Itinerary

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 Seminyak, 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.

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 Seminyak 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?

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.

A day full of adventures

After a big breakfast today, we dive into the Balinese rainforest—thick foliage, mysterious sounds and that mix of humidity and wonder that pulls you straight into nature.

We reach Gitgit, one of Bali’s most famous waterfalls. Powerful cascades, lush greenery and a touch of mist set the scene. We can swim, stand under the waterfall, take photos and enjoy the moment—soaked but happy. On the way back, we can stop at a local warung for a hot meal and a fresh juice.

Alternatively, we can choose a bicycle excursion through the tropical forest—think misty trails, abandoned temples and scenic winding paths, quite the adventure!

At the end of the day we'll continue on to Ubud, the beating heart of the island.

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.

An afternoon to enjoy (and share!)

After lunch, it’s up to us! Temples, swings or a quad ride? We can start in Tegalalang and hop on the famous swings overlooking the rice terraces. Alternatively (or both, if we move quickly), we can take some time for ourselves with a purification ritual (Melukat) at the Taman Mumbul temple. The final option is a two-hour quad adventure.

Can’t decide? Our Coordinator will help us choose the best plan for the group. What matters is getting an early night—tomorrow’s wake-up call is very early.

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!

Rafting, temples and the Monkey Forest

We head back to Ubud and—if we’ve got the courage and the energy—we take on the Ayung River with an exciting rafting session. After lunch, we've got time to explore Ubud and might want to take in some of its stunning temples like Pura Taman Saraswati and Puri Saren Palace.

Alternatively we can visit the Botanical Garden or walk the Campuhan Ridge, a lovely trail just outside Ubud leading to a scenic viewpoint over the valley.

Another spot we can’t miss in Ubud is the Monkey Forest: a sacred sanctuary where the monkeys rule. We’ll watch them in their natural habitat—climbing, swinging, grooming each other and, of course, stealing sunglasses from tourists…

Good morning Ubud! Finally, a gentler wake-up call! We’ll use this day for any activities we don’t want to miss and couldn’t fit in earlier. When we’re ready, we head to Seminyak for our last day in Bali—yes, by the sea!

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!

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

About this trip

What are the meeting and departure details for this trip?

This journey begins at Bali. On the first day, we meet at 18:00.

Your Coordinator will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
 It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have.

Tip: if flights to Denpasar are too expensive, you can consider flights to Jakarta and from there take a flight to Bali (not in connection).

This journey ends at Bali. On the last day, you are free to leave at any time, so whether you need to book a flight, a train, or wish to continue the journey on your own, you can organize your return as you prefer.

What kind of luggage can I bring with me on this trip?

For this itinerary, you can choose the type of luggage you prefer – we always recommend a backpack, but you can also travel with a duffel bag, a holdall, or (it breaks our heart to say it) a cabin trolley case or a checked suitcase, as long as it’s moderate in size. Our Travel Coordinator will suggest the ideal luggage before departure in the WhatsApp group!

About Indonesia

What are the entry requirements for Indonesia?

If you are a UK citizen, to find out the entry requirements for Indonesia, you can check this informational page from our partner Sherpa. If you need a visa, you can apply for it through Sherpa. If you are not a UK citizen, you can still use Sherpa by changing the nationality in the 'Passport' section.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Indonesia – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

What's the time zone in Indonesia?

Indonesia spans three time zones:

  • Western Indonesia Time (WIB) is UTC+7
  • Central Indonesia Time (WITA) is UTC+8
  • Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT) is UTC+9

So, if it's 12 pm in Central European Time, it will be:

  • 6 pm in WIB
  • 7 pm in WITA
  • 8 pm in WIT

Just remember, Indonesia does not observe daylight saving time, so these time differences remain consistent throughout the year.

Which currency is used in Indonesia?

The currency in Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). You can easily exchange your money at banks or authorized money changers in major cities. Keep an eye out for official exchange booths to ensure you get a fair rate.

How can I pay in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, you can pay using credit and debit cards in major cities and tourist areas, but cash is often preferred in smaller towns or rural areas. ATMs are widely available for withdrawing cash. Mobile payment options like GoPay and OVO are also popular. It's always a good idea to have some Indonesian Rupiah on hand for small purchases or in areas where card payments are not accepted.

Do I need to tip in Indonesia?

Tipping in Indonesia is appreciated but not mandatory. In restaurants, a service charge is often included in the bill, but if it is not, leaving a tip of 5 to 10 percent is a nice gesture. Hotel staff, taxi drivers, and tour guides also appreciate small tips. Keep some small bills handy for these occasions, as they are most convenient for tipping.

What's the internet like in Indonesia? Should I buy a SIM card? How available is Wi-Fi?

In Indonesia, you'll find that internet access can vary greatly depending on where you are. In major cities like Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya, you'll have access to decent Wi-Fi in most hotels, cafes, and restaurants. However, in rural areas, internet connectivity may not be as reliable. 

We recommend you get a local SIM card for better connectivity, especially if you plan to explore beyond the cities. SIM cards are affordable and can be purchased at the airport or convenience stores. Look for providers like Telkomsel or XL for good coverage.

What language do they speak in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, the official language is Indonesian. It's widely used across the country, though you'll find many local languages and dialects too. Here are a few useful Indonesian phrases you might hear or want to use:

  • Hello: Halo
  • Thank you: Terima kasih
  • Please: Tolong
  • Yes: Ya
  • No: Tidak

These handy phrases will help you connect with locals during your travels!

