Bali Experience

The time has come for your trip of a lifetime to begin! Spend the day relaxing by the pool, popping to the beach or exploring Canggu, before dinner and drinks to get acquainted with your new TruFam as your Balian adventure begins. We'll start off with a traditional Indonesian to whet your appetite for all things Nasi Goreng and Sambal!

So, what better introduction to Bali's rich culture than heading to two of its most famous temples? First we'll make our way to the Royal Temple of Taman Ayun, which translates as ‘beautiful garden’. Filled with fantastic architecture, fish-filled ponds, and lush greenery. We'll then head over to Tanah Lot; the culture is such an amazing part of Indonesia, and we can't wait to explore with you.

Grab your board, hit the beach and let’s catch some waves. It’s time for your very own surf lesson on Kuta Beach, one of the best places to surf in Asia. Our excellent local Kuta instructors will teach you the basics. After a morning on the water, we’ll head back to chill out at the hotel or have a stroll on the beach. Your guide will have so many ideas for your afternoon! Then we'll watch the sunset, cocktail in hand, recounting the day’s surfing stories.

We’re off to the bohemian jungle town of Ubud. Before we get there, we’ll stop to cool off at the beautiful Tegenungan waterfall. Once we’ve checked into the hotel, you'll have a bit of time to look around the town, take in the sights, chat to the lovely locals and have a nibble on some Ubud delicacies. After we've freshened up, we'll head out to one of Bali’s coolest live music destinations, play some pool and get your guide to show you the coconut ice cream parlour in Ubud - it's not one to miss!

We’ll start the day by heading down to the markets to have a peek at the freshest ingredients Bali has to offer. Then we’ll join the amazing Wayan and his family to learn how to rustle up some of Bali’s famous cuisine, as well as Canang Sari, the flower offerings made for the Gods. Then, with our bellies full, we’ll head to the sacred monkey forest. Then it’s time to head back for dinner with your TruFam, where you can eat, drink, monkey around and count up all the unforgettable memories you’ve made so far.

Get ready to wander through the beautiful rice terraces of Tegalalang. Trek through Ubud valleys and learn all about the importance of those little grains for the Balinese and the world economy. This afternoon we'll visit Kintamani for a spot of lunch overlooking the active volcano Mt. Batur. It is mesmerising and the perfect photo opportunity - this day has to make it on the feed! We’ll then head back to either top up your tan by the pool or pick up some souvenirs at the colourful and vibrant local market.

Right. We’ve done the temples. Done the rice paddies. It’s about time we hit up Bali’s famous beaches, don’t you think? Grab your snacks because today we’re jumping on a bus, before riding a ferry over to the stunning Gili Trawangan. Gili T is one of the most stunning places in Indonesia and the perfect place to end our trip. Kick back, put your feet up, and paddle in the crystal waters of the Gili Islands before gorging on the mouth-watering food on offer for dinner.

Today we’re off island hopping! We'll visit Gili Trawangan & Gili Meno, home to some of the best snorkel spots this incredible place has to offer. You’ll see stunning coral, beautiful fish, turtles and maybe even a shark or two. Once you’ve had a gander at Bali’s incredible sea life, you can enjoy a beachfront lunch on Gili Meno, before we head out this evening to enjoy the stunning sunset and an ice-cold cocktail at some of the best beach bars on the island.

Did you know one of the best ways to explore the Gili Islands is by bicycle? Well, now you do! Today we’ll all cycle around the island, exploring all of this unreal place, before taking a small trek up the hill to see the best viewpoint Gili has to offer. In the afternoon, we will head over to Horses of Gili, an amazing local non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the welfare of the working horses that support transportation across the Gili Islands. We'll join them for an afternoon beach walk with the horses and learn all about how they protect the horses and give them the best life possible. In the evening, we'll enjoy one last sunset with your TruFam as you reminisce about your epic time on the trip over a farewell dinner, before finishing off in Tru style with a little party to celebrate what we guarantee has been the best 10 days of your life.

Today, you say bye to your Tru Fam, the unbelievable place that is Bali, and to this amazing experience that, let’s be honest, changed your life. Your Tru Leader is on hand to fly kicking you into your next adventure; whether that be more adventures throughout Indonesia, a trip to another destination, or to bid you farewell on your journey home.
