Itinerary

Day 1 Ubud

Welcome to Ubud, arguably the most famous city in Bali! Settle in and explore this funky town then meet your group for a welcome meeting this evening. But stick around because we’re heading out on our First Night Out! Get to know each other and Ubud a bit better

Day 2 Ubud

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!

Day 3 Ubud/Tempasan

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

Day 4 Tempasan

Get close to local life in Lombok today on a village tour and rice terrace trek. Meet with local farmers to learn about village life firsthand, wander through the instagramable rice terraces and maybe sample some local fruit on the various plantations. Then join the local women to learn about their gorgeous traditional weaving styles and a yummy lunch. The rest of the day is yours to explore Lombok how you'd like. Opt to join a local cooking class, take a bike tour or join a yoga class. Then join the group for an after-dinner campfire

Day 5 Tempasan

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!

Day 6 Tempasan/Senggigi

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

Day 7 Senggigi/Gili Trawangan

Get ready for the ultimate island paradise as we travel to Gili Trawangan, an island with no motorized vehicles and the freshest air! After dropping our things off at the hotel, we head back out to sea for a snorkel trip. On board the boat, we’ll jet around to various islands and picturesque snorkel spots in search of sea turtles, rays and if we’re lucky, a cute lil reef shark. Grab your sunscreen and a snorkel and get ready for an epic day. Tonight, as if today could get any better, we head out on our big night out! Want a drank? Wanna dance? Well let’s do it!

Day 8 Gili Trawangan

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

Day 9 Gili Trawangan/Seminyak

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!

Day 10 Seminyak/Labuan Bajo

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

Day 11 Labuan Bajo/Dintor

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

Day 12 Dintor/Waerebo

Today we trek into the jungle! A drive and a motorbike ride brings us to the starting point of the hike. We’re headed to the remote Waerebo Village, famous for its traditional circular and cone-shaped houses called Mbaru Niang. Trek through the tropical jungle and up hill for about 2-3 hours, with plenty of stops to rest. We’ll be greeted with a welcome ceremony by the local villagers, followed by lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a little pick me up where we’ll learn to harvest coffee beans and prep them for our own drinking. Tonight we will sleep in a Mbaru Niang together. These accommodations are basic but offer an extremely unique opportunity to experience this beautiful and cozy village

Day 13 Waerebo/Labuan Bajo

Say goodbye to our friends in Waerebo Village and trek back to the place we started yesterday. Take a motorbike to meet our transport and luggage. Then drive back to Labuan Bajo for a much deserved rest

Day 14 Labuan Bajo/Komodo National Park

And today we’re off to the famous Komodo National Park! Walk to the harbour then board the boat. And yes! We are exploring Komodo by boat! The First stop-Kelor Island. We’ll take a short hike to an incredible view and then jump into kayaks to Strawberry Rock. Admire the incredible, picturesque, crystal-clear water then jump in to snorkel and watch the fish swim through the coral. After lunch back onboard, it’s off to our next island-Rinca Island. The trek on this island has one point… to spot the worlds largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon! Afterwards, enjoy relaxing on the boat for the rest of evening. Make sure not to miss the stellar sunset onboard as you watch thousands of flying foxes take flight in the colorful sky anchored at our third island, Padar

Day 15 Komodo National Park

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?

Day 16 Komodo National Park/Labuan Bajo

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!

Day 17 Labuan Bajo

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