Indonesia is a breathtaking country that enchants travellers with its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant culture. Bali, the jewel of this diverse nation, is renowned for its lush rice terraces, pristine beaches, and vibrant arts scene, where visitors can indulge in relaxation and rejuvenation. The clear turquoise waters surrounding the islands provide excellent opportunities for snorkelling, revealing vibrant coral reefs and a range of marine life, including colourful fish and graceful sea turtles. Adventurous souls can embark on sunrise hikes up majestic volcanoes like Mount Batur, where the early morning light bathes the landscape in golden hues and rewards trekkers with panoramic views. Indonesia’s culinary offerings are equally enticing, with cooking classes allowing visitors to learn the secrets of traditional dishes like nasi goreng and satay, all while savouring the fragrant spices that define Indonesian cuisine. With its rich wildlife, diverse ecosystems, and a myriad of activities that celebrate both nature and culture, Indonesia invites travellers to embark on an unforgettable journey of exploration and discovery.

Gabriela Porto – June 2024

The Bali trip was very well organised, with a great itinerary and Sicilia was the best tour guide we could have asked for, always looking out for everyone and making sure we had the best time.

Evielei Thorpe – June 2024

This trip was truely one of the best experiences of my life, meeting and getting to know all the other girls who I can now call my friends is insane. Got to explore Bali to its fullest safely and in the best way possible all thanks to Nikki who planned and took us through it all making sure we were accommodated for every moment of the day always considering and offering different options that we might like to do. None of this trip would’ve been possible without her and she was the best guide I could’ve hoped for and now I get to look back on this trip in awe

Sophie Herrmann – August 2024

just came back from a bali trip with issy as the host. and i just had the most incredible time – not only was plotpackers so organised and on top of everything which made traveling so stress free – issy our guide was the most amazing kind person to have on the trip. this was such a nice way to travel not having to organise anything and just know that you have new besties. issy looked after us every step of the way, which made my experience so much better having someone there i could trust. can not recommend plotpackers – or a trip with issy more!!! thank you all again

Ali – August 2024

I just had one of the best trips ever and it was only possible and it was made even better because of the trip leader, Issy.

The entire trip was extremely well organized which made it stress free. There were free days in between all the travel so we could rest up and do our own thing.

Although I was in a foreign country “alone” I never felt that way. The group leader, Issy, was very welcoming and made sure nobody felt alone. I highly recommend
going on trips she’s hosting.
