Customizable itinerary

Prepare to be swept away by the breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage of Bali and its neighboring islands on this meticulously crafted 7-day Bali to Gili island hopping tour.

From the historic grandeur of Tirtagangga to the enchanting landscapes of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, this itinerary invites you to immerse yourself in a world of natural wonder and timeless traditions.

Venture beyond Bali’s shores to discover the vibrant marine life and secluded beaches that make the surrounding islands true jewels of the Indonesian archipelago. Complete your journey with a visit to the idyllic Gili Trawangan, where you can bask in the laid-back island life and savor the sheer tranquility that pervades this slice of paradise.

Embark on this captivating expedition and unlock a world of natural beauty, cultural riches, and lifelong memories.

A warm greeting awaits at Bali International Airport; your private guide and driver will meet you in the arrivals lounge and drive you directly to your hotel. Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions along the way and will assist you with check-in and registration at the hotel.

After a short rest, we’ll drive from the south of Bali to Candidasa. Relatively unknown a decade ago, Candidasa is now a popular retreat destination that has managed to retain its village identity. Highlight activities include snorkeling, scuba diving and excursions to the seaward temple of Candidasa. The panorama encompassing islets to the left, Nusa Penida directly ahead and the headland to the right is easy to admire, with most of the hotels and resorts facing directly out to the sea. Staying here means you will lose less time if you venture out to some traditional focal points of East Bali. Then there are some interesting, off-the-beaten-tracks to be followed in this part of the island, through salak plantations and forgotten villages.

We’ll driver further east. Your first stop will be Tirtagangga, surrounded by arguably the most beautiful rice fields of Bali. In the center of Karangasem, you can visit the city palace of the same raja’s. Before returning to your hotel, you will visit a remarkable village.

Meals: (Breakfast/Lunch/_)


Snorkeling in Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida to admire colorful coral reefs and fishes. In certain spots on Nusa Penida, manta rays can be seen regularly, all year round. Snorkeling allows you to see a lot of marine life, but with diving, you can discover even more of the underwater world.

Meals: (Breakfast/_/_)



Drive a short distance to Padangbai, a mere small cove with a white sandy beach, lined with fishing boats. It used to be the old port to Lombok. A speed boat will take you straight to Trawangan, one of the 3 tiny islands in front of the northwest coast of Lombok. There are no motorcycles or cars on the island. Superb white sandy beaches, clear water, colored fish, beautiful coral reefs add to a great laidback atmosphere of this tiny tropical paradise. The rest of the day you will be free to explore the magnificent surroundings.

Meals: (Breakfast/_/_)

You’ll have ample time for beach activities or snorkeling. Get on a glass-bottom boat and travel slowly from one island to the other. You may stop as often as you like to snorkel or swim, perhaps even among large sea turtles.

Meals: (Breakfast/Lunch/_)



Today you will travel to the “mainland” of Lombok for your return flight to Bali. Arrive in Bali in the late afternoon and enjoy leisure lunch before heading to Uluwatu.

We’ll drive to one of Bali’s holiest and most important temples, Pura Luhur Uluwatu, located in a picturesque place on the southwestern coast of the island, on top of a cliff hanging over the ocean. In addition to a marvelous location, in the evenings in front of the entrance to the temple, you can watch the Kecak dance performance.

Meals: (Breakfast/_/_)

Free at your leisure to enjoy the resort’s facilities or more exploration until departure time, meet your guide at the hotel lobby for your transfer service back to Denpasar airport. End of services.

We planned to visit Vietnam as a group of friends and was referred to Adam by a couple that returned and used Adam to arrange their holiday. We gave him the brief and requested him to organise this with some recommendations from him. Adam is punctual in his response , flexible to make your trip memorable with his experience.

This was our best arranged, planned, and executed travel trip ever. We would make use of their services again in future.

We contacted Asia Pioneer Travel earlier this year to arrange a tour for us through Vietnam. We specified places that we would like to see, and the type of accommodation that we would like to stay in. We had personal dealings with Adam, and throughout the process he was always available to answer our questions on what’s app, although we have a time difference of 5 hours. He promptly sent us an itinerary as well as a quote. We had a few changes that we wanted, and they were made without any delay. Adam arranged for our E visas to visit Vietnam as well as every aspect of our vacation.

We visited Vietnam for 16 days, and every excursion was delivered as promised, drivers were always on time and the day before made contact to conform the arrangements for the next day.

We were so impressed by the efficiency, professionalism and friendliness of this travel agency and I can with an open mind and honesty recommend this company for all your travel arrangements to Asia, and more specifically Vietnam. No extra money was ever charged over and above the original quote, and what was included and not was clearly spelled out.

5 Star service from Asia Pioneer Travel.
