Included Experience
  • Seminyak: Kick off your trip with welcome drinks at one of the most happening beach clubs in Bali (your first cocktail's on us!). Best part? The people at the resort work with the local community to recycle and reduce waste, and even reuse all their plastic.
  • Gili Trawangan: Best way to get around Gili T? A bike, ofc! No motorised vehicles are allowed on Gili (good for us tho, who doesn't love a lovely seaside bike ride anyway?). We'll hire a bike for the 3 wonderful days that we're gonna spend exploring this idyllic island.
  • Gili Trawangan: It's time to explore the world-famous Gili Islands! First, we'll zip through the turquoise water on an outrigger boat to Gili Mano (the most underexplored island of the three) for a full morning of snorkelling over vibrant corals, schools of fish, and even sea turtles - if you're lucky! Then we'll head to Gili Air for a beachside lunch at a local eatery. Afterwards, you've got some time to chill around and go swimming in the crystal clear sea before we make our way back to Gili Trawangan.
  • Sanur: Sit back, relax and get a good bird's eye view of the sea as we zip through the skies towards Labuan Bajo.
  • Kelor Island: We'll take a short hike up the hill on Kelor Island. Get ready to capture the incredible panoramic view of the stunning scenery of Flores Island, Rinca Island and many other small islands. Cameras at the ready!
  • Manjarite Island: Craving some R&R? This picturesque island is perfect for chilling, snorkelling, swimming and even those Insta photo dumps!
  • Kalong Island: Watch the sun set over the sprawling mangrove forest of Kalong Island. Keep an eye out for bats that have made this island their home.
  • Padar Island: Ready for some dark trekking? We'll head to Padar Island for a short trek up the island's tallest hill. Keep your cameras at the ready because these panoramic sunrise views will completely blow you away! Think: turquoise waters, green hills, blue bays and lots of tiny islands, all with a golden sunrise tint. Spectacular is an understatement.
  • Komodo Island: Get ready for a 90-min trek with a local park ranger as we check out all the views & wildlife here. Think: wild horses, buffaloes, pigs and the one and only - Komodo dragons! You'll also learn about their life on the islands and pass by waterholes to see some hunting action.
  • Pink Beach: A beach with pink sand and clear blue water? You gotta see it to believe it! Enjoy a swim or a snorkel in the clear blue water. And ofc - Get. Those. Photos. In.
  • Manta Point: This spot is famous for its high-rate of manta ray spottings. So, put on your snorkelling gear, get exploring and keep your eyes peeled!
  • Taka Makassar: Check out this incredibly tiny yet incredibly beautiful desert island in the middle of the ocean.
  • Kanawa Island: Another day, another blue bay. Check out the crystal clear waters of Kanawa and chill around with your crew at the beach.

FAQs
  • Bangkok: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
