Seminyak BALI

DAY 4 GILI TRAWANGAN. Free day for the win! Yay! Want to meet the locals? Join the optional diving and snorkelling tour to casually bump into turtles, rays and reef sharks. It really is another world under water, so you’re in for a real treat whether you decide to dive or scuba.

DAY 6 UBUD. First up today, we’ve got a treat for your eyes: a performance of the famous Barong and Kris Dance. Then it’s on to the Tirta Empul hot springs before we hit Kintamani – where you’ll lunch with views over Bali’s largest lake. Next it’s down to the Kopi Luwak plantation, and on past Tegalalang’s rice fields and coconut trees. In the afternoon, venture through the Ubud market and meet for dinner in a local restaurant. It’s our last dinner together tonight, so make the most of the time with your travel pals before saying goodbye tomorrow. (B,L,D)
