Hi there, we are Danny and Amblin, the travel-loving couple behind Daamtravel. We created this trip because we believe travel is the best way to connect with the world, meet new people, and create unforgettable memories. Our style is bougie backpacking, exploring with a backpack while still enjoying comfort and local experiences. If you’re ready for an adventure with like-minded travelers, we would love for you to join us!
We created this Bali journey for travelers who want it all: adventure, community, and a little luxury in the mix. You’ll wake up early for a sunrise trek up Mount Batur, scooter through lush rice terraces to the sacred Tirta Empul Temple, and swing out over the jungle at Tegalalang. We’ll snorkel with manta rays at Nusa Penida, wander the vibrant stalls of Ubud Market, and learn to cook Balinese classics in a hands-on class. There’s time for ATV rides through the countryside, monkey encounters in the Sacred Monkey Forest, and nights out dancing at Seminyak’s hottest spots. All along the way, we’re balancing backpacker exploration with comfort — staying in stylish digs, sharing street food feasts, and making real connections with like-minded travelers who love to experience the world the Daamtravel way.
Touch down in paradise! After arriving at Ngurah Rai International Airport, we’ll roll into Seminyak, Bali’s chic coastal hub known for its stylish boutiques, buzzing beach clubs, and vibrant energy. Settle into our home base then enjoy some free time to dip your toes in the pool or wander the lively streets. Tonight, we’ll come together for a welcome dinner at the hotel, where we’ll kick off the adventure, meet the crew, and get hyped for the unforgettable journey ahead.
Fuel up with breakfast before we hop on scooters for a day of epic Bali exploration! First stop: Tirta Empul, a sacred water temple famed for its holy springs and centuries-old purification rituals. Next, we’ll cruise to the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terrace, where lush green steps stretch across the valley. Don’t miss the legendary Bali swing for those must-have photos. Lunch is at Cretya Ubud, an oasis with jungle views, before we chase waterfalls at Ulu Petanu, a hidden gem perfect for a refreshing dip. We’ll head back to Seminyak for a free night.
After breakfast, we’re diving deep into Bali’s culinary scene with a hands-on cooking class in Ubud, where you’ll learn to whip up classic Balinese dishes and enjoy your creations for lunch. Then, it’s time to hit Ubud Market, a treasure trove of local crafts, textiles, and art. After returning to Seminyak and some free time, we’ll gather for a street food tour dinner, sampling the island’s best bites and flavors under the stars.
Today, we’re island hopping! We’ll set out early for Nusa Penida, Bali’s wild and stunning neighbor. Dive into crystal-clear waters with snorkeling stops at Manta Point, Crystal Bay, and Gamat Bay. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic manta rays! After lunch at a local spot, we’ll explore the island’s legendary sights: the jaw-dropping cliffs of Kelingking Beach, the surreal formations at Broken Beach, and the natural infinity pool of Angel’s Billabong. Back in Seminyak, the night is yours to relax or keep the adventure going.
Start your day with breakfast, then get ready to meet Bali’s cheekiest residents at the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, a lush sanctuary where hundreds of macaques roam free among ancient temples. Next up: an ATV ride through rice paddies, jungle trails, and muddy tracks. Embrace your inner explorer and get a little wild! After returning to the hotel and some downtime, the night heats up with an optional night out at Mexicola, Seminyak’s legendary party spot.
Rise and shine for a true Bali bucket-list moment! We’ll depart at 1:30 am for a sunrise trek up Mount Batur, one of Bali’s sacred volcanoes. Watch the island awaken from the summit and enjoy breakfast with panoramic views. Afterward, we’ll chill out at two of Bali’s most beautiful, less-traveled beaches — Green Bowl and Nunggalan — where turquoise waves and dramatic cliffs await. Lunch back at the hotel, then free time to relax, recharge, or treat yourself to a spa session before our final night together.
After a week of adventure, today is all about soaking up those last Bali moments with the Daamtravel crew. Start your morning with a rejuvenating Balinese massage at our accommodation, letting the island’s traditions ease any travel aches. The afternoon is yours to relax by the pool, explore Seminyak’s boutiques, or revisit your favorite beach spot. As the sun sets, we’ll come together for a farewell dinner at the hotel. Share stories, laughs, and gratitude for the friendships and memories made on this bougie backpacking journey.
On our last morning, enjoy breakfast and soak up the final moments in Bali before checking out. We’ll transfer as a group to Ngurah Rai International Airport, saying goodbye to new friends and an island that will forever have a piece of our hearts. Thanks for joining us on this bougie backpacking adventure — see you on the next Daamtravel trip!
