Bali Experience
From volcanic sunrises to jungle waterfalls and beachside sunsets.
Journey from Bali's coast to coast in just 12 days, where no two days are ever the same. From surf towns and tropical island escapes to jungle retreats and volcanic sunrises, every stop reveals a different side of the island. Spend your days catching waves, chasing waterfalls, snorkelling alongside sea turtles and watching the sun rise above the clouds, before embracing island life and incredible sunsets over Uluwatu's cliffs. In between, you'll immerse yourself in Bali's rich culture, make friends from around the world and leave with stories you'll be telling long after the trip is over.
With the perfect mix of adventure, culture and free time to explore at your own pace, this journey strikes the perfect balance between iconic highlights and authentic local experiences.

Day
1
Canggu
Where It All Begins
Your Bali adventure officially starts the moment you land!
We'll be there to meet you at the airport before heading to Canggu, a lively beach town known for its surf culture, buzzing cafés and black sand beaches. Once you've checked into the hotel, take some time to freshen up after your journey, cool off in the pool or head out for your first look around.
Later, we'll get everyone together for a welcome briefing, where you'll meet the group, get to know your guides and hear what's in store over the next 12 days.
This evening, it's time for our first group dinner. Get ready for great food, plenty of laughs and the chance to get to know your new family that you'll be sharing this adventure with.

Canggu
Life's Better on a Board
If there's one place to learn to surf, it's Canggu.
We'll head to one of Bali's best surf beaches, where your instructors will start by teaching you the basics on the sand before it's time to paddle out and put your new skills to the test. Whether it's your first time on a board or you've surfed before, they'll be there to help you make the most of every wave.
The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Grab an iced coffee at one of Canggu's cafés, stretch out on the beach, browse the local boutiques or simply soak up the laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking for recommendations, your guide will be there to point you in the right direction.

Day
3
Kintamani
From Coast to Highlands
Today, we're trading Canggu's coastline for the cooler mountain air of Kintamani, with plenty of incredible stops along the way.
Our first stop is the famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces, where bright green rice paddies cover the hillsides in every direction. Next, we'll spend some time at Cretya Pool Bar, a jungle retreat overlooking the rice terraces. Cool off in the infinity pools, relax with a drink or, if you're feeling adventurous, have a go on the famous Bali Swing.
Before reaching Kintamani, we'll stop at a local coffee plantation to learn how traditional Balinese coffee is made. You'll also have the chance to sample a variety of locally grown coffees and teas. By late afternoon, we'll arrive in Kintamani, where the cooler mountain air and views of Mount Batur are a world away from the beaches of Canggu.

Kintamani
Sunrise Above the Clouds
It's an early start, but this is the kind of morning you'll be talking about long after you get home. We'll trek up Mount Batur beneath a sky full of stars, reaching the summit just as the sun rises over Lake Batur and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
Enjoy a light breakfast cooked using volcanic steam before taking some time to explore the crater and watch the changing colours across the mountains as the morning unfolds.
After descending, we'll make our way to Ubud, Bali's cultural heart. Surrounded by lush jungle, ancient temples and vibrant markets, it's a town known for its relaxed atmosphere, traditional crafts and thriving café scene. The rest of the afternoon is yours to recharge after an unforgettable morning, whether you fancy unwinding at the hotel or heading out to explore.

5
Ubud
Into Ubud's Wild Side
Today combines two very different sides of Ubud.
We'll begin at the famous Monkey Forest, where long-tailed macaques roam freely among centuries-old temples and giant jungle trees. Watching them interact with each other is all part of the experience, but they can be surprisingly quick if they spot an unattended snack or pair of sunglasses!
From there, we'll head to one of Ubud's beautiful waterfalls. Depending on the day, we'll visit either Kanto Lampo, where water flows over a series of rocky terraces, or Tibumana, a peaceful waterfall surrounded by dense tropical forest. Bring your swimwear if you fancy cooling off, or simply enjoy a recharge as you take in the scenery before returning to Ubud.

