Erawan Travel Ventures - Babes in Bali Tours

Erawan Travel Ventures - Babes in Bali Tours Welcome to "Babes in Bali" Tours. More than just a holiday – an experience of a lifetime! And you’ll get all of that on a Babes in Bali excursion. That’s my job!

We believe that travel should incorporate fun and adventure, relaxation and exhilaration, learning and growing but most of all it should be a unique experience that holds many memories. Back in 2002, I organized and escorted my first Babes in Bali adventure. Having fallen in love with Bali in 1983, I knew it was the perfect destination for a group of adventurous, fun loving, risk taking women. You see, there is no other destination in the world like Bali. Stunning scenery, colourful markets, unique culture and spirituality, glorious spas, luscious restaurants, greener than green rice terraces, shopping to die for and of course the most gentle and hospitable people on the planet. And all this at a very affordable price. My goal is to show you a side of Bali that you would not find on your own. After 27 trips to Bali and 18 Babes in Bali groups, I have personally selected the ‘Best of the Best’ of Bali to ensure your ultimate enjoyment and an unforgettable travel and cultural experience. My trips are constantly evolving as new experiences become available. I not only organize the groups but I also have the pleasure of personally escorting each one, so you know you’ll be in good hands. Bali is a magical place. I am confident that you’ll share this feeling after our first few days of exploring the countryside and getting to know the people of this mystical isle. The best part of these groups is that they are small…just 15 - 18 participants…allowing you to enjoy a unique and intimate experience. Our days will be spent walking in rice fields, exploring markets, relaxing in the beautiful spas, visiting the most sacred temples on the island, learning to cook Balinese food, watching Balinese dance performances, shopping for amazing handicrafts, experiencing the delicious food at the many local restaurants but most of all enjoying a little ‘me-time’ and making life long connections with your fabulous travel mates. You can come on your own or bring your favourite travelling companions. Either way you’ll have the safety and security of a small group and never have to worry about the details. My 30 years as a travel agent specializing in international, luxury and adventure travel have prepared me for anything and everything! Many tour leaders do not have the benefit of this valuable experience, so rest assured that I am there to look after even the smallest details and am fully prepared to deal with any challenging travel situations.

On March 19, Bali observes Nyepi (Balinese New Year), which is also called Silent Day. It is the most important spiritual event of the year. For 24 hours, the entire island shuts down, including the International Airport. No one works, visitors must stay in their hotels, there’s no traffic and the local people don’t use electricity, devices or appliances.

The lights are turned off, streets are empty, and the island turns inward, creating space for reflection, balance, and a fresh beginning for the new year.

The night before is very exciting as there are parades in all the villages, around the island. The Balinese make large scary creatures called Ogoh Ogoh’s whose job is to scare away the evil spirits that might be lurking around Bali. These creatures take months to design and build, are all made by hand and made using natural materials such as bamboo, clay, and paper. Some are 30-50 feet tall and are carried on a bamboo platform.

During these ceremonies, whole villages come together to run the ferocious Ogoh Ogoh through the streets to clear away bad karma, pent-up anger, frustration, and negative energy that has built up over the year, ahead of the day of silence when all harmony is restored and comes back into balance.

The ultimate goal is that on Silent Day if there are any evil spirits still hanging around, they’ll think that Bali is deserted and leave the island alone for another year.

Nyepi is truly an unforgettable experience. I have been so lucky to experience Nyepi the last 3 years, with groups this year and last. Many years ago we experienced Nyepi as a family and our kids still talk about it.

The date changes every year as it’s based on the lunar calendar. If you love unique cultural experiences, make sure to plan a visit to Bali during Nyepi.

Good morning from Bali 🌺 After a very short 2.5 months at home in Canada, I’m back in Bali leading another group. I just realized that since Bali reopened in 2022, I’ve organized and escorted 16 Bali groups. Most were Babes in Bali groups but I’ve also had a few Friends groups and 1 corporate group. This current group is Friends + Friends of Friends (co-ed). We’re here for 18 nights which will conclude with a 3 night stay in Ubud over Nyepi, Balinese New Year. Such an exciting time to be in Bali leading another group!

I’m back in Bali and starting with my 30th Babes in Bali group today! I had a couple of days on my own so will post some photos of those days as well. I have 2 back to back Babes tours and am thrilled to share my love of Bali with these adventurous women. I haven’t posted much on FB lately as I’ve been working long hours - but so very grateful for all the interest in my Bali tours. The 2026 tours are all sold out but let me know if you want to be in the waitlist.

I was thrilled to hear that Jatiluwih has been recognized as one of the world’s premier sustainable destinations by UNESCO! It’s a well-deserved honor for this breathtaking region. We added a visit here earlier this year on our Babes in Bali 2025 itinerary — and it’s been truly a highlight for our clients.

We’ll spend about an hour walking through these stunning rice terraces, completely immersed in nature. You’re surrounded by layer upon layer of the greenest greens — it’s the most uplifting, soul-refreshing feeling ever.
