TURTLE VOLUNTEER PROJECT
An incredible once in a lifetime experience as we head to a remote village in West Sumatra where we spend our day volunteering at a local turtle conservation. We'll learn the importance of the protection of these majestic animals and how they'll thrive in the natural untouched waters of Sumatra.
LOCAL COOKING CLASS
After an accidental meeting on a rainy day in Bali we met Wayan's family and ever since they have been teaching our TruFam how to master the art of cooking up traditional Indonesian cuisine in their family home. We’ve worked with the family for years, and they only take us to the best markets to get the local ingredients. We spend the day checking out the markets and visiting the insta worthy rice paddies. Because really have you even been to Bali if you didn’t get a pic at the rice paddies?
MOYO ISLAND
With only 50 tourists allowed to visit a day. It’s paradise. Crystal clear waters, untouched waterfalls. A dream destination. We take you there by boat for the day where we meet a group of locals who take us on a kick ass bike ride into the heart of the island. If you’re looking to go off the beaten path and see Indonesia in all its glory - MOYO IS THE PLACE TO BE. Not many people can say they’ve been to Moyo, but hey, the TruFam can.
LIVE-ABOARD BOAT
A TruExclusive like no other, 3 days 2 nights on our private live-aboard boat bound for the Komodo Islands. We’re taking you to some of the most scenic islands in the whole of Indonesia. Totally off the beaten path. Swim in the salt lake crater on Satonda Island, snorkel at Manta Point, trek up to Gili Lawa for a viewpoint like no other. Visit Pink beach before we enter the prehistoric world of Komodo Dragons. Inhabiting only 4 islands in the world, seeing Komodo Dragons in the wild really is a once in a lifetime experience. Sleep under the stars, sail the seas, dine onboard with your TruFam for 2 nights watching the sunset go down…beer in hand on your own private boat. What’s more exclusive than that?

It's an early start but we promise you, it's going to be worth it because once we've had our fuel of the morning, we are putting out trekking boots on *metaphorical ones - we don’t have room for any more gear in our backpacks ofc* as we head off into the rainforest to spot the local wildlife. So you best keep an eye out for monkeys, tropical birds and maybe even some orangutans! We know you'll have worked up an appetite and doing what we do best, we have it all figured out as your local guide prepares you an incredible lunch for you to enjoy in the heart of the jungle. After we have refuelled, we make our way back down the river but this time we are going with the flow... So take off your boots and let's hit the river. We're river tubing straight to our hotel doorstep. Now, that's wild, right?!

Reviews

Amazing tour guide
Ibing was honestly spectacular. He always regularly checked in on everyone and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. When someone had an issue Ibing always jumped straight into action and helped figure out the best solution to make sure the issue was sorted but things kept moving. He is very knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed when he would share history or fun facts with us along the way. He would always answer any questions you had and is a top tier jokester. He truly made this experience unforgettable and cultivated a strong bond between everyone in the group. Ibing has such a big heart and is always looking out for his community and allowed us to share some special moments with him as we got to be immersed in the culture. He always took us out to new places to eat and explore in our free time to ensure we were always experiencing something new. Ibing’s passion for travel and people as well as his positive attitude are truly infectious and inspiring. Will definitely keep in contact with my Tru travels familia and am heartbroken that our time together has come to an end. The activities on the trip were spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed everything that I participated in. I loved helping out in the local community and meeting some amazing locals and felt fully immersed in the culture. Would highly recommend this trip!

Unforgettable experience
When I first came on this tour I expected a tour guide like any other but I quickly came to realise ibing is a fantastic tour guide. He makes the whole thing feel like a fantastic fever dream and you really get to develop an actual connection with him. He is the most outgoing and friendly tour guide I’ve ever had and he made every minute of this tour feel special I couldn’t recommend him enough. I have loved every second of this tour and I am so grateful to have had ibing as our guide he made the experience so unique and special. All the activities and hotels we stayed in were fantastic and there was never a time when I wasn’t excited to do them.
