About this trip

This self-guided version of INTRO Travel's popular 15-day Bali Experience takes you island-hopping across Bali's most iconic destinations — Seminyak, Uluwatu, Lovina, Gili Trawangan, Ubud, and Nusa Lembongan — at a fraction of the group tour price. Replace the guided minibus with local bemos, shared shuttles, and fast boats; swap the tour leader for GetYourGuide-bookable day trips and cooking classes; and bunk in quality hostels and guesthouses throughout. All the same sunrises, surf lessons, snorkelling with turtles, and volcano treks — just on your own schedule. Costs below are approximate estimates per person based on budget/backpacker rates.
