Compiled by
MelissaBali travel expert at TourRadar
18 Days in Bali, incl. Ubud and Gili Islands
The 18-day Bali tour showcases ancient Uluwatu temples and Gili T's paradise beaches. Visit UNESCO-listed Goa Gajah, trek Sekumpul Waterfall, and enjoy 4 nights at beachside resorts. Package includes 23 meals and stays at 7 unique locations for approx. $110 per day.
- Days 1-2
Kuta & Uluwatu
Start your trip in Kuta, Bali's vibrant beach town. Visit the beautiful 1000-year-old Uluwatu Temple on the cliffs. Plan to arrive before 4 PM to beat the crowds. A recent visitor shared: "Watching the sunset at Uluwatu was magical, but bring a sarong to cover up and watch out for the cheeky monkeys who love stealing sunglasses!"
- Days 3-4
Canggu Beach Life
Drive 45 minutes to relaxed Canggu. Book morning surf lessons - the sandy bottom and gentle waves work great for beginners. Visit Tanah Lot Temple about 90 minutes before sunset for the best photos without crowds. Stop by The Lawn for sunset drinks in Canggu's more relaxed beach club scene.
- Days 5-6
Nusa Lembongan
Take the 30-minute fast boat from Sanur. Start with an early morning mangrove SUP tour before the wind picks up. Spend time at beautiful Dream Beach but stay in the marked swimming areas due to strong currents. Visit Devil's Tear for sunset but keep a safe distance from the edge.
- Days 7-10
Ubud Culture
Stay in central Ubud for easy temple access. Visit the Monkey Forest right when it opens at 8 AM. Join a local cooking class - as one traveler said: "Learning to make satay lilit from scratch while sitting in a traditional Balinese home was the highlight of my trip." Get to Tegalalang Rice Terraces before 9 AM for the best photos in soft morning light.
- Days 11-14
Gili Trawangan
Take the 2-hour fast boat from Padang Bai. Bring motion sickness pills if needed. Get around by bicycle since there are no cars on the island. Join morning snorkel trips for the best turtle spotting. Book rooms on the east side to wake up to Mt. Rinjani sunrises.
- Days 15-16
Mountain Retreat & Waterfalls
Explore Munduk's cooler mountain area. Plan about 2 hours for the Sekumpul Waterfall trek. Wear good hiking shoes for the slippery paths. If you're camping bring warm clothes - it gets cold at night.
- Days 17-18
Seminyak Finale
Wrap up in stylish Seminyak. The beach has bigger waves than Kuta but more space for walking at sunset. Stop by La Plancha beach bar for photos under their colorful umbrellas. Schedule your airport transfer outside rush hour (8-10 AM) to avoid traffic.
15 Day Bali & Lombok Itinerary, incl. Ubud and Gili Islands
A rich 15-day tour includes 14 breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 4 dinners across nine distinct Balinese destinations. Activities range from sunrise volcano hikes to sunset beach barbecues, all at approx. $150 per day.
- Days 1-2
Ubud
Start your Bali adventure in Ubud's cultural center. Take a morning walk through local rice fields and traditional villages to get your bearings. A previous visitor advised: "The morning village walks were perfect for adjusting to Bali time - bring good walking shoes as paths can get muddy after rain." Make sure to see the Kecak fire dance performance in the evening. Get there 30 minutes early to find the best spots.
- Day 3
Ubud to Undisan
Go on a downhill bike tour through Ubud's quiet backroads and villages (3-4 hours). You'll see hidden temples and beautiful rice terraces along the way. After lunch take a 1.5-hour trip to quiet Undisan village under Mt Agung. Bring light layers since it gets cool in the evenings.
- Days 4-5
Sibetan Village & Mt Batur
Get to know village life in Sibetan, famous for its salak fruit farms. Join locals for a cooking class to learn regional dishes. Head to the Mt Batur area to rest up for tomorrow's trek. Sleep early tonight since you'll need to wake up at 3 AM.
- Days 6-7
Mt Batur & Lovina
Start climbing Mt Batur before sunrise (2-3 hours up). A recent visitor shared: "The sunrise trek was challenging but absolutely worth it. Pack a headlamp and warm jacket - it's cold and dark at the start." Relax in hot springs afterward before going to Lovina. Spend the next day snorkeling at Menjangan Island's reefs and visiting local hot springs.
- Days 8-9
Sanur & Lombok Transfer
Take a 3-hour trip to Sanur with a stop at Gitgit waterfall. Catch the fast boat to Lombok (2 hours, rougher during wet season) and continue to Tetebatu in the hills. It's a full day of travel but you'll see beautiful scenery throughout.
