Blissful Bali

Our 12-day trip in Bali runs, year-round, and this paradise island is the perfect place to escape the harsh winters of the northern hemisphere. Our tour blends the island’s serene relaxation culture with a healthy dose of outdoor adventure. You’ll hike Mount Batur at sunrise, snorkel with sea turtles of the Gili Islands and swim in Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, as well as visiting temples, experience traditional Balinese ceremonies and taking a cooking class. You’ll have plenty of time to wind down on the beach, at the pool or over a FlyHigh yoga session.
