      Arrive in Sanur at any time. The nearest airport is Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), also known as Denpasar International Airport. Due to the potential for flight delays or cancellations, we recommend that you plan to arrive at least a day in advance. This will also give you time to adjust to the time difference and overcome any jet lag. We can book extra hotel nights for you in Sanur before and/or after the trip. Hotel Check-in and Welcome Meeting Please note that check-in at the hotel is usually around 2:00-3:00 p.m. There are no planned activities until an intro meeting around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m., usually in the hotel lobby. Check for a sign or ask at the reception desk about the exact time and location of the group meeting. Please make every effort to arrive in time for this meeting. If you are delayed and will arrive late, please inform us. Your tour leader will then leave you a message at the front desk informing you of where and when to meet up tomorrow. After the meeting, you might choose to get dinner at a nearby restaurant with your traveling companions and your tour leader to further get to know one another. Joining Instructions When arriving at Denpasar Airport in Bali, you will exit Customs into the arrival hall. Once here, there are money exchangers, but they do not offer the best rate, so it's best to wait until you arrive in Kuta. There are ATMs available that distribute Indonesian Rupiah (the local currency). Once you have stepped outside, there is a taxi stand with set rate taxis to various destinations on the island. The prices are listed on the wall and can be paid in Rupiah or US Dollars. Here, you book and pay for your taxi and receive a voucher. They will then show you to your taxi. The drive to Sanur is approximately 30 minutes but can take much longer if the traffic is bad. If you have paid in advance for an arrival transfer, a G Adventures representative will be at the airport to meet you. Our representative will stand at the meeting area of all travel/hotel representatives. It is located approximately 50 yards from the exit doors after luggage check. Our transfer representative will be waiting for you with a G Adventures sign board in hand. If for any reason you are not met at the airport, please call our local support line listed in the emergency contacts section below. If you are unable to make contact for whatever reason, please make your way to the joining point hotel via taxi. Accommodation: Swiss-Belresort Watu Jimbar (or similar) * For the actual hotel your specific departure will be using, please check your voucher.

      Start the day off with a 2.5-hour drive to the UNESCO-protected Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. Stop to enjoy the view as you trek around the area and, hopefully, spot some buffalo. We will then drive another 1.5 hours to the Ulun Danu Temple Complex. This floating temple founded by the King of Mengwi in the 17th century is one of Bali’s most important and photographed temples. After another half an hour drive we will arrive at our guesthouse in Munduk where we will enjoy some delicious Balinese cuisine for dinner. Approximate travel time: 3.5 to 4.5 by private vehicle Accommodation: Munduk Sari Garden Villa Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner

      Drive through lush rice fields and winding mountain roads. We arrive in Kintamani with its breathtaking views of Lake Batur and the Batur crater. Take a wander through town and mix with the locals, visit the market, and marvel at the variety of local produce for sale. We will then visit a local hot spring where we can relax in warm mineral waters to soothe tired muscles and ease worries away. You also will have time to walk to a nearby waterfall. Approximate travel time: 2.5 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Lake View Hotel (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      You will have the option of waking up early for a two-hour hike to the top of Mt. Batur to watch the sunrise. Afterward, we drive to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. Enjoy lunch at the G Adventures-supported Bali Community Training Lunch Program. This initiative supports and assists people living with disabilities in Bali to find independence and meaningful employment through training in the hospitality sector. In Hindu-Bali, it is a societal belief that being born with a disability is a product of "bad karma". Our ground partners are working in the community to break down these stereotypes, and provide resources, training, and education to adults living with disabilities to gain independence and confidence, and find employment within their community. Fully managed and operated by individuals living with disabilities, enjoy a delicious traditional Balinese buffet lunch prepared by the organization while learning more about this initiative that empowers individuals through skills and employment training. All proceeds from this included lunch support the organization's training, education, advocacy, and outreach programs, as well as resources such as wheelchairs and three-wheeled mopeds. Afterward, we will have an orientation walk followed by a free afternoon. You have many options, such as taking a Balinese cooking class or, if you want ready-made food, go to the Gianyar night market for local eats. Yoga classes are not hard to find or opt for a relaxing massage. You can also go to the nearby Monkey Forest. Approximate travel time: 1-2 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Best Western Premier Agung Resort (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch

      Enjoy a free day to explore exactly what interests you in Ubud. Opt to visit the Monkey Forest, numerous temples, rice paddies, and markets. See our optional activity list further below for more details. Your tour leader can help you arrange these activities. In the evening, opt to take in a traditional Kecak dance performance. Accommodation: Best Western Premier Agung Resort (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      This morning we will explore the scenic site of Kerta Gosa, the ancient court of justice. Learn more about local history and check out the pavilion's elaborate ceiling paintings. We will then drive to Candi Dasa where you will have a free afternoon to explore the coast and legendary white sandy beaches. This is also the place for a massage, a yoga class, and diving. If you want history, go to the Tirta Gangga temple. Approximate travel time: 1.5-2 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Ramayana Candidasa (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      Continue exploring or relaxing on the beach—the choice is yours. See our optional activities list further below to see some of the options. Accommodation: Ramayana Candidasa (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      This morning, travel by local ferry to Lombok. Upon arriving at the shores of Lombok, head to a traditional Sasak village. Meet the local farmers and weavers and learn more about their unique culture and way of life. Listen to the history of the community as you wander the paths between the traditional homes. Then, continue to Kuta for the night. Accommodation: Puri Rinjani Bungalow (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast Approximate travel time: 6 hrs by ferry, 1.5 hrs by private vehicle

      Enjoy a full day exploring the area around Kuta. Opt for a surf lesson at scenic Seger Beach or visit some of the other beautiful beaches nearby. Accommodation: Puri Rinjani Bungalow (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

Opt for a buffet lunch in the Tetebatu community before continuing to the slopes of the Rinjani Volcano. At Batukliang at the base of the volcano, hike to the secluded Benang Kelambu Waterfall and take a dip in the deep pool. Continue to Senggigi for the night. Accommodation: Puri Saron Hotel Senggigi Beach (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast Approximate travel time: 5-5.5 hrs by private vehicle (with stops)

      This morning, travel by ferry to the stunning Gili Islands and enjoy a half-day snorkeling trip. Grab a mask (snorkeling gear provided) and swim among the tropical fish, and—if you're lucky—spot a sea turtle! Settle in for two nights on the islands. The Gilis are a paradise with a tiny population, no cars, and gorgeous white-sand beaches. Please note there is limited fresh water on the Gilis and electricity is supplied by generators. Showers often use desalinated salt water, and rooms are typically fan-cooled (no air conditioning). Accommodation: Hotel Vila Ombak (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast Approximate travel time: 45 mins by private vehicle, 30 mins by ferry

      Today is free for exploring to Gilis. Opt to rent a bike and cycle around the island, visit the shopping area, or try some yoga. Get active or just chill out—the choice is yours! Accommodation: Hotel Vila Ombak (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      Travel back to Bali by boat for a final dinner and farewells in Sanur, reflecting on the adventure under a beautiful Balinese sunset. Accommodation: Swastika Bungalow (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      There are no planned activities today, so you may depart Sanur at any time. If you wish to extend your stay in Sanur, consider booking post-tour accommodation with us. Please note that check-out time from the hotel is usually mid-morning, but luggage storage services are available at the reception desk. Want more adventure? Book two or more GEEO programs in the same school year and receive a discount! GEEO will give you 10% off of the lesser value program(s) (up to 3 programs per year).

Their tours are open to the general public and not designed specifically for educators, but we can still offer you and your travel companions a discounted educator price on any additional tours that you book. Meals included: Breakfast


      *Itinerary Disclaimer: While it is our intention to adhere to the routes described on our website, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable, to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The information on our website is a general guide to the tour and region, and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.

