Unpredictable volcanos not really your bag? DW: we’ve got options. Learn to carve like a pro on an optional surfing lesson. Join an e-bike tour around the stunning Jatiluwih area’s lush valleys and thick forest.

Ubud
4Today’s 100% yours to delve deeper into this culturally rich gem-of-a-place.

Align your chakras during an optional yoga class, then enjoy a relaxing massage – it's a hard life but someone’s gotta do it. Opt to unleash your inner adventurer and jump on a quad bike.

Ubud – Gili Trawangan (Gili Islands)
5Wave goodbye to Bali as we speedboat our way to Gili. We’re heading north to the biggest of the Gili archipelago trio: Gili Trawangan. Insert: sun-bleached sandy beaches, shimmering turquoise water and sipping fresh coconuts under palm trees. Get your bearings with an orientation bike ride around the island. Then: the rest is up to you. Do the obvious and get horizontal on one of Gili’s gorgeous beaches. Relax and unwind with a beachfront massage. Hunt down Pituq Cafe for a refreshing fresh-fruit smoothie. Or pull up a pew at a local cocktail bar – you won’t have to venture far. Tonight, head to Trawangan night market for a feed. Here you can try everything from nasi gorang and bakso meatball soup to fresh lobster, squid, king prawns and snapper. Basically? You want it, they’ll grill it.

Gili Trawangan
6Today, you’ve got 24 hrs to do you. Need some suggestions? Step into a glass bottom boat to see which awesome creatures live *in Sebastian’s voice* under the sea on a guided tour. Or do your good deed for the day and help clear the ocean of rubbish on a stand-up paddleboarding session (the sea turtles salute you). Prefer to keep your feet on solid ground? Easy. Practice mindfulness at one of the islands many yoga studios. Go for a pedal and cafe-hop your way around the island. Or park up at a beach club that suits your vibe. Later: catch up with the gang at our final group dinner, and watch the sun set in paradise one last time.

Our trip leader was very friendly, helpful and knowledge. Everything was well organised. There were a couple of optional activities that were listed on the trip details that weren’t available when on the trip.
