Extra Night of Accommodation

Extra Night of Accommodation
Arriving early or departing a few days after your program finishes? IVHQ makes it easy to be flexible with your arrival and departure dates by offering extra nights of accommodation that you can pre-book now.

You will be accommodated in the same volunteer house that you will be staying during your time on the program, so you can settle right in with no need to be moving around.

It is important to note that due to high capacity during the period from June to September, the local team requests that volunteers only arrive on Sundays to receive an airport pick-up. As the volunteer house cannot accommodate additional nights for early arrivals before Sunday. If you happen to arrive earlier, you are welcome to arrange your own accommodation until Sunday when you can meet the local team at alternative pick-up locations. This also applies after the program, as check-out is scheduled for Saturday.

Each private room accommodates up to two people and features a king-size or double bed, ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and towels.

In the evening, you will meet your group for the first time with a sunset rooftop drink before enjoying an included welcome dinner together at the hotel.

Day 2 – Canggu: Go Surfing!
Surf’s up! Time to hit the waves. Our tours specialise in finding non-touristy areas for you to experience Bali. Today, you will have the opportunity to opt in to surf away from the crowd with one of our expert instructors.
The rest of your day is free for you to chill on the beach, join a yoga class or one of the many unique workout classes, or catch some more waves. During dinner, you will have the chance to check out your surf images and enjoy your final night in Canggu.

Day 3 - Canggu to Pemuteran
This morning, you’ll have a scenic drive from Canggu to Pemuteran, a charming coastal village known for its tranquility and natural beauty. The journey takes you through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of rural Bali and lush greenery. Upon arrival in Pemuteran, check into your eco-lodge and enjoy a free afternoon to relax and explore. Unwind on the serene beaches, take a stroll through the village, or simply relax at your accommodation.

Day 4 - Pemuteran & Menjangan Island
Get ready for a big day of exploring the surrounding reefs of Menjangan Island. Menjangan Island is part of Bali West National Park which extends from the mainland. You will spend the day snorkelling around the reefs which are beautiful and home to an array of underwater life. If the tide allows it, you will have lunch on the island and may even spot some native deer who live on the island. During the trip we’ll also visit the amazing Biorock Project – the largest coral planting project in the world!

Day 5 - Pemuteran to Ubud
Today, bid farewell to the seaside village of Pemuteran as you set out on a journey to Ubud. Your first stop is the stunning and hidden Banyumala Waterfalls, where you’ll have the chance to marvel at the cascading waters and lush surroundings. Here, you’ll meet a local family who will share their time-honored coffee-making traditions, a craft they have perfected over nearly a century.
After lunchtime, continue your journey to Ubud, known for its vibrant arts scene and lush jungle backdrop. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation and enjoy some free time to explore Ubud’s bustling markets, serene temples, or simply relax and soak in the unique atmosphere of the town.

Day 6 - Ubud: Water Temple & Rice Terraces
Experience the best of Ubud. Start your day by visiting the Monkey Forest Temple to meet some furry friends. Next, you will head to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, a popular Instagram spot. After that, you will visit a sacred water temple to make an offering and take part in a water purification ceremony.
The rest of the day is yours to explore further, whether it’s visiting coffee plantations to try the world’s most expensive coffee, trying out the famous Instagram swing, taking a yoga class or having a relaxing massage.

Day 7 - Ubud: Sunrise Hike of Mount Batur
You will be waking up early in the morning to hike Mount Batur, which can only be described as otherworldly. You will take a reasonably short but steep hike to secure a great spot at the viewpoint, where you will witness the sunrise and enjoy a well-deserved cup of coffee. With perfect weather conditions, it will be an unforgettable experience, almost like being on Mars!
After sunrise, you will head over to the crater’s edge, where you’ll have a 360-degree view of Batur Lake and the incredible surrounding landscapes and villages. Following the hike, you’ll have the rest of the day to relax back in Ubud.

