Itinerary
You're in Bali, welcome! We're kicking things off in Uluwatu in the south of Bali. Arrive any time on the first day, meet your group and head out for an evening of getting to know your new besties over a welcome meal
Today we are headed out for a day of culture - you'll be picked up by our amazing guide Wayan and taken to some of the most amazing local temples. In the evening we'll head back to the hostel to chill before venturing out to watch the sunset, get some dinner and boogie the night away.
Today we'll spend time at Melasti beach letting our competitive side out in games of volleyball and frizbee. In the evening we'll head out to the famous Single Fin for dinner and drinks - if you haven't heard of it, google it, it's incredible!
Wake up and get packed ready to travel to our second location of the trip - Canggu! We'll arrive there early afternoon and have a free afternoon to explore as you wish, head to the beach, sit in a bar with a Bintang or explore the shops.
This morning we'll walk over to Love Anchor to get some cute jewellery, fun t-shirts and some souviners. After some lunch we'll head to Finn's you'll have heard of this iconic beach club - the sunsets here are special and it's such a vibe!
We're on our way to Ubud, the home of chilled vibes and spirituality. There's lots to do in Ubud, so we have left the afternoon free so you can do as you'd like, head to the infamous Monkey Forest, head to some more markets, do a spot of yoga or get a massage. In the evening we'll go for some food. There are so many good restaurants here, luckily, your amazing Tru leader is on hand to show you the top spots!
This morning we are headed to a cooking class! Our amazing cooking teachers will pick us up and show us where they buy their fresh ingredients and spices before taking us to their home for a traditional lesson in all things Nasi Goreng. This afternoon we'll walk around the famous traditional market in Ubud before going for yet another amazing dinner and a few beers if you fancy!
Today we're off to the famous Tegalalang rice terraces. After we've got the perfect pic for insta, we'll have some chilled time back at the hostel before heading out for our final night in Ubud!
Today we're heading to our favourite spot Gili T! With incredible beaches, turtles, no cars and endless coconuts this place is close to paradise. If you're anything like us you'll want to head straight to the beach so there's a free afternoon for you to explore and relax.
Today we're jumping on a glass-bottomed boat for a day of snorkelling around Turtle point and some other amazing spots between the islands. We'll stop at Gili Meno for lunch and a recharge before exploring an amazing coral reef on our way back to Gili T.
Wake up and spend the morning as you'd like, explore the island, do some more snorkelling or just relax on the beach. This afternoon we'll jump on some bikes and head to some of your Tru Leaders favourite spots on the island before ending up on a beach for a sunset beer, of course!
This morning we'll checkout and head off on our next adventure. See you next time!
Trip Inclusions
- 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.
