Itinerary


​DAY 1 SANUR - SOUTH BALI
Selamat Datang! Welcome to Bali – the Island of the Gods! You may also be asking yourself – where exactly is Bali? Well, it’s one small island and province that makes up the 34 provinces and over 17,508 islands of the country of Indonesia. Yes, Bali is famous the world-over for its gorgeous beaches, fantastic surf and fascinating cultures, yet for all its outside attention, the island still, almost magically, retains its cultural heritage, traditions, customs and way of life.
  • Detailed Orientation Meeting where you will get to know your fellow travelers and adventure leaders better as we discuss the adventure ahead and have our Introduction to Bali & Indonesia’s History, Cultures, Customs, Etiquette & Diversity Presentation.
  • First Taste of Indonesia vegan feast where we’ll be introduced (and enjoy) a delicious variety of island dishes from across the archipelago all specially veganized just for us.
  • Unwind with a 90-minute Traditional Balinese Massage therapy. Balinese Massage traces its origins back centuries as a form of natural healing adopting techniques from different cultures they came into contact with back in the day when Bali lied along the great spice trading routes of Asia. Balinese Massage is a combination of herbal aromatherapy, soft skin rolling, light stretching, gentles acupressure and reflexology.
  • Join a very talented Balinese classical dancer and teacher who will introduce us to the ancient tradition of Balinese dance. In addition to teaching us about the history, symbolism and forms of this cultural tradition, we’ll also learn some of its steps.

This practice is all part of the Balinese philosophy of keeping balance in life among people, nature, spirits, gods, good and evil.