What kind of plugs are used in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, they use Type C and Type F plugs, which are the same as in many Central European countries. These plugs have two round pins. The voltage is 230V, and the frequency is 50Hz. If your devices are compatible with this voltage, you will only need an adapter. However, if your devices are not dual voltage (check the label on your device), you might need a voltage converter. Always double-check your devices before traveling to avoid any issues.

What’s the main religion in Indonesia?

The main religion in Indonesia is Islam. Most Indonesians are Muslim, and you will find mosques throughout the country. If you are planning to visit, it's respectful to dress modestly, especially important for women who should consider covering their shoulders and knees. 

Remember that during the holy month of Ramadan, many Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Also, be aware of important religious holidays like Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice.

What should I pack for Indonesia?

When packing for Indonesia, consider its tropical climate and diverse landscapes. 
Here's a handy list to help you get started:

  • Clothing:
    - Lightweight shirts
    - Shorts
    - Long pants for evenings
    - Swimsuit
    - Light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings
  • Shoes:
    - Comfortable walking shoes
    - Sandals
    - Water shoes for beach or water activities
  • Accessories and Technology:
    - Sun hat or cap
    - Sunglasses
    - Power bank
    - Camera or smartphone for photos
    - Universal adapter
  • Toiletries and Medication:
    - Sunscreen
    - Insect repellent
    - Basic toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo
    - First aid kit
    - Common travel medication like pain relievers, anti-diarrheal pills, and motion sickness tablets

Keep in mind the weather can be quite humid, so breathable fabrics are a good choice.

What’s the weather like in Indonesia?

Indonesia's weather is generally tropical, but it can vary depending on the region:

  • Java and Bali: Dry season from May to September, with the best time to visit being between June and August. Rainy season from October to April.
  • Sumatra: Wet and humid, with heavy rainfall from October to April. Dryer months are usually May to September.
  • Borneo and Sulawesi: Experience heavy rain from November to March, while June to September is drier.
  • Papua: Rainfall is common year-round, but May to October is slightly drier.

In general, the best time to visit Indonesia is during the dry season, from May to September, when you can enjoy sunnier days and pleasant temperatures.

About WeRoad

Are flights included?

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

What does the "Available" status mean?

to-confirm.svg

An "Available" departure means that the trip isn’t confirmed yet and we’re waiting for a few more travellers to sign up… which could be you!

If you book the trip please wait for it to be confirmed before booking your international flights.

What is the Money Pot and how does it work?

The question of all questions! Here’s some more information: 

  • The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all travellers on the trip and managed by your Travel Coordinator. 
  • It is used to streamline payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do. This guarantees 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 Money Pot amount on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the Money Pot’. To find this 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 usually used for group expenses that all travellers decide to take part in, but sometimes if you opt out of an activity it might make more sense for it to come out of the Money Pot. In these cases the Coordinator will return the amount for this activity back to you at the end of the trip. 
  • It is estimated based on the experience of other groups but can vary depending on what activities your group is keen for. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
  • If not all of the Money Pot is spent, the difference will be returned to all travellers at the end of the trip. 
  • 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 for part of the Money Pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded if the trip is cancelled. 
What payment methods can I use?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Klarna (you’ll pay for the trip in three equal amounts);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

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 up to 31 days before departure, 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. 

You can do it directly from your personal MyWeRoad account!
 
Within your booking you will find the "Change Your Trip" section at the bottom right, just underneath your booking details. You will be able to select a different date for the same trip, or a different trip entirely. Whether you are able to change the trip depends on the cancellation terms of your booking. For your original booking if you selected the Private Room, Flexible Cancellation or entered any discount code, gift card or voucher, before confirming the change we will let you know if anything isn't applicable to the new trip and you can decide whether to proceed or not. If you have any issues please do get in touch with the WeRoad team and we'll be able to help. 
 
It's not possible to move to a 'sold out' trip and with any trips that are 'on request' we will need to check availability with our local partners so please do get in touch if you want to move to an 'on request' trip. Please bear in mind that if the trip has the 'final spots' status, there may be no places left in either the male or female room.

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.

What type of accommodation should I expect on your trips?

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

Can I find out my travel groups' flights?

Yes! We might not know the flights for everyone else in the group, but there are ways to find out which flights your fellow WeRoaders will be taking. 

1. All travellers can share their flight details after booking on their My WeRoad account so that other travellers on the same trip can see these details anonymously. 

2. Alternatively you can join our Facebook group: Solo Travellers | WeRoad Community – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963298767843213 ) Look for a post about the trip you’re interested in or ask the group admin for help in getting in touch with your future travel companions!

3. If the Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you’re keen for, you can easily find their Facebook post on the website. Click 'Ask the Coordinator' and follow the link here. 

 



 

How is a group made up in average?

Our groups usually consist of 8–12 travellers, with a minimum of 3–4 and a maximum of 15. 
Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, with an average age of 34 across all trips.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Travel Coordinators, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700. 

Can I see who’s in the group before I book the trip?

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

If a location is mentioned, is it guaranteed that we’ll spend the night there?

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

Who is the Travel Coordinator and what is their role on the trip?

The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Coordinator will set up a WhatsApp group 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 on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

Will I be sharing a room?

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. By default this will be people of the same gender, unless you tick ‘I'm OK with a mixed gender room’ when you book. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travellers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of 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 accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travellers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email [email protected] if you have a preference on this. 

How can I be part of the WeRoad community?

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.

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. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here
