Bali, Lombok, Gili & Flores: The Island Sampler - 23 Days

Welcome to Bali-a literal island paradise! Known for incredible surf, wild nightlife, with somehow both a hectic yet relaxed hippie vibe! After arrival, check into the hostel and meet your crew of travelers for a welcome meeting. This evening, join your group for your first night out in crazy-fun Canggu!

You came to an island known around the world for having epic surf, so whether you shred or have never seen a board, today is for you! Join a surf lesson for all levels, getting your footing on land before hitting the water to practice with the instructors. After the lesson, the day is yours! Rent a board to keep practicing, relax on the beach or grab a beer at a cute warung, local Indonesian restaurant.

Take a break from Bali's wild side and head north to Bulian. Here we can connect will locals, slow down and enjoy Bali's famed rice terraces. On the way up, we'll stop at the breathtaking Ulundanu Temple, sitting on the edge of Lake Beratan. Continue to Bulian where we'll be welcomed with a drink and lunch. Fuel up for a trek alongside waterfalls, through rice fields and in the local village to connect with the natural and cultural side of Bali. Learn to make Balinese offerings then head to the nearby temple and join a local priest for the ceremony.

Enjoy all that the beautiful village of Bulian has to offer today on a free day to choose your own adventure. Choose to trek through Lemukih Village to see a durian plantation, beautiful rice terraces, coffee fields and waterfalls! You'll even have the chance to slide down a natural waterslide! Or choose to head out on a bike tour through Bulian to get acquainted with Northern Bali.

A free morning gives you the chance to explore the rest of Bulian on your terms. Choose to just chill, or join a local cooking class or sunrise fishing trip. Then jump in the van and drive to Kintamani, the town nestled at the base of Mt Batur to arrive to our campsite for the night. Did we mention this campsite has a hot spring pool? Soak in the hot springs then join us 'round the campfire for a cozy night of camping!

Rise and shine as we are getting after it today! Waking well before the sun, we'll start our 2 hour trek to reach the Mt Batur summit in time to enjoy an absolutely stunning sunrise. 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. Then it's goodbye Kintamani and hello Ubud! On the way, we'll stop at the tour operator-supported PKP Community to meet with the women leaders, visit the garden and enjoy a local lunch. Then, the rest of the afternoon is yours to explore Ubud. But in the evening, put your party hat on because we're going out! Join your group and CEO for your Big Night Out in Ubud.

There is always something to discover in the great town of Ubud. Today is yours to explore however you’d like.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The boat itinerary may shift depending on the season and weather.

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?

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!

Say goodbye to the many islands of Indonesia and depart at any time.
