden beaches for some much-needed relaxation. If interested, ask your guide for more information!

Bid farewell to Bali and the strangers who have become good friends during your adventure! Today you’ll be transferred to the Ngurah Rai Airport for your international flights home.
