Ubud
3An early riser? If you can drag yourself out of bed, there's an optional trek up Mount Batur on the cards. You'll reach the top just in time to see the sunrise over the island. Cue: all the goosebumps. Return to the hotel in time for an included brekkie. Then, you'll have an entire day to explore more of Ubud. Get the lowdown on traditional Indonesian ink with an optional tattoo experience at a local studio. Or browse for souvenirs among Ubud's many boutiques before cooling off at an Insta-perfect café (try an iced Balinese coffee - you won't regret it). Later: keep the food theme rolling with an optional Indonesian cooking class.

Ubud – Manggis
4You don't want to skim the surface. You want to delve deeper. So today, we'll be heading to the Kaura Day Club - a STUNNING eco retreat in the unspoilt village Manggis. Fuel up with a delish lunch before we dive into an orientation tour. Meet the locals and find out about their numerous development initiatives. Learn how to craft a canang sari: a Balinese Hindu temple offering. Afterwards, you'll have some free time at Kaura. Pull up a sunbed by the beaut infinity pool or treat yourself to a massage. And later? We'll head to our next hotel where there's a Balinese dinner on the cards. Delish!

Manggis – Gili Trawangan (Gili Islands)
5Pack an overnight bag (we'll store your suitcase) and wave goodbye to Bali as we speedboat our way to the Gili Islands. 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 T's gorgeous beaches. Or relax and unwind with a beachfront massage. Later, there's an optional pub crawl on the cards. Think fruity cocktails and heaps of awesome prizes. It's gonna be LEGENDARY.

Gili Trawangan
6Head feeling a little sore after last night's antics? No drama - you've got the whole day to just do you. Need some suggestions? Snap on a snorkel or step into a glass bottom boat to see which awesome creatures live *in Sebastian's voice* under the sea. Or do your good deed for the day and help clear the ocean of rubbish on a stand-up paddleboard (the sea turtles salute you). Prefer to keep your feet on solid ground? Easy. Practice mindfulness at one of Gili T's many yoga studios. Go for a pedal and café-hop your way around the island. Or park up at a beach club that suits your vibe. 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 – Canggu
7Not an early bird? You'll wanna wake up for today's dreamy sunrise beach picnic (trust us). Once your belly's stuffed and your camera roll is full, we'll be making tracks back to Bali via speedboat. If it's sunny, claim a spot on the top deck, grab a cold one and soak up those rays. When you reach Canggu (your final stop *tries not to cry*), they'll be time to chill or take a last stroll along the sand. Later: catch up with the gang at our final group dinner, and watch the sun set in paradise one last time.
