One Week Ecotourism Program in Bali, Nusa Penida

About this tour

Spend seven days across Bali and Nusa Penida working alongside conservation teams on habitat restoration projects. You'll plant roughly 70 coral fragments and 10 mangrove saplings—tangible additions to the islands that outlast your stay. The program pairs hands-on environmental work with cultural exchange: teaching at local schools, joining community beach cleanups, and learning how residents protect their ecosystems. All accommodation, meals, transport and snorkelling gear included.

Highlights

• Plant 70 corals and 10 mangroves as your permanent contribution
• Teach at local schools and spend time with island children
• Guided habitat tours led by practising conservationists
• Snorkel reefs and explore two distinct island environments
• Beach cleanup participation with local teams
• Private bungalow, vehicle and motorbike for the week
• One hosted local BBQ dinner included

What to expect

Mornings typically involve structured conservation work—wading into shallow waters to plant coral, or positioning mangrove seedlings in protected zones. Afternoons shift toward community engagement: school visits, informal time with local families, or guided walks through different terrain. You'll snorkel regularly, seeing firsthand the reefs you're helping restore. Evenings offer downtime at your bungalow or exploration of nearby dining. The pace is steady but manageable; no extreme fitness required. Expect to be outdoors most days, getting wet and muddy, with plenty of interaction rather than passive observation.

Good to know

Seven nights in private accommodation with breakfast and lunch supplied. One evening includes a hosted local BBQ; arrange other dinners independently from local suggestions. Bring sun protection and reef-safe sunscreen. Your own motorbike and private vehicle available daily. Public transport nearby if needed. Suitable for all fitness levels; families with prams or strollers accommodated.
