Bali is an Indonesian island known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs. Flying into the island you will be met with clear water, jungle covered land and more islands than you can count.
Our first few days will be spent getting to know your travel companions by playing games, introducing our core values and also making yourself familiar with island life in Bali. We will also manage to fit in a sunrise hike up to Batur Volcano and a day snorkeling near to Ubud.
Our partner for the animal conservation project we carry out is a non-profit organization. Here they work to save, protect and improve the lives of all animals in Bali and beyond.
The organisation directly relieves the suffering of animals by providing emergency response and rescue, food and medication, rehabilitation and adoption. It practices humane population control, disease control and runs intensive education and advocacy programs for sustainable improvement to animal welfare now and into the future.
This organisation is funded entirely by donations and relies heavily on a staff of dedicated volunteers. This is where we will come in and really make a difference with the 4 days we have here.
We finish off the week with a dolphin watching tour in the waters just off the Bali coast. Here we will see dolphins duck and dive in and out of the water and playing with the boats.
