7 Days in Bali – Where Adventure Meets Serenity

Absolutely! We designed this package specifically with first-timers in mind. Bali is one of the friendliest, safest, and most welcoming destinations in Southeast Asia, making it perfect for your first big adventure abroad. Our team handles everything from airport pickup to hotel check-ins, and our guides speak fluent English. You’ll have 24/7 support from Amigo Excursions, so you’re never alone or confused. Plus, Bali’s infrastructure is great for tourists—clean accommodations, reliable transportation, and English is widely spoken in tourist areas. We’ve also balanced the itinerary so you get adventure without feeling overwhelmed. Think of us as your travel best friend who’s done this a hundred times and knows exactly how to make your first trip absolutely perfect.

Bali is beautiful year-round, but the absolute best time is during the dry season from April to October. These months give you sunny days, clear skies for that epic Mount Batur sunrise, and calm seas perfect for water sports and island hopping. July and August are peak tourist months, so expect bigger crowds but also the most vibrant atmosphere. If you prefer fewer tourists and don’t mind occasional rain showers, the shoulder months of April-May and September-October are fantastic. The wet season (November-March) brings afternoon rain, but mornings are usually sunny and everything is lush and green. Plus, you’ll get better deals and fewer crowds. No matter when you come, Bali has magic to offer—just pack accordingly!

Great question! The Mount Batur trek is definitely doable for anyone with moderate fitness levels—you don’t need to be an athlete or experienced hiker. The climb takes about 1.5 to 2 hours up a volcanic slope with some rocky sections, but the path is well-established and our experienced guides set a comfortable pace with plenty of breaks. Yes, you’ll be hiking in the dark (which is actually kind of cool with headlamps!), and yes, your legs will feel it, but hundreds of first-time trekkers do this every single day and absolutely love it. The key is wearing good sneakers with grip, bringing a light jacket (it’s chilly at the top!), and remembering why you’re doing it. When you reach that summit and see the sun rise above the clouds while you’re eating breakfast cooked by volcanic steam—trust us, every single step is worth it. Plus, those hot springs afterward feel absolutely incredible on tired muscles!

For sure! We totally get that everyone’s travel style is different. While we offer the Nusa Penida adventure or the relaxation day as the two main options, we can absolutely work with you to create something that fits your vibe better. Maybe you want to visit the Instagram-famous Lempuyang Temple (Gates of Heaven) instead? Or perhaps you’d rather do a cooking class to learn Balinese cuisine? Want to add scuba diving certification or a sunrise yoga session? Just let us know what excites you when you book, and we’ll make it happen. Some customizations might have an additional cost depending on the activity, but we’re super flexible because this is YOUR adventure. The whole point is making sure you come home with the exact experience you dreamed of.

Pack light and breathable—Bali is tropical, so it’s warm and humid year-round! Here’s what we recommend: comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots for Mount Batur, flip-flops or sandals for the beach, lightweight clothes (think cotton and linen), swimwear (you’ll need it almost daily!), a light rain jacket just in case, sunscreen (seriously, the tropical sun is strong), insect repellent for jungle areas, and a modest outfit for temple visits—shoulders and knees should be covered, and many temples provide sarongs if needed. Don’t forget your camera or phone with extra memory because you’ll be taking hundreds of photos! Also bring a reusable water bottle, any personal medications, and maybe a small dry bag for the water sports day. Pro tip: leave some space in your luggage for all the beautiful souvenirs you’ll want to bring home from Ubud’s markets!

Yes! Bali is one of the safest tourist destinations in Asia. The Balinese people are incredibly warm, welcoming, and protective of visitors—tourism is their main industry, and they take pride in making sure guests feel safe and cared for. Violent crime against tourists is extremely rare. That said, like anywhere in the world, use common sense: don’t leave valuables unattended on the beach, be aware of your surroundings in crowded markets, and avoid unlicensed taxis. With Amigo Excursions, you’ll have trusted drivers and guides throughout your trip, which adds an extra layer of security. We also provide 24/7 emergency support, so if anything feels off or you need help, we’re just a phone call away. Most travelers say they feel safer in Bali than in many Western cities. The biggest “danger” you’ll face is probably a cheeky monkey trying to steal your sunglasses at the monkey forest!

Indian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when you land at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali. The process is super straightforward—you’ll pay around USD 35 (or equivalent in other currencies) at the immigration counter, and they’ll stamp your passport with a 30-day tourist visa. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and has at least two blank pages. Keep some cash handy (USD works perfectly) for the visa fee. The whole process usually takes 20-40 minutes depending on how many flights have just landed. Alternatively, you can apply for an e-Visa online before your trip if you want to skip the airport line. Either way, it’s easy-peasy and nothing to stress about. Our airport representative will also be there to assist you if you have any questions!

