Itinerary

Day 1 - Seminyak

Upon your arrival in Bali, we will be at the airport to welcome you and transport you to the hotel. You'll have ample time to rest and get acquainted with your group. We'll get together with the group for a welcome dinner at around 19:00, so you can get to know everyone before our adventure begins tomorrow.

Please note: This tour is designed for younger travellers looking to meet like-minded people. The average age on this tour is around 25 - 35, and in most cases we are unfortunately unable to take any travellers over the age of 49. We have lots of group tours across our destinations that are suitable for travellers of all ages, browse our website or get in touch to find the perfect trip!

Overnight: Seminyak

Day 2 - Seminyak & Uluwatu

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Bali as we explore the stunning ancient temples in Uluwatu. We also enjoy a Bahasa language lesson, and learn how to make a Canang Sari, a traditional local offering. Afterwards, we head to one of Bali's trendiest boutique beach clubs for sunset drinks and dinner, followed by an evening out in Seminyak.

Overnight: Seminyak
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 3 - Surfing & Canggu

Seminyak - Canggu. Our final morning in Seminyak is spent at a surf lesson with a local instructor. That's because we're heading to one of the world's top surf destinations next, Canggu. On arrival, you've got plenty of time to practice your new surf skills or simply relax on the beach with a cool drink.

Overnight: Canggu
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4 - Lovina

Canggu - Lovina. Today, we journey to the remarkable Lovina in northern Bali. On our way, we'll explore intriguing temples, take a dip under a magnificent waterfall, and admire the stunning rice paddies that the Indonesian countryside is known for. Tonight's accommodation is located high in the mountains, boasting incredible views of the surrounding jungle and ocean.

Overnight: Lovina
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 5 - Dolphin Spotting & Local Life

Today begins with a chance to spot some of Bali's marine life, as we board a traditional outrigger boat to cruise along the stunning coastline. We are on the lookout for playful dolphins, which will often follow boats, leaping from the water in pods. After our cruise, we will visit a local family to gain firsthand insight into traditional Balinese life and try your hand at basket weaving. We then head back to our accommodation for a cool off in the pool.

Overnight: Lovina
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 6 - Lovina to Gili T

Lovina - Gili Trawangan. Say goodbye to Bali for now as we make our way by ferry to the largest of the Gili Islands, Gili Trawangan.

In the evening, we'll venture out as a group for a few drinks and to enjoy the vibrant island nightlife!

Overnight: Gili Trawangan
Meals: Breakfast

Day 7 - Gili T by Bike

Perhaps the biggest drawcard of Gili T is that motorized vehicles are banned on the island - no cars, and no motorbikes. They aren't really needed, since the island is so small, it can be walked in around 2 hours! Rather than walking, we will explore the island by bicycle today. There's also time to relax on the white sandy beaches and enjoy a stunning sunset.

Overnight: Gili Trawangan
Meals: Breakfast
