Summary

Want to experience Bucket-List Bali and spend your days exploring the lush countryside and dreamy islands.... of course! On this tour you'll experience the cool surf town of Canggu (hitting the waves yourself) cook up a storm and climb a mountain in Ubud and island hop between idyllic spots stopping to snorkel with mantas on the way. You'll be on the go a lot of the time to see all the amazing things that Bali has to offer - but there's always plenty of stops to take it all in and pool at every hotel so you'll be able to kick back and relax too. With great hotels and loads of inclusions, this is our teams favourite shorter Bali Trip itinerary.

This is one of our independent tours, meaning you won't be with a set group and tour leader for the duration. Typically you will be met at your hotels by a driver and/or guide every step of the way, and will have the chance to meet new people on each daily tour or excursion. This gives you not only the flexibility of free time away from a set group, but also the opportunity to meet a new expert local guide at every step of your journey through Bali.

This tour has been carefully crafted to include Bali's most iconic highlights with all transfers and activities organised for you but without the rigidity of a large group.

If there are any activities you'd rather opt out of or add on, or accommodation you’d like to change or upgrade just let us know and we should be able to arrange this (Changes may result in a fluctuation in price). We can normally change duration, add beach stay or cater to any specific add on's that you would be interested in.

If you are travelling as a group larger than 4 then we are likely to be able to discount the price - just ask our team. If you are a solo traveller then the price is often a little more as many services are private. It’s still a great option if you are looking for more independence but we do have the same itinerary with this operator as a group trip.

Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Arriving into the Land of the Gods

    Welcome to the Island of the Gods! Day 1 of our trip is the welcome day. We will pick you up from the airport and cruise down to the bustling hub of Canggu. Check-in at the awesome Frii Hotel and have an afternoon Bintang by the pool or if you are feeling the effects of your long flight, have a quick siesta. Just before sundown, you could stroll down to the beach to catch your first epic Bali sunset!

  • Day 2

    Ubud, Waterfalls, Rice fields

    Today we head to the beautiful area of Ubud. We will visit the towering Tegenungan waterfalls, pack a towel if you want to have a refreshing dip! Next up the famous Ubud rice terraces and maybe jump on the swing. End the day with a tranquil sundown drink in the rooftop infinity pool.

  • Day 3

    Mt Batur, Monkey Forrest

    For all the keen hikers it will be an early start for you today.

    Time to catch one of the best sunrises of your life on top of Mt Batur. Watch the sun shimmer its way through the low-lying clouds below you. If mountain climbing or early mornings isn’t your thing then we can organise alternatives or just a relaxing free day. After lunch, it is time to get the bananas ready as we go and visit Monkey Forest, watch out they can be cheeky!

  • Day 4

    Ubud – Local Market, Cooking Class

    No trip to Ubud would be complete without haggling at the local market to get that Bali Bag! We'd suggest going down straight after breakfast as this is the best time to catch a deal, the earlier the better!

    Mid-afternoon we will be off to fire up some woks and cook our dinner at a traditional Balinese cooking class. This is a really special experience cooking in an open kitchen in the middle of rice fields

  • Day 5

    Onto Gili Trawangan

    Time for greener pastures or should we say bluer waters. Today, island hop to the spectacular Gili islands and you'll cruise in style on the fast boat. Once you arrive in Gilli T, get checked into your guest house and make your way to the beach with your group to get that famous Gili T sunset swing shot! Once the sun goes down the Gili T nightlife ramps up - try a couple ‘joss shots’ and dance the night away in the many beach bars.

  • Day 6

    Cruising the Gilis

    All aboard as you join a tour of the 3 Gili islands. Kick that hangover in the butt by diving into the crystal clear tropical waters whilst turtle spotting and exploring the stunning underwater world. Once back on Gili T, you'll jump on bicycles for a leisurely pedal around the island to take in the stunning views.

  • Day 7

    Island Life

    Today say goodbye to the Gili Islands, as you will be making your way to the relatively unexplored island of Nusa Lembongan. Have the morning in Gili T to enjoy a lazy brunch or another cycle around before the boat leaves around lunch time. Arrive in time to watch another amazing sunset from the legendary Devils Tear viewpoint on Nusa Lembongan.

  • Day 8

    Snorkels and Surf

    What better way to start the day then by snorkeling with Manta Rays?! Then as if it couldn't get better after lunch you can learn to surf in paradise! Forget those other surf schools over in Bali, ride the crystal clear swell of Nusa Lembongan!

    You'll learn the basics on the sand with a qualified surf instructor before paddling out to the famous ‘Playgrounds’ break. Don’t worry you won’t be alone - Your instructor will be right there next to you helping you glide onto the best waves.

  • Day 9

    Beaches of Nusa Penida

    Today will sadly be our final full day of the trip. However, we have saved the best for last! Nusa Penida!! We take in the Mangroves before making our way to Nusa Penida. Take iconic photos high above Kelingking Beach and Billabong Beach.

    After lunch, we will go and chill at the wonderful Crystal Bay.

    Then back to Nusa Lembongan before catching one last incredible sunset.

  • Day 10

    Goodbyes!

    Today you'll take the ferry back to Bali and then a transfer to the airport, or any nearby hotel if you're staying on, is included. Your operator will be in touch in advance to discuss the best option for you.

  • My wife and I recently returned from Bali from our Honeymoon. We selected Bali Bucket List Tours to help get us around the Island and plan our excursions for the time we spent there. I could not recommend using this service enough. Every single day seemed like it could not be any better, but the next day would bring even better sights, views, and activities. As a couple who had never been to Bali before, organizing the transportation and stays alone was huge plus for us. We did decide to the tour as a “private” tour for our honeymoon but did meet up with the group on some occasions which was nice, and necessary due to the chaos that can come with hoping on boats to all the different Islands, being part of the group helped a lot with that part of the trip. We honestly cannot say enough great things about the activities of this trip, the accommodations, and the beautiful place that is Indonesia. This was a great way for anyone to be able to affordably see a ton of things in the Bali area. The guides we were with throughout the tour were great, and Ali spent the most amount of time with us. His friendly and patient demeanor was very impressive, and he also had some fun “Aliisms” we will never forget, Thanks for a great trip!

Essential trip information

Our Important Notes and Packing List cover all essentials, from necessary equipment to inclusions, ensuring you're fully equipped and informed for this extraordinary adventure and more.

Frequently asked questions

  • I understand the arrival transfer is included, but can you organise the return transfer back to the airport and how much will it be?

    The tour finishes in Nusa Lemongan and you are free to leave at any time. The first ferry leaves Nusa Lemongan at 8am and your included ferry ticket also includes a taxi back to the airport once you get off the boat. Your Group Leader can help organise your return back to the airport for you when you are there.
  • What's the earliest I can book my return flight home?

    The first boat back from Nusa Lemongan is at 8am. After the boat ride, it takes on average 1 hour to get from the marina to the airport, so we would recommend not booking a flight any earlier than 1pm.
  • If I arrive earlier than the tour start date can I still use the included airport transfer?

    You can still use the included transfer if you arrive the day before. If you arrive any earlier then we can still arrange a transfer for you, however it will be at a cost of 250,000IDR which will need to be paid locally to the driver.
  • Can you book extra nights at the beginning of the trip and how much will it be?

    We recommend booking the same hotel the tour starts in which is the Frii Hotel, Echo Beach. If you wish to book extra nights we recommend booking it via booking.com. Please be advised that if you have not booked the single room option for the trip, you may need to check out, and check back into a twin room for the start of your trip.
  • How much spending money do I need?

    Roughly 200-300GBP, unless you buy a lot of beer or souvenirs!
