• 7 Breakfast (B)
• 1 Lunch (L)

• Bangkok: A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.

• Seminyak: Kick off your Bali adventure with welcome drinks at one of the island’s most happening beach clubs (first cocktail on us!). But it’s more than just a sunset sip – Potato Head works with the local community to recycle, reduce waste, and reuse plastic, turning sustainability into a serious vibe.  Learn how they’ve slashed landfill waste from 50% to just 3%, and get a peek at their community projects – from the Sweet Potato Farm providing food and jobs, to Nasi Bungkus delivering meals to orphanages, and the Waste Lab creating cool decor from recycled materials. Heads up though, this experience is subject to availability.
• Gili Trawangan: Best way to get around Gili T? A bike, ofc! No motorised vehicles are allowed on Gili (good for us tho, who doesn’t love a lovely seaside bike ride anyway?). We’ll hire a bike for the 3 wonderful days that we’re gonna spend exploring this idyllic island.
• Gili Trawangan: It’s time to explore the world-famous Gili Islands! First, we’ll zip through the turquoise water on an outrigger boat to Gili Mano (the most underexplored island of the three) for a full morning of snorkelling over vibrant corals, schools of fish, and even sea turtles – if you’re lucky! Then we’ll head to Gili Air for a beachside lunch at a local eatery. Afterwards, you’ve got some time to chill around and go swimming in the crystal clear sea before we make our way back to Gili Trawangan.
