Trekking and Hiking in Bali

Passionate about nature and hiking, we have tirelessly traveled the island of Bali for over 20 years to explore and offer the most beautiful “off the beaten tracks” routes to our guests. We have trained some of our guides in the specific knowledge required to supervise long walks, in particular all aspects related to safety. Our objective is not to focus on sports performance but more to use walking to better understand the nature and rurality of Indonesia, it is about taking your time to better explore and enjoy the amazing landscapes of Bali.
