This is an OUTSTANDING trip. Our leader Tantan was fantastic, knowledgeable and set the tone for an incredible holiday. This trip is the right mixture of sightseeing, cultural immersion, adventures in nature and physical activity. The optional activities allow you to pursue your own interests in the free time as you see fit, and are a great complement to the included activities. This is a great itinerary to see the highlights of Java and Bali and craft your own once in a lifetime experience!

Beautiful Bali , August 2016

Great tour for those that want to see more of Bali than just the beach. The included activities were amazing! Don't be afraid to travel solo! You probably won't be the only one and the entire group was so friendly. This tour is very on-the-go and active so would suggest spending some time in Bali after the tour ends to relax.

Great mix of included activity supported by a good tour guide. Enjoyed the Indonesian food although the breakfasts were sometimes quite ropey (but edible!)

A wonderful opportunity to experience the countryside and culture of Java plus a little time in Bali. The tour leader (Nova) was great and I thoroughly recommend the tour - go for longer if you can!

For my first trip with Intrepid the Beautiful Bali trip could not have been better. The island is beautiful, the food is great, and my group leader was awesome. Not only that, but the people in my group became family. Highly recommend this trip!

Discover Lombok , August 2016
Caitlin Patrick
I really enjoyed the Bali & Lombok Adventure trip. It was a good blend of structured activities and free time, and there wasn't too much time spent driving, which I really appreciated. The variety of activities offered are a good blend of cultural and physically active (but not particularly demanding). Definitely follow the advice to bring trainers and a head torch. If you're vegan (or like dairy), I'd recommend bringing a few small tetra-packs of dairy-free milk or UHT milk, because you're often limited to a small amount of tinned, condensed milk for teas, coffees etc. at hotels. Bringing additional healthy snacks like nuts, granola bars, a little jar of nut butter etc. is also recommended, as breakfasts are often a bit limited, particularly if you're vegetarian or vegan. Overall, a great experience though. The Balinese and Lombok people are kind and very helpful to foreigners, and we had many opportunities to interact with them and actually see daily life in urban and rural settings.

Great trip, really got to the heart of Lombok and ending with beautiful snorkelling on Gili. I thought it was the perfect mix for a short trip. The guide was fantastic, amazing!

This was our first big trip in over a decade and our first with Intrepid Travel. We had such a good experience that we changed the way we want to travel in the future and put more emphasis on culturally rich experiences.

This was our first overseas trip and we were very happy overall, the trip was great, guide was awesome, packed full of things to do but still a enough time to chill and do your own thing.
