Combining ancient rainforest trekking, breathtaking waterfalls, wildlife encounters, authentic village experiences, and cultural immersion, this journey is designed for travelers seeking a deeper connection with Bali’s nature and traditions.
Unlike ordinary sightseeing tours, you’ll stay in local villages, share traditional home-cooked meals with Balinese families, and explore some of the island’s most spectacular hidden landscapes with experienced local guides.
Day 1 – Sunrise, Tamblingan Jungle Trek & Sekumpul Waterfall
Your adventure begins with an early 5:00 AM hotel pick-up from South Bali. Travel through the cool mountain region of Bedugul and arrive at the spectacular Twin Lakes Viewpoint just before sunrise. Watch the first light illuminate Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan while enjoying a traditional Balinese breakfast overlooking one of Bali’s most breathtaking landscapes.
At 7:00 AM, begin your guided trek through the protected rainforest surrounding Lake Tamblingan, one of Bali’s last remaining primary forests. Walk beneath towering tropical trees, discover sacred jungle temples, and learn about the area’s rich biodiversity and spiritual significance from your local guide.
Your trek continues with a peaceful crossing of Lake Tamblingan aboard a traditional Balinese dugout canoe, handcrafted by local villagers and used for generations.
After the trekking experience, continue to Sekumpul Village to visit the magnificent Sekumpul Waterfall, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali. Surrounded by lush rainforest and dramatic cliffs, this spectacular natural wonder is the perfect finale to your first day.
In the evening, check in to a charming local guesthouse in Sekumpul Village and enjoy a delicious home-cooked Balinese dinner prepared by a local family, offering a genuine taste of village hospitality.
Day 2 – Lovina Dolphins, Banjar Hot Springs & Mayong Village
Wake up early for a 4:30 AM departure to Lovina Beach.
Board a traditional Balinese outrigger boat and cruise across the calm waters of the Bali Sea as the sun rises. Watch wild dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat during the unforgettable Lovina Dolphin Watching Tour, one of North Bali’s most iconic experiences.
After breakfast (at your own expense), continue to the peaceful Brahmavihara-Arama Buddhist Monastery, the largest Buddhist monastery in Bali. Explore its beautiful gardens, meditation areas, and hilltop viewpoints before visiting the nearby Banjar Hot Springs, where you can relax in naturally heated mineral pools surrounded by tropical gardens.
Later in the afternoon, travel to the peaceful farming community of Mayong Village, famous for its traditional Balinese lifestyle and scenic rice terraces. Spend the evening enjoying an authentic Balinese family dinner, prepared with fresh local ingredients and served in a welcoming village home.
Overnight in a comfortable village guesthouse in Mayong.
After breakfast, experience the authentic charm of Mayong Village on a guided walking tour through its beautiful rice terraces, tropical plantations, and peaceful countryside.
Meet friendly local farmers, learn about traditional Balinese agriculture, discover village temples, and gain insight into everyday life that has remained largely unchanged for generations. This slow-paced experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with Bali’s rich culture while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
