BALI
BENOA
Bali, the famed “island of the gods” is a tropical diamond-shaped island that has been described as “heaven on earth”, forthis tiny Hindu island is blessed with an ethereal beauty and infused with a sense of mysticism. Discovered by Dutch sailors
in the early 1600’s, it was then ignored by the colonial powers until the early 20th century. Bali is the largest Hindu outpost
in the world outside India and everyday life revolves around the Hindu religion.
The Balinese, who embrace the Hindu religion, are a most devout people where a large part of their lives is dedicated torites and ceremonies aimed at maintaining harmony in this world. With over 20000 temples on Bali there are almost daily
festivals featuring such traditional dances as the Barong or Kecak dances. Although modern life and tourism have taken theirtoll, Bali remains one of the most harmonious and paradise – like cultures in the world. It is a land of sparkling rice terraces,
majestic volcanoes and deep ravines. It is also a land of extraordinarily artistic and creative people.

This tour will end at approx 17h at the airport€90
First stop on this tour is Batuan village a traditional rural community, which is noted for its artwork and a style of painting
which originated in the 1930’s and had a major influence on Balinese art. These paintings are mostly of mythological andreligious subjects painted in great detail on a dark coloured background. Founded in 1022 AD the village upholds Balinese
customs and folklore and a visit to the house compound is a window into the traditional way of life of the Balinese people
and their homes. Houses in Bali consist of several buildings, each with a specific purpose. The building to the east will be
used to make offerings to the Gods while the building to the south will be used as a kitchen. Parent’s will occupy the west
building while the north building is for the children. Spirituality is everywhere in Bali and Hindu people build a family temple
in the northeast area of the house for daily religious rituals.
We will next visit Sebatu the tranquil water temple, one of the most beautiful and least visited temples on the island. The
temple is built alongside a holy spring where Balinese people fetch holy water for their religious rituals and ceremonies. The
tradition of holy healing water derives from the legendary conflict between the King Mayadenawa who used his powers to
dabble in Black Magic and the God Indra who put a stop to this evil doing by creating a sacred healing spring. There aremany Holy Spring temples in Central Bali, but this one is without doubt the most attractive. People from all over the island
make regular pilgrimages to Holy Spring temples like Tirta Empul. They seek purification and healing in the many pools andsacred springs, healing of both spiritual and physical ailments.
The tour continues with a visit to the Kintamanai area in Bali’s central highlands. Here you will see enjoy a view on Mount
Batur, an active volcano which last erupted in 2000.

LOVINA BEACH
North of Bali, the Lovina tourist area stretches over 12 km and consists of a string of coastal villages: Kaliasem, Kalibukbuk,
Anturan, Tukad Mungga, collectively known as Lovina. Lovina’s black sandy beaches are quite lovely, the sea is very calm here
and safe for swimming. The atmosphere on the beach is one of laid-back tranquillity with colourfully decorated traditional
outriggers called perahu dotted along the shoreline. The village of Kalibukbuk is regarded as being the centre of Lovina and has
many bars, restaurants and shops. Located at the end of Jalan Binaria Street (Dolphin Street) you will find the statue of adolphin and Binaria beach one of the most popular beach locations.
Lovina beach is also the gateway to West Bali National Park, the only national park on the island. The park was established asan Indonesian National Park in 1941. One hundred and sixty species of bird life have been recorded in the park including
endangered species such as the Bali Starling which is nearly extinct. The starling is Bali’s only endemic vertebrate species andthe reason why the park was created in the first place. Mammals found within the park included Banteng, a species of wild
cattle from which the familiar Bali cows are descended as well as Javan Rusa and Indian Muntjac deer. Wild boar and Leopard
cats are both quite common but seldom encountered.
The Bali Barat Park is mountainous and consists of primary monsoon forest, mangrove forest, lowland rain forest, savanna, sea
grass vegetation, coral reefs, sandy beaches and both shallow and deep sea waters.
As the Bali Barat park is a protected area, only a small percentage of the total surface area of the park is open to visitors and all
visitors are escorted by an official Park Guide.
An ideal spot for snorkelling and diving is Pulau Menjangan which boasts colourful coral reef gardens and limpid water.
ULUN DANU TEMPLE
By motor coach and on footMinimum 15 participants, no maximum
Duration 4h30
€68
Ulun Danu temple is dedicated to the water goddess Dewi Danu and attracts pilgrims from all over the island; they come toworship the deity in the hope of ensuring a plentiful and steady supply of water.
Set against a dramatic back drop of some of the highest peaks in Bali, the temple seems to emerge from the waters of Lake
Bratan and float on the surface as if by enchantment. The serene, deeply spiritual atmosphere that pervades the temple
complex enhances the impression of being in another world, a threshold between the sacred and the profane. The complex
consists of four temples each one with its own specific deity. Lingga Petak is dedicated to Siva, Penataran Pucak Manggu to
Vishnu, Terate Bang to Brama and Dalem Purwa to the goddess Danu.
The Ulun Danu Temple is one of the iconic landmarks of Bali, so much so that it is even depicted on the 50.000 rupiah bill.
Your guide will tell you many interesting stories about the temple and accompany you on a fascinating journey of discovery,
exploring Balinese culture and spirituality.
On the return trip there will be a photo stop at the Buyan and Tamblingan Twin lakes. The site will give you an overview of the
volcanic heartland of Bali, the two crater lakes being situated in the caldera of the now extinct Bedugul volcano. The twin lakes
were originally one big lake, but in 1800 a landslide separated the lake in two. At an altitude of nearly 4000 ft., this is the heartof Bali’s farming area with coffee plantations, vegetable fields and traditional rice paddies covering the nearby slopes.

