Tru Exclusives
WAYAN'S TRADITIONAL COOKING CLASS: One of our very best TruExclusives is our legendary temple guide and masterchef Wayan! Friend and TruFam member for years, he’s practically a celebrity when it comes to our Bali tours. After an accidental meeting on a rainy day in Bali we met Wayan, many years later he’s been teaching our TruFam how to master the art of cooking up traditional Indonesian cuisine in his family home. Is there a more authentic experience? Probably not. We’ve worked with Wayan for years, and he only takes us to the best of the best. His infectious smile really is the TruExclusive itself, but to top it off the food is out of this world. We spend the day checking out the markets and visiting the insta worthy rice paddies. Because really have you even been to Bali if you didn’t get a pic at the rice paddies?
MOYO ISLAND: With only 50 tourists allowed to visit a day. It’s paradise. Crystal clear waters, untouched waterfalls. A dream destination. We take you there by boat for the day where we meet a group of locals who take us on a kick ass bike ride into the heart of the island. If you’re looking to go off the beaten path and see Indonesia in all its glory - MOYO IS THE PLACE TO BE. Not many people can say they’ve been to Moyo, but hey, the TruFam can.
LIVE-ABOARD BOAT: A TruExclusive like no other, 3 days 2 nights on our private live-aboard boat bound for the Komodo Islands. We’re taking you to some of the most scenic islands in the whole of Indonesia. Totally off the beaten path. Swim in the salt lake crater on Satonda Island, snorkel at Manta Point, trek up to Gili Lawa for a viewpoint like no other. Visit Pink beach before we enter the prehistoric world of Komodo Dragons. Inhabiting only 4 islands in the world, seeing Komodo Dragons in the wild really is a once in a lifetime experience. Sleep under the stars, sail the seas, dine onboard with your TruFam for 2 nights watching the sunset go down…beer in hand on your own private boat. What’s more exclusive than that? -
