Travel Map

Day 1 Tour starts in Belimbing

Our tour starts this afternoon at our hotel in Belimbing, Western Bali. Belimbing is a traditional Balinese village set at about 600 metres/1,968 feet above sea level that gives you the impression of stepping back in time. For those arriving on time, our tour leade...

Day 2 Hike the rice terraces of Belimbing. Afternoon visit to Tanah Lot Temple

This morning, we'll start exploring off-the-beaten-track Bali with a walk among the terraced rice paddies to fully appreciate the beauty of this area. We'll cover approximately 5 kilometres/3 miles over around two and a half hours on mostly flat or downhill terrain. T...

Day 3 To Ubud; visit a temple in traditional Balinese style, and walk to ancient Royal tombs

After breakfast this morning, we'll make our way to a local project south of Ubud. We'll meet the staff who will help us create Balinese temple offerings, typically made up of small palm leaf baskets filled with flowers and rice, which we'll take with us to Tirta Empu...

Day 4 Free day in Ubud. Optional bike ride in the countryside or visit the famous Monkey Forest.

Located around 200-300 metres/650-985 feet above sea level, Ubud is surrounded by terraced paddy fields and is well known as the cultural heart of the island of Bali. The village itself is today a busy hive of artistic activity with many shops selling locally made bam...

Day 5 Fly from Bali to Flores. Bathe in the curative warm waters of Soa Hot Spring

Today, we'll make an early start and take an indirect flight to Bajawa on Flores Island to the east. Although it is slowly growing in popularity, Flores is still very much off mainstream tourism flows. Its stunning natural beauties and the good-hearted people are just...

Day 6 From Bajawa, hike through traditional Ngada tribal villages and join a bamboo workshop

This morning, we'll have an early start for the drive to Wolobobo, from where we'll enjoy magnificent views of Ebulobo and Inerie volcanoes. At the foot of Inerie, we'll meet our local guide for an easy walk through several small traditional Ngada villages to learn mo...

Day 7 Drive through the beautiful countryside of central Flores to Ruteng and visit a coffee cooperative run by women

We'll spend the day making our way through a stunning landscape, passing dense jungle, active volcanoes, and the rice fields of central Flores as we make our way west across the island. Along the way we stop to learn about Arak liquor - also known as potent firewater,...

Day 8 To Labuan Bajo via Hobbit Cave and Cancar spiderweb rice fields

We'll leave Ruteng after breakfast and make our way to Liang Bua Cave, where, thanks to a local guide and dedicated museum, we'll learn about the ancient human species Homo floresiensis, an extinct species of small archaic human that lived in Flores until over 50,000 ...

Day 9 Cruise to Rinca Island for Komodo dragon safari walk; overnight on boat

First thing this morning, we'll head to Labuan Bajo harbour to board our boat which will take us on a two-day sea adventure. All our meals will be prepared and served on board. Komodo National Park was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1986 and includes ...

Day 10 Cruise to Komodo Island for Komodo dragon safari walk; snorkelling and swimming off Pink Beach

This morning, we'll continue our cruise to Padar Island. After a short walk uphill, we'll enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime view of the iconic panorama. Afterwards, we'll make a short cruise to the beautiful Pink Beach, which takes its name from the pink sand created from re...

Day 11 Free morning; Fly to Bali and drive to Jimbaran Beach

The morning is free, either to relax at the hotel or perhaps to explore the small town and market of Labuan Bajo. This afternoon, we'll fly back to Bali and drive to the beach at Jimbaran where we can relax before our tour ends. Tonight, there'll be the chance to have a farewell group dinner at one of the picture-perfect restaurants on the beach.

Meals Provided : Breakfast

Day 12 Tour ends in Jimbaran

Our tour ends after breakfast, but depending on flight times there may be the opportunity to enjoy the beach this morning for one last time. If you'd like to extend your stay to explore Bali further and enjoy more of the breathtaking sunsets of Jimbaran, please contact us to arrange post-tour accommodation.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Indonesia: British nationals travelling to Indonesia for tourism purposes can apply for a visa on arrival at a cost of IDR 500,000. Other nationalities may require a visa or may travel visa free for up to 30 days. Please check your government advice. If travelling on a free visa you must also exit via one of the approved ports - including international airports in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bali, Medan, Surabaya and Batam, and sea ports in Batam and Bintan. All passports must have at least 6 months validity remaining after departure from Indonesia and have at least two blank pages. The Bali Provincial Government introduced a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person to all foreign tourists arriving in Bali. We recommend making the payment online prior to arrival. A QR code will be sent to you by email for scanning upon arrival. For more information and payment please visit https://lovebali.baliprov.go.id/.
Health & Safety
Nothing compulsory, but we recommend protection against malaria, tetanus, infectious hepatitis, typhoid and polio. Consult your travel clinic for latest advice on Malaria and Zika Virus. Please take preventative measures to avoid mosquito bites - these include mosquito repellent as well as long trousers and long sleeve shirts to cover up when necessary. Although not compulsory, travellers may wish to immunise themselves against Japanese encephalitis. Please check the latest requirements with your travel clinic or doctor prior to departure. The above is not an exhaustive list. Further information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice can be found by following the NHS and NaTHNaC links at <a href="https://www.explore.co.uk/essential-information/know-before-you-go/travel-health">Explore Travel Health</a> and from your local healthcare provider. Visa and vaccination requirements are subject to change and should be confirmed by you before travelling.
