Once youโ€™ve arrived, weโ€™ll pick you up from the airport and be on your way to meet the rest of your group and your Travel Ninja. Weโ€™ll run you through the next jampacked, exciting 9 days, where weโ€™ll explore dense rainforests, encounter majestic wildlife, soak in scenic routes, and connect with local communities.

      We hope youโ€™re bright eyed and bushy tailed because weโ€™re up early for our first full day!

Prepare to be captivated by the untamed beauty of nature as you set foot in this breath-taking paradise. Once weโ€™re there, weโ€™ll chill and grab a bite to eat before we head into the infamous Bat Caves (and weโ€™re not talking the Christian Bale kind of bat either). You can watch in awe as the bats flutter and dance above your head and reveal their night-time rituals, itโ€™s tru-ly an incredible experience. Get ready to start your own night-time ritual because after a full day, weโ€™re going back to the accommodation for dinner and starting our first local night out!

Keep your eyes peeled for orangutans, monkeys, tropical birds and more as we venture deep into the rainforest. Youโ€™ll work up an appetite from all this walking, as your local guide has prepared a delicious lunch for you to chow down on. Weโ€™re then switching up walking for boats! Weโ€™re then rubber tubing down the river straight to the hotel doorstep -try and tell us that that isnโ€™t cool?!

Deep in the jungle lies the Mentawai village to spend time with the local people of Sumatra, whose warm hospitality and traditions are tru-ly incredible. This is one of those moments that youโ€™ll cherish forever. We take a fast boat to Siberut and the heart of the village for an authentic rural experience. Youโ€™ll have a lunch prepared for the locals before exploring the surrounding farm, where our host family will welcome us with open arms and stay in huts. You canโ€™t do this anywhere else, but you know by now that here at Tru, we donโ€™t do things by halves. Weโ€™ll then take a trip to the market, a hub for local handicrafts, textile, and souvenirs.

Itโ€™s filled with gorgeous architecture, ponds full of exotic fish and lush greenery. Then weโ€™ll head over to Tanah Lot, which is set on a rock formation and is so fun to explore. After a day of culture, get your dancing shoes on because weโ€™re going OUT OUT. Weโ€™ll watch the sunset on one of the most picturesque beaches, before a big night out in Canggu.

Weโ€™ll stop off on the way to cool off in the most famous waterfall, Tegenungan waterfall, so make sure your cameras are charged and ready to snap some pics. If you can get a good picture of you emerging from the water flicking your hair, weโ€™ll be impressed because we tried it and itโ€™s not giving Little Mermaid at all.

Weโ€™ll start by having breakfast, before having a sneak peek at the freshest ingredients at the local markets. Then weโ€™ll join the amazing Wayan and learn how to cook some of Baliโ€™s famous dishes, as well as Canang Sari, the flower offerings made for the God. Obviously youโ€™ll then get to eat all of the delicious food youโ€™ve made today. Once our bellies are literally at capacity of how much Balinese food we can stuff ourselves with, weโ€™re going to walk it off at the famous, sacred Monkey Forest. Make sure you donโ€™t have sunglasses on your head, headphones in, designer bags, or dangling necklaces because these literal cheeky monkeys will nick whatever you have to hand. That Louis Vuitton cross body bag you have? Yeah, donโ€™t bring that. But itโ€™s a bucket list moment, itโ€™s believed the hundreds of monkeys protect the temples inside, they mean a lot to the Balinese people. Then in classic Tru style, weโ€™ll head back, and youโ€™ll eat and drink with your TruFam and catch up and talk about the memories youโ€™ve made so far.
