This is Bali beyond the brochure. In just nine days, you’ll ride Canggu’s iconic waves, trek up a volcano in the dark to watch the sun rise, and slow things down with a soul-soaking stay in a traditional village. Learn to make Balinese offerings, cycle past rice paddies, and dig into Ubud’s temples, waterfalls, and artsy buzz on your own time. Whether you’re chasing thrills or clarity (or both), this trip hits different — in all the right ways.

Is there an extra cost for travelling solo?
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

And what's a picturesque sunrise without a lil picnic breakfast, amirite? With the sun finally up, we'll hike back down for a proper breakfast and a well-deserved hot spring soak.