Day 8 - To Sanur, Nusa Penida, Sunset at Crystal Bay
Today, you will head to Sanur, where you will take a short ferry to Nusa Penida. After checking into a boutique hotel, you will explore the best of Nusa Penida. Get your camera ready, as you will visit the famous photo spots at Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel Billabong! The day will end with a beautiful sunset at Crystal Bay.

Day 9 - Nusa Penida: Snorkeling Trip (often with Manta Rays!)
Today, you will board a private boat to explore the breathtaking tiny bays of Nusa Penida. Your captain will take you to the best spots for snorkelling with the opportunity to see Manta Bay, exotic fish, turtles, and more. The highlight of the trip is visiting Manta Bay, which has one of the highest populations of Manta Rays in the world. Snorkelling with the Mantas* is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that we are thrilled to share with you while ensuring it is done in an ethical way that does not disrupt the day-to-day lives of the Mantas. Afterwards, you will head over to the East side where you will visit Diamond Beach Viewpoint.
Please note: While we aim to provide the best experience, manta rays are wild animals, and their presence cannot be guaranteed.

Day 10 - Gili T Island: Bikes & Sunset Beach Clean Up
The next stop is Gili T! Famed for its snorkelling, abundance of sea turtles, and great nightlife. After a short ferry ride from Nusa Penida, you will check into your accommodation and have lunch before venturing out to explore the island. With no cars allowed on the island, you will get around by bicycle.
Enjoy the pool at the hotel beach club that overlooks the ocean, and then in the evening, join us for a sunset beach clean with the Gili Eco Trust. The evening is yours, catch a movie on the beach or experience the nightlight which Gili T has to offer.

Day 11 - Gili T: Island Hopping, Snorkelling with Iconic Underwater Statues
This morning, you will head off on our private island hopping trip to visit all the famous sights of Gili T. Our itinerary includes swimming with turtles, the famous underwater statues, and exploring coral reefs. The evening is free for you to explore, so make sure to check out some of the cool restaurants and hip reggae bars in the area.

Day 12 – Back to Canggu for Goodbyes
Today, you’ll leave the idyllic Gili T and board a boat to return to the mainland of Bali to end your tour. You will be transferred back to Canguu where the tour began.

Please note that the bus will arrive in Canggu at 14:30 (ETA). 

If you are planning to join this tour before or after your volunteer program, please note that the tour dates may not align exactly with your project start or end date. You may need to arrange and cover the cost of additional accommodation and transport (such as flights, trains, or transfers) to get to your project meeting point or return location. Our team will be happy to advise you on what’s needed, but all extra arrangements are your responsibility to book and pay for.

Extra Nights of Accommodation

Extra Nights of Accommodation
Arriving early or departing a few days after your program finished? IVHQ makes it easy to be flexible with your arrival and departure dates and offers extra nights of accommodation that you can pre-arrange before you depart. 

You will be accommodated in the same volunteer house that you will be staying during your time on the program so you can settle right in with no need to be moving around. Please note that the maximum you can book for is one day before or after.

It is important to note that due to high capacity during the period from June to September, the local team requests that volunteers only arrive on Sundays to receive an airport pick-up. As the volunteer house cannot accommodate additional nights for early arrivals before Sunday. If you happen to arrive earlier, you are welcome to arrange your own accommodation until Sunday when you can meet the local team at alternative pick-up locations. This also applies after the program, as check-out is scheduled for Saturday.

You will start your trip in the coastal town of Canggu, famous for its surfing and world-class beaches – Echo Beach and Batu Balong. The streets are lined with some of the best restaurants in Bali, hip bars, and amazing local markets. Your hotel is located in the middle of town, within walking distance of the beach.

In the evening, you will meet your group for the first time with a sunset rooftop drink before enjoying an included welcome dinner together at the hotel.

Day 2 – Canggu: Go Surfing!
Surf’s up! Time to hit the waves. Our tours specialise in finding non-touristy areas for you to experience Bali. Today, you will have the opportunity to opt in to surf away from the crowd with one of our expert instructors. The rest of your day is free for you to chill on the beach, join a yoga class or one of the many unique workout classes, or catch some more waves. During dinner, you will have the chance to check out your surf images and enjoy your final night in Canggu.

