About
If you’re looking to dive into a journey that feels straight out of a movie, this Bali backpacking trip has all the makings of a tropical blockbuster! Inspired by scenes of wanderlust from Eat Pray Love, The Beach, and Crazy Rich Asians, this adventure is filled with unforgettable experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and a healthy dose of relaxation. This trip is truly cinematic from the artistic heart of Ubud to the secluded beaches of Gili Trawangan and the scenic cliffs of Nusa Penida.
Trip Highlights
Ubud - Cultural Hub and Scenic Countryside
Start in Ubud, where the vibes echo Eat Pray Love’s soul-searching magic, and discover your own journey amidst the lush rice terraces and art markets. Like Julia Roberts in the film, you’ll experience a warm welcome in this artistic and spiritual heart of Bali, complete with cosy dinners and beautiful scenery.
Bali Swing and Kintamani Village
Live out your Crazy Rich Asians fantasy with a ride on the Bali Swing, flying over lush landscapes that feel like a scene from a luxurious adventure. Then, visit Kintamani Village for stunning views of Mt. Batur. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re in a National Geographic scene, capturing the raw power of Bali’s volcanoes and serene mountain beauty.
Gili Trawangan - Island Serenity and Vibrant Nightlife
Imagine the carefree island life you’d see in The Beach, where days are spent exploring white sands, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. Gili Trawangan has that magical island vibe, and with no motorised vehicles, you’re immersed in an authentic, unhurried atmosphere. By night, enjoy the lively beachside gatherings, like a beach party scene from a movie.
Nusa Penida - Breathtaking Views and Hidden Beaches
Step into the jaw-dropping landscapes of Crazy Rich Asians as you ferry over to Nusa Penida. The cliffs and secluded beaches, especially Kelingking Beach at sunset, could easily be mistaken for a movie set. Snap photos with friends at Diamond Beach, a place that could be straight out of a travel documentary.
Kuta - Chill Out and Explore Bali’s Beach Culture
Channel some surfer spirit with a laid-back day in Kuta, where you can try activities like surfing and beachcombing, just like the beach scenes in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Enjoy Bali’s vibrant beach scene and culture, and, of course, treat yourself to a traditional Balinese massage, a perfect way to unwind after an incredible trip.
