A popular add-on package to our existing list of programs is the Bali Beach Holiday. Sanur presents you with quiet and idyllic beaches that are largely undisturbed. During this week you can relax at the beach, go on a bike ride around the beach town, go snorkelling into the blue waters, shop around for authentic clothing and take part in various other fun-loving seaside activities. Sanur presents you with quiet and idyllic beaches that are largely undisturbed by the heavy influx of tourists to Bali each year. The week is dedicated to relaxing and spending most of your time on the beach, it, however, includes a few organised activities such as an introductory bike ride through the commercial area and along the coast and also an opportunity to explore the beautiful world that lies beneath the waves through snorkelling.

Please note that we are moving the location of this away from Sanur and will update the details as soon as possible.

We highly recommend you start your trip with a comprehensive cultural immersion week followed by one of our community projects. It will help you settle in by meeting new people and understanding great aspects about the country you are visiting. Search other activities for week two onward in the ‘Related trips‘ section.

Programme Description
Participants can spend all their free time at the beach or in the shopping area. Sanur boasts a wide range of restaurants that cater to every palate and budget. You could spend the entire week reading, shopping and taking in the sights and sounds of Sanur or inspired by its beauty you could take to a bit of photography or writing. Who knows, it could draw out the hidden artist or poet in you. Sanur also allows you the opportunity to pamper yourself at one of its many local spas. And for those who don’t like the idea of spending their holidays indoors, you may choose between scuba diving, sea-kayaking, kite-surfing, parasailing and a host of other activities that are on offer.
Although restricted to a minimum of 2 persons, the Beach Holiday offers you a change of scenery and the perfect getaway after a lengthy program.

CRB/DBS (Criminal Records Bureau) Check
It is required that participants complete a CRB/DBS (Criminal Records Bureau) check in order to take part in this project.
