Highlights

Snorkelling with turtles

Slip into calm, crystal water and drift over coral gardens where turtles cruise unbothered. Join a morning boat to Turtle Point or swim from the east coast, float alongside these gentle icons, then rinse off with a beachside coconut.

Iconic viewpoints

Chase horizons from hilltops and cliff edges: in Lombok, greet sunrise over Rinjani from Pergasingan and catch golden hour at Merese and Malimbu. On the Nusas, gaze down Kelingking's 'T-Rex,' Diamond Beach, Devil's Tears, and Blue Lagoon.

I went to Bali with Ace Travel Experiences

I went on the Bali Island Hopper trip in September 2025 and I can honestly say that it was one of the best trips of my life. Having never flown outside of Europe, it was comforting to know that the reps Ruby and Jay were on hand to help with any questions. I couldn't thank Jay enough for encouraging me to face my fear to scuba dive for the first time, and Ruby for being so warm and welcoming and treating me as a friend, rather than just a guest on the trip. Thank you Ace for such an amazing experience!

Just book it, no regrets!

I did the Bali Island Hopper in September and absolutely loved the snorkelling, Gili T was amazing! Seeing the manta rays was probably the best experience I've ever had in my life! Jay and Ruby were incredible. Will absolutely be booking another tour with Ace!! All the accommodations were impeccable and everything was so so so well organised!

I couldn't recommend Ace more...

I couldn't recommend Ace more! From start till end it was the best time of my life! I decided to go with a group to start my travels as booking/organising can be overwhelming and I'm so glad I went with Ace. They do absolutely everything for you and you don't have to worry about a thing which is what I loved about it. Life changing experience!

Memories that will last a lifetime!

I can't thank Ace enough! Firstly, I was added into a group chat with everyone. This made things so much easier as it broke the ice before we met each other. From there everything was effortless as all the activities & accommodation were booked so I didn't have to lift a finger! Overall, it was an amazing experience and all I can say is 'Book that trip'.

Best trip of my life!

This was my second trip with Ace and once again, it was incredible! It's perfect if you want to travel but don't feel confident going solo. I met so many lovely people and had the best time. The places we stayed in were super clean and comfy too. Thanks again, Ace – can't wait for the next one!
