The great thing about Bali is it’s usually quite hot all year round, so it’s great to go at any time. There are generally 2 broad seasons in Bali. April to September is usually dry and hot. October to March is slightly cooler with a slightly higher chance of rain, but this rain is often only for an hour or so, which can be a nice relief from the heat.
This trip features a more premium standard of accommodation of approx. 4 star standard, whilst also including a slightly more rural experience up close and personal with nature in bungalows in the mountains of Lovina
Journey times in Bali are very dependent on the traffic and subject to change at any moment due to the small roads nestled between rice paddies, volcanic mountain ranges and bustling cities. 30km distances may take up to 2 hours in our minibus. Bringing a neck pillow might make your journey more comfortable
Indonesia is home to delicious authentic local foods such as Nasi/Mie Goreng and Babi Guling however western food is available throughout the trip. Due to the organic way food is produced in Indonesia, without the use of chemicals, you may be exposed to bacteria your body is not use to and have a usually mild but possibly uncomfortable digestive reaction. There is generally no need to worry, and your group leader will be able to advise you on the best treatment. Any issues usually last no more than 24-48 hours.
Bali Experience is the upgraded version of Bali Intro. Similar itinerary but with some exclusive activities, more meals and upgraded accommodation.

IMPORTANT: We cannot apply for your visa for you and strongly recommend that you check on the relevant embassy or consulate website for the country/s you’ll be travelling to well in advance of your departure, as requirements can change and some countries require you to apply for a visa before you travel.

What should I pack for my tour?

What if I'm travelling solo?
If you're struggling to convince your friends to join you on an adventure, you're not alone!
Travelling solo on a group tour can be one of the most exciting ways to experience a new destination, and you won't have to wait around for your mates to be ready. You leave yourself open to meeting amazing people, making new friends, and can keep yourself and your onward travel plans flexible.
The majority of our group members are solo travellers, so joining one of our group tours is a great way to meet people and make friends. Before your trip starts we'll put you in touch with the rest of your group so you can start chatting and get to know each other. And after the trip a lot of people continue travelling with the new friends they've made!
What if I'm travelling with a friend/s or partner?
Once you’ve made a booking just let us know who you’re travelling with and we can make a note that you are travelling together, and can put you in the same room.
A big part of the INTRO Travel difference is our after-trip support. Your group leader will spend enough time as needed to ensure you are totally comfortable and confident with where you’re going next.
