Why this works

Bali is much bigger than people think! So most travellers stay in one spot and miss others. This itinerary lets you see it all so you can really experience everything Bali has to offer.
This itinerary balances must-sees with hidden gems. Surf in Canggu, enjoy crowd-free views of Nusa Penida, and discover Ubud’s true heart. Spend 2 days in Nusa Penida to experience its raw beauty, seen by only 1% of travellers.
This lets you see Bali, its people, and culture the way it’s meant to be experienced.
