The majority of our guests are between 21 and 35 years old and seek to immerse themselves in our adventurous flashpacking travel style. Our tours provide an ideal opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to connect and share travel experiences with like-minded fellow travellers.
  What time do we arrive back in Canggu on day 12?
  - The bus will arrive in Canggu 13:00, since there can be traffic between Canggu and the airport, so we recommend booking a flight no earlier than 6pm to arrive with plenty of time.

  Do I need proper hiking gear for Batur?
  - You don't need proper hiking gear, a pair of trainers and lots of layers will do. You will be warm on the hike up but once you get to the summit it can get pretty cold before the sun rises. We recommend a hoody and maybe a wooly hat. Once the sun is up though its back to Balis glorious normal temperatures!

  Can I bring a suitcase on this trip?
  - We would recommend packing as light as you can on this trip, while we have private transportation at most points throughout the tour we do take fast ferries between Bali, Nusa Penida and Gili T so we recommend bringing a backpack or a lightweight suitcase to make this leg of the trip easier.

  I am arriving a day early, can I still get an airport pick up?
  - Airport pick-ups are included if you arrive on Day 1 of the tour or if you purchase an accommodation pre-night from us.
