Experience the essence of Bali and its surrounding islands on a week-long adventure that blends culture, connection, and tropical bliss.

Learn to surf with local instructors, explore ancient temples like Tanah Lot, and unwind at a beach club as the sun sets over the waves.
Next, sail across to Nusa Lembongan, where the pace slows and island life begins. Try stand-up paddleboarding at golden hour, relax by the sea, and share stories around a beach bonfire under the stars.
From there, head to Nusa Penida for a day of epic landscapes — think towering cliffs, secret beaches, and panoramic viewpoints straight out of a postcard. Feeling adventurous? You can even snorkel with manta rays in crystal-clear waters before returning for dinner with your crew.
Then it’s off to Gili Trawangan, the island where every sunset feels like a celebration. Spend your days snorkeling with turtles, exploring underwater statues, and enjoying a laid-back lunch on Gili Meno.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival Day & Meet the Crew

Welcome to Bali! Once you land at Denpasar Airport, our friendly driver will be there to greet you and take you to the hotel. Upon arrival, your travel leader will be waiting to welcome you personally, help you get settled, and treat you to a little something to kick off the trip. Later in the evening, we’ll come together for a chilled welcome dinner — the perfect chance to meet the crew, share some laughs, and ease into island time.

Day 2: Temples, Culture & Sunset Vibes

We’ll start the day with a welcome and safety chat from your travel leader, then head out to explore two of Bali’s most iconic temples — Taman Ayun and Tanah Lot. A local guide will be with us to share all the stories along the way. After we’re back at the hotel, you’ll have time to relax or explore on your own before we head out for dinner and drinks.

Day 3: Surf, Chill & Beach Club Vibes

The group will head out for a surf lesson in the morning, with some time to catch waves and relax in between. In the afternoon, we’ll kick back at a beach club to soak up the last moments in Canggu. Later on, we’ll get together for dinner and maybe some drinks to close out the day.

Day 4: Island Escape & Sunset Chill

After breakfast at the hotel, the group will travel to Sanur port and catch a fast boat over to Nusa Lembongan. Once there, you’ll enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, then relax while watching the sunset. The evening wraps up with a beach bonfire and dinner right on the sand, followed by drinks to keep the good vibes going.

Day 5: Nusa Penida Explorer

Fuel up with breakfast at the hotel, then get ready for an epic day! If you’re feeling adventurous, join the optional snorkeling excursion with manta rays led by the tour leader. Afterward, we’ll hit the highlights of Nusa Penida, cruising past dramatic cliffs, secret beaches, and jaw-dropping viewpoints. When the day winds down, we’ll regroup for dinner and maybe some drinks to share stories.

Day 6: Island Hopping to Gili Trawangan

The group will take a fast boat from Nusa Lembongan to the stunning island paradise of Gili Trawangan. Once there, you’ll have plenty of time to relax or explore the island at your own pace. After catching the sunset, we'll grab dinner and drinks, keeping the good times rolling as the day winds down.

Day 7: Snorkeling, Turtles & Island Lunch

After breakfast, we’ll set off for an epic snorkeling adventure, swimming with turtles and exploring the famous underwater statues. Lunch will be at Gili Meno, giving you time to refuel and recharge. You can catch the sunset if you’re up for it, or we’ll all meet up later for a family-style dinner to wrap up the day together.

Day 8: Easy Mornings, Sunset Fun & Farewell Vibes

For those on the 9-day trip, take the morning to chill or explore the island at your own pace. As the sun begins to set, we'll enjoy a leisurely bike ride around Gili T, complete with refreshing drinks and good company. Feeling adventurous? You could also try paddleboarding, horseback riding, or even get matching tattoos! Later, we’ll come together for the last dinner on the island, sharing laughs, memories, and toasting to an epic nine days before saying our goodbyes (for now). If you want to keep the adventure going and join the others, you’re more than welcome to stick around!

Day 9: From Island Chill to Ubud Vibes

We’ll leave the island life behind and make our way to the lush, green heart of Bali—Ubud. Once we arrive, it’s all about taking it easy and soaking in the unique vibes of this cultural hub. Whether you want to explore the local markets, check out some art galleries, or just kick back and enjoy the scenery, the day is yours to do as you please. In the evening, we’ll regroup for a relaxed dinner, sharing stories from the trip and gearing up for the last stretch of this epic adventure.
