When you arrive on the shores of Bali you will be overwhelmed by her breathtaking beauty and her magical people. Bali and its varied landscapes is a must see destination. We have designed this tour especially for women wanting a relaxing holiday spiced with adventure. We begin our tour with 2 nights in Sanur history tells us that the kings throughout Bali would come to this special place to meditate and pray. Experience the peace and tranquility during our stay at Griya Santrian. Sanur beach is much quieter than the busy tourist resorts of Kuta and Legion. We will be staying in Balinese designed accommodation providing us with the finest comfort one can expect, close to the beach and surrounded by tropical gardens. We will visit local Gallery’s, the Bali Safari Marine Park were we will navigate through rugged jungle terrain in our Safari Exploration Truck. Be amazed as you watch over 50 different animal species in their natural habitat ranging from Asia’s rainforest to African savanna, you will even be rewarded with feeding of the white tigers cubs. Time as well to relax on the beach or pamper yourself with beauty treatments. From Sanur we travel to the mountain retreat of “Ubud” where we will stay for the next 5 nights.
Nestled in the village of Penestanan, Ubud, you will discover “The Secret Garden” a cozy boutique resort engulfed in tropical gardens, fish ponds, trickling fountains and towering coconut palms. Situated 1.5 km from the town of Ubud, Bali’s Cultural Heart and perfectly situated to explore other parts of Bali on pleasant ½ day trips. Our mornings will be spent seeking adventure activities, such as an optional trek to Mount Batur Volcano a spectacular active volcano. We will be accompanied by experienced tour guides who will explain the diverse climate and vegetation whilst enjoying the quietness of this remote area and rare views of Lake Batur and the Indian Ocean. If you do not wish to trek the Volcano there is an optional easier walk near the lake. We will also visit Penekolkan the best location to enjoy the scenery of the beautiful Batur Lake. On this tour we will incorporate a visit to Batuan’s impressive village temples, Mas, village of artistic woodcarvings and Ubud the home of painters. One full day will be spent visiting the village of Muntigunung situated high in the mountains and on the slopes of the holy Gunung Agung. We have chosen a moderate route which begins at the lakeside village of Songan and from here we trek through wild vegetation to the villages nestled along the hillside. Accompanied by an experienced local guide and villagers, we will enjoy a part of this island that most Balinese don’t even know about. You will be touched by these people who have a less privileged life than our own. Proceeds from our visit will help support these people by providing such commodities as a water catchment systems and improved living conditions which will enable these people to generate sustainable income.
Don’t despair it is not all adventure and exhaustion our afternoons will be free to treat and indulge ourselves to soothing bliss at the resort Spa. During our stay in Ubud we will deepen our understanding of the indigenous culture by enjoying a full day of Balinese Cooking Class and finishing off the evening with a Balinese Feast and a local Balinese Cultural Performance. Our last 2 nights will be spent in Seminyak the heart of the boutique shops, and the following days are yours free to shop, swim in the ocean, relax on the sandy white beach or indulge in more body pampering before sadly departing for our flight home. Whatever your pleasure everything you do on this Bali tour will be a reward to yourself and an enjoyable and unforgettable holiday.