Day
6
Gili T
Island Life & the Horse Sanctuary
This morning, we'll head to the harbour for a fast boat ride to Gili Trawangan, a laid-back island where there are no cars or motorbikes, just sandy lanes, bicycles and horse-drawn carts.
Later, we'll visit a local horse sanctuary dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for horses from across the Gili Islands. You'll spend time with the sanctuary team, meeting the horses, learning their individual stories and seeing first-hand the care and dedication that goes into giving them a second chance.
It's a genuinely rewarding experience that offers a different side to Gili T. You'll leave with a real appreciation for the work the sanctuary does and, more than likely, a few new four-legged favourites.

What's Included
What's Not Included
Weather
No matter when you visit, Bali shines all year round. Expect warm temperatures, tropical scenery and plenty of sunshine. From April to October, the dry season brings temperatures of 27–32°C, along with blue skies, calm seas and ideal conditions for beach days, island hopping, snorkelling and Bali's famous surf breaks. Visiting between November and March? You'll still enjoy warm temperatures of 26–31°C, with the occasional tropical downpour keeping the island lush and green. The rain usually passes quickly, leaving plenty of time to get back out exploring, while quieter beaches and fewer crowds let you experience a more relaxed side of Bali.
Getting There
Starts
Your Bali Experience begins at Bali Denpasar Airport (DPS). We recommend booking a flight that lands between 9:00am and 5:00pm on Day 1, where your local guide will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a FurtherTravel sign (you won't miss them!). If possible, we'd recommend arriving earlier in the day to give yourself time to settle into the hotel before the evening orientation and your first night with the group. Please note that Bali's traffic can be unpredictable, so we don't recommend arriving too late. If your flight arrives outside of the recommended pickup window, you'll need to make your own way to the hotel. Don't worry though – your local guide will be on hand in the group chat to help you arrange this. Arriving a day early? Let us know! We'd be happy to recommend somewhere to stay near the airport. You can then either return to the airport during the pickup window or meet the group at the hotel.
Ends
Your Bali Island Hopper finishes at your hotel in Seminyak on Day 20. We recommend booking a flight that departs after 12:00pm on your final day, giving you plenty of time to check out and make your own way to Bali Denpasar Airport (DPS) after your final night celebrating with the group. If you're continuing your travels, Bali is also a great place to extend your adventure, so feel free to ask us for recommendations before you go!
FAQ's
Solo? Couple? Friends?
Most of our travellers are solo, so joining a group tour is a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends along the way. Travelling alone gives you flexibility, the chance to connect with others, and the freedom to follow your own adventure.
If you’re coming with a friend or partner, just let us know when you book. We’ll make sure you’re paired together in the same room so you can enjoy the trip side by side.
Accommodation
On your trip, you’ll stay in comfortable twin-share hotel rooms, paired with another traveller from your tour. Forget hostels, our hand-picked hotels offer privacy, comfort, and a touch of luxury, with air conditioning or fans, reliable WiFi, and many featuring pools, gyms, or chill-out spaces. It’s the perfect base to relax after a day of exploring, making new friends, and living your adventure to the fullest.
Free Time
While our programmes are full of unforgettable experiences, there’s still plenty of time built in to relax, explore, or do your own thing. Whether you want to lounge on a beach, wander through local markets, try out a new cafe, or just take a quiet afternoon for yourself, the choice is yours.
Your guides are always happy to share insider tips and recommend hidden gems, so you can make the most of every free moment. Free time is your chance to explore at your own pace, discover local culture, and create memories that are completely your own.
Arrival & Transfers
We provide an airport transfer on the day your trip begins. To make things easy, aim to arrive between 9am and 5pm on the start date. Once you’ve booked your flights, be sure to share your arrival details in the Manage My Booking area so we can coordinate your pick-up.

All in-country transport throughout your trip is included, so you can relax and enjoy the journey. We handle transfers between hotels, activity locations, and any pre-arranged excursions, using buses, trains, and boats where needed.

