Days 1-4

Ubud

Ubud is a good first stop after the long flight because it’s small enough to navigate yet full of character. If you can handle an early start, the Mount Batur sunrise trek is a goosebump moment and comes with breakfast at the summit. If you prefer your scenery with more splash, try rafting on the Ayung River through rainforest.

Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
Bali

Watching the sun rise from the top of Bali’s Mount Batur is an unforgettable experience. A very early start awaits as we’ll need to start the climb around 4am to make sure we reach the summit in time for sunrise. Mount Batur is a 1717-metre-high active volcano to the north west of Mount Agung. The climb will take around two hours and we’ll reach the top just as the sun rises for a magical and peaceful moment high above the island. 

Tuck into a well-earnt breakfast and enjoy time to soak up the panoramic views over the volcanic landscape and mountain peaks and acknowledge your achievement. You’ll then head back down to base camp, where a soothing soak in hot springs will be waiting for you. This sunrise trek would be a fantastic adventure to add on to a honeymoon or beach holiday.

• Departing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from South Bali, Seminyak, Ubud, Uluwatu and Candidasa hotels

Good to know
There are a number of things we recommend bringing for this trip: warm clothes, hiking shoes, long trousers, swimwear, camera and sun block. Your professional tour guide will provide a head lamp, walking sticks, gloves, hiking bag, rain coat and a small water bottle to make the climb much easier. This climb is classified as a medium level of difficulty, so a good level of fitness is required (as a guide, it’s suitable for those that enjoy hill walking).

Ayung River Rafting Adventure
Bali

Get ready to splash, scream and smile your way through Bali’s wildest white‑water adventure with the island’s original rafting pioneers, Mason Adventures! Take on the mighty Ayung River in Ubud as you ride 33 thrilling class 2–3 rapids, bounce over natural ramps and zoom through swirling jungle waterways that are as scenic as they are exciting. With Mason’s state‑of‑the‑art rafting base, this is the ultimate way to crank up the adrenaline, soak up the beauty of Bali and have some seriously unforgettable fun.

• Duration: half day

• Timings: 9am to 2pm or 12pm to 5pm

Good to know

This is recommended for ages 5-65 years only. Bring a change of clothes. Be at the hotel lobby 15 minutes before pick-up time.

Days 5-7

Lovina

Travel north by private transfer, which takes around three hours depending on traffic and essential coffee stops. Lovina is quieter than the south, with black volcanic sand and calm seas that are perfect for swimming or snorkelling. Mornings tend to start slowly, with yoga in the gardens, and evenings are for grilled fish and cold beer by the beach.

Days 8-13

Sanur

Head south to Sanur for the final stretch of your trip. Sanur was one of Bali’s first beach resorts and still has an easy, lived-in charm. The sea is calm, the promenade is lined with cafés, and the sunsets are spectacular. You can take a full-day tour in a vintage VW Jeep through fields and villages, or simply stay put with your feet in the sand.

Western Bali’s Highlights by Vintage VW Jeep
Bali

Bali’s colourful VW 181 Safari Jeeps are a classic sight around the island. They also provide a seriously cool way to explore. Jump on board for an adventure around western Bali to see some of the island’s most famous temples and stunning diverse landscapes. Your tour begins with a trip to Bali’s most popular attraction: the ancient sea temple shrine of Pura Tanah Lot, which is perched on a rock formation offshore. A morning visit will hopefully mean you’ll have a more tranquil experience. You’ll then be driven through villages and rice fields up into the mountains to the rainforested slopes of Batukaru volcano, home to impressive Pura Luhur Batukaru, which you’ll explore on a guided tour. A drive through Bali’s most spectacular rice terraces around UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jatiluwih follows, before you arrive at Bedugul, located 1200 meters above sea level. We’ll stop at Beratan Lake to visit beautiful Ulun Danu Temple, which sits in the middle of the lake, and have a buffet lunch in the tropical gardens. On our route back, we’ll head to a colourful local market so you can experience the buzz of local life and then look around a traditional Balinese family compound, which has a distinctive design, for an insightful end to the day.

• Duration: full day
• Departing daily from South Bali, Seminyak and Central Ubud hotels
