Bali Intro — 12 Day

If you want to see Bali properly, this 12-day intro trip packs in the good stuff without the guesswork. You’ll kick off with a ready-made crew and a friendly group leader, then dive into the island’s mix of surf breaks, steaming jungle waterfalls, ancient temples and lively beach nights. One day you’re learning to ride waves, the next you’re wandering local markets, spotting dolphins offshore or wandering through the famous Monkey Forest as the air hums with tropical life.

There’s plenty of time to slow down too. Snorkel with turtles around tropical islands, wake early for a sunrise hike up an active volcano, and finish it all with a proper Balinese massage when your legs have earned it. From incense drifting through temple courtyards to salt spray on a boat deck and music rolling across the beach after dark, this is Bali with all the layers turned up. Come ready to explore, meet your people, and make the most of every day.

Know before you go: - Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and a good pair of sandals or trainers. - Bring temple-appropriate clothing that covers your shoulders and knees for cultural visits. - A daypack, reusable water bottle and insect repellent will come in handy for hikes and jungle stops. - Carry some Indonesian Rupiah for markets, snacks and personal spending, as not everything will take card. - Sunrise volcano hikes can be cool before dawn, so add a warm layer to your pack. - Check your passport is valid for travel to Indonesia and confirm any visa requirements before you go.
