Message from Diane:

After 36 years of specializing in custom-designed trips to Bali and other areas of Indonesia, I am retiring and closing Bali Barong Tours (effective June 30, 2024). I will be forever grateful to my wonderful, intrepid (in the best sense of the word) clients for their loyalty over the years. I am honored that you have allowed me to share my love of Indonesia with you.

The Bali Barong Tours website and email addresses will stay online through the first quarter of 2025. If you would like a referral to another Bali specialist, please send an email to: diane@balibarongtours.com and type "Referral Request" in the subject line.

Terima kasih & all the best for your future travels,,

Having traveled to Bali and other parts of Indonesia over 30 times, I've been fantasizing about what my dream trip would look like - if time and finances weren't an issue.

Across the Pacific Ocean, north and south of the equator, in Southeast Asia, lies the world's fourth most populous nation - Indonesia.

Indonesia is a country of fantastic cultural diversity. Made up of over 300 ethnic groups and 17,000 islands, this emerging nation offers a myriad of treats for adventurous travelers.

The jewel of Indonesia is the fabled island of Bali. For such a small island there is much to see and do. Bali is a magical place, full of secrets. The Balinese people are warm, welcoming and glad to share their Hindu traditions, culture and spirituality with visitors. The colorful dances, entrancing music and unique artwork of Bali are not to be missed.

For the active traveler, Bali offers surfing, trekking, mountain biking, volcano climbs, diving, snorkeling, river rafting and much more.

Shopping in Bali is out of this world, with everything from quaint, inexpensive souvenirs to fabulous, high quality works of art.

Spa treatments are incredibly inexpensive in Bali, through both hotel spas and local spas.

The stunning scenery found throughout Bali, and the rest Indonesia, makes this corner of the world a real paradise for photographers.

The key to designing a perfect trip to Bali is not just knowing what hotel you want, or what activities you want. The key is knowing where to find the elusive, magical places and experiences that Bali has to offer. We know how to do that. So, let Bali Barong Tours make your dream trip to Bali come true.