Probolinggo is a port town whose main activity is fishing. It is also the nearest town of any size to the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru
National Park on the east coast of Java, and a stopping point on the way to the Gunung Bromo volcano. The area in and around thepark is inhabited by the Tenggerese, an ethnic minority, and one of the few remaining Hindu communities on the island of Java.
Mount Bromo is particularly significant for the Tengger people, who believe that this is the exact site where a prince was sacrificed tosave his family. Legend has it that the King and Queen, who were childless, climbed to the top of the mountain to beseech themountain god to give them children. Their prayer was granted on condition that their 25th child be thrown in to the volcano’s crater
as a sacrifice. When the time came the king and queen were naturally reluctant to fulfill their part of the bargain, but they were
threatened with terrible catastrophes and in the end had to honour their pledge. In another version of the story Kesuma, the 25thchild, was consumed by fire as he attempted to flee Mount Bromo. The Tengger people commemorate this event with the “Kasada”
festival , asking the Mountain god for blessings in exchange for offerings of rice, fruit, flowers and livestock which they throw into thecrater.

KOMODO NATIONAL PARK
KomodoThe park was founded in 1980 with the aim of preserving the unique Komodo dragon and its habitat. Nowadays the projectis broader in scope, and the goal is currently to protect both the terrestrial and marine biodiversity. These efforts have been
rewarded; in 1986 the park was declared to be “a Man and Biosphere” reserve and attained Unesco World Heritage status,
underlining its ecological importance.
Komodo Island is the bleak and desolate domain of a highly aggressive reptile that looks like a relic from the age whendinosaurs walked the earth. The species is notoriously fierce and the “dragon” moniker is well deserved. The Komodo
dragon which belongs to a once widespread order of monitor lizards now survives only on a handful of islands. This giant
lizard can grow up to 3 metres in length and weigh as much as 150 kg. Like other monitor lizards they have tapered heads,
visible ear-openings, and a long slender neck, round pupils and eyelids and above all very powerful jaws.
Despite their fearsome appearance they are not active hunters but patient predators. In the wild they will stalk their victim,
usually choosing prey which is weak or injured. Although they don’t breathe fire like fairy tale dragons, their saliva contains a
toxic substance and one bite is enough to injure their prey. They will then follow it around, sometimes for days on end, as itgets weaker and weaker, before eventually devouring their hapless victim. They also sometimes use ambush tactics,
knocking down their prey and using their claws and mighty tail to devastating effect.
Despite a slow and deceptively lazy gait, these giant lizards can suddenly turn aggressive and move very fast.
Dragons are very sensitive to the smell of blood which stimulates their aggression; they will immediately associate the smellof blood with prey.
All visitors are accompanied by a Park Ranger.
The Park Rangers are experienced and know how to deal with the Komodo. They always carry a forked wooden stick,resembling the Komodo’s tongue, in order to deter the reptiles if they try to approach tourists.
Smoking is forbidden in the park.
Souvenir stalls can be found at the entrance to the park.
Komodo sightings cannot be guaranteed as the animals are in their natural habitat. However, it is very rare not to catch sightof one of these giant lizards.
Depending on the time available you can choose between two different trails; a short one (about 45 minutes) or a medium
one (approximately 1h30).

Pink Beach
Pink beach, or Pantai Merah, is one of only seven such beaches on the whole planet. The amazing colour comes frommicroscopic animals called Foraminifera which leave a red pigment on the coral reefs and the name Pantai Merah literallymeans red beach. Tiny fragments of red stained coral break off and combine with silvery sand to produce the glorious pinkshade visible from the shoreline. Pink beach is bounded by turquoise blue sea and offers spectacular views of thesurrounding area, including small islands, hills and mountains. It is said to be the best spot for snorkelling in Komodo
National Park.

