Week 2: Cultural Immersion Week

This week does not follow a set itinerary, but it involves plenty of activities that gets you involved with the local communities, so that you get to know more about the culture and people of this fascinating island. You might be helping out in the community, organising games activities with local schoolchildren, and doing lots of little cultural trips with the rest of the group. Activities are from Monday to Friday, weekends are taken off the you to explore Bali at your own leisure.

Week 3: Adventure Week

The adventure week is full on action. From Mountain biking down active volcanoes, cycling through spice plantations and meandering through Rice plantations we will get you active and out into the island. We will take you to the southern Bali beaches to check out Turtle Island and even go white water rafting on the most beautiful stunning river. Towards the end of the week, swap your flip-flops for hiking shoes as we are going to do a volcano climb to catch the sun rise over Mount Batur. Fridays the final night at the Xtreme Gap base and is a chill day, relax those aching muscles from the mountain climb with a traditional Balinese Massage included. On Saturday you will transfer to a stunning Surf resort called Echo land.

Week 4: Action & Surf Week

There are not that many set activities planned for the fourth week, this is because you will want your own space and time to chill check out the beaches and go surfing. Don’t worry there is plenty to do, lots of day trips and tours can be arranged at the front desk if you have had enough of the beaches.

Here is what is included:

Surfing

Try out some surfing. One lesson is included, but you can book some extra lessons locally if you are up for it. Canggu beaches provide a wild wave that is suitable for surfing. Echo beach is the famous surf beach in Canggu. There you will meet other surfers who try to conquer the wild wave.

Most people joining the Xtreme Bali Experience have little or no surf experience, and that’s okay because you will be in the capable hands of our top pro surfers. Within a couple of hours of being in the water will get you up and surfing, teaching the theory, the safety and who knows may be stoking a new addiction.

If you want to properly experience surfing in Bali, then we recommend bolting on the surfing in Bali trip, if you and intermediate that can really develop the skills, and just have an amazing time ripping it up on some of the more challenging waves, even if you are a beginner in one week we can get you to a pretty good standard with a lot of fun in the process.

Yoga Classes

With intricate Hindu temples, surrounded by lush jungles and emerald green rice paddies, there is a very spiritual vibe to Bali. What better way to explore this, then trying out some yoga and really soaking up the Bali experience.

Surrounded by green gardens and clean air, Yoga Shala Canggu is secluded from the hustle bustle of Kuta and Seminyak.

Built newly in 2010, a 58meter2 (30pax max capacity) yoga studio has a 270° view of the beautiful surrounding of Canggu as the background, yoga here is tranquil and peaceful. The yoga hall is equipped with fans, power plugs (cd tape available), and low-energy light bulbs. Yoga Mats and blocks are provided.

Yoga not your thing? Then you can have an hour massage instead. The perfect way to sooth those post surf aching shoulders.

The Xtreme Bali Experience is designed to give you a real taste of Bali, taking you to places that you wouldn’t normally see on your typical backpacker tourist trail. There are activities that you will look back on, like learning to surf, that will add some serious kudos to your travels, there will be breathtaking moments surrounded by incredible landscapes, and some bizarre moments when you know you are definitely not a home (like having high tea in the mystical tea house). There is plenty of chill time, and opportunities to go off and explore on your own as well, we believe that you should have plenty of time to do your own thing as well which really helps you soak up the unique atmosphere that Bali has to offer.

Not included on the final week but optional extras bookable locally:

Get Cultural and Explore Bali

For a day of culture and dramatic landscapes our tour guide will point out all the best temples and volcanoes and take you to the most interesting parts of the island. Each day trip is unique, in that we ask you what you would most like to see, but some of the most popular options include:

• The thriving capital and cultural heart of Bali: Ubud
• The enchanted monkey forest
• Rice field terraces, ok so there are a lot of these in Bali, but some are simply spectacular
• Bbarong/kecak fire dance
• Kkintamani volcano or Gunung Batur a semi active Volcano
• Alternatively you can head out on a beach trip to places like Uluwatu, Bukit, Padang, Nusa Dua or Jimbaran

Sightseeing in Tanah Lot

One of the things that makes Bali so unique amongst all the different islands that make up Indonesia, is that the main religion is Hindu. This gives Bali a completely different feel to most of the other places in the country. Remember that Indonesia is the most populated Islamic country in the world, so this little island has had to withstand a lot of external influence to remain true to its Hindu roots.

Evidence is everywhere, with ornate Hindu temples popping up in the strangest of places, you can be strolling through the jungle, walking through a rice paddy and if you are approaching the coast at Tanah Lot you will be sure to see plenty of Hindu temples there as well.

Tanah Lot refers to a collection of temples perched on rocky outcrops right by the coast,

The temples are undoubtedly impressive and not definitely a must see experience when visiting Bali. During the trip we will take you to Tanah Lot so you can check out the temples for yourself, and most likely you will encounter the Hindu ritual of leaving offerings to the spirits, usually made up of food wrapped in banana leaves left out to appease the gods.

Not much evidence goes on that this works however, although the stray dogs and cats do rather well out of it.

Trip End

The Xtreme Bali Experience finishes on the Saturday making it 27 nights.

Accommodation

Week 1-3

During the Intro, Adventure and Cultural Immersion Weeks the accommodation will vary depending on the project, but will be in shared bedrooms at our house. Meals during these weeks are included. The food is traditional Balinese for 3 meals/day on weekdays, weekends (2 meals/ day)

All participants are expected to be environmentally responsible and to use all resources with restraint, especially water, paper and electricity. You will be expected to clean up after yourself, and to play your part to keep the accommodation neat and tidy.

During the Action and Surf week accommodation is at Echo Beach – THE Surf location in Bali

7 nights  in luxury shared accommodation, please note no food is included during the Surf week but you can eat for about two pounds per meal. There are lots of restaurants locally.

Our Accommodation is an ideal place to start and end each day and by making this your base, we will help you to feel, experience and explore the real Bali. The perfect peaceful escape from the over developed and bustling, even manic areas of Kuta and Seminyak, which although only a short twenty five minutes drive away, seem to be a whole world away.

Echo Beach is a good destination to spend your sunset time, stunning sunset view, great beach side restaurants and cafes, surfing, great atmosphere and vibes; a nice getaway from hubbub of Kuta and a good alternative sunset dinner besides Jimbaran.

The central part of the beach is long gone, replaced by a substantial retaining wall which both protects and provides a large recreation area to some of Canggu’s restaurants, best known of which (and famous for its barbecues) is Echo Beach House.

With benches, tables and umbrellas scattered in front of the sea, and the surfing happening within easy eye shot, it’s a great place to nurse a few cold drinks, munch down on the food and enjoy the show that goes on, in and out of the water — no shortage of posers here!
