Discovering Bali

You can arrive at Denpasar Airport (Bali) on the same day or a few days before, depending on your preference. If you wish, we can arrange your flight booking and airport pickup. Please contact us for more details.

After breakfast, we will be introduced to Balinese culture: we will learn how to make offerings and play the instrument.

Traditional: The Gamelan. We also have the opportunity to learn some dance. Then, we walk through the verdant rice paddies surrounding Ubud. We visit some artisans along the way and enjoy a coconut break.

Then, in the late afternoon, we return to Ubud and enjoy some free time before the evening when everyone gets together for a nice dinner and we watch a traditional dance performance.

We head west to the city of Mengwi, the former capital of the Mengwi Kingdom, which disappeared at the end of the 19th century. We visit the Taman Ayun Temple, one of the last remaining vestiges of this kingdom. We then continue north to the village of Wangaya Gede at the foot of Mount Batukaru. We stroll through the surrounding terraced rice paddies, have lunch with a local family, and visit the little-known Batukaru Temple, nestled in the heart of the rainforest at the foot of the volcano. We then return to our hotel.

The morning is dedicated to visiting the village of Munduk and its famous waterfalls. We are at an altitude of between 800 and 900 meters, and the rice paddies have given way to spice plantations, which we explore during a short walk. Then, we head towards Bali's largest Buddhist temple, the Brahma Vihara Arama, and finish with a soak in the Banjar hot springs. Finally, we arrive in Lovina, on the coast, where we settle in for two nights.

We head inland again this morning to explore the waterfalls of Bali's north coast in the Sambangan region. We'll hike from waterfall to waterfall, and we'll also have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim at the end of the trek. After a picnic lunch, we'll return to the coast and have a free afternoon to enjoy a stroll on the beach or a relaxing massage.

Free time this morning, then we head to the Kintamani region and begin our hike for the day, descending into the Batur caldera to reach the ancient lava flows and then the lake. Finally, we settle into our hotel at the foot of the volcano.

We depart before dawn for the ascent of Mount Batur. At the summit, we witness a magnificent sunrise over the lake, as well as the distant volcanoes Agung and Rinjani. After the descent, we take a welcome break at the hot springs for a relaxing soak, then return to the guesthouse for a shower. After some rest, we head east towards Mount Agung, where Bali's largest temple, Besakih Temple, awaits us for an exceptional visit, before continuing on to the small village of Seraya in East Bali. We settle in with our hosts, Kadek and Made, and enjoy a family meal, chatting with the children of the house, who are eager to meet us. A truly authentic experience!

* If you wish, to encourage exchange and sharing, you can bring a small gift for our guests (e.g., a local specialty from your region...).

In the morning, we explored our hosts' garden, where they proudly showed us their vanilla, pineapple, and rambutan (the local lychee) plantations. Then we hiked to a temple on the hill to receive a blessing during a Balinese ceremony. We had lunch with the family before leaving them and heading to the seaside in Amed, an ideal place to relax, explore the underwater world, and admire the sunrise as the fishermen return from the open sea. A boat awaited us in Amed to take us snorkeling along the coast, perhaps giving us the chance to see the various shipwrecks dating back to 1945, filled with coral.

At the end of the day, dinner in a restaurant on the beach and night in bamboo bungalows, where we will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves.

In the evening, you say goodbye to your French-speaking guide who will leave you to continue your adventure freely afterwards.

*Possibility of taking a scuba diving excursion instead of snorkeling, whether for a first dive or if you have

already have a diving level.

In the morning, you will be transferred to Amed port to take the speedboat to Gili Air. Motor vehicles are prohibited on the island; everything is easily accessible on foot (approximately a 2-hour boat trip). Enjoy a free stay with 3 nights on Gili Air, as you wish!

Let yourself be lulled by the waves and enjoy the restaurants, massages or the many snorkeling opportunities on site!

It's time to rest, it's your vacation after all.

Late morning, you'll walk to the port to catch a speedboat to Bali. Upon arrival in the afternoon at Padang Bay port (2 hours), a private local transfer will take you to your accommodation in Sanur (1 hour) for your final night.

At the end of the day, you meet for a relaxing massage followed by a farewell dinner with the rest of the group.

After breakfast, you have the option of staying in Denpasar or taking your return flight. Please feel free to contact us for information on additional accommodation options or to book your airport transfer and return flight.

If you travel with us, you will arrive in France on the same day or on day 16, depending on your flight plan.

If you booked the flight with us, your arrival in France is scheduled for today or yesterday, depending on your flight plan.
