Bali Small Group Tours & Adventure Experiences

Bali gets under your skin fast. One morning you're hiking Mt Batur in the dark, watching the sun come up over the caldera. The next you're threading through a temple ceremony in Ubud, or floating above a coral garden off Nusa Penida with turtles below you.

Our Bali small group tours are built for travellers who want more than a resort holiday.

People who want adventures in Bali that actually go somewhere. Small groups of never more than 22, local guides who know the island beyond the guidebook, and an itinerary that moves between thrill and culture without feeling rushed.

From rice terrace hikes at Tegallalang to surf sessions in Canggu, hidden beach coves and traditional Balinese cuisine at local warungs — this is Bali done properly. One tour. Twelve days. No filler.

Bali Travel FAQs

Before you set out with us on the trip of a lifetime, we want to go over a few things. Indonesia is an amazing country with so much to offer, but like with most countries in Asia, things sometimes don’t go according to plan. This is why we may have to slightly alter the itinerary if we need to. One Life is committed to giving you the best possible experience, so if we need to change something we’ll make sure we’ll replace it with something equally awesome!

Do I need a visa to travel to Bali?

Most visitors to Indonesia will receive a paid tourist visa upon arrival, which is valid for 30 days and does not require prior organization. However, it’s important to always check with your local consulate or embassy for the latest information regarding your country of origin.  Check your specific Indonesia visa requirements here by entering your nationality. For more information about visas, please visit our FAQ page.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is mandatory for all One Life Adventures trips. Our group leader will take care of you from the moment you arrive, but unforeseen events can occur. That’s why we require all travellers to have travel insurance before departing for the trip. Having insurance will ensure that you have a more enjoyable trip, knowing that you are covered for any unexpected situations. When choosing your insurance policy, it’s important to ensure that it covers adventure activities included in the tour, medical expenses, personal belongings (in cases of lost luggage or theft), and missed flights.

When is the best time to travel to Bali?

The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, from May to September. You’ll get sunny days, ideal beach weather, and great conditions for outdoor adventures like surfing, hiking, and snorkelling.

That said, Bali’s warm year-round, and the wet season (November to March) can still be a great time to visit – with fewer crowds and lush green landscapes. Just expect the occasional tropical downpour.

Do I need to bring temple wear?

In Ubud you will need to wear temple wear when visiting the sacred temple,you will be provided with a sarong on entrance so you just need to ensure you’re covering your shoulders and chest.

How long should I spend in Bali?

Twelve days is the sweet spot for first-timers — enough time to cover Canggu, Ubud, Mt Batur, and Nusa Penida without rushing. Our Bali Classic tour runs 12 days and is designed specifically around that rhythm. If you’re short on time, Bali’s compact geography means even 7–8 days can cover the highlights, though you’ll feel the pace.

Is Bali good for solo travellers?

One of OLA’s strongest suits. The majority of people who join our Bali small group tours are travelling solo. You’re matched with a group of 16–22 like-minded travellers from the moment you land. It’s one of the most social tour destinations we run.

Giving Back in Bali

  • We support the Bio-Rock Project in Pemuteran, which has established a coral nursery to preserve coral life on the island and educate local communities.
  • During our tours, we conduct beach clean-ups to remove plastic and other non-biodegradable waste. This not only helps to protect local wildlife and sea life but also ensures that the beaches remain beautiful for the community.
