Bali has earned its reputation as one of the world’s beach hotspots, but there’s so much more to it than that.

This 14-day adventure combines the cultural and natural highlights of this unbelievably picturesque part of Indonesia with a week spent cruising the Gili Islands aboard a supercool catamaran.

Enormous Hindu temples, rice paddies, bustling marketplaces, a sunrise hike to the top of Mt Batur and more than we could possibly list await. All you have to do is tag along.
