Traveling is all about experiencing new cultures, making unforgettable memories, and connecting with amazing people along the way. I’m excited to explore Bali’s beauty, from stunning beaches to rich traditions. Can’t wait to explore and make amazing memories!
Bali is more than a place; it’s a feeling. This island blends culture, adventure, and relaxation in a way that makes every moment feel alive. Over seven days, travelers will do more than just see the sights. They’ll ride scooters through jungle roads, join a sacred water purification ceremony, snorkel with manta rays, and dance beneath the neon lights of Bali’s buzzing nightlife. The experience goes beyond the surface with immersive activities like learning traditional Balinese cooking, crafting handmade silver jewelry, and working alongside local farmers in the rice fields. From the dramatic cliffs of Nusa Penida to the emerald-green terraces of Ubud and the peaceful temples tucked into the jungle, every stop is unforgettable. Perfect for those who want to explore, connect, and unwind all at once, this trip is designed for travelers who seek something real. The memories made here won’t just be saved in photos – they’ll stay with you long after you’ve left the island.
-Welcome to Bali! As soon as you step off the plane at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, the island’s warm, tropical air and vibrant energy greet you.
-You’ll meet up with the group, hop in our transfer, and cruise through streets lined with towering palm trees and Balinese temples before arriving at our resort for check in.
-After settling in, we kick things off with a laid-back picnic lunch, the perfect way to soak in your new surroundings before diving into adventure. Next up? We’re heading to Ubud, the heart of Bali’s culture and creativity, on scooters. Picture yourself zipping through lush rice fields, past ancient temples, and down winding jungle roads, feeling the breeze as you take in the beauty of Bali from a whole new perspective.
-Tonight, the evening is yours to begin your discovery, your way. Chill or exciting, familiar favorites or totally new? You’re in charge!
-This morning, we’re hopping back on scooters and heading deep into Bali’s spiritual heart. First stop: Tirta Empul Temple, a centuries-old water temple where Balinese Hindus come for ritual purification. You’ll take part in a traditional water purification ceremony, stepping into the crystal-clear spring pools to cleanse your mind, body, and soul.
-Next, we ride to one of Bali’s most iconic landscapes: Tegalalang Rice Terrace. These cascading fields are a masterpiece, sculpted by generations of Balinese farmers. Take in the surreal views, snap some breathtaking shots, and maybe even try out one of those famous jungle swings for an extra thrill.
-By now, you’ve worked up an appetite, so we’re stopping at Cretya Jungle, a luxe jungle club with an infinity pool overlooking the rice terraces. It’s the perfect place to refuel with some delicious Balinese bites while soaking in the epic scenery.
-After a chill ride back to the resort, the night is yours. Grab dinner wherever you please, then wind down at the resort. Or, if you prefer, hit Times Beach Warung for a cozy movie night by the ocean – feet in the sand, sea breeze in your hair, and a perfect end to an adventure-packed day.
-We’re stepping off the beaten path and into authentic Balinese village life. After breakfast, we ride out to Tabanan, a region known for its lush landscapes and deep cultural roots. Our first stop is a visit to a local school (if in session), where we’ll meet Balinese students, join in classroom activities, and get a firsthand look at education and daily life in the village. It’s a chance to connect and learn in a totally unique way.
-From here, dive into rice cultivation. Guided by local farmers, you’ll get hands-on in the rice fields, learning the centuries-old techniques of planting and harvesting that sustain the island. Prepare to get a little muddy, though – it’s all part of the experience!

-Back at the resort, the evening is yours. Keep it low-key or head back to Times Beach Warung for another movie night under the stars. With so many incredible options, one thing’s for sure – you won’t be bored!
-Today’s adventure takes us beyond Bali’s shores to the jaw-dropping island of Nusa Penida, home to some of the most unreal landscapes and marine life in Indonesia.
-First up: snorkeling with manta rays at Manta Point. Glide through the crystal-clear ocean as these gentle giants drift past, an experience that feels straight out of a nature documentary. Then, we’ll dive into the vibrant reefs of Crystal Bay and Gamat Bay, where tropical fish and coral gardens put on an underwater show.
-After drying off, it’s time to hit Nusa Penida’s most iconic spots. We’ll trek to the legendary Kelingking Beach, where the T-Rex-shaped cliff and turquoise waves create one of Bali’s most Insta-famous views. Then, we’ll check out Broken Beach, a dramatic rock formation carved by the sea, and take a dip in the natural infinity pool of Angel’s Billabong. Along the way, we will also indulge in a tasty lunch at a local restaurant.
-Unwinding at the resort, grabbing dinner at a beachside café, or just letting the day’s adventures sink in under the stars are just a few of the ways you can spend our remaining free time in paradise today.
-Our schedule today is all about tapping into Bali’s creative and culinary soul. Our first activity is a traditional Balinese cooking class, where you’ll learn the secrets behind the island’s rich, aromatic flavors. Guided by local chefs, you’ll grind spices, wrap banana leaves, and cook up a feast using fresh, local ingredients.
-We switch from food to fashion with a Balinese jewelry-making class. Under the guidance of skilled artisans, you’ll craft your own piece of jewelry, a unique, handmade souvenir that carries a piece of Bali’s artistry with you. Lunch is included here, giving you time to refuel while perfecting your new skill.
-After heading back to the resort for some free time, the night is all about letting loose and celebrating. We’re hitting up Motel Mexicola, one of Bali’s most legendary nightlife spots, where neon lights, funky decor, and a mix of Latin beats and tropical vibes set the perfect scene for a wild night out.

It’s a special moment to connect with these incredible creatures in a responsible way.
-Next, we dive into the buzzing energy of Ubud Market, the city’s treasure trove of handmade crafts, woven bags, silver jewelry, and vibrant textiles. This is the perfect place to pick up those last-minute souvenirs for the folks back home (and you too, of course). Grab a bite to eat here, too – there’s so many flavors to savor.
