Spend the day exploring Ubud's wilder side — from exotic animals to mischievous monkeys roaming a sacred forest.
Welcome to Gili Trawangan, the liveliest of the three Gili Islands. Snorkel with sea turtles, explore by bicycle, and unwind on a beach famous for its golden-hour glow.
A snorkelling day hopping between the Gilis, with a stop at Gili Meno's famous underwater sculpture park before relaxing on the quieter shores of Gili Air.
Cross to Lombok and begin exploring the island beyond the Gilis. A transition day with open road ahead.
