15 Day Bali and Top End Adventure

When you land in Bali after your long flight we’ll be at the airport to meet you and take you to the hotel. You’ll have plenty of time to recover from your flight, chill out and meet everyone in your group.

Experience the beautiful culture of Bali as we visit amazing ancient temples, experience a Bahasa language lesson and learn to make a Canang Sari (local offering). We’ll then soak up a stunning sunset at a beach club and prepare for a night out!

Today we’ll hit the beach and be taught how to surf by local Balinese surf dudes in one of the world’s most famous surf destinations.

Our destination today is the relatively unknown natural wonder of Lovina, an untouched paradise of stunning rice paddies and fascinating culture. On our way, we’ll visit fascinating temples, epic waterfalls and see beautiful rice paddies. We’ll then arrive at our stunning and unique accommodation set high in the mountains surrounded by rice paddies and overlooking the ocean.

After a delicious beach breakfast, we jump on a traditional Balinese outrigger boat and cruise the beautiful coastline spotting wild dolphins. We’ll then visit a local family, where you’ll get a hands-on experience of basket weaving, coffee production and learn about traditional Balinese life, before heading back to chill in the infinity pool of our villa!

We’ll travel by fast ferry to the stunning island of Gili T – a beautiful tropical island with white sands and turquoise water. That afternoon you’ll have some free time to relax, enjoy the island and work on your tan. At night we’ll head out to experience some island nightlife!

As Gili T has no motorised vehicles we explore the island by bicycle today, relaxing on some white sandy beaches and taking in a stunning sunset!

We’ll travel by boat around all three beautiful Gili Islands, snorkelling in crystal clear water with a good chance of spotting some turtles.

Today you’ll make your way back to Bali by ferry and onto the fascinating and cultural town of Ubud.

Your 9 Day Bali Intro group tour ends in Gili T today – your independent transport is included all the way to your hotel in Ubud.

Start your adventure by departing from Darwin and heading out to the Mary River Wetlands region onboard the Corroboree Billabong Wetland Cruise. A great opportunity to spot a huge range of Top End birdlife, not to mention some apex predators… crocodiles! We journey on to Kakadu National Park visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre which offers a beautiful introduction to the Park’s landscape and wildlife. After some relaxation at camp, we will journey north to *Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. We will visit one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal rock art in the world at Ubirr rock upon sunset. This incredibly significant site showcases many styles of rock art and allows us to climb up high for a sunset that will blow you away looking out over the Nadab Floodplain. After a big day, we head back to our cozy private camp and prepare dinner together, enjoying an evening with our fellow travellers.

We rise and shine early on day 2 and make our way south in Kakadu National Park. Today we’ll spend the day soaking up the spectacular natural beauty of the area, hiking through lush monsoon rainforests, and swimming in pristine plunge pools and waterfalls surrounded by steep escarpments and rocky cliffs. We aim to visit one or more of the available waterfalls depending on the group’s physical ability to complete the hike(s). This can include any of the following: Motor Car Falls, Moline Rockhole, Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), or Jim Jim Falls. There are many factors affecting accessibility although your guide will ensure you get the best experience possible. Time permitting, we stop at Burrungkuy (Nourlangie Rock), another indigenous rock art site where archaeologists have uncovered works dating back over 20,000 years old. We explore the evolving social, cultural and environmental changes to the area over time before making our way back to camp for a hearty dinner and a well-earned rest.

An exciting day awaits as we head out of Kakadu National Park and travel towards Litchfield National Park. We will spend the afternoon immersed in Litchfield’s natural oasis of waterfalls, spring-fed streams and rugged sandstone escarpments. We’ll spend time in any combination of Buley Rockholes, Wangi Falls or Florence Falls for a refreshing soak in picturesque rock holes and waterfalls. Discover the uniquely impressive Magnetic and Cathedral Termite Mounds before making our way back to Darwin, arriving back at your accommodation at approximately 7:00pm.
