Bali 360°: Kuta, Ubud and Seminyak
The trip in a nutshell
Bali is perhaps the most famous island in all of Indonesia and and we definitely understand why!
We start our once-in-a-lifetime tour from Kuta, but we cannot stay long: the UNESCO heritage rice fields of Jatiluwih await us, along with the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple, which overlooks Lake Bratan creating magical reflections in the water. At Wanagiri Hill we will ride one of Bali's famous swings while at Lake Batur we will admire a sunrise that we will never forget. No Bali trip is completed without going to Ubud. Here, we will discover temples, rice fields and palaces as well as local restaurants to sample unique vegetarian and vegan dishes. We will then go back Kuta, where it all began – last bit of beach time in Seminyak before we say goodbye!
This trip will be a total immersion into the Indonesian culture to discover everything this country has to offer.

Itinerary
Welcome to Bali!
Welcome to Bali!
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can decide when and where you want to depart! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travels to your needs.
Check-in at the hotel in Kuta and join welcome meeting to meet the rest of the group. We use the afternoon to settle in and recover from the jet lag! In the evening we go searching for the most characteristic restaurant to taste some typical dishes - coconut rice anyone?
Lake Bratan, temples and rice fields
Let's get lost in the rice fields
Good morning Bali! We get ready to start exploring the island. Let's start from the rice fields, undoubtedly one of the first things that come to mind when talking about Bali: we visit Jatiluwih, same of the most beautiful rice terraces on the island. They have also become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We walk amongst the rice terraces and take our time to appreciate this landscape - and find the best spot to take some photos!
Indonesian temples
After lunch we leave for Lake Bratan, also one of the most iconic places in Bali. We cannot miss the Temple of Ulun Danu Bratan dedicated to the goddess of water Dewi Danu. We then continue to the Handara Gate, Bali’s Gate! Make sure your cameras and phones are charged because we already know we’ll drain the battery with all the photos we’ll take.
Included: Private transport
Money pot: entrance fees to the sites and tickets
Not included: meals and drinks
Bali Swing and Waterfalls
A day full of adventures
We wake up early, ready for another day in Bali: first we go up to Wanagiri Hill, where we can go on one of Bali's famous swings. Afterwards, we will walk to the Sekumpul Waterfall, a majestic waterfall that emerges from the vegetation. Ready for a dip?
After lunch we will start our drive towards Lake Batur, a lake that is located inside a caldera of an active volcano, Mount Batur. Once we arrive we settle down, grab a bite to eat and then... let's call it a day, tomorrow’s alarm is set very early!
Included: private transport and guide
Money pot: entrance fees to the sites and tickets
Not included: meals and drinks
Sunrise over Mount Batur
A unique sunrise
We wake up around 2am (yes, it's early, but it is worth it!) and go out to enjoy a spectacular sunrise on Mount Batur. We then return to the hotel or, alternatively, we could go to the thermal baths of Toya Bungkah to relax big time – we have earned it!
Towards Ubud
After lunch we leave for Ubud, but first we will visit the Tirta Empul Temple where there are pools we can bathe in and enjoy the purifying bath ritual. We arrive in Ubud in the late afternoon, where we have some free time at the hotel before we get ready to go out, looking for a place to have dinner and spend the evening at.
Included: Private transport included in the travel fee
Money pot: Entrance fees to the sites and any tickets. Mount Batur sunrise hike.
Not included: meals and drinks
Ubud: rafting, Monkey Forest and night markets
Rafting and temples
Good morning Ubud! Time to reach the River Ayung for an exciting morning of white-water rafting! And if the adrenaline makes us hungry afterwards, no worries: lunch is included! With a full belly we make our way back to Ubud, ready to explore the city; there are many temples scattered everywhere, so we can start from Pura Taman Saraswati and then go on to visit Puri Saren Palace. We can go to the Botanical Garden or walk along the Campuhan Ridge, a pleasant stroll that takes us just outside Ubud to a viewpoint from where we can admire the valley.
Monkeys are our friends
Another place that cannot be miss whilst in Ubud is the Monkey Forest! We enter this sacred place we are greeted by our new fury friends. But be careful: the monkeys are little thieves and they will try to steal our sunnies and hats in exchange for food!
In the evening we can explore the market where we can find local handicrafts - is it time to think about souvenirs?
Included: transfer to/from the Ayung River, rafting and lunch included in the travel fee.
Money pot: entrance fees to the sites and any tickets to Ubud are included in the money pot.
Not included: other meals and drinks
Cooking class and Uluwatu Temple
Cooking class
Let's get ready to immerse ourselves in the Balinese culinary traditions with a private cooking class in the village of Bongkasa! We'll cook local dishes like the 'Gedang Mekuah' soup and the 'Pepes Ikan' grilled fish wrapped in banana leaf.
Pura Uluwatu
After lunch we leave for the Bukit Peninsula to reach Pura Uluwatu, a temple perched on a rock along the coast. We will stay here to enjoy the sunset before making our way to Seminyak, ready for our last day in Bali!
Included: private transport
Money pot: entrance fees to the sites and any tickets
Not included: meals and drinks
Seminyak: relax, yoga and party
The last day
We wake up in the city where we started this journey, ready to make the most of our final day! This morning everyone can choose the activity they prefer: we could take part in a yoga class or choose total relaxation with a nice massage!
In the afternoon we have free time for some pre-departure shopping - or any other activity that pops into our minds! Last but certainly not least, our last dinner together before the end of the tour, so let's enjoy it to the fullest!
Money pot: entrance fees to the sites and any tickets

We have to say goodbye: see you on the next WeRoad adventure!

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
