The enchanting emerald green island of Bali is rich in succulent colors, sweet hibiscus, cascading waterfalls, and opulent dawns. Our in-depth cultural explorations of timeless traditions will include the classic crafts of paintings, weavings, batiking, wood and stone carvings, and silver jewelry. These arts, central to daily life, are expressed in a colorful throng of festivals and temple ceremonies
SpaFari Adventures In Bali provides our guests an
in-depth discovery of this exotic island, our visits to
off-the-beaten-track festivals, ancient mossy temples,
and sometimes to a wedding ceremony. We will visit
water palaces, museums, galleries, shops, arts and
crafts, and at each of our excellent restaurants you
will savor delicious gourmet meals, perfectly healthy
with locally grown salads, fruits and vegetables, and
featuring the "fresh-catch of the day." We explore
splendored trails that wind through tiny villages and
tiered rice fields, climbing high to majestic mountain
ranges that look down upon incredibly clear blue
lakes. Many of our treks are known only to the locals,
as we go into a typical Balinese homes, shops and little
factories of Balinese artisans, where they loom and dye
rich batike silks. There are many beautiful and
priceless objects to buy in Bali - and inexpensive
treasures. The shopping can become
contagious! Constantly there will be amazing photo
opportunities. Balmy days and star-lit evenings provide
an exquisite backdrop for our exploration into the heart
of the exquisite Balinese culture.
We will attend shadow puppet plays and visit some of Indonesias foremost performing artists in their dazzling dance and gamelan orchestra performances. Our unique fitness adventure of Island includes visits to local festivals and craftsmen in their homes - an "insiders" perspective of how art is a part of everyday life in this region of the world. Our flexible itinerary is designed to include these whenever possible.
We will visit the sacred temple of Besakih and other mossy temples. Hindu and Buddhist religions are beautifully woven into every aspect of daily life, with small temples found in almost every rice paddy, lake, mountain top and home. A Balinese spiritual experience begins each day with flower offerings to the river wearing traditional sarongs.
Other typical mornings might include yoga and meditation, followed by exciting daily hikes, through rice fields, up lush winding mountain trails and the summit of Mount Butur (5,600 feet), the mother volcano of Ubud
and around lakes and villages. We will swim in a crystal
clear river and float down beside waterfalls and springs
to our lunch destination. We will also be swimming or snorkeling, and sailing in warm tropical oceanic waters.

"BALI what a feast for body & soul! The tranquil panorama, the terrific people, the spiritual culture: all conspired to produce the best vacation Ive ever had.
We hiked through the lush landscapes, became skilled at new yoga poses, sated ourselves on fresh foods and juices, unwound during relaxing massages, visited colorful festivals and even found time for some great shopping. Our accommodations conjoined the best of privacy and comfort.
Bali was the perfect place to put Kristina Hurrells advice to the test letting go and enjoying the moment. It passed with flying colors."
