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.
Where will we stay during the trip?
Hotel (9 nts) on a twinshare basis. If you are interested in purchasing your own room, please see below for the My Own Room option.
Itinerary
Dinner Party: Ubud
Welcome to Ubud. Meet your included arrival transfer at the airport, then join your CEO and fellow travellers for a welcome meeting before heading out for an incredible Dinner Party at a local restaurant. Get to know your hosts and the other Solo-ish travellers as you are welcomed to Bali. Prepare a few local delicacies full of Balinese local spices, and dig in to a feast of traditional food like pepes, chicken wrapped in banana leaves, and dadar gulung, Balinese sweet spring rolls, as you get to know your hosts and new travel mates. The welcome moment begins at 14:00. We suggest arriving to the starting hotel by 12:00 pm so that you have ample time to get settled in and join your CEO and fellow travellers for a welcome briefing and the Dinner Party.
We Day: Ubud
Spend the day getting better acquainted with your group, CEO and Bali with a fun packed day full of adventures and all things Bali. With your CEO, head to the beautiful Ubud Palace where we'll admire the picturesque Balinese architecture before exploring the Ubud Market. Come hungry because together we'll try some of Bali's iconic street food. In the afternoon, we'll visit two of the most beautiful waterfalls on the island, Goa Rang Reng and Kanto Lampo before heading out for surprise with your group in the evening.
G Day: Ubud
Join your group and CEO to explore Bali's spiritual side. With your CEO and local host, begin by creating an offering, called a Canang in Bali. This offering will be brought to the temples to ask permission from the gods to enter the temple. At Gunung Kawi temple, admire the carved façade dating back to the 11th century that commemorates the Udayana Kingdom. Continue to Tirta Empul, a temple replete with 14 water spouts, considered sacred by the Balinese Hindu community. Then enjoy a free evening in Ubud.
Ubud to Bulian
This morning we'll drive together to Bulian Guesthouse in Kubutambahan and then head out on a village cycling adventure. We'll cycle through the beautiful Pakisan village, stopping to visit temples, markets, rice fields, and spice gardens. There will be plenty of perfect spots for photo ops with your new friends. During the cycling adventure, we'll stop at Tukkad Daya river for a lush riverside picnic and swim. Then continue on, biking through the teak wood forest and on to a dragon fruit farm. After an adventure filled day, return to the local guesthouse where we'll spend the evening eating dinner together, listening to live music and dancing.
Bulian
After a delicious breakfast, we're off to Lemukih Village for the day. Trek through rice paddies, a durian plantation, a coffee plantation and even a natural waterslide that we'll get a chance to enjoy. After lunch in a local warung, we'll continue our trek to visit 2 beautiful waterfalls, where we can swim and relax.
Mt Batur Sunrise to Nusa Lembongan
It's a very early start today-but well worth it. Head to Kintamani to hike Mt Batur for sunrise. In addition to witnessing one of the most stunning natural displays on Bali, you may also get lucky and encounter the tribe of monkeys that reside on the mountain and come out in the morning to bask in the light of the new day. The climb is an experience that will afford anyone who does it a sense of accomplishment and appreciation for the natural beauty this island has. After this experience, transfer to Sanur harbor to take the fast boat to Nusa Lembongan, your tropical paradise for the next few days. If you are interested in completing the hike by vehicle, a transfer can be arranged at your own cost.
Me Day: Nusa Lembongan
The Nusa Islands of Bali are perhaps less well known than the Gili Islands, but are just as beautiful-with crystal clear visibility perfect for snorkeling, warm water and stunning beaches. During your Me Day, you can opt to spend some solo time or join your CEO for an adventure. With your CEO and the other Solo-ish travellers that choose to tag along, opt to hop in a vehicle to explore Nusa Lembongan further afield. Jump on a mangrove boat ride, explore an underground house and learn how the locals cultivate seaweed as the main crop of the island. End the day with sunset at Devil’s tears.
Nusa Lembongan
Today is a beautiful day to enjoy as you wish. Opt explore the other neighboring island on a Nusa Penida Island tour. Hike the world famous Kelingking Cliff, swim in crystal clear water and relax on white sand. Or opt to embark on a boating excursion with the chance to snorkel and hopefully see manta rays. You'll cruise to Manta Point, Crystal Bay and Mangrove Point with time to spend underwater at each one admiring the colorful coral reefs and tropical fish- and fingers crossed-manta rays.
Nusa Lembongan to Sanur
Enjoy one last leisurely morning in Nusa, grabbing a delicious breakfast full of tropical fruit. Take the fast boat back to Bali and join your fellow Solo-ish travelers in the up-beat beach town of Sanur for a final evening of celebration after an epic adventure. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a special drink on the beach during sunset with your friends.

You arrived a solo traveller and are leaving with many new friends. Say goodbye to your fellow Solo-ish travellers and depart at any time.