STAR CLIPPERSSHORE EXCURSIONSLOMBOK AND GILISLOMBOK, NUSA TENGGARA
Lombok is located east of Bali and the famous Wallace line. The Wallace line was a boundary drawn up in 1859 by British
naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, a colleague of Darwin, to highlight the different ecozones; west of the line Asiatic faunaprevails whereas to the east a mixture of Asian and Australian species are present. The island has often been ignored infavour of neighbouring Bali, but its wild natural landscapes and authenticity make it well worth a visit.
Also known as “Chili pepper island”, the territory is a study in contrasts; near the coast the land is dry and parched whereas
the centre of the island, dominated by the awe inspiring volcano Mount Rinjani, is lush and green, with rice, coffee, cotton
and tobacco plantations.
The islands’ indigenous Sasak people make up approximately 90% of the population. They are predominantly Muslim, but
their form of Islam combines some elements of Animist and Hindu-Buddhist beliefs.
A visit to a traditional Sasak village, where most people maintain their traditional way of life and unique culture, is an
essential part of any trip to Lombok. The villages are generally are located on sloping hills and the inhabitants make a livingfrom raising cattle and cultivating crops. Rice and corn, their annual crops, can only be grown during the rainy season, so
most families keep animals such as chickens, goats, cows and buffaloes to sustain them during the summer months. As analternative source of income the native women have turned to weaving, and their ikat textiles with attractive motifs are
becoming increasingly popular.
The village houses have grass roofs and are built on wooden frames with bamboo walls. Known as “Bale”, these traditional
dwellings consist of a single room used as a sleeping area and kitchen plus a “Lumbung”, a curved construction used forstoring rice. Although no nails or metal tools are used in the building of these traditional houses, they are quite solid andprovide adequate protection from the weather and wild animals.
According to Sasak tradition only women and children sleep inside the house; men and boys over 12 sleep in the lumbung oron an outside balcony.

STAR CLIPPERSSHORE EXCURSIONSGILI ISLANDS
Picture minuscule islands fringed by powdery white sandy beaches, dotted with coconut palms, and set in a turquoise blue
sea surrounded by coral reefs. The Gilis are a foretaste of Paradise offering superb snorkelling sites. The name “Gili islands«is a form of tautology as the word Gili simply means “small island» in Sasak. The Sasak people are a mainly Muslim ethnic
group which make up the majority of the population of Lombok. The “gilis” are an archipelago of 3 small islands: Trawangan,
Meno and Air, just off the North West coast of Lombok, but the name has stuck and is universally used and understood in
Lombok. Indeed, all the surrounding islands have the word “Gili” in front of their name.
The islands are a popular destination for visitors looking for a secluded, getaway. Each Gili has its own character; some havevery small “resorts”, usually consisting of a collection of huts for tourists, together with bars and restaurants, whereas others
are completely uninhabited. There is no motorised transport on the islands, only horse drawn vehicles known as “cidomo”
or bicycles. However as the islands are never more than a few km in diameter, it is quite possible to use “Shank’s pony” andget about on foot.
Diving and snorkelling in and around the Gilis is very popular due to the abundance of marine life and attractive coral
formations.
Gili Suddak
This is the perfect island getaway, a small “resort” with fine white sand, coral reefs and limpid turquoise waters teemingwith marine life including colourful tropical fish and starfish. The island has facilities and there is shade. From here the ship’s
zodiac can take you to “Gili Kadiz”, a great snorkelling site.

Gili Nanggu
Gili Nanggu is a serene island paradise where there is nothing to do except relax and unwind or maybe indulge in a little
snorkelling or swimming. There is a very simple “resort” with both shade and facilities.
Wet Landing & Star Clippers beach barbecue

Gili Trawangan, universally known as “Gili T”, is the most cosmopolitan and popular island. During the day you can explore
the island on food, snorkel, sunbathe, join a dive trip, rent a bike or take a horse carriage ride. These activities are offered by
local companies directly at the disembarkation pontoon. By night the island becomes more animated and is something of a“party” island, with all the local restaurants and bars open and the appetising aroma of fresh snapper, grouper and tuna fish
being cooked over a charcoal grill.

Gili Meno is the smallest of the three islands and offers good sport for snorkelling enthusiasts off the north east and thewest coast towards the north. There is a good chance of seeing turtles in the shallow water as both the green sea turtle andthe Loggerhead turtle are common in these waters. Gili Meno is home to a Turtle sanctuary whose aim is to save the eggs
from predators, allow them to hatch naturally and nurture the young turtles for a year before releasing them into the sea.
Injured turtles are also cared for at the facility. The sanctuary, located on the beach, consists of a variety of little pools andbaths, bubbling with filters, each containing a host of baby green and Loggerhead turtles.
