Trip itinerary

Day 1

Arrive at Denpasar airport where your group leader will meet you and take you to our cool Canggu hotel to check you in. You can the relax by the pool/beach or explore Canggu before we enjoy a rooftop dinner and drinks in the evening where you will meet the rest of your group.

Day 2

Today we explore the culture of Bali as we head to two of it’s most famous temples – Tanah Lot which is set on a rock formation in the sea; and the Royal Temple of Taman Ayun. In the evening we have the opportunity to take in the sunset on one of Canggu’s coolest beaches before big night out on the town in Canggu.

Day 3

On our third day we hit the beach! We learn to surf in the morning with our awesome local instructors on Kuta Beach, followed by a chilled afternoon on one of Bali’s most beautiful beaches, watching the sunset.

Day 4

It’s time to back our bags as we move location to the bohemian jungle town of Ubud – enroute to our next destination we make a stop at a beautiful waterfall to cool off. We then move to our awesome accommodation to check in, before we visit one of Bali’s coolest live music destinations for an evening of singing & dancing.

Day 5

In the morning, we head down to the local food markets to learn and observe where all our fresh ingredients come from. Our local family will explain in detail about all the ingredients before heading back to their village. Here we will learn to make some of Bali’s most famous dishes as well as Canang Sari, the flower offerings made for the God. In the afternoon we go and meet some of Ubud’s cheekiest locals at the sacred monkey forest, where it is believed the hundreds of monkeys that live there protect the ancient temples inside.

Day 6

Today we will spend the morning wandering through the scenic rice terraces of Tegalalang. Trek through the valleys and stop off at one of the many swings for photos or a cool coconut and see how these beautiful formations still play a very important role in the locals’ present day way of life. Next we visit Kintamani for lunch overlooking the active volcano Mt. Batur before heading back to pick up some souvenirs at the colourful and vibrant local market.

Day 7

It’s time to head to the islands! We catch the bus/ferry over to the stunning tiny island of Gili Trawangan. We will check in to our tropical accommodation in the heart of the island for our final few days. Once there, we spend the afternoon having a beer & chilling by the pool or explore the many beaches that surround the island! Catch a beautiful sunset on the beach before heading out for dinner . Now it’s time to party! Explore Gili’s famous nightlife in the many beachside bars the island has to offer.

Day 8

We enjoy the day island-hopping on our boat trip around the three Gili Islands. Head to some of the best snorkel spots around Gili Meno & Gili Air where you will see stunning coral, beautiful fish, turtles and coral conservation projects. Enjoy a beachfront lunch on Gili Air!

Day 9

Today we will explore the island on one of Gili’s only modes of transportation, push bike! Cycle around the island exploring different beaches, activities and take a small trek up the hill to see Gili’s only viewpoint and explore a bit of history with remnants of an old WWII bunker. Check out one last sunset before our farewell dinner and party to celebrate the best 10 days of your life!

Day 10

Check-out day! The fun doesn’t have to stop here. If you’re traveling on our expert Group Leaders will help you book everything you need to get you where you need to go! Whether you’re on to explore some more islands or head back to the airport to catch a flight, we’ve got you covered! Please note that if you plan to fly home from Denpasar that day we recommend not booking a flight before 7pm to allow plenty of time to get back to the airport.

Why should I book now?

Covid-19 threw us a curve ball and pretty much halted all travel. This means that we have a backlog of travellers, just like you, who are desperate to get out and explore the world! Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12 months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free.

As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more.

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!

But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.

And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

What happens if COVID affects my trip?

If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.

If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.

Do I need to be vaccinated to book?

As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.

What happens if I want to cancel my trip?

Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.

In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!

*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
