Bali, for snorkelling with sea turtles and swimming in waterfalls

Bali is one of Asia’s ultimate bucket-list travel destinations, with delicious food, sacred temples, gorgeous beaches and pristine jungle galore. Climbing to the summit of Mount Batur offers awe-inspiring views of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest peak, from above the clouds, while the 40m (131ft) Banyumala Twin Waterfalls are an idyllic spot for a refreshing rainforest swim. If snorkelling is your thing, you’ll be swept away by the underwater beauty of the crystal waters around the Gili Islands, home to sea turtles and an abundance of other marine life. You can see and do all of that on this 12-day adventure, which also includes a high-flying yoga lesson and a Balinese cooking class in Ubud.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
