A weekend escape from Bali’s bustling activities and traffic jams. Board our project partners’ Sea Trek’s schooner Katherina on Saturday morning in Amed, east Bali, for a weekend cruise to the small islands stretched out along Lombok’s west coast where pristine tranquility surrounded by crystal-clear, turquoise seas is the set environment.
On board you will be treated to freshly prepared meals and sip the best cocktails east of Bali, as well as enjoying a fantastic barbecue on the beach at Dharma-Gili while the Southern Cross blinks over the bonfire. A weekend of sailing, scenery, sea activities and relaxation to fuel your batteries for a long time to come.

The night will be spent at anchor in the bay just of Dharma-Gili.