Day 3 - Canggu to Pemuteran
This morning, you’ll have a scenic drive from Canggu to Pemuteran, a charming coastal village known for its tranquility and natural beauty. The journey takes you through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of rural Bali and lush greenery. Upon arrival in Pemuteran, check into your eco-lodge and enjoy a free afternoon to relax and explore. Unwind on the serene beaches, take a stroll through the village, or simply relax at your accommodation.

Day 4 - Pemuteran & Menjangan Island
Get ready for a big day of exploring the surrounding reefs of Menjangan Island. Menjangan Island is part of Bali West National Park which extends from the mainland. You will spend the day snorkelling around the reefs which are beautiful and home to an array of underwater life. If the tide allows it, you will have lunch on the island and may even spot some native deer who live on the island. During the trip we’ll also visit the amazing Biorock Project – the largest coral planting project in the world!

Day 5 - Pemuteran to Ubud
Today, bid farewell to the seaside village of Pemuteran as you set out on a journey to Ubud. Your first stop is the stunning and hidden Banyumala Waterfalls, where you’ll have the chance to marvel at the cascading waters and lush surroundings. Here, you’ll meet a local family who will share their time-honored coffee-making traditions, a craft they have perfected over nearly a century. After lunchtime, continue your journey to Ubud, known for its vibrant arts scene and lush jungle backdrop. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation and enjoy some free time to explore Ubud’s bustling markets, serene temples, or simply relax and soak in the unique atmosphere of the town.

Day 6 - Ubud: Water Temple & Rice Terraces
Experience the best of Ubud. Start your day by visiting the Monkey Forest Temple to meet some furry friends. Next, you will head to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, a popular Instagram spot. After that, you will visit a sacred water temple to make an offering and take part in a water purification ceremony. The rest of the day is yours to explore further, whether it’s visiting coffee plantations to try the world’s most expensive coffee, trying out the famous Instagram swing, taking a yoga class or having a relaxing massage.

Day 7 - Ubud: Sunrise Hike of Mount Batur
You will be waking up early in the morning to hike Mount Batur, which can only be described as otherworldly. You will take a reasonably short but steep hike to secure a great spot at the viewpoint, where you will witness the sunrise and enjoy a well-deserved cup of coffee. With perfect weather conditions, it will be an unforgettable experience, almost like being on Mars! After sunrise, you will head over to the crater’s edge, where you’ll have a 360-degree view of Batur Lake and the incredible surrounding landscapes and villages. Following the hike, you’ll have the rest of the day to relax back in Ubud.

Day 8 - To Sanur, Nusa Penida, Sunset at Crystal Bay
Today, you will head to Sanur, where you will take a short ferry to Nusa Penida. After checking into a boutique hotel, you will explore the best of Nusa Penida. Get your camera ready, as you will visit the famous photo spots at Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel Billabong! The day will end with a beautiful sunset at Crystal Bay.

Day 9 - Nusa Penida: Snorkeling Trip (often with Manta Rays!)
Today, you will board a private boat to explore the breathtaking tiny bays of Nusa Penida. Your captain will take you to the best spots for snorkelling with the opportunity to see Manta Bay, exotic fish, turtles, and more. The highlight of the trip is visiting Manta Bay, which has one of the highest populations of Manta Rays in the world. Snorkelling with the Mantas* is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that we are thrilled to share with you while ensuring it is done in an ethical way that does not disrupt the day-to-day lives of the Mantas. Afterwards, you will head over to the East side where you will visit Diamond Beach Viewpoint.
Please note: While we aim to provide the best experience, manta rays are wild animals, and their presence cannot be guaranteed.

Day 10 - Gili T Island: Bikes & Sunset Beach Clean Up
The next stop is Gili T! Famed for its snorkelling, abundance of sea turtles, and great nightlife. After a short ferry ride from Nusa Penida, you will check into your accommodation and have lunch before venturing out to explore the island. With no cars allowed on the island, you will get around by bicycle.

