Plan to arrive well before 3pm on August 7th. Many past attendees have chosen to arrive a day early in order to get acclimated to the time change and relax before getting into an action-packed week of Bali fun.
By evening, shake off your jetlag, and break bread with your new Black Travel Fest family at a dope-themed Welcome Dinner. You can also expect to get a taste of local culture and hear some familiar beats.
Feel the exhilaration that comes with swinging over beautiful jungle scenery. Follow this up with a soul satisfying walk through the lush rice terraces that Bali is notorious for.
Later in the day, it’s gonna be your FREE time, so do what you wanna do.
Suggestion: We recommend heading to downtown Ubud to try some of Bali’s notoriously delicious restaurants for dinner.
That’s all she wrote, today, you’ll be making your way back home. Unless, you’ve made plans to go elsewhere.

On our way back to the villa, check out a captivating cultural performance that you’ll never forget.
We’ll be throwing TLC’s advice to the wind and setting out for an epic waterfall takeover.
Later in the day, we’ll head over to one of Bali’s most captivating temples, which features a beautiful jungle setting and great shopping too.
Then, you can take the rest of the day at your own pace... FREE time!
Suggestions: This is a great time to go for a relaxing spa treatment, a visit to the elephant lodge, hit the market for some additional shopping, or a number of other awesome options.
Prepare to take in the scenic views at one of Bali’s most iconic Hot Spring resorts. You’ll have the opportunity to unwind, relax, and vibe out with your fellow travelers against the backdrop of Mt. Batur.

I WANT THE bali EXPERIENCE (DOUBLE OCCUPANCY)
Hi! I'm Deirdre, the founder of Black Travel Fest.
I’ve traveled to more than 60 countries, and I've been living abroad in Bali, Indonesia for the last 5 years.
I founded Black Travel Fest with the goal of seeing more melanated travelers exploring the world and leaving no rock unturned.
I've had the great privilege of hosting more than 400 beautiful melanted travelers across more than 5 countries.
When I travel I love to get deep in the local culture, eat all the foods, dance, sing and see how much I can outgrow the old me. If you join us, be prepared to have a good time, experience a massive transformation, and probably sleep a bit less than you're accustomed to on vacation.
Meet your Host...

This experience is for you if:
...YOU want to luxuriate in the beauty of nature
...YOU love to party
...YOU are ready to grow your travel fam with like-minded travelers
...YOU enjoy discovering the culture of the places you visit
We’d absolutely love to have you! But, if your ideal vacation involves relaxing on the beach daily and sleeping in this experience is not for you. Although, we do incorporate individual exploration and relaxation time into our itineraries we do more than the average group.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Why solo travelers love us...
More than 46% of our travelers come solo, and no one is solo after the Welcome Event.
We have a Facebook chat for those attending the event.
And most people link up with folks in their home city to fly together. This means you likely won't even fly solo.
We have a Roomie Matching Program to help out solo travelers.
The match program gives you the freedom to select the double occupancy rate and keep some extra coins in your pocket. This program is available for those traveling alone, and who are willing to be matched with another traveler of the same sex.