- Days 10-12
Traditional Lombok
Experience Sasak culture through village walks, farming demonstrations and local crafts. Visit the women's pottery workshops in Masbagik. Travel to quiet Labuhan Pandan for excellent snorkeling and beach time. One traveler mentioned: "The east coast feels wonderfully untouched - we had pristine beaches almost to ourselves."
- Days 13-15
Senaru & Gili Air
Check out Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls near Senaru (water shoes help on slippery paths). Take a boat to Gili Air for your final days of island relaxation. Go snorkeling right off the beach. Look for sea turtles in the morning when the water is calmest.
16 Day Indonesia Itinerary, incl. Java and Bali
A 16-day Bali tour covers sacred temples, traditional villages, and coastal retreats. Starting from Ubud's cultural heart to Lovina's dolphin-watching shores, ending with 6 relaxing days in Sanur. Visit Besakih Temple, Tenganan Bali Aga village, and Jatiluwih's rice terraces.
- Days 1-2
Yogyakarta
Start your Indonesian adventure in Yogyakarta, the cultural core of Java. After getting settled on day one, explore the bustling Beringharjo Market on your second day. Get there before 10 AM to avoid crowds and heat. You can walk to both the historic Benteng Vredeburg fortress and Sultan's Palace from here. The palace grounds are large, so wear good walking shoes.
- Days 3-4
Temples of Java
Get up early at 5:30 AM for a stunning sunrise at Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. You'll get great photos in the morning light and avoid the midday crowds. Take a morning horse-drawn carriage or bike ride through Candirejo village to stay cool. Visit Prambanan's Hindu temples at sunset when the stones take on a beautiful golden color.
- Day 5
Ubud Transition
Take a morning flight from Yogyakarta to Denpasar (about 1.5 hours) to avoid afternoon traffic in Bali. The drive to Ubud takes another 1.5 hours. Spend the rest of the day walking around Ubud's center.
- Days 6-7
Cultural Ubud
Visit the Sacred Monkey Forest early before the tour buses arrive. Watch your belongings - the monkeys like to grab things! Spend your afternoon at Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and browsing local art markets. The UNESCO rice terraces at Jatiluwih are beautiful but bring good shoes as the paths can get slippery.
- Day 8
Northern Bali
Bundle up for the 5:30 AM dolphin watching tour in Lovina - the morning air can be cool on the boat. Drive to Kintamani for great views of Mount Batur. In the afternoon, visit Besakih Temple. Don't forget your sarong - you need one to enter.

East Bali & Transition
Visit Tenganan village and the Kertagosa courthouse. Bring binoculars to see the detailed ceiling murals at the courthouse before heading to Sanur.
- Days 11-15
Sanur Beach

What people love about 3-week Bali tours
- Backpacking Bali (18 days)
Absolutely thrilled with my Backpacking Bali adventure! The sights, the sounds, and the people were unforgettable. Our tour guide, Supry, was a gem – always eager to assist and with stories that made every location come alive. We visited places that weren't on the typical tourist path which gave us a real taste of the culture. Everyone on the tour was so friendly; it felt like travelling with a group of friends rather than strangers. I’ve come back home with tons of photos and even more memories. Can't wait for my next trip with them, perhaps Thailand next!
- Epic Indonesia 19 Days
Fantastic group leader, well organised transport and activities. Lots of free time to explore on your own outside of group experiences.
- Bali Experience 15 Day
This was my first travelling experience which is why I booked through Intro Travel to ensure I didn’t have to stress about organising everything. I met some amazing people and went to some really incredible places around Bali - one of my favourite places being Nusa Lembongan, which is the extra location you go to on the 15 day tour. Having said this, for the extra 3 days you pay for there’s only really one day of activities (snorkeling with manta rays). The it would have been better to have done something else while on the island. The activities we did were great but I definitely feel that more activities could be included, you have a lot of spare time (especially on travel days) which you could fit more into. For example, a few of us paid extra to do paddle boarding in Gili T which would have made sense to be included. Also, the Bali swing feels like a HUGE opportunity that Intro Travel have missed out on as its not far from a Ubud. Most of the accommodation was really nice and the locations were insane but a couple of the hotel rooms were a bit naff. The hotels in Canggu and Nusa Lembongan were my favourites by a mile. We didn’t get to stay in the villa which was within the itinerary so that was disappointing as I was really looking forward to this accommodation! The meals that were included were decent and we went to some really nice restaurants but it would have been nice to have had more included and for a soft drink to be included in those meals too. Morgan was a great tour leader - was always willing to help and was a good laugh, especially on a night out! Overall, I did really enjoy the tour and would love to come back to Bali for another adventure!!
