What's this trip about?

    The hype is all real. Bali is, hands down, one of the most beautiful places on earth. With vibrant culture, flavorful cuisine, buzzing nightlife, and stunning scenery, this Indonesian island is a world in itself. On this 9-night adventure, you'll experience Bali from every angle. Explore ancient temples, soak up daily culture at local markets, trek through terraced rice paddies, and lounge in beach bliss. Your journey will begin in Seminyak, where you'll enjoy visits to Taman Ayun Temple, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, and more. You'll also have the opportunity to trek through Bali's stunning landscapes and small farming villages as you embark on a guided local tour.  Next stop: Ubud. Along the way, stretch your legs at the majestic Tanah Lot Temple and gaze out at stunning views of the Indian Ocean. You'll then visit the Ubud Monkey Forest, where you can spot Bali's cutest residents! Upon arrival in Ubud, enjoy a couple of days of free leisure time. Additionally, you'll have the chance to cook traditional Ubud meals with your included cooking class.  Last, but certainly not least, head for the beach! Take advantage of free time to relax and enjoy doing absolutely nothing. Did someone say tropical cocktails on the beach? In Tanjung Benoa, you'll have the opportunity to rent kayaks or treat yourself to a surfing lesson! On your last day, enjoy an exciting evening of culture and cuisine. Watch a traditional Kecak dance, visit the dramatic cliffs of Uluwatu, and savor a scrumptious seafood dinner on the beach. Please note: Triple occupancy for this package is based on one double/twin room plus one single room.  Please note: A new $10 tourism fee is now required for all international visitors, in an effort to preserve Bali's unique cultural heritage and to support sustainable tourism. This per person levy can be paid upon arrival, in cash (USD) or by credit card. Helpful links for travel to Indonesia: Visa & Passport Info Vaccines & Medications Info
