3 Day Best of Bali Arrival Package — Self-Launched
3 days · Bali
Mojosurf Indonesia charges £285
No-markup version: ~£132 per person
Estimate only, not a guaranteed price. Always verify costs independently before booking.
A self-launched version of Mojosurf Indonesia's 3-day Bali arrival package: land in Denpasar, base yourself in Canggu, day-trip to Ubud's Monkey Forest, Tegalalang rice terraces and Kintamani volcano views, then finish with a surf lesson before you fly on. Everything is bookable independently — airport transfer via Grab, a GetYourGuide/Klook Ubud day tour, a Canggu surf school, and a night or two in a Canggu hostel. Costs are rough per-person estimates in GBP.
Day-by-day
Arrival in Denpasar & transfer to Canggu
Canggu, Bali
Land at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) and head to Canggu. Rather than a private VIP transfer, book a Grab or Gojek car from the arrivals pick-up zone — roughly 45–60 minutes to Canggu depending on traffic. Check into a Canggu hostel or budget guesthouse near Batu Bolong / Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong (the area the original tour is based in), drop your bags and take a walk to Batu Bolong Beach for sunset. In the evening, eat at one of the cheap warungs (nasi campur or mie goreng for ~£2–3), then join travellers at the bars around Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong. Optional: book a traditional Balinese massage (~£8–12 for an hour).
🚌Grab/Gojek car from DPS airport to Canggu, ~£8–10; local Gojek scooter rides around Canggu, ~£1–2 each
🛏Canggu hostel dorm or budget guesthouse (e.g. The Farm Hostel, Lay Day Hostel or similar), ~£10–14/night
- →Sunset at Batu Bolong Beach
- →Explore Canggu warungs and bars
- →Optional Balinese massage (~£8–12)
Ubud, Monkey Forest, Tegalalang Rice Terrace & Kintamani
Ubud & Kintamani, Bali
Full-day self-booked tour to Ubud and the highlands (replaces the operator's included day trip). The cheapest route is a Klook or GetYourGuide small-group Ubud + Tegalalang + Kintamani tour (~£22–30) that includes hotel pick-up from Canggu, or you can hire a private driver for the day for ~£35–45 split between 2–4 people. Stops: Ubud town and market, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (entry ~£5 — keep bags zipped, the macaques are bold), Tegalalang Rice Terrace (small donation/ticket ~£2), and Kintamani village with views over the active Mount Batur volcano and Lake Batur. Lunch at a rice terrace or Kintamani viewpoint restaurant costs ~£8–10. Back in Canggu in the evening for dinner and drinks.

Surf lesson in Canggu & departure
Canggu, Bali
Morning beginner surf lesson at Batu Bolong or Old Man's beach with a local Canggu surf school (Pro Surf School Canggu, Odysseys Surf School and similar charge ~£25–35 for a 2-hour group lesson with board and rashie included) — this replaces the operator's included Mojosurf lesson. Breakfast at your hostel or a nearby café (~£3–5). Afterwards, shower, check out and either extend your stay in Canggu or arrange onward travel: Gojek/Grab back to the airport (~£8–10), or a Perama/Kura-Kura shuttle bus to Ubud (~£5–8) or onwards to the Gilis/Lombok. No departure transfer is included on the original tour either, so budget for it yourself.

Frequently asked questions
How much does 3 Day Best of Bali Arrival Package — Self-Launched cost?+
Doing it yourself with this self-launched itinerary costs an estimated £132 per person for 3 days in Bali. This is an AI-generated estimate based on typical budget-traveller prices — actual costs will vary by season and how you book.
Is this cheaper than booking with Mojosurf Indonesia?+
Yes — Mojosurf Indonesia charges around £285 per person for a similar tour. Doing the same route independently, using the same standard of accommodation and activities, costs an estimated £132 — a saving of roughly £153 (54%) per person.
How long is the Bali trip?+
This itinerary runs 3 days, covering 3 day-by-day stops through Bali.
How do I join this trip?+
You can join an existing open departure using this itinerary if one is scheduled, or launch your own departure with your own dates and invite other travellers to join you — no tour operator required.
Isn't it easier to just use a tour operator?+
Well, yes, a tour operator will book all the individual parts of your travel for you and provide a guide. That's obvious, but doing this has the potential to save the group thousands, which can in turn improve your itinerary substantially or save you huge amounts of money. Also, when you launch a departure, Travel Crew has tools in place to help you book the individual sections of the trip or make it easier for you to do this as a group. Really, you do not need a middle man. If you are more comfortable paying more and using a middle man, then you should certainly do this.
Is it safer to book through a tour operator?+
Arguably, there isn't much difference. A self-launched trip runs on the same principle as a group travel crew: collective responsibility, everyone looking out for each other, the same way it would if a group of friends organised the trip themselves — because that's exactly what's happening. You should always take out travel insurance before you go, self-launched or not; that doesn't change either way. Every open departure is published publicly with real dates and a real trip organiser, so it's never an anonymous arrangement, and our support team is reachable any time you need help, including in an emergency while you're away. Longer-term, we're building direct relationships with ground DMCs in popular destinations, offered as an optional paid add-on for extra on-the-ground support. Ultimately, though, the group is responsible for its own conduct and safety on a self-launched trip, same as on any trip you plan yourself.
What kind of trip is this?+
This is a beaches, backpacker, budget trip through Bali, self-launched rather than run by a tour operator — you organise it with a group you find or bring yourself.
