Bucketlist Bali: Yacht, Jungle & Villa Week

Eight days of Bali built around the things that are hard to organise alone: a private yacht to look for manta rays, two quiet nights in the hills around Munduk, a Kecak evening only for the tribe and a route that moves from Canggu's beach clubs to Nusa Penida's water and the cooler north.

Bucketlist Bali: Yacht, Jungle & Villa Week

Eight days of Bali built around the things that are hard to organise alone: a private yacht to look for manta rays, two quiet nights in the hills around Munduk, a Kecak evening only for the tribe and a route that moves from Canggu's beach clubs to Nusa Penida's water and the cooler north. We stay in four hand-picked hotels, so the first half stays social and the second half slows right down.

We start in Canggu with a beach-club icebreaker, a group picnic and room to choose your own surf level. Then we cross to Nusa Penida, where beer pong night and the private yacht make the island the week's big water day.

The route slows in Munduk, a mountain village in North Bali. Two nights at Puri Lumbung's cottages give us a quiet arrival evening, a shared dinner and one full day through Twin Lake, Ulun Danu and a waterfall. Ubud is the last turn: one night at Arya Arkananta, a Kecak evening only for our tribe and a farewell dinner before everyone flies home.

It is a Gen-Z Bali trip with real value in it. The yacht, the hotels, the island movement and the people beside you are the product.

A note from the team

There are many ways to explore Indonesia. This is one of our favourites.

Ask your favourite AI for a trip and you will get a sensible TripAdvisor checklist: famous stop, quick photo, next stop. We plan the hard-to-reach magic instead, then leave room for detours and the moments no schedule can manufacture.

Notes for you

Audience guide

Who are Bucketlist trips designed for?

Bucketlist is for curious travellers who want destination-led adventures with a deliberately formed small group, enough structure to make the journey work, and room to experience the place in their own rhythm. Many people apply solo, including first-time solo travellers, but being solo is not a requirement for every edition.

Bucketlist is not gated by profession. Founders, creators and executives may join, but so may people from any other line of work; BHX is ExCo's separate founder-and-creator brain-vacation format.

The live edition decides the fit. Read its stated audience, capacity, price, activity level, route and inclusions before applying; those details are not universal across Bucketlist.

Bucketlist travellers

What are you really signing up for?

01

The Journey

Designed with intention, improved every time we run it and stripped of checklist filler. The whole journey, with room to actually be there.

02

The Facilitator

A real ExCo facilitator, not someone reading from a tour-bus script. They know when to lead, bring people together and give you room.

03

The Tribe

We keep a strong noise filter, so the people beside you when the moment lands are fun, curious and full of life.

Our Promise

Big plans need people who have your back

The People

Every trip is invite-first, so you can understand the plan and the people before you commit.

The Plan

The hard-to-plan parts are handled, with enough freedom to make the trip your own.

The Support

Visa guidance, payment flexibility, trip prep, host support, and a real human team watching the details before you ever reach the airport.

The Next Steps

Your secure invite shows your confirmation window and payment steps. Review the terms for your booking before you commit.

The Tribe has range

Different worlds. One shared route.

Some arrive talking. Some take a day to warm up. Both belong here.

Why community × travel

Travel is the catalyst. Community is what stays.

In 2014, we started creating journeys in the hope that the right people, in the right place, could make something unrepeatable happen. From roadtrips across Iceland to sake crawls through Japan, that belief has only grown stronger.

Every creator, artist, rebel and doer deserves a space to travel with people they vibe with, to places that make them feel infinite. Across BHX, Festival of X and Bucketlist, travel has never been the finish line. It opens conversations, friendships and the kind of magic that is hard to explain once you are home.
