A Thrilling Tour to Indonesia's Most Beautiful Islands: Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience, Seaside Glamping and Relaxation in a Beachfront Villa (INDONESIA TRIP - PART I)
Away from the hustle and bustle of Bali, embark on a dreamy adventure through Indonesia’s hidden paradises. Our adventure starts with an unforgettable liveaboard boat tour in the Komodo National Park 🏞 where we'll encounter the famous Komodo dragons 🦎 , pink beaches 🏝 and stunning landscapes. 🌄 Experience beachside glamping in rustic yet charming huts at Le Pirate Island where we can go snorkeling, paddle boarding and fully soaking in the island life. To conclude our journey we will head to Lombok, "Bali's little (or actually bigger) sister" with a relaxing stay in the town of Kuta 🌊. (For logistical reasons we might need to change our villa stay to Bali instead of Lombok) No matter if you like to chill at our private villa with pool, take surfing lessons or chase warerfalls - there's something for everyone. This trip promises a magical blend of adventure, culture, and ultimate relaxation - but most importantly: a lot of fun! 🌞 Bringing light luggage is recommended for easier transportation. 🎒 For better group dynamics, you should be approx. 25 - 45 years old. However, if you feel like you could still fit the group, please let me know as age isn't a strict criteria 🥰 the duration of the trip is as mentioned (~ 2 weeks) but start date is flexible for now (not before 11th May 2025)
About Me: Hi, I'm Ellis, (35) and along with my partner Mario, we've explored around 30 countries over the past few years. My passion for travel drives me to share these adventures with others, inviting fellow explorers to join me/us on our journeys. Originally from Italy 🇮🇹 and now working as a waitress in Austria 🇦🇹, I grew up in the beautiful and world-famous Dolomites 🏔 but my heart longs for the ocean and warm climates. 🌞🏖 While I truly love beach getaways, I also enjoy the occasional city trip. 🏙 I love travel planning and consider myself quite an expert in it, so I'm usually taking care of all the planning and itineraries during our trips and help families/friends with it. Relaxing on the beach is nice, but once in a while I’m equally excited for a fun night out and hitting the dancefloor. 💃🏻🍹🪩
During our trip, we will experience a variety of accommodations to enhance our adventure: ▪️Liveaboard on a Phinisi: A traditional Indonesian sailing ship, providing a unique and luxurious way to explore the Komodo National Park. Rooms will be shared with 1 or 2 other tripmates. All rooms on the boat will have seaview and a window. The stay includes full board with all meals, airconditioned rooms, as well as drinking water, coffee/tee, snorkeling gear, towels etc. (Most probably this is not a private trip, so there might be other travelers on the same boat.) NO WIFI on board! ▪️Hotel/Hostel in Labuan Bajo: Eventhough there would be dorms available, we will sleep in a private double/ twin room to ensure a quieter ambiance and better relaxation. On the rooftop restaurant we can enjoy breakfast/lunch/dinner and some drinks and occasionaly also live music (no meals included) - airconditioned rooms - FREE WIFI. ▪️Beachside Glamping at Le Pirate Island: Enjoy charming, rustic huts right on the beach. This setup offers a blend of comfort and nature. Rooms will be shared, and the stay includes full board (buffet style) and snorkeling gear. NO A/C (only fan) - NO WIFI on the island! The ocean breeze and the fan will keep you cool at night. 🌬 ▪️Villa with Pool in Lombok: Relax in a luxurious villa with a private pool with direct beach access. Rooms will be shared with 1-2 other tripmates. No meals included, but many restaurants and cafés are in walking distance. FREE WIFI - airconditioned rooms. (For logistical reasons we might need to change our villa stay to Bali instead of Lombok) Please note that room assignments are based on availability and will be allocated randomly. If you have a preference, please let me know, but understand that specific room requests cannot be guaranteed. This approach ensures a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone. A surcharge applies if: - you want to have a private room - there are less than 6 TripMates I can give you a small discount if you want to sleep in a dorm room in Labuan Bajo. (Rates include twin/ double, or where necessary, triple bedrooms) Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
