Impact 🌎

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.

9 Day Bali Intro

I just finished the tour and it was a blast. Well balanced itinerary, great locations and my leader Courtney was the best. Thanks again for everything and a shout out to Courtney for making this trip special and memorable 🤍 I especially enjoyed the home visit with the lovely Balinese family which is something very unique to this trip. Also the scuba diving in Gili T is not to be missed, it was one of the coolest things I have ever done! Value for money is also really good; you will not regret travelling with intro.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Snakefruit. So yummy
Pros
  • Lots of activities
  • Safe travel
  • Awesome leader
Cons
  • Nothing!

Must do tour for solo travellers

My experience on the Bali intro 12 day tour was exactly what I wanted, from the write up of the day to-to-day interary excited me enough to spend my hard earned cash and jump onboard, little did I know exactly how great this tour would be.

From surfing, sunsets and beach clubs to learning Bahasa, temple tours and creating Canag Sari in Canggu to snorkeling the Gili meno statues, karaoke, bicycle riding and bar crawls in Gili T. Villa life, rice paddies, waterfalls and the incredible people of Lovina to the ultra chilled, bohemian and spiritual vibes of Ubud which included a once in a life time trek up Mount Batur and the cheeky monkeys of the city there's a variety of activities to get you living the island life of Bali.

My group and tour leader Courtney Harvey was 1010.
Courtney is so personable, chill and a top tier organised bestie - her service and enthusiasm for Bali, the tour and intro travel is second to non.

My group was a dynamic bunch of amazing people I will treasure and keep in touch with for a long time to come as well as Courtney. The group consisted of a mixed age range from 18-46 but, don't let that put you off you're surrounded by like minded people throughout and create amazing bonds within days.

I highly recommend intro travel and the tours they have to offer, it was bitter sweet to depart from the tour but it is not a goodbye it is a see you later ✨

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Go solo, you form a bond with everyone on the tour practically straight away. If you go in a group you might close yourself off from creating connections with everyone on the tour
Pros
  • Trying things I wouldn't have normally done
  • History, culture and local lifestyle
  • Variety of activities and places visited
Cons
  • Leaving the group

Bali Intro

Just completed the Bali 12-day intro and had an amazing time.

Courtney was our guide and she was lovely, fun, informative,e and always looked out for everyone making sure they were having a good time. I loved the whole trip but my favorites were surfing and the outdoor cinema on the beach experience!

I would definitely recommend this experience :)

Bali Experience

I have to say this was one of the best experiences I have had! First time doing a vacation with an organized tour and that was awesome, thanks to our group leader Courtney, which was always there to offer support and being such a fun person.
Overall i will give the tour 5☆ with notes that for some parts we lacked a bit of quality for the breakfast and dinner.
I would say the timmings for some of the activities and travelling from one location to the other could be improved, but other than that all went fine.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Stay more!! :)) 12 days went so fast.
Pros
  • Activities
  • People
  • Accomodations
Cons
  • Breakfast
  • Timming of the activities

Unforgettable journey

First time experienced a guided trip and all I can say it’s: WOW!
Congrats to our companion and guide Courtney for leading us throughout the most exciting experiences during our 12 days of vacation, such memories we had and connections we’ve made within the group.
20 lads starting a journey on 18th of September, ending it on 29th as a big group of friends it’s something that will remain with you forever.
All the activities, parties and chats were amazing and all I can think of is the next adventure: Philippines

What was your funniest moment?
Twerking on top of Batur Volcano
Pros
  • All day activities
  • Unique places for pictures
  • Professional guiding
Cons
  • Breakfast quality

Splendid experience

I did this trip in September 2024 with two friends and our group leader was Courtney. Honestly , we couldn’t ask for a better person to enrich our tour. From staying up every night out, making a surprise birthday cake , filming us doing surf, dedicating a song for our group to dancing on top of Mt Batur she made it both fun and memorable every step of the journey. Besides making sure everyone is given proper support and their voices were heard, she also was patient and communicated in a profesional way.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you’re always up for socializing, having fun and pushing your comfort zone then this trip is right for you!
Pros
  • Energetic Group Leader
  • Great selection of activities
  • Good housing
Cons
  • Breakfast at some accommodation
  • Dead time at volcano trip
  • First night could use more activities

Wonders of Bali

I did the 12 day intro tour of Bali.It was an amazing experience.Niamh my tour guide was amazing so kind and welcoming.If you had any questions she was there to help.This tour was filled with so many diverse experiences which included a Monkey forest/Volcano sunrise trekking .Would def recommend intro travel.I was able to see a lot in thr 12 days that I was here.The transportation was taken care of.I enjoyed all the accomodations on this trip.There was also free time so you could explore on your own.My favourite part of the trip was visiting the Balianese family.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve wrecking moment was takibg the boat from Canngu to Gili island.The waters were very choppy.I overcame it by breathing in and out lol
Pros
  • Great tour leader
  • Amazing people on the tour
  • Traditional Balianese food
Cons
  • Choppy boat ride
  • Volcano hike really early
  • Food places in gili

Great tour and amazing leaders

The Bali intro with Greta and Liam in February was an absolute delight! Greta's meticulous organization made the trip seamless, turning every moment into an adventure. Her patience and helpfulness were constant, creating a positive atmosphere. Greta's local recommendations during free time were perfect. Both Greta and Liam were welcoming, making everyone feel like part of a travel family. Greta went beyond in organizing post-tour plans with me. Every second was memorable – highly recommend this incredible journey! 👏🏼🌴

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not worry about a thing. Everything is so well organized all you need to do is show up.
