What people love about Indonesia Tours for Young Adults
Amazing Trip to Gili and Lombok! Everything was so well planned, we had plenty of activities to keep us busy, but also enough chill time to enjoy the islands. One of my favourite parts was the optional activities we got told about – especially the diving, which ended up being a big highlight for me. So glad I did it! The hotels we stayed at were great too, all comfy, in good locations, and with breakfast included. A huge shoutout to our group leader, Bapo, who truly made the trip even more special. He was fun, supportive, and always made sure everything ran smoothly. This trip was such a fun adventure with a great group of people. If you're thinking about exploring Gili and Lombok, I 100% recommend doing it this way!
Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
I've just completed the Bali Experience 12 day tour and it certainly lived up to my expectations. I have to give a special shout-out to the best group leader Annie Roberts. I've been on a number of tours in my time and hands down Annie has been the best! From the first onboarding day Annie makes you feel welcome and part of the group, takes care of all of the logistics, looking after the group (even those who get sick or catch Bali belly ?) maintains a high level of energy and positivity, ensures all activities run smoothly and that everyone has a great time, and makes it look easy! The only downside is that she makes a lot of people cry when it's time to say goodbye ? ??
Bali Experience 12 Day
This tour is great for solo travellers Annie my tour leader was great ensured I was aware what was going on and was comfortable at all times.