You’ll love the food scene in Bali! Balinese cuisine is flavorful, fresh, and surprisingly diverse—lots of rice, noodles, grilled meats, fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and aromatic spices. Popular dishes include Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Mie Goreng (fried noodles), Satay (grilled skewers), and fresh seafood BBQ. And yes, because Bali sees tons of Indian tourists, you’ll find Indian restaurants pretty easily, especially in tourist areas like Seminyak, Kuta, and Ubud. Most hotels also offer familiar options like vegetarian meals, roti, dal, and even some North and South Indian dishes. Plus, if you’re vegetarian or have dietary restrictions, Bali is super accommodating—just let us know your preferences when booking and we’ll make sure you’re well-fed and happy throughout the trip. The tropical fruit alone (mangosteens, dragon fruit, fresh coconuts!) is worth the flight!

Absolutely! Bali has excellent internet connectivity, especially in tourist areas. All the hotels and resorts we include in this package offer free WiFi, and you’ll also find it in most cafes, restaurants, and beach clubs. For staying connected on the go, we highly recommend buying a local SIM card at the airport (brands like Telkomsel or XL have tourist packages with data for around $10-15). Your Indian phone should work fine if it’s unlocked. Having data is super handy for Google Maps, sharing those epic photos in real-time, and staying in touch with family back home. That said, we encourage you to unplug a little too—some of the best Bali moments happen when you’re not staring at a screen. But don’t worry, you can totally post that sunrise from Mount Batur while it’s happening because even the volcano has good signal!

This depends on your personal shopping and dining style, but here’s a rough guide. Your package includes breakfast daily and all major activities, so you’ll mainly need money for lunches, dinners, drinks, souvenirs, and any extra treats. Budget around $30-50 USD per day per person for meals and snacks if you eat at mid-range restaurants (a nice dinner might cost $10-20 per person, a beer or cocktail is $3-6). If you plan to shop at markets or buy art, bring extra—Ubud’s markets are dangerously tempting! Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels and fancier restaurants, but carry cash (Indonesian Rupiah) for smaller shops, warungs, and markets. ATMs are everywhere and usually have reasonable fees. Also budget for tips—tipping isn’t mandatory in Bali but is greatly appreciated. A good rule is $3-5 per day for guides and drivers. Oh, and bring a little extra for that gorgeous handmade sarong or silver jewelry you’ll definitely fall in love with!

Of course! Seven days gives you an amazing taste of Bali, but we totally understand if you want more time in paradise. Many travelers add extra days to explore areas like Canggu (the hipster surf town), Amed (for world-class diving), Sidemen (off-the-beaten-path rice terraces), or even take a side trip to nearby Lombok or the Gili Islands. Just let our team know when you book, and we can help arrange additional accommodation, activities, and transportation. We can also help with extending your internal itinerary—maybe you want an extra spa day, a cooking class, or more time at the beach. Extensions are flexible and can be tailored to what you want to see and do. Remember, your Visa on Arrival gives you 30 days, so you’ve got plenty of time to really sink into island life if you want to!

No worries at all! Bali is incredibly accommodating when it comes to dietary needs. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose intolerant, or have specific allergies, we’ve got you covered. Just let us know your requirements when you book, and we’ll inform all the hotels and restaurants we work with. Many places in Bali specifically cater to health-conscious travelers, so you’ll find tons of options for plant-based, organic, raw, and allergen-free meals. Ubud especially has an amazing healthy food scene with juice bars, smoothie bowls, and vegetarian cafes everywhere. During tours, our guides will always make sure you have suitable meal options. Indonesian food naturally has lots of rice, vegetables, tofu, and tempeh, so vegetarians especially find it easy. And don’t worry—we’ll make sure you never go hungry or feel limited. Good food is part of the Bali experience, and everyone deserves to enjoy it safely!

Definitely! Bali is one of the best destinations in the world for solo travel. The island has a huge community of solo travelers and digital nomads, so you’ll never feel lonely if you don’t want to be. Our package works perfectly for solo adventurers—you’ll have your own accommodations (or you can request to be paired with another solo traveler to save costs), and during group activities like the Mount Batur trek or water sports, you’ll naturally meet other travelers. Bali is also incredibly safe for solo travel, and the locals are genuinely friendly and helpful. If you prefer your own space, that’s totally cool too—some people come to Bali specifically for solo reflection and healing. Either way, having Amigo Excursions means you’re never truly alone; our guides become like friends, and we’re available 24/7 if you need anything. Plus, traveling solo means you can customize your Day 6 exactly how YOU want it without compromise. It’s empowering and absolutely doable!

The local currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), and honestly, dealing with all those zeros can feel like Monopoly money at first—10,000 Rupiah is only about 65 cents USD! While Rupiah is what you’ll need for most transactions, US Dollars are widely accepted at hotels, tour operators, and larger establishments. We recommend bringing some USD cash (in good condition, no torn bills) and exchanging it for Rupiah once you arrive. You’ll get better exchange rates at official money changers in tourist areas than at the airport. ATMs are everywhere and usually the most convenient option—just notify your bank before traveling so your card doesn’t get blocked. Credit cards work at hotels, fancy restaurants, and bigger shops, but always carry cash for markets, small warungs, and tips. Pro tip: use a money belt or hotel safe for larger amounts, and only carry what you need for the day. And yes, you’ll feel like a millionaire when you withdraw 1,000,000 Rupiah from the ATM!
