Day Trip from Ubud
During our Zoom call in September, we will discuss and choose our day trip options. I'll then organize transport for the chosen activities.
Bike downhill through the heartland of Bali on secret backroads, experiencing Balinese daily life, rice paddy panoramas, timeless small villages, and Balinese children calling “Hello” along the way.
Raft the Ayung River, explore hidden waterfalls, intricate rock carvings, and native flora and fauna, followed by a buffet lunch and chocolate tasting.
Coffee Plantation learn about the traditional roasting process and sample delicious local blends like avocado and coconut. It's a coffee lover's dream.
Free time (no organized guide or transport)
For additional hotel nights in Ubud before or after the event, contact us for a group rate at the Plataran Hotel.
Or see the FAQ #10 for other hotel recommendations in Ubud.
Saturday, September 13 & beyond or Wednesday, October 1 & beyond
Nusa Lembongan island
Stay on Nusa Lembongan island for 2+ nights, based on your personal preference and flight schedule.
Note: it’s best to have at least three nights in Lembongan; two nights would feel rushed.
I’ll organize group transport to the island via bus and ferry (2.5 hour journey). Book a luxurious or budget hotel near Mushroom Bay Beach, based on your budget.
Optional free time activities: yoga, relax on the beach, surf or surf lessons, mangrove tour, boat tour with snorkeling, visit the stunning Nusa Pineda island, or pamper yourself with massages.
*Activities are subject to change. 😊
Other pre- and post-retreat ideas
In 2023 and 2024, many attendees spent several extra weeks in Bali, and participated in additional adventures, e.g. biking, rafting, snorkeling, scuba diving, waterfall or coffee plantation tours, a volcano hike, and cooking, jewelry, or music classes.
Cost of post-retreat options
Average mid-range hotel - $110 USD per room
Average restaurant meal without alcohol - $10 USD
We’ll divide the cost of the transport from Ubud to Lembongan island on September 13 or October 3.
Your costs will depend on your chosen number of nights, meals, and activities.