      Details

      Frequently Asked Questions
      Please click here to go to our general FAQ, which has essential information that applies to all of our programs.
      Resources to Learn & Teach about Bali
      Visit our recommended reading page to see the list of books GEEO recommends reading before your program (this is not required reading). We also have lesson plans and Pinterest boards that may be useful for you as you learn about your destination and prepare to bring lessons back to your classroom.
      Terms and Conditions
      It is very important for you to visit our Terms and Conditions page before signing up for this program.
      GEEO Program Confirmation Process
      We require a minimum of 6 participants for most GEEO programs. We officially confirm that a program will run once at least 8 people have signed up, which provides a margin for individual cancellations. Nearly all GEEO programs ultimately meet this enrollment quota, and in the rare event that a program does not meet the minimum requirement and GEEO cancels the program, we will work with you to find a suitable alternative or provide a refund of your deposit if you prefer. We encourage you to sign up for any program that interests you, and we will notify the entire group once 6 people are booked and again once 8 people are booked. We always emphasize the importance of exercising caution when making non-refundable travel arrangements, especially given the unpredictable nature of travel. For example, we typically recommend booking flights with flexible change/cancellation policies.
      Cancellation policy
      All cancellations must be submitted to GEEO in written form by emailing your request for cancellation to travel@geeo.org. If you do not receive a confirmation that we have received your written cancellation request, please call us at 1-877-600-0105. Verbal cancellation requests will not be honored.
      • If you cancel 60 days or more prior to the start of your program, all your program fee payments will be refunded excluding your $350 deposit, which is kept on file for future use and never expires. (Exception for participants who receive grants from our university partners: To address disruption caused by cancellation from grant recipients, deposits paid by grant recipients are forfeited upon cancellation.)
      • If you cancel between 30 and 59 days prior to the start of your program, you will receive a 50% refund and your deposit will be kept on file for future use and will never expire.
      • If you cancel within 30 days prior to the start of your program, you will receive no refund, but your deposit will be kept on file for future use and will never expire.
      Trip Notes
      1. Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travelers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of people in the sex trade is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our tour leaders have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they utilize the services of paid sex workers, in any capacity.
      2. We have upgraded all of the hotels for this program other than the first night in Sanur. We feel this trip is still affordable even after upgrading the hotels and this way you can have some extra comfort. This is the reason our version of this trip is more expensive than the version our partner tour operator offers in their catalog. If you want the less expensive version of this trip, please let us know and we can book you on a G Adventures, "non-teacher specific" departure that has not been upgraded.
      Group Leader Description
      All GEEO/G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of G Adventure's group leaders, which they refer to as Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are traveling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues, and introduce you to our local friends. Our itineraries often have plenty of free time to explore on your own. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it’s the best of both worlds.
      Fitness Level
      This trip should be appropriate for most travelers. There is light walking and hiking suitable for most fitness levels and nothing too challenging.
      Single Travelers
      Half of GEEO’s participants travel by themselves, so please don’t worry if you do not have a travel companion for your trip. Our program fee is for one traveler in double-occupancy accommodation, and GEEO can find you a roommate of the same gender if you do not have a travel companion. Most of our programs have a “My Own Room” option, also known as a “Single Supplement,” which is an extra fee that you can pay to have a room to yourself. You will only incur an additional charge if you specifically request a single room. To see the price for the “My Own Room” option, please find your program on our extra services page. If you want to room alone, please email travel@geeo.org to request a single room.
      Emergency Contacts
      Should you need to contact G Adventures during a situation of dire need, it is best to first call their local G Adventures office. If for any reason you do not receive an immediate answer, please leave a detailed message and contact information so they may return your call and assist you as soon as possible. If your call is specifically concerning Denpasar (Bali) Airport Transfer complications, please call the local transfer provider directly at +62 8113803820, +62 8113803821, or +62 81337618480.

      Packing List
      Please read this article on GEEO’s blog for our staff’s suggestions on the best gear to pack for your upcoming travels. You must be prepared to carry your own bags and be comfortable carrying them up and down stairs, on and off transportation, and to hotels. As a rule, we try not to have to walk more than 15-20 minutes with your bags, which is why we recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 22-30 lb. Most travelers carry a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size. No XXL bags please! A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person plus a daypack per person. Suggested Checklist

