The streets are lined with some of the best restaurants in Bali, hip bars, and amazing local markets. Your hotel is located in the middle of town, within walking distance of the beach.
Here, you can either try your hand at surfing or watch as everyone else does! In the evening, you will meet your group for the first time with a sunset rooftop drink before heading to the included welcome dinner together at the hotel.
Surf’s up! Time to hit the waves. Our tours specialise in finding non-touristy areas for you to experience Bali. Today, you will have the opportunity to opt in to surf away from the crowd with one of our expert instructors. The rest of your day is free for you to chill on the beach, join a yoga class, or catch some more waves. During dinner, you will have the chance to check out your surf images and enjoy your final night in Canggu.
Today, you will head to Sanur, where you will take a short ferry to Nusa Penida. After checking into a boutique hotel, you will explore the best of Nusa Penida. Get your camera ready, as you will visit the famous photo spots at Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel Billabong! The day will end with a beautiful sunset at Crystal Bay.
Today, you will board a private boat to explore the breathtaking tiny bays of Nusa Penida. Your captain will take you to the best spots for snorkelling with the opportunity to see Manta Bay, exotic fish, turtles, and more.
The highlight of the trip is visiting Manta Bay, which has one of the highest populations of Manta Rays in the world. Snorkelling with the Mantas is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that we are thrilled to share with you while ensuring it is done in an ethical way that does not disrupt the day-to-day lives of the Mantas.
Afterwards, you will head over to the East side where you will visit Diamond Beach Viewpoint.
The next stop is Gili T! Famed for its snorkelling, abundance of sea turtles, and great nightlife. After a short ferry ride from Nusa Penida, you will check into your accommodation and have lunch before venturing out to explore the island. With no cars allowed on the island, you will get around by bicycle. Enjoy the pool at the hotel beach club that overlooks the ocean, and then in the evening, join us for a sunset beach clean with the Gili Eco Trust. The evening is yours, catch a movie on the beach or experience the nightlight which Gili T has to offer.
This morning, you will embark on our private island hopping trip to visit all the famous sights of Gili T. Our itinerary includes swimming with turtles, the famous underwater statues, and exploring coral reefs. The evening is free for you to explore, so make sure to check out some of the cool restaurants and hip reggae bars in the area.
Today, you will take the ferry back to Bali and continue our drive into the central foothills of the island to the magical town of Ubud. Known for its world-class yoga practices, beautiful rice terraces, and incredible food. You will have some free time to explore after checking in to your accommodation.
Experience the best of Ubud. Start your day by visiting the Monkey Forest Temple to meet some furry friends. Next, you will head to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, a popular Instagram spot. After that, you will visit a sacred water temple to make an offering and take part in a water purification ceremony.
The rest of the day is yours to explore further, whether it’s visiting coffee plantations to try the world’s most expensive coffee, trying out the famous Instagram swing, taking a yoga class or having a relaxing massage.
You will be waking up early in the morning to hike Mount Batur, which can only be described as otherworldly. You will take a quick hike to secure a great spot at the viewpoint, where you will witness the sunrise and enjoy a well-deserved cup of coffee. It will be an unforgettable experience, almost like being on Mars!
After sunrise, you will head over to the crater’s edge, where you’ll have a 360-degree view of Batur Lake and the incredible surrounding landscapes and villages.
Following the hike, you’ll have the rest of the day to relax back in Ubud.
You will head north today with our final destination being the sleepy seaside village of Pemuteran. First, you will stop at the incredible and hidden Banyumala waterfalls, where you will meet a local family who will teach you all about how they have been making coffee the same way for almost 100 years.
After lunch, you will head to Pemuteran, where you will hopefully catch one of those glorious Bali sunsets!
Get ready for a big day of exploring the surrounding reefs of Menjangan Island. Menjangan Island is part of Bali West National Park which extends from the mainland. You will spend the day snorkelling around the reefs which are beautiful and home to an array of underwater life.
