Family holiday to Bali & Lombok

On this trip: A trip designed for families who want to explore and have adventure, but not at the expense of the local residents. This trip provides maximum benefit to the local community by staying in locally owned accommodation, using Indonesian group leaders and staff - providing vital employment, eating in local restaurants and using services owned and operated by local people wherever possible. Travelling by small charter vehicle, rather than large 56-seat coach minimises our impact on local communities and means your money goes into the pockets of those who need it most - the Balinese people. All tour guides are responsible for ensuring that the guests understand the nature of the environment that they are in and minimise the impact that they may have.

Staying with a local family during our homestay has a similar benefit - not only does this give us an opportunity to learn about and thus appreciate the culture of Bali, but the family makes money too - and they enjoy interacting with appreciative Western visitors. Clients are made aware of local issues - religion, customs, sensibilities, how to dress etc. We want to see the world as it really is, not change it. We hope you'll join us in that.

Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us.

Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International. Plan works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems.

Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full.

Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book.