Enjoy the pool at the hotel beach club that overlooks the ocean, and then in the evening, join us for a sunset beach clean with the Gili Eco Trust. The evening is yours, catch a movie on the beach or experience the nightlight which Gili T has to offer.

Day 11 - Gili T: Island Hopping, Snorkelling with Iconic Underwater Statues
This morning, you will head off on our private island hopping trip to visit all the famous sights of Gili T. Our itinerary includes swimming with turtles, the famous underwater statues, and exploring coral reefs. The evening is free for you to explore, so make sure to check out some of the cool restaurants and hip reggae bars in the area.

Day 12 – Back to Canggu for Goodbyes
Today, you’ll leave the idyllic Gili T and board a boat to return to the mainland of Bali to end your tour. You will be transferred back to Canguu where the tour began.

Please note that the bus will arrive in Canggu at 14:30 (ETA).

Bali Yoga and Meditation Week

Bali Yoga and Meditation Week
Our immersive Yoga and Meditation Week in Bali is the perfect opportunity to dive into ancient practices that promote well-being and inner peace. Yoga offers more than just physical postures—it's a holistic journey to balance stress, anxiety, and promote healing. This week, you'll learn to master essential techniques with the help of expert instructors, setting the stage for a revitalized body and a calm, focused mind.

What you can expect:

  • Transformative Practices: Beyond the poses, delve into the different paths of yoga and meditation, discovering tools to reduce stress, calm your thoughts, and enhance your mental clarity.

  • Mindful Meditation: Develop self-awareness and sharpen your focus through daily meditation sessions that encourage deep introspection and reveal new insights into your life’s purpose.

  • Lifelong Benefits: Take home the gifts of better health, a clearer mind, and a renewed perspective on life. This retreat promises long-lasting rewards that will continue to enrich your life even after you leave Bali.

Weekly Schedule: Monday to Friday

  • 6:00 AM: Start your day with an invigorating hour of yoga, followed by 30 minutes of meditation to set the tone for the day.
  • Post-Session: Enjoy fresh tropical fruits and tea, then relax for the remaining of the morning
  • 12:00 PM: Lunch break—a delicious opportunity to fuel up and recharge.
  • 4:00 PM: Afternoon session of yoga and meditation (1 hour + 30 minutes) to center yourself and unwind from the day’s activities.
  • Post-Session: More fresh fruits and tea before embracing your free time for self-reflection, journaling, or exploring the serene surroundings.
  • 5:00 - 6:30 PM: End the day with dinner at the volunteer house, where you can bond with others and reflect on the day’s practices.

It is important to note, this schedule can be changed and/or amended depending on weather conditions, local conditions and unforeseen circumstances.

Maximize your time in Bali by immersing yourself in this transformative week of yoga and meditation. Leave with a healthier, more balanced self and lifelong practices that will continue to enhance your well-being long after your journey ends.

Important Notes:
  • The Yoga and Meditation Week is an optional add-on, extending your stay by one week. If you're volunteering for two weeks, you’ll be hosted by the local team for a total of three weeks. 
  • If you're joining the Turtle Conservation project afterward, a transfer from Ubud to Nusa Penida will be required, with a fee of US$72 covering the boat ticket and transportation.
  • Volunteers who aren’t attending a program the following week will need to check out of their accommodation on Saturday.

Want your airport drop off organized for you for the end of your IVHQ Bali trip? We can book an airport transfer for you from your volunteer accommodation back to Denpasar International Airport (DPS) at an affordable price. 

Without knowing what the right price is to pay in Bali for an airport transfer, you can easily get overcharged, or spend a long time trying to haggle a decent price. Enjoy a stress free ride back to the airport arranged by our local team. 

You’ll be picked up from your volunteer accommodation at your chosen time, and driven directly to Denpasar International Airport (DPS) with plenty of time for your flight. Transfers to other destinations can also be arranged if you are heading somewhere else. 

If booking with another person, only one person needs to buy this upgrade and please contact your Program Manager to inform who the other volunteer is that will be using this upgrade.
