Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Bali

Arrive in Bali and transfer to Ubud, a serene town surrounded by lush rice fields. Spend the afternoon settling in and exploring the nearby markets and cafes. In the evening, gather for a welcome briefing by the pool and a group dinner to kick off the adventure.

After breakfast, embark on a full-day tour exploring Ubud’s hidden gems. Visit the enchanting Tukad Cepung Waterfall, and Experience a spiritual cleansing ritual at Tirta Empul Temple. End the day with a walk through the iconic Tegalalang Rice Fields, a UNESCO heritage site.

Begin the day with a visit to a local market to learn about Indonesian ingredients and spices. Head to a scenic cooking school overlooking the rice fields to prepare traditional Balinese dishes like Nasi Goreng and Satay. Enjoy a delicious lunch featuring your culinary creations while soaking in the views.

Rise early for a challenging yet rewarding sunrise trek up Mount Batur, one of Bali’s most active volcanoes. After a 2-hour climb, witness the sun rising over the island’s volcanic landscape while enjoying a packed breakfast. Descend and return to Ubud for a well-deserved rest (or optional spa treatment.)

Check out from Ubud and catch a ferry to Gili Trawangan, a small, car-free island known for its laid-back vibes and pristine beaches. After settling in, spend the afternoon unwinding by the pool or exploring the local boutiques and beach clubs.

Board a boat for a guided snorkeling adventure around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. Swim with turtles at Turtle Point, explore underwater statues, and relax on the white sandy shores of Gili Meno. Enjoy lunch at a beachfront restaurant on Gili Air before heading back to Gili T in the afternoon.

A full day to relax and explore Gili Trawangan at your own pace. Rent a bicycle and ride around the island, pamper yourself with a spa treatment, or simply chill at one of the many beach clubs. Optional activities include jewelry-making classes, sunset cocktails, or a visit to the famous Gili swings.

Take a boat to Lombok for a day of adventure and culture. Trek through the lush forests to reach the stunning Sedang Gile Waterfall, where you can cool off in the refreshing waters. Later, visit a traditional village in Sanur to learn about the island’s unique heritage and enjoy a traditional lunch overlooking the national park.

Check out from Gili T and catch a ferry back to Bali, then transfer to the trendy surf town of Canggu. Spend the rest of the afternoon exploring Canggu’s boutiques, cafes, and sunset bars.

In the morning we will meet with representatives from our local charity partner in Bali and learn about what they do and why we choose to parter with them! Afterwards you have a free day to enjoy Canggu – relax by the pool, go to the beach, explore markets or maybe enjoy a day at a local beachclub!

Head to the beach for a surf lesson with experienced instructors who will guide you through the basics of catching waves. All equipment is provided, including professional photos to capture your surf session. Afterward, enjoy some of the best Indonesian food of your life at our beach BBQ!
