Jakarta to Ubud: Waves & Wanderlust

Arrive at any time.

For your first night out with the group and CEO, visit a local favourite Jakarta restaurant. Get to know your fellow travellers over drinks and local delicacies as you take in the bustling capital. Have a toast to new adventures and friends!

Ride to Bandung and let the scenery guide you to some serenity. Tea plantations, waterfalls, and hot springs —this side of paradise is looking mighty fine.

Spend the day with your group Ciater Tea Plantation to learn how tea is made, then walk to a waterfall nearby and relax in the hot springs.

Watch the world go by on a scenic train ride to Yogyakarta. Once you arrive, and if you're not feeling too beat, check out Sosrowijayan and Prawirotaman Streets for unwinding with drinks and local eats.

There's more to discover in Yogyakarta today! See some Javanese temples, bike to rice paddies on the outskirts of the city, try street food like gudeg (curry made from unripe jackfruit), or soak in the last rays of sun at the stunning Buddhist Borobudur temple complex — and make sure you don't forget your camera.

Another free day in Yogyakarta means another day to connect with it's perfect blend of rich heritage and vibrant street life. Spend today seeing whats left on your "Yogyakarta bucket list." Maybe start at the magnificent Kraton (Sultan's Palace) and the mysterious subterranean mosque at Taman Sari Water Castle. In the evening, opt to explore the bustling energy of Malioboro Street for incredible local street food and souvenir shopping.

Take the scenic route to Ngadas via private vehicle. Here, you'll spend the evening at a local G Adventures-supported community homestay.

Get a taste of local culture with a home-cooked dinner and time with a community leader to learn about the region's unique customs and history.

Today's for reaching new heights. Start the day with a village walk then trek along the Ancestor Trail to Mt Bromo, led by a local guide trained through the G Adventures-supported capacity building program. Take a jeep ride after lunch to start the hike to the volcano's crater (and take some pictures!) before going to the hotel.

Skip sleeping in today for a pre-dawn walk to Mt Bromo, where you can catch a final glimpse of the moon and stars before the golden sunrise. Stop to breathe it all in before you head to a beachside surf camp on Red Island.

Wake up and catch a wave on a morning surf lesson, then take the rest of the day to explore the nearby fishing village, surf some more, or rest easy in a beachside hammock.

Head back to Bali for a chill day of relaxing on the beach. Sit back, grab a drink, and soak up some sunshine. This is the place for it.

Drive to Ubud. There is always something to discover in this whimsical town. Today is yours to explore however you’d like.
