- Relax on the beaches of Seminyak
- Discover Ubud’s spirituality
- Enjoy an at leisure trip
Bali, the “Island of the Gods”, is so much more than beaches and waves, it also has a rich culture, dense jungles & rainforests, and awe-inspiring temples. The best way to ensure you don't miss a thing is by having a perfect balance of culture and countryside (or should we say jungle-side) paired with some time on Bali’s coastlines. This holiday to Bali will bring you from the southern beaches of Canggu to Ubud, the cultural highlight of Bali and Sidemen - our little secret of ricefields and fruit plantations.
Explore Bali by traveling around the island in a private car with a driver, who will take you to see these island highlights. During your holiday to Bali, you will also have the chance to cycle through rice fields, ride in a vintage convertible Volkswagen to the volcano, and experience a traditional fire dance. We will get you off the beaten path by taking you to the less frequented Sangeh Monkey Forest, and experience local village life in the culturally rich village of Sidemen; plus you will sleep virtually in the middle of the rice fields.
So what are you waiting for? Come join us on this holiday to Bali through the highlights of this beautiful island.
