Impact

Sustainability

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Best trip ever

My overall experience was incredible. I made the most amazing memories with the best group. We went places I wouldn't have dreamed of going thanks to intro and the best tour leader Vitor. He made the trip better than I could have ever imagined! He pulled out all the stops, looked after us and made sure that each of us had the best time. We snorkled, saw monkeys, dolphins amazing sunsets and sunrises and so much more. The trip fell on my birthday where Vitor arranged the most incredible cake! I couldn't reccomeded this trip enough and will say if you get Vitor as your tour leader you will be in for the best time! Cannot wait for the next intro tour 😁

Pros
  • Great group leader
  • Amazing sites
  • You see things exclusive to intro

Best trip ever!

Honestly had the best time of my life! For someone who has been to Bali multiple times this trip was something I'll never forget! From having such an incredible group and Leader (Vitor) to the amazing activities.
I can't really choose a favourite activity as they were all incredible in there own way, however swimming with the sea turtles and mantra rays won my heart ❤️
Having Vitor as a guide was an absolute pleasure, he went over above to dealing with our crazy group ensuring we all had a fun and were well looked after.
Thanks for an incredible time!

Adventure of a Lifetime

It can be quite complicated trying to book travel plans for somewhere half the world away, especially if you are travelling solo as you are unsure of where the best areas are and what activities you can do. Fortunately for me I was introduced to Intro Travel when I moved to Australia for a year so when my visa expired and I wanted to do more travelling I knew Intro Travel was the best place to start.

The Intro Travel website breaks everything down perfectly so that you know what the pricing is as well as what you will be doing every day. Having a full itinerary there for you is perfect so that you do not need to do any planning, the Intro Travel team does it all for you.

I booked the 12 day Bali Intro trip and from the point of booking, you are in contact with the Intro team to help get everything sorted before you even land in the country. Our group leader Craig Hewitt got in touch with us on the Facebook page and we were able to start a group chat so you can get to know the people on your tour before you even meet. They also take all of your flight details and pick you up at the airport. Considering this was my first time in Asia this put me at ease when flying in to the country as there was somebody waiting at arrivals with a huge Intro Travel sign!

From that point onwards you genuinely do not need to worry about a thing. On day 1 Craig got us all together to discuss in detail exactly what was happening on each day and where we would be and what activities we would be doing. The group leaders are there to make sure everybody gets to know each other and have a good time.

The accommodation and food on the trip are excellent and they are of a massively high standard. One thing in particular that stood out for me was the privately owned Villa in Lovina, it was absolutely stunning and a great place for some chill time with the rest of the group.

A few highlights of the trip for me would be the surfing, snorkelling and the volcano trek. These are things that many people do not get to experience so to get to do these things in such a beautiful country was an experience I will never forget! The volcano trek especially, it may be an early rise and a tiring experience but you will not regret it when you see the sunrise at the top, and the fact that there is a massage waiting on you when you get back to your hotel makes it even more worthwhile.

The culture of Bali is something that you need to dive into as well as Craig took us to the rice paddies, temples and to the monkey sanctuary. These are all places (similar to the activities) that you do not get in many other places so it is great to see how people on the other side of the world live.

One of the most worrying things about any trip is the little details that most people do not think about. This is something that Craig and all the other group leaders make sure you do not have to worry about. The group leaders will tell you where the best places are to get laundry done, where to get a cheap SIM card so you can call home and most importantly they will help you with any medical or personal issues which they are extremely professional about. What makes Intro Travel so special is that the team worries about the things you would never even think of worrying about so that if and when those problems happen you are sorted!

In terms of onward travel when the trip is coming to an end, Craig helped us look in to other Intro holidays where you could pay a deposit of £50 and the trip would be open dated for life. This is a great offer as it doesn’t force you to commit to something but you have the option to use Intro Travel again whenever you like. Craig also helped everyone with further accommodation and transport once the trip ended before we all had to head to our next destination.

I cannot recommend Intro Travel enough after going on Bali and Oz Intro, they take care of everything for you and make sure the only thing you need to worry about is having a good time!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep an open mind and be willing to do anything, especially the things outside your comfort zone!

The best tour ever!

This tour was perfect because it covered so much of Bali in the perfect amount of time. There were so many fun/ cultural activities but also time in the day to do your own activities. Every place we stayed at was beautiful and had good food choices of both local and western food. Our tour guides Candice and Meg were so friendly and made the experience so much more enjoyable! They really made sure to integrate the group and were just always there if we needed anything. I wish I could do it again!

The most incredible experience

I had the best 12 days! Everything we did was amazing, met lovely people and made memories that will last a lifetime. My favourite part of the tour was the surfing lesson and seeing the dolphins. The dolphins were phenomenal, I feel so lucky to have had this experience. I also loved going to Gili, it was absolutely beautiful. I must also add that my tour guide (Candace Grant) made the experience even more enjoyable, she was really friendly and welcoming and just so fun to be around. Overall I would highly recommend this tour.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was most nervous about the surfing to begin with, however i absolutely loved it in the end.

Pesky rats on tour

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip - our tour leader Laura was lots of fun and really helpful. She honestly made the trip the fun it was; would not have been the same without her! I got to do many amazing things I’ve never done before like see hundreds of dolphins, climb a volcano, visit the monkey forest, scuba dive, surf, visit a Balinese family, cycled around Gili T and see turtles when snorkelling! Great value for money, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, activity packed holiday.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The dolphin trip was amazing, we saw so many dolphins.

Bali Intro 12 Day

What I liked most about the trip was the dolphin tour , the local family visit and the bike tour. Everybody was really welcoming. Laura was an amazing group leader and we had a lot of fun together. The snorkelling tour was amazing and I enjoyed the Scuba diving. Laura always had an answer to our questions and even tho we asked her the same questions a hundred times she was nice and calm.
I can recommend the trip and I I just booked the Thailand tour. I hope it will be as good as the Bali Trip!!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I tried the fruit Durian at the local family visit. It tasted really funny! There were so many things I tried, that tasted really good, like the Maha Maha fish. We also tasted the local coffee and some traditional foods. It was all good.

Bali Intro 12 Day Tour

Bali Intro Review

I’ve just been on the 12 day Bali Intro tour, where I’ve been lead by our group leader Craig Hewitt. Craig was very good at making sure I arrived at the airport and had the correct information regarding airport pickup.

Once I met Craig he made me feel very welcome and it soon became apparent that he was going to be an easy going guy, full of beans and I knew that I’d be going to have a good time!

The Bali Intro 12 day tour was very interesting! It included a range of activities from massages to volcano hiking and Snorkelling to temple visits.

Craig did a great job of getting everybody to know each other with some simple, fun and effective games and everyone soon got to know each other which is really important to make sure that everyone has the best time!

Overall I would recommend this tour to anybody who is thinking about coming to Bali. I would definitely recommend Craig as a tour guide and I’d like to thank Craig and the Intro team for all the support and opportunities that they have given me.

What was your funniest moment?
When I went surfing, fell off the surf board and completely stacked it, face planted the water and got a mouth full of salt water! It was so fun!
