","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times.

The crossing can experience some rough seas, so if you suffer from seasickness please be aware and prepare. Sometimes, due to extreme weather, all speedboats are canceled, and in this situation, it may be decided to reroute the trip to overnight in Amed on the way there. If this occurs on the way back, there are two options:\n1. Spend another night on the Gili Islands\n2. Go on a shorter boat transfer over to Lombok and get a flight back to Bali instead. Your Pack Leader will discuss the best options with your group if this does occur.\n"},{"question":"How much should I budget per day for extras?","answer":"We recommend budgeting 300,000-400,000 IDR, the equivalent of 20-25 USD per day.\n\u00a0\n"},{"question":"What fitness levels do I need for this trip?","answer":"We recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness. The most challenging activity on this trip is the Mount Batur climb, which is about a three- to four-hour walk up a steep hill in the dark (which is why we recommend bringing a head torch!). Hiking shoes are recommended to navigate the loose rock and sandy terrain. Overall, the trip is relatively relaxed.\n"},{"question":"Do I need to be a confident cyclist? ","answer":"On Day 9, there is a 10-minute bike ride between the hotel and the snorkeling jetty \u2013 a journey of around 2.3 kilometers.

While they\u2019re often marketed to visitors in Bali, we choose not to promote them due to serious animal welfare concerns.\nInvestigations by Oxford University and animal welfare organizations such as World Animal Protection and PETA have found that almost all kopi luwak production involves keeping civets in small cages and feeding them unnatural diets. These are nocturnal, solitary animals, and the conditions cause significant suffering \u2013 even when the coffee is labeled as \u201cwild-sourced.\u201d\nWe want to make sure our adventures are ethical as well as enjoyable, so we\u2019ve chosen not to feature kopi luwak on this itinerary.\n"},{"question":"What will the hotels be like?
