Ubud, Bali
Bali's cultural capital is a
magnet for travelers and
adventurers from across the
globe.
We work with a range of hotels, villas and guesthouses in Bali to
provide accommodation that is conveniently located to access our
workshops.Excursions
A selection of some of the excursions we offer
Mountain biking
There are great mountain biking opportunities for riders of all
levels and abilities.
Trekking
Bali offers rugged mountain treks including guided sunrise treks up a
dormant volcano.Rafting Rafting is a fantastic team bonding experience. Exploring Bali by raft allows visitors to see a completely new side of the island. Our trip travels along the Ayung River, which is the longest river on the island of Bali. It runs 68.5 km from the northern mountain ranges, allowing you the chance to explore little known valleys and cascading waterfalls. Traveling through Bali's interior by boat is always a highly rated activity that's perfect for beginners but still fun for more experienced rafters. And nature spotters will be in their element. Pay close attention and you may even catch a glimpse of a Blue Javan Kingfisher (right). Participants are accompanied by one professional river rafting guide. The experienced guide knows every detail of the Ayung river and its inhabitants.
Secret beaches of Bali Beyond the popular surf beaches of Kuta and Canggu are a string of lesser known beaches popular with snorkelers and sun seekers. Our one day trip takes in two of the best beaches in beautiful East Bali allowing you the chance to snorkel with tropical fish and swim on uncrowded beaches.
