Today we head to the beautiful area of Ubud. We will visit the towering Tegenungan waterfalls, pack a towel if you want to have a refreshing dip! Next up the famous Ubud rice terraces and maybe jump on the swing. End the day with a tranquil sundown drink in the rooftop infinity pool.

No trip to Ubud would be complete without haggling at the local market to get that Bali Bag! We will go down straight after breakfast as this is the best time to catch a deal, the earlier the better! Mid- afternoon we will be off to fire up some woks and cook our dinner at a traditional Balinese cooking
class. This is a really special experience cooking in an open kitchen in the middle of rice fields.
Accommodation – Ubud Aura Retreat or similar, BB.
For all the keen hikers it will be an early start for you today. Time to catch one of the best sunrises of your life on top of Mt Batur. Watch the sun shimmer its way through the low-lying clouds below you.
If mountain climbing or early mornings isn’t your thing then enjoy a sleep-in back in Ubud. After lunch, it is time to get the bananas ready as we go and visit Monkey Forest, watch out they can be cheeky! Accommodation – Ubud Aura Retreat or similar, BB.
Time for greener pastures or should we say bluer waters. Today we will island hop to the spectacular
Gili islands. Cruise in style on the fast boat. Once we arrive in Gilli T, we will get checked into our
Hotel and make our way to the beach to get that famous Gili T sunset shot. Once the sun goes down the Gili T nightlife ramps up. Try a couple of ‘joss shots’ and dance the night away up and down the many beach bars. Accommodation – Scallywags Resort or similar, BB.
All aboard as we get onto our private boat to go looking for turtles. Kick that hangover in the butt by diving into the crystal clear tropical waters whilst we go turtle spotting. This is a real crowd pleaser and not to be missed! Once back to Gili T where we will jump on bicycles for a leisurely pedal around the island to take in the stunning views. Accommodation – Scallywags Resort or similar, BB.
Today we say goodbye to the Gili Islands, and we will be making our way to the relatively unexplored island of Nusa Lembongan. We will have the morning in Gili T to have a lazy brunch or another cycle around before the boat leaves around lunchtime. We will arrive in time to watch another amazing sunset from the legendary Devil’s Tear viewpoint. Accommodation – Nusa Indah Onai Hotel, BB.
What better way to start the day than by snorkeling with Manta Rays!! After lunch, we learn to surf in paradise! Forget those other surf schools over in Bali, we ride the crystal clear swell of Nusa Lembongan. Learn the basics on the sand with our qualified surf instructor before paddling out to the famous ‘Playgrounds’ break. Don’t worry you won’t be alone! Our instructor will be right there next to you helping you glide onto the best waves. After sunset, we will be heading out for dinner at another of our fave restaurants which serves you western meals as well as classic Indonesian cuisine.
Tonight your guide will also help to start to plan your onward travel. Accommodation – Nusa Indah Onai Hotel, BB.
