Welcome to Bali! As we arrive at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, excitement is already building. After meeting the SYB crew and hopping on the shuttle to our oasis in Canggu, we settle into our new home for the week. To shake off the travel, we’ll dive into a quick workout, followed by a relaxing stretch and a refreshing group swim in the ocean. As the sun sets, we toast with a few drinks and a delicious dinner, embracing the adventure-filled week ahead in paradise.
Our first morning begins with a peaceful yoga session in the stunning shala, setting the tone for the day. After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to hit Canggu’s famous beach for our first surf lesson. We’ll catch waves and then explore the beach scene, stopping by favorite spots like The Lawn and capping off the day with sunset drinks at La Brisa. For dinner, we gather at Yema, a beachfront gem offering fresh flavors and an unforgettable atmosphere as the sky fades to night.
By day three, we’ve got our morning routine down—rise early, sweat it out, and cool off with an ice bath. After breakfast, we relax by the pool before setting out for the legendary MF Boat Day. We’re headed to Nusa Penida, a hidden gem where epic views await. With our photographer on board, we capture every moment from snorkeling with manta rays at Manta Point to soaking up Crystal Beach, Diamond Beach, and the iconic cliffs at Kelingking Beach. This is the day that will stay etched in our memories.
Our next day is a bit more laid-back, giving everyone time to wander through Canggu’s beaches and shops at their own pace. By the afternoon, we’re off to Uluwatu for a mesmerizing sunset temple visit and an incredible fire show. Watching the flames dance as the sun dips below the horizon, we feel Bali’s magic take hold. We wrap up the night with dinner at Uluwatu Cliff House, known for its food and ocean views.
The following day, we head to Ubud for a day packed with adventure. We begin at Cretya Ubud, exploring the famous Tegalalang rice terraces and local markets before gearing up for white-water rafting on the Ayung River. The thrill of rafting is just the start—we’re also hitting the jungle trails on ATVs.
Our final full day takes us diving right back into the waves for another surf session, taking our skills to the next level. Then, it’s off to Finns Beach Club, where day dancing in the sun keeps the good vibes going. After soaking up the beach club scene, we’ll regroup at Oasis for a relaxed dinner. After a day jam packed day we return to our retreat for closing ceremonies and a big family dinner to celebrate the week’s adventures.
As we pack up and say our goodbyes, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve experienced. New friendships, incredible memories, and a true Bali adventure that feels like a dream. Until next time—or the next SYB trip—because this friendship is just getting started!
