Welcome to Bali! Land in the tropical beach town of Canggu and settle into your hotel near the coast. Hit the rooftop for a sunset drink and meet your new crew over a delicious group dinner. The good vibes start now!
Grab your board and hit the waves with expert surf coaches. Whether you’re a beginner or pro, today’s about soaking up the stoke. After lunch, chill at the beach, take a yoga class, or explore Canggu’s cafés. Wrap it up by checking out your surf shots from earlier!
Road trip time! Wind your way north through lush landscapes to the peaceful coastal village of Pemuteran. Check in to your eco-lodge, unwind by the sea, or take a walk through the sleepy local streets. Tonight, relax and reset before tomorrow’s big adventure.
Hop on a boat to explore Menjangan Island, a marine paradise in Bali’s national park. Snorkel vibrant coral reefs and maybe spot a deer or two onshore. We’ll also stop by the BioRock Project, the world’s largest coral restoration site, to see how Bali is protecting its underwater world.
Yes, please arrange an appointment with your local physician and explain your travel plans. Most hospitals have travel clinics with helpful information and vaccinations on site. We suggest doing this well before your trip is to begin to ensure there are no unexpected waiting periods during this process! Please visit here for more information: CDC
Yes, the dress code is seen as a show of respect to the culture, temple and monks that sometimes live in the temples. Men should wear long pants and no cut-off sleeves. Women should wear trousers, a long skirt, or dress that extends fully below the knees and covers their shoulders - the knees should be fully covered. Tank tops and low cut shirts should also be avoided by both genders.
We have spent more than two years travelling Bali in order to find you the best possible experience at the absolute lowest price! We also sell our tour directly to you through our website, not through a travel agency, which cuts out a major expense incurred by other tour companies.
Yes, please! All accommodation offers the chance to do your washing at very reasonable prices - or at least somewhere just near the hotel will be able to provide this. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even go for the bucket wash - the price is right.
Of course! We encourage everyone to talk over our social networks. You can find a list of them at the bottom of this page. If you’ve joined a tour, we will send you an invite to a dedicated Facebook group made for your tour about two months before it starts. Your tour guide and a tour manager will also be in the group to answer any questions you may have.
Not much is needed! We suggest at least £10 GBP / $15 USD (or equivalent) for spending money each day. The non-included meals are very cheap in Bali and all of your excursions, transport, and accommodation is included in the cost of the tour. If you plan to bring home a lot of gifts for friends or family (or yourself) or like a big night out then we suggest budgeting a bit more than the amounts listed above. You can get away with spending even less than this if you are on a tight budget but this average seems to work best for most group members.
