Bali & Lombok Adventure (from Ubud to Gili Air)

Tell anyone to picture paradise, and the beaches of Bali and Lombok will likely pop into their minds. Experience it for yourself on this 15-day adventure through the Islands of Indonesia and see why Bali and Lombok are favourites among travellers – it might have something to do with the blend of beaches, great food and rich cultures. Feel rejuvenated as you walk, hike, cycle, snorkel and swim through the islands and surrounding seas. Both these gorgeous islands are famous for their beauty and welcoming spirit, which you’ll encounter at every turn. A good level of fitness is essential, as there are a range of physical activities included (cycling from Ubud, hiking Mt Batur, village walks and hikes in Lombok and two snorkelling trips).There is one very early start – your sunrise climb of Mt Batur kicks off at 3 am. This means you'll be walking over some gravel and volcanic rock in the dark. Head torches, warm clothing and good walking shoes are a must. The view at sunrise is well worth the effort, especially if the weather's fine!Bali and Lombok are blessed with fairly consistent temperatures year round, however the rainy season is usually from October through to March. During this time there are generally frequent downpours, although generally these do not last long and the temperatures are usually still warmThere are two included snorkelling trips - for confident swimmers this is a great chance to see the sea life.Lombok is more conservative than its Balinese neighbour. Particularly in smaller towns and during village walks, it is best to dress conservatively.This trip is a combination of the TISA and TISM trips.
