Watch the sun rise over volcanic peaks and the spires of Pura Besakih. From pristine beaches and temples surrounded by jungle, Bali is a land loaded with cultural and natural highlights. With your accommodation and transport arranged by CEOs, this well packed adventure offers up the perfect blend of the island’s highlights and free time to get off the beaten path—where the people on the beach are just as likely to be fishermen as other travellers. With its excellent food, artists and an island steeped in culture, Bali is truly an unforgettable experience.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive Sanur: Travelers will be arriving at different times during the day so feel free to arrive at the joining point at any time as there are no planned activities, apart from our group meeting at 6pm and an optional dinner afterwards.
Day 2: Bedugal/Munduk (B,D): Our drive today ascends from the lowlands through rice fields, villages then lush tropical jungle and we get the chance to stop at the Angseri Hot Springs to bathe in therapeutic waters surrounded by natures beauty (approx 2.5 hrs). Following this we continue upwards for another 30 minute drive over the mountains and into the caldera surrounding the town of Bedugal. Surrounded by serene crater lakes and majestic mountains over 2,000 metres tall, we spend the afternoon exploring the sights including the Ulun Danu Temple Complex, founded in the 17th century by the King of Mengwi and dedicated to the gods of the lakes, before continuing to our overnight stop at Munduk.

At 813 meters above sea level, the village of Munduk is surrounded by coffee plantations and boasts a temperate climate, much cooler than the beach areas. Tonight we get to experience true Balinese hospitality with a local dinner.
Day 3: Kintamani (B): Leaving Munduk this morning we travel along small local mountain roads winding through jungle and terraced rice paddies, pausing at Blantih Village to see how traditional coffee is made. Our next stop is Tampaksiring for the chance to visit Tirta Empul Temple with its bubbling spring said to hold magical curative powers.

Our final destination today is Kintamani, perched 1500 meters above sea level on the edge of a crater overlooking Lake Batur with Mount Batur towering above. You may need warmer clothes here as the temperature is often much cooler then the coastal regions. Take a wander through town and mix with the locals, visit the market and marvel at the variety of local produce for sale.
Day 4: Candidasa (B): This morning we have the option of a 2 hour guided hike up Mt Batur to view this active volcano and the panoramic views of Bali spread out below. Following this a visit to the 22 temples that make up the 14th Century Besakih Temple complex, the preeminent Hindu Temple in Bali. Over 70 festivals are held here each year so don't be surprised to be caught up in one of these amazing events. Lava flows from the devastating 1963 eruption of Mt Agung narrowly missed the temple adding divine mystery to the location. A short drive then takes us back down to our resort on the coast and to the legendary beaches of Candidasa for a swim and some time to relax.
Day 5-6: Nusa Lembongan (Jungutbatu) (2B): 12 kilometers off the South East Coast of Bali lies the gorgeous island of Nusa Lembongan. Following a 45 minute drive to the pier at Sanur this morning we board our ferry for the 90 minute trip to our home for the next 2 nights. Famous for its crystal clear waters, legendary diving, swimming and surfing Nusa Lembongan makes the perfect island getaway.

During our stay we will take a walk through the extensive mangrove forests on the eastern side of the island and learn about these incredibly important ecosystems and their role as habitats for a huge variety of species, protectors of the land mass and filtration systems for maintaining the purity of our oceans.
Day 7: Ubud (B): We return to mainland Bali this morning and continue by road 3 hours to the cultural and artistic heart of Bali, the town of Ubud. Along the way we visit Monkey Forest so keep your valuables close as these cheeky creatures are bound to grab anything that isn't nailed down.

Surrounded by scenic rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples and palaces it's easy to see why Ubud has inspired painters, sculptors, poets, musicians and writers from all over the world. You too will be inspired by the laid back way of life, the beauty and the scenic splendor that is Ubud.

Perhaps it's time to refine you culinary skills with an optional Balinese Cooking Tour. This evening we have the option to enjoy a display of traditional Kecak dance or maybe try Gianyr night market for some local cuisine.
Day 8: Departure Day (B): Feel free to depart at any time today.
