Gap Year Programs in Bali,Indonesia

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.

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.

Namastay is exactly what you might be saying after your gap year in Bali!

Great experience ever!

September 19, 2025by: Sarah Williams - AustraliaProgram: Legend Diving's Marine Science & Diving Internship
10

I did a marine conservation internship at Legend Diving and it was an incredible experience. The most powerful part was seeing marine life up close and knowing I was actively helping them. Planting coral felt like I was contributing to a real, living ecosystem, and the feeling of seeing a manta ray or a sea turtle in the wild after learning how to identify them was just pure magic!! The team was fantastic and made the learning feel both fun and meaningful. If you're passionate about marine conservation and want to do more than just observe, I would highly recommend this internship. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.
