Bali Reef Restoration
Live in a beachfront bungalow in rural Bali while restoring damaged coral reefs, volunteering in a local school, and enjoying nearby waterfalls. Then hop over to nearby islands to dive with manta rays, surf in crystal blue waters, and plant mangroves to help bring the coast back to life.
Itinerary
Day 1
Meet with your group to depart from your stateside airport to head across the planet to Indonesia.
Days 2-3
Arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, Bali, and take a quick van ride to Ubud, the cultural hub of Bali. While in Ubud, you will engage in several team building activities. This time also allows you to gently settle into the time change, relaxing by the pool and taking in famous sights such as the Monkey Forest.
Days 3-11
The day opens with an early visit to a historic Balinese temple for a traditional Hindu blessing ceremony. Then, you'll head to the rural village of Tianyar, where we'll begin our service work. In Tianyar, you'll construct and deploy artificial reef structures, tutor English, work in the turtle hatchery, learn about and participate in ongoing research projects, and perform beach cleanups with locals. When not working, students are free to swim, snorkel, hang out on the beach, explore the village of Tianyar, enjoy beachfront bonfires, paddleboard, fish, or relax on a hammock by the sea. On your day off, you can choose to scuba dive at a WWII shipwreck site, enjoy a rainforest hike and waterfalls, or train in freediving and scuba diving.
Days 11-13
The group heads south to catch a ferry to the island of Nusa Lembongan. Here, we will head out with a research team to swim with, observe, and help identify local manta rays. You’ll also explore and help restore historic mangroves. The rest of your time in Lembongan will be filled with surfing, snorkeling, and enjoying tropical paradise before we head back home.
Day 14
Arrive home and talk your family's ears off with all your new stories from an adventure of a lifetime.
