Gap Year Programs in Indonesia,Bali

A word of caution for your gap year in Bali: watch out for the cute but mischievous monkeys! Tiny primates aside, you will enjoy the impressive temples, the picturesque beaches, the lush green landscapes, and the friendly atmosphere. Your time spent on the Island of the Gods won’t simply be fun, it will also be impactful. After Bali gap years, you’ll walk away with experience, cultural awareness, and skills to carry with you to life’s next adventure.

Some of the best times and memories of my life

April 09, 2025by: Lauren LeMenaProgram: Australia & Bali Gap Semester | Pacific Discovery

Traveling Australia and Bali with an amazing group of people for 10 weeks were some of the best times and memories of my life. I learned so much about myself and the world, and I feel like I am leaving the program a more confident version of myself!

A Guide to Gap Year in Bali

Why do gap year programs in Bali?

The activities during gap year programs in Bali are more than just the Eat, Pray, Love variety. Sure, finding your zen with a daily yoga practice is a definite option, but so are activities such as surfing, diving, and trekking. Spend a gap year in Bali gaining valuable experience through experiential learning, internships, and work exchanges. Some examples of placements include work in hospitality and tourism, health, education, and environmental conservation (save the turtles!).

During gap year programs in Bali, don’t miss celebrating local festivals, exploring rice terraces and breathtaking waterfalls, and indulging in delicious Balinese cuisine. For a grand adventure (and a very early morning wake up call!), trek to the top of Mt. Batur, one of Indonesia’s many active volcanoes, for an impressive sunrise over Bali and beyond.