Planning to continue your adventure once your trip ends? Our travel experts can offer advice on the best destinations, routes, and experiences to extend your journey, so you can explore confidently and make the most of your time abroad.
Flights
Flights are not included in the trip price and will need to be booked separately. We recommend securing your place on the trip before booking flights, as availability and dates can sometimes change and flight prices can fluctuate.
Once your place is confirmed, our team is happy to help with advice on the best airports to fly into, typical routes, and timings to ensure your arrival runs smoothly.
Luggage & Packing
Pack light, pack smart, and be ready for anything. Bring versatile clothing for warm days, cooler evenings, and temple visits. A sturdy backpack or suitcase works fine, and you’ll have opportunities to do laundry along the way. Don’t forget essentials like chargers, travel documents, and a good pair of walking shoes for exploring
Money
The local currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). ATMs are widely available in towns and tourist areas, and most shops, restaurants, and hotels accept cards, though smaller markets and rural areas often prefer cash. It’s a good idea to carry a mix of cash and cards to cover meals, drinks, souvenirs, and optional activities.
For convenience and to avoid high foreign exchange fees, many travellers use a travel card such as Wise or Revolut. This allows you to pay in local currency with minimal charges, and you can also withdraw cash from ATMs if needed.
Best Time to Travel
Bali enjoys warm tropical weather all year round, making it a great destination no matter when you visit. The dry season runs from April to September, offering plenty of sunshine, while the wet season from October to March brings short, refreshing tropical showers that rarely last all day. Even during the wet season, you can expect warm temperatures and plenty of opportunities to explore beaches, rice terraces, and temples.
No matter when you travel, our tours are designed to make the most of the local weather, so you’ll always enjoy a mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation.
Visa & Vaccinations
Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality and the country you are visiting. Some destinations allow certain nationals to enter visa-free for a limited period, while others may require a visa on arrival or in advance. It is your responsibility to check the latest visa and entry requirements before travelling. You can do this via the relevant embassy or consulate website, or reach out to our team for guidance.
We also recommend checking with your GP or a travel health clinic for advice on vaccinations and other health precautions for the country you are visiting. Make sure to arrange any required vaccinations well in advance to ensure a smooth start to your trip.
Can anyone climb Mount Batur?
Absolutely! Mount Batur is suitable for anyone with a moderate fitness level. The sunrise trek takes around 2–3 hours, offering breathtaking views at the summit. It’s mildly challenging but completely worth it and our experienced local guide will be there to support you every step of the way.
Food
Bali’s food scene is amazing! Expect a delicious mix of authentic Indonesian dishes, local Balinese specialties, and international favorites.
Try classics like:
Nasi Goreng: Indonesian fried rice topped with a fried egg
Mie Goreng: fried noodles packed with flavor
Bali offers an amazing mix of traditional Indonesian cuisine and international options, so you’ll have plenty to try during your trip. Expect local favourites such as Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Mie Goreng (fried noodles), and fresh tropical fruits. Many meals are included on your itinerary, but there will also be opportunities to explore local cafés, warungs, and restaurants on your own.
Vegetarian, vegan, and milder options are widely available, so dietary preferences are easy to cater for. For a full guide to which meals are included on your tour, check the day-by-day itinerary on your tour page.
Group Leaders
Who are the group leaders?
Your group leader is your go-to guide, mentor, and ultimate problem-solver while on tour. They know everything from hidden local spots to the best places to eat, and are there to make sure your trip runs smoothly. Think of them as your travel BFF who’s got your back 24/7.
How big are the groups?
Groups are kept small and social, usually between 12 and 22 travellers, so it’s easy to bond and make friends for life. You’ll meet people from all over the world, all sharing the same love of adventure and discovery.
Can I get in touch with my group or leader before the trip?
Yes! Around two weeks before your tour, your group leader will be added to your group WhatsApp. You’ll also be able to connect with your fellow travellers in our private destination-specific community so you can start sharing tips, hype, and travel excitement before you even arrive.
