Itinerary
Day 1: Jakarta
Arrive at any time.
For your first night out with the group and CEO, visit a local favourite Jakarta restaurant. Get to know your fellow travellers over drinks and local delicacies as you take in the bustling capital. Have a toast to new adventures and friends!
Day 2: Jakarta/Bandung
Ride to Bandung and let the scenery guide you to some serenity. Tea plantations, waterfalls, and hot springs —this side of paradise is looking mighty fine.
Day 3: Bandung
Spend the day with your group Ciater Tea Plantation to learn how tea is made, then walk to a waterfall nearby and relax in the hot springs.
Day 4: Bandung/Yogyakarta
Watch the world go by on a scenic train ride to Yogyakarta. Once you arrive, and if you're not feeling too beat, check out Sosrowijayan and Prawirotaman Streets for unwinding with drinks and local eats.
Day 5-6: Yogyakarta
There's more to discover in Yogyakarta today! See some Javanese temples, bike to rice paddies on the outskirts of the city, try street food like gudeg (curry made from unripe jackfruit), or soak in the last rays of sun at the stunning Buddhist Borobudur temple complex — and make sure you don't forget your camera.
Day 7: Yogyakarta/Ngadas
Take the scenic route to Ngadas via private vehicle. Here, you'll spend the evening at a local G Adventures-supported community homestay.
Get a taste of local culture with a home-cooked dinner and time with a community leader to learn about the region's unique customs and history.
Day 8: Desa Ngadas/Bromo
Today's for reaching new heights. Start the day with a trek along the Ancestor Trail to Mt Bromo, led by a local guide trained through the G Adventures-supported capacity building program. Then get a chance to hike to the volcano's crater (and take some pictures!) before going on to the hotel.
Day 9: Bromo/Red Island
Skip sleeping in today for a pre-dawn hike across the Sea of Sand to Mt Bromo, where you can catch a final glimpse of the moon before the sunrise. Stop to breathe it all in before you head to a beachside surf camp.
On your way to Mt Bromo, catch a breath and see the local Buddhist Tenggerese giving offerings to the Supreme God Hyang Widi Wasa.
Day 10: Red Island
Wake up and catch a wave on a morning surf lesson, then take the rest of the day to explore the nearby fishing village, surf some more, or rest easy in a beachside hammock.
Day 11: Red Island/Pemuteran
Head back to Bali for a chill day of relaxing on the beach. Sit back, grab a drink, and soak up some sunshine. This is the place for it.
Day 12: Pemuteran
No need to say goodbye to the beach just yet — it's another day of chilling out in Bali. If you'd like, break up the beachside naps with a snorkelling trip.
Day 13: Pemuteran/Kuta
Take it easy this morning before we cross rich tropical jungle and idyllic rice fields on the ride to Kuta. Catch up on sleep on the drive over — you're going to need it for your big night out tonight. Spend the evening getting to know Legian Street, the legendary party street. Grab a drink on us and dance the night away!
Day 14: Kuta
Today, take it easy in beachside Kuta. Take a surf lesson (which you can book ahead of time), relax on the beach, or head to one of the nearby towns.
Tonight, take in the town's nightlife on the dancefloor or by the waves at a beachside bar.
Learn to surf by pre-booking the Half Day Surf Class extra when booking your tour.
Day 15: Kuta/Kubutambahan
It's off to Kubutambahan today. Breathe in the beautiful scenery before stopping for lunch en route at the G Adventures supported Bali Community Training Lunch Program. Tonight, soak in the views and lush jungle vibes at a charming guesthouse, located in a Balinese village. Start your night by watching the sunset over the lush landscape.
Day 16: Kubutambahan
Get ready to liven up your tastebuds with a Balinese cooking lesson. After, you can trek around the village, visit a waterfall, swim in a natural spring, or stop by a nearby dragon fruit farm.
Day 17: Kubutambahan/Ubud
This morning's free for you to explore or relax. Later, check out Ubud and visit the picturesque Gitgit Waterfall or Pura Taman Saraswati, a Balinese Hindu temple with stunning lotus ponds. Both spots are perfect for photo ops!
Day 18: Ubud
Today is full of possibilities. Stop by the monkey forest, a sanctuary for the long-tailed Balinese monkey, before checking out more of Ubud.
Take a yoga class, relax with a massage, try babi guling (whole roast suckling pig), visit the holy springs of Tirta Empul to cleanse your body and spirit, and be sure to save some room for some delicious healthy eats — they're abundant here. Tonight, wrap up your time in Ubud with a traditional Kecak dance performance.
Day 19: Ubud/Gili Trawangan
It's off to the beautifully laid-back island of Gili Trawangan today. Slow it all down with relaxing at a beachfront bar, stopping for photos at the Gili Trawangan swing, and — best of all — enjoying walking around freely (the island doesn't allow motorized vehicles). The rest of the day is yours to explore.
Day 20: Gili Trawangan
Spend another day in paradise. Explore the island by bicycle, or just kick back on the beach. Don't forget to catch your last marvelous sunset of the trip on the west side of the island, before celebrating the end of an amazing journey with your fellow travellers for your big night out.
Day 21: Gili Trawangan
Today, it's time to say goodbye to your group of newfound friends as the tour ends. Be sure to sneak in some last-minute photos and cheers before you head on your way.

Es war viel extra zu bezahlen und auch das vorgegebene Trinkgeld das zu zahlen war fand ich nicht in Ordnung, jeder sollte selbst so viel geben dŸrfen, wie man will. Die Zimmer waren nicht immer sauber und TŸren kaputt.

I think for the most part, the trip was well thought out and balanced. out of the 5 trips I've done, this one had the least amount of coach days which was nice.

G Adventures provides travellers with ease and structure to a holiday or structure for longer term travellers. I am very much the latter, where G Adventures gives me a period of time in which I can relax with admin and enjoy whatever activities have been planned (rather than thinking about what to do day in day out)
