About this trip
Nine days across Bali's coast and hills, built around a budget-friendly mix of surf, temples, and island time. You'll spend early days catching waves in Kuta before heading inland to Ubud's temples and rice-green calm.
From there it's boats out to Gili Trawangan, where the pace drops right down to beach bars and clear water. The trip balances organised sightseeing with plenty of free time to do your own thing.
It's a group trip aimed at younger travellers who want to see a good spread of Bali without overplanning it themselves.
What you'll do
- Surf lessons on the waves at Kuta
- Visit Buddhist temples and lotus ponds around Ubud
- Boat over to Gili Trawangan for beach time
- Evenings at beachfront bars on Gili Trawangan
- Free time built in to explore at your own pace
- Pitched as an affordable option for younger travellers
- Mix of group activities and free time rather than a packed itinerary
- Involves at least one boat transfer between islands
Worth it if you value a guide-led social experience and diverse Balinese landscapes. Think twice if you prefer longer stays in each location.
- Guide quality makes or breaks it—AJ, Hesti, Epul created genuine friendships among 14 strangers in one trip.
- Itinerary covers serious ground: waterfalls, beaches, local food, homestays, cultural traditions in just 9 days.
- Pace is relentless; one traveller wished for an extra day in Ubud to actually absorb it.
- Homestay accommodation included; expect shared, intimate lodging rather than standard hotels.