      Laundry

      Passports and Visas
      All GEEO programs require that the participant have a valid passport. Please see our general FAQ for information on obtaining a passport. As with all of our trips, we try to provide the most accurate information we can, but governments sometimes change visa rules. It is your responsibility to double check the information we provide below by searching here. A 30-day visa on arrival is available at Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta Airport) and Bali (Ngurah Rai Aiport). The cost is 500,000 IDR ($35 USD). All travelers to Indonesia must be in possession of a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, have at least 2 blank passport pages, and have proof (tickets) of onward or return passage. Effective February 14, 2024, visitors to Bali are required to pay a Tourist Levy of 150,000 IDR ($10 USD). The fee can be paid online through the “Love Bali" system, which will provide you with a digital notification as proof of payment to be scanned by Bali Officials upon arrival to the island. US passport holders can learn more here. We strongly encourage all travelers to check with their embassy about entry requirements to Indonesia. The situation with visas in Indonesia changes frequently.
      Money Exchange
      The local currency in Indonesia is the rupiah (IDR). As currency exchange rates fluctuate, we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com. We recommend that you obtain cash from ATMs while traveling; they will dispense the local currency. We do, however, recommend that you bring at least $200 USD in cash for emergency use or in case you have trouble with the ATMs. Major credit cards are accepted in most shops, but you may be charged an international transaction fee; ask your financial institution about their international fees. Please note that if you are carrying U.S. dollars, the bills should be in good condition (i.e., not torn, wrinkled, or marked on in any way) and dated recently.
      Tipping
      It is customary in Asia to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected, though not compulsory, component of this program and an expression of satisfaction with the people who assist you on your trip. Tipping is also one of the most direct ways that you can have a positive economic impact within the local community. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. Your tour leader will offer to collect the money and distribute the money to service workers throughout your trip. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $1.5-3.5 USD per person per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your tour leader for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture. At the end of your program, if you felt your G Adventures tour leader did an outstanding job, a tip would be appreciated. The amount is entirely your personal preference, but as a guideline, $20-25 USD per person per week would be appropriate.
      Vaccinations
      GEEO cannot provide any medical advice, so it is very important to consult your doctor or a travel clinic about which vaccinations you will need for your trip. We recommend contacting Passport Health (http://www.passporthealthusa.com/), which has travel clinics located throughout the United States. You can also check the CDC's recommended vaccinations for your destination. Please take this seriously!
      Flights
      We find the best prices for flights are often available around 90-120 days before departure, but of course this varies greatly from route to route and year to year. You should wait until this trip is confirmed before you book non-refundable flights. GEEO and G Adventures bear no responsibility for any flights purchased before the trip is confirmed. You will fly in and out of Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport for this program. Please double-check our itinerary for the date by which you must arrive in Sanur, which is about a 30-minute drive from Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport. You may want to arrive in Bali one or more days early in case you have flight disruptions. You can arrive at any time you choose, but try to make it in time for our 6:00 p.m. Welcome Meeting on Day 1. You can depart Bali any time on the final day of the program, or stay longer to see more of the island. The program ends in Sanur.
      Plugs and Converters
      There are two components to provide external power to your device: adapters and transformers (also called electrical converters). The adapter is for your device's plug, adapting the prongs on a standard U.S. two- to three-pronged power cord to fit the local outlets. The transformer/converter changes the local voltage to the voltage used in the U.S. Indonesia uses a European-style Type C and Type F plugs with two circular prongs, and the voltage is 230V. (Standard U.S. electrical outlets are 120V.) Most new devices, including phones and laptops, are made to work with the different voltage rates, but some devices, like hair dryers, may only work on the U.S. standard of 120V. Check your device's plug or manual to see what voltage range it requires. Most transformer blocks will have an “Input” line that defines its voltage capacity; for example, “Input: 100-240V” means that it will work with voltages between 100V to 240V. If your device can’t handle the higher voltage, you’ll need to purchase a transformer/converter. You can find world transformers/converters online or at many retail stores in the travel section.
      Expectations
      Before you decide to travel with GEEO, it is important that you read all of the information about the program you are considering. Remember, our programs are quite adventurous.
      • The purpose of the accommodation is to provide a safe, well-located place for you to sleep. Sometimes you will be pleasantly surprised, but do not expect luxury, however, as our priority is keeping our programs as affordable as possible.
      • We use a mix of transportation that gets our guests from location to location safely. Sometimes you will have full days and nights of transportation as our trips tend to cover a lot of ground. The transportation will often be an adventure in itself.
      • You must be able to easily carry or roll your luggage, so do not over-pack.
      • Many of our programs occur in locations where it is very hot during the day. Please make sure you have thoroughly read the itinerary and can handle the group activities, which sometime include day hikes with your daypacks.
      • We recommend always carrying snacks with you. Meals can sometimes be far apart.
      • Please make sure you understand the role of your tour leader on this trip, as they are not the traditional “guide” you may be expecting. While our trips are educational, they aren’t study/lecture trips. We want you to learn through exploring and much of your experience will be based on how active you choose to be in acquiring knowledge and interacting with locals.
      Hopefully this is the kind of adventure you are interested in!
      Weather
      Bali is only eight degrees north of the equator and has a tropical climate. The high temperatures don't change much through the year, although the Indonesian islands do have a distinct wet season that is brought in by the western monsoon from late October to April. July is in the dry season, and while you'll probably still see some rain, it is usually in short showers that leave fresh blue skies behind. Bali’s center is dominated by high mountains where you'll experience cooler temperatures and more rain. Things are warmer and drier the further away from the mountains you are, and you'll be warmest on the coast.
