Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive Bali - Ubud
Om suastiastu’ and welcome to beautiful Bali. A place that evokes an image of paradise in name alone, Bali is every beach loving, culture seeking traveller’s idea of perfection. Touching down today, you’ll transfer to your hotel in the cultural hub of Ubud. Surrounded by lush green rice paddies and a haven for yoga enthusiasts, artists and foodies alike, Ubud is something special. Settle into your hotel this afternoon, then meet up with your Travel Director and fellow travellers this evening to get a glimpse of what's to come, before getting to know each other a little better over dinner.

Included Meals - Dinner
 

Day 2 - Bali Sightseeing
Today will be packed with adventure, so be sure to fuel up at breakfast. We’ll kick things off with a visit to Mas Village and a traditional wood carving workshop, before continuing on to explore the lush green terraces of Tegallalang, one of the most defining views of Bali. Up next, a visit to a coffee plantation to learn how our favourite morning beverage is made (with samples, of course), before we move on for a lunch with a difference. What’s the difference? Well, when was the last time you tucked into a traditional Balinese meal with a view of a sacred volcano mountain in the background? Still not done with the day, we’ll make our way back to Ubud for a visit to ‘Puri Saren Agung’, or Ubud Palace, the former official residence of the royal family of Ubud. Finally, we’ll finish the epic first day of your Bali value tour with a trip to Ubud Market, where there’s time to shop for locally made art and handicrafts.

Included Meals - Breakfast, Lunch

Day 3 - Ubud Free Day
Yesterday was a busy one, so today you have the chance to slow down and explore Ubud your way today. With your free time you could choose to visit the famous monkey forest, where over 700 long-tailed grey macaques roam free amongst the temple ruins. Alternatively, you could take part in one of our optional experiences to embrace the true spirit of Ubud. In the morning, perhaps join our cooking class to learn the secrets of traditional Balinese food, or in the afternoon get to know your inner yogi with a spiritual yoga experience, where all levels are welcome.

Included Meals - Breakfast

Optional Experiences

• Authentic Balinese Cooking Class - $55.00 USD
  Venture out on a culinary adventure to unlock the secrets of authentic Balinese cooking. You’ll gather your fresh ingredients in Ubud market where you can pick out fresh herbs and spices, crispy vegetables and choice cuts of meat with the help of your guide. With all your ingredients ready, you’ll arrive at Laplapan village where you’ll be warmly welcomed by your host, who will show you how to create your very own delicious authentic Balinese dishes, using traditional cooking methods. And the best part? You’ll get to enjoy your very own creations for lunch!  The price shown is in US dollars.

Wherever you are in your yoga journey, this session is sure to provide the perfect way to relax.  The price shown is in US dollars.

Day 4 - Ubud - Sanur
Beach bliss awaits us in Sanur later today, but not before an action-packed day of sightseeing. The serene 17th century Ulun Danu temple will be our first stop, where a temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Waters is built on the small islands of Lake Bratan. From here we’ll continue on to Mengwi and the temple of Taman Ayun. Built in 1634, the temple is surrounded by a wide moat and has a series of courtyards which feature a number of Meru (multi-tiered shrines). Still not templed out, our final visit of the day will be to Bali’s most photographed temple, Tanah Lot. Perched precariously on a wave whipped rock, this 16th century icon is still a major crowd pleaser. Feeling culturally satisfied, we’ll then end the day to the gentle sound of the waves, in laidback Sanur.

Included Meals - Breakfast, Lunch

Day 5 - Sanur
Is there any better feeling than waking up knowing that the ocean is just a stone’s throw away? And even better – this morning is entirely free for you to do as much, or as little, as you like. Take a dip in the sea, top up your tan, or maybe choose to join our optional tour of Bali’s capital city, Denpasar, travelling in style in a vintage VW Kombi. This afternoon we’ll be heading to Uluwatu, a gorgeous stretch of headland that’s also home to the Pura Uluwatu temple, perched high above the sea. This evening, we’ll be treated to a traditional Balinese Kecak dance performance, before a dinner of fresh seafood is served right on Jimbaran beach. Perfection.
