The trip
Eight days, four very different sides of Bali. The trip starts in Ubud, the island's green and cultural heart, where a pre-dawn jeep ride takes you up Mount Batur to watch the sun rise over the volcanic landscape. After that comes a 90-minute ATV ride along countryside paths.
From there a fast boat carries the group to the Gili Islands, known for clear water and an easy island pace. A snorkelling trip takes you out to swim with wild sea turtles, see the famous underwater statues and drift over coral reefs full of marine life.
Back on the mainland, the group heads to Uluwatu Temple on its limestone cliffs above the Indian Ocean for the Kecak fire dance at sunset. A full-day excursion to West Nusa Penida covers Angel's Billabong, Broken Beach, Kelingking Beach and Crystal Bay, with a local lunch along the way. The last full day in Kuta is kept loose, with a Beer Cycle Party in the afternoon and Bali's beach clubs close by for anyone who wants a big night out.
You stay seven nights in 4-star hotels on double/triple sharing: two in Ubud, two on the Gili Islands and three in Kuta. Daily breakfast, the fast boats and ferries, and the airport pick-up and drop are covered. Flights to and from Bali are not part of the package, so you book your own and meet the group on arrival.
