Summary
Get ready to see a side of Indonesia most travellers miss. Over 15 epic days, you’ll trek through jungle valleys in Lombok, sleep in a hilltop village that feels like a dream, and kayak through volcanic waters where Komodo dragons still roam. From weaving with locals to stargazing on a boat deck, this trip is all about raw beauty, real connection, and off-the-map adventure. Bring your curiosity — the rest will take care of itself.
Itinerary
Day 1
Ubud
Welcome to Ubud, arguably the most famous city in Bali! Settle in and explore this funky town then meet your group for a welcome meeting this evening. But stick around because we’re heading out on our First Night Out! Get to know each other and Ubud a bit better.
Day 2
Ubud
With seemingly never-ending things to do in Ubud, choose to spend it how you want! Choose between incredible local experiences like a Balinese Spiritual tour at Widya Guna Foundation, a cooking class at G for Good PKP Community, a bike tour through the rice terraces or an experience with a local family! The choice is yours!
Day 3
Ubud/Tempasan
Drive to the harbour and take a speed boat to the island of Lombok. Drive to Tempasan village and meet the villagers for a group dinner.
Day 4
Tempasan
If you choose to join the optional 2-day 1-night Rinjani summit trek, will have the chance to join the Rice Terrace Village Walk and Weaving Demonstration after your return on day 3.
Day 5
Tempasan
From land to sea, Lombok has a never-ending list of sick adventures for us! Today is yours so do what you want. Yoga? A snorkel trip? Monkeys and waterfalls? A cooking class? Options on options! So get out there how you want!
Day 6
Tempasan/Senggigi
Drive to Bonjeruk Village this morning for an opportunity to connect with the local villagers. Here we will work up our appetite for a yummy Lombok lunch from a cycle tour around the village. Afterwards, continue on to Senggigi for a free afternoon at the beach.
Day 7
Senggigi/Gili Trawangan
As there are no motorized vehicles on Gili Trawangan, you will need to carry your luggage from the speed boat to the hotel, approximately 300m.
Day 8
Gili Trawangan
There are 2 types of beach people. The rotters-who want to lay in the sun all day, and the adventurers! Today, you get to pick your own player and spend today exactly how you want! Feel free to pick your fav beach and just chill, get your tan on and take a dip in the perfect blue water. Looking for something more to do? How does stand up paddle board yoga sound? Maybe a leisurely bike ride around the island? However you choose to spend it, Gili T is yours to see.
Day 9
Gili Trawangan/Seminyak
Head back to Bali on a speed boat today for one final adventure in Indonesia. Arrive to the harbour and drive to Seminyak, known for its super fun nightlife, amazing shopping, beautiful beaches and incredible restaurants! The rest of the day is yours to enjoy this awesome town!
Day 10
Seminyak/Labuan Bajo
We're off the gateway of Komodo National Park! Welcome to Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores. Arrive in the afternoon and enjoy the rest of the day to explore, chill on the beach and get ready for an epic adventure through the Komodo islands.
Day 11
Labuan Bajo/Dintor
Venture inland this morning to Tado Village, full of beautiful rice terraces, and 15th generation descendants of immigrant Sulawesi ancestry who fled Islamic persecution in the 16th & 17th century. Join our local guide to hike up the mountain, about 1.5 km uphill then back. The views are well worth the effort so don’t forget your camera. Hike down, enjoy some lunch then continue on to Dintor Village for the night. We'll prep for our overnight trek to Waerebo Village that starts tomorrow morning.
Day 12
Dintor/Waerebo
No need to bring yours entire suitcase with you into the jungle overnight. Make sure to pack a small overnight bag with the few items you need tonight and tomorrow. You’ll be reunited with your main bags again tomorrow evening.
Day 13
Waerebo/Labuan Bajo
This evening, repack your smaller bag for the 3-day, 2-night Komodo National Park boat excursion. Your main luggage will be stored safely at the hotel in the Labuan Bajo.
Day 14
Labuan Bajo/Komodo National Park
The boat itinerary may shift depending on the season and weather.
Day 15
Komodo National Park
No better way to start a day at sea than a beautiful sunrise. Trek up Padar Island and reach the top just in time for the colorful view. Back on the boat, we head to Long Beach for some chillin’, swimmin’ and kayakin’. Next stop-Manta Point. And yes.. those mantas! Jump in the water with a snorkel in hopes to see this magnificent (and giant) sea creature. Then to the last stop of the day, Sebayur Island. Here we’ll catch the sunset on a kayak. Then head to the beach for a bonfire and star gazing. Doesn’t get much better than this, huh?
Day 16
Komodo National Park/Labuan Bajo
Last day on the boat so let’s make it count (don’t worry-we’ve got you covered!) Today will be epic- think snorkeling through the reefs, kayaking to the picture perfect Kanawa Island, and some final time to soak up life on the phinisi boat. This afternoon, we’ll dock back in Labuan Bajo, say goodbye to our boat crew and reunite with our suitcases. Take some time to relax in the hotel but not for long. Tonight, and our last night may I remind you, is our Big Night Out! One more time, we’ll hit the town together for a last hoorah! Join us at a beach bar, grab your drink of choice and celebrate together!
Day 17
Labuan Bajo
Say goodbye to the many islands of Indonesia and depart at any time.
