Trip Overview

One Life Adventures' Tour style 'Classic' icon
Twelve days, three islands, one small group. This Bali tour moves from Canggu's surf breaks through Pemuteran's reefs and Ubud's temples to the cliffs of Nusa Penida and the car-free lanes of Gili Trawangan, with never more than 22 travellers and local guides who've run this route since 2019. It's built for a specific kind of traveller: mostly solo, in their 20s and early 30s, wanting adventure and culture without a resort schedule.

Bali is often called the Island of the Gods, and once you’re here, you’ll understand why. It’s a spiritual playground packed with adventure, and our 12-day Bali small group tour lets you dive into it all – from sunrise volcano treks to surfing the world’s best beaches. Explore the iconic temples and rice terraces of Ubud, snorkel with sea turtles, and meet the mischievous monkeys of the sacred forest. If Bali isn’t on your Southeast Asia itinerary, it’s time to rethink your plans.

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!

What time do we arrive back in Canggu on day 12?

The bus will arrive in Canggu at 14:30 (ETA). As traffic will likely occur between Canggu and the airport, we recommend booking a flight no earlier than 18:00 to allow you to arrive early with enough time.

How hard is the climb up Mt Batur?

It will take around 90 minutes depending on your fitness, but it’s a very do-able hike with lots of scenic rest spots on the way up!

Do I need proper hiking gear for Batur?

You don’t need proper hiking gear, a pair of trainers and lots of layers will do. You will be warm on the hike up but once you get to the summit it can get pretty cold before the sun rises. We recommend a hoody and maybe a wooly hat. Once the sun is up though its back to Balis glorious normal temperatures!

Where do we spend the first night of the tour?

Frii Hotel Echo Beach, Canggu

Can I bring a suitcase on this trip?

We would recommend packing as light as you can on this trip, while we have private transportation at most points throughout the tour we do take fast ferries between Bali, Nusa Penida and Gili T so we recommend bringing a backpack or a lightweight suitcase to make this leg of the trip easier.

Can you cater for my dietary requirements on this trip?

Yes, we can cater for most dietary requirements. Please notify us prior to arriving on day 1 so we can arrange this for you.

I’ve never surfed before, will this be an issue in Canggu

No problem at all, the lesson at Canggu is led by professionals and is perfect for beginners as well as experienced surfers.

Where should I fly into?

Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar (DPS).

Do I need to bring temple wear?

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

Will I be picked up from the airport?

If you are arriving on day 1, you will be collected from the airport – just send us your arrival details ahead of time.

I am arriving a day early, can I still get an airport pick up?

Airport pick-ups are included if you arrive on Day 1 of the tour or if you purchase an accommodation pre-night from One Life Adventures.

If you are arriving before Day 1 and have not booked a pre-night with us, then don’t worry we will give you very simple instructions on how best to get from the airport to Frii Hotel in your information pack so you shouldn’t have any trouble!

What are travel times like on this trip?

Indonesia is a very large country, so some travel times are longer than others. There are a few days with 3-4 hour drive but we break these up with stops along the way!

How much spending money do I need for this tour?

Spending varies from person to person & you’ll receive a spending guide in your welcome pack, but $30-40 AUD per person, per day is plenty on average. You can withdraw from ATMs at various points throughout the tour.

What time can I fly out on the last day?

On the final day, we recommend the earliest flight departure at 7:00 PM from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). Please allow 1,5 – 2 hours to get to the airport.
