Back to the Roots bukan sekadar tentang mengunjungi Bali, tetapi tentang menjelajahi Bali secara otentik dan dengan cara kamu sendiri, meninggalkan dampak positif sekaligus menciptakan kenangan tak terlupakan.
Apa yang membuat perjalanan Back to the Roots berbeda dari tur lainnya di Bali?
Back to the Roots memberikan pengalaman yang sangat berbeda dari tur Bali biasa. Kami tidak membawa kamu ke tempat-tempat wisata yang terlalu ramai, tapi justru merancang perjalanan yang benar-benar sesuai dengan keinginan kamu, supaya kamu bisa merasakan budaya Bali yang asli dan menemukan tempat-tempat yang jarang diketahui orang.
Kami bekerja sama langsung dengan komunitas lokal, pengrajin, dan mitra yang peduli lingkungan, jadi perjalanan kamu juga membawa dampak baik bagi mereka. Setiap perjalanan yang kami buat menggabungkan pengalaman budaya yang nyata, petualangan yang bertanggung jawab, dan kenyamanan, tanpa menggunakan paket tur yang sama untuk semua orang.
Dengan cara ini, kamu bisa menikmati Bali lebih dalam, berjumpa dengan orang-orang yang hangat, dan pulang dengan cerita-cerita yang tak terlupakan.
Apa arti "Perjalanan Otentik" menurut Back to the Roots?
Bagi Back to the Roots, perjalanan otentik itu bukan cuma soal melihat tempat, tapi tentang membangun hubungan yang nyata dengan budaya, alam, dan orang-orang Bali.
Kami tidak menawarkan pengalaman yang dibuat-buat, tapi pengalaman asli langsung dari komunitas lokal, tradisi, dan keindahan alam Bali. Kamu bisa makan bersama keluarga Bali, ikut upacara tradisional, jalan-jalan di sawah bareng pemandu lokal, atau sekaligus membantu proyek komunitas.
Otentik juga berarti menghargai ritme hidup dan lingkungan pulau, bepergian dengan cara yang bertanggung jawab, dan lebih mengutamakan kualitas daripada banyaknya destinasi. Kami di sini untuk membuat perjalanan yang benar-benar sesuai dengan kamu, tapi tetap membawa jiwa dan rasa Bali yang sesungguhnya.
