This two-week adventure trip to the islands of Bali and Nusa Lembongan is a dream come true for families. We begin our Balinese immersion in the beautiful rice paddies of Belimbling , then, after a short ferry ride, we discover the famous Kawah Ijen volcano .

Next, we explore the mountainous region of Munduk with a hike through spice plantations. The adventure continues in the Batur caldera, followed by the ascent of Mount Batur, from where we have a superb view of the lake and the volcano's caldera.
