About Me

Bali has several of the most gorgeous areas in Indonesia, including Nusa Dua where the beaches are perfection. Ubud is a magical jungle experience that fills your heart and soul with temples, rice paddy fields, incredible art, and more. Kintamani is a bit off the beaten path, but should be on more people's bucket list to explore.

Commonly referred to as Island of the Gods, Bali and the rest of Indonesia have been inhabited for over 2,000 years. Captured by the Dutch in the 1800s, Indonesia was known as the Dutch East Indies until after WWII, when it became the independent nation of Indonesia.

Bali is located in the Coral Triangle, an area that includes the waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Timor. This area is considered the “Amazon” of the seas and is important for its marine biodiversity, with 3,000+ species of fish and 500+ species of coral.

You’ll have an opportunity to explore this underwater kingdom on your own, by booking an optional snorkeling trip! Bali is a volcanic island with rugged, barren mountains, both white and black sand beaches, lush green rice terraces and great crop production.

The island produces a large rice crop, as well as coffee and vegetables. One of the highlights of our tour will be watching the sun rise from the peak of Mt. Bromo, one of the volcanoes. The infamous Bali Swing has 12 single swings (from 10m to 78m!!!), 9 cute nests, helicopter and heart rock in the jungle and huge stone over the edge above the valley with an amazing view on the canyon and waterfall. Swinging time is not limited and amount of use neither.

Here are the top 10 activities to enjoy in Bali:

Surfing in Kuta – Bali is a surfing paradise, and Kuta Beach is famous for its great waves for beginners and experienced surfers.

Hike Mount Batur – Watch the stunning sunrise from the top of this active volcano, followed by a relaxing visit to nearby hot springs.

Visit Ubud Monkey Forest – Explore this lush sanctuary filled with playful monkeys and ancient temple ruins in Ubud.

Explore the Tegallalang Rice Terraces – Take in the beauty of Bali’s iconic rice terraces, offering breathtaking views and photo opportunities.

Relax on Seminyak Beach – Known for its upscale resorts, vibrant nightlife, and beautiful sunsets.

Visit Tanah Lot Temple – This iconic sea temple is perched on a rock and offers stunning sunset views.

Snorkeling or Diving in Amed – Discover the colorful underwater world and coral reefs of Amed, a quieter area of Bali.

Visit the Sacred Water Temple (Tirta Empul) – Take part in a traditional purification ritual at this sacred temple in central Bali.

Experience Balinese Dance and Art in Ubud – Watch traditional dance performances and explore the local art galleries.

Indulge in a Spa Day – Bali is known for its luxurious spa resorts offering massages, wellness treatments, and rejuvenating experiences.

These few activities showcase Bali's diverse attractions, blending natural beauty, adventure, culture, and relaxation.

So let's get you headed to Bali the CREATIVE CONNECTION TRAVEL WAY!

Bali and Thailand was the best vacation!
Reviewed By Marysoll - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Bali | Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia
We wanted to experience Bali and Thailand in one trip and didn't know where to start. From the beginning Shayna was very helpful and knowledgeable about both destinations. We stayed in Kuta and Bangkok. Shayna put us in the hands of 2 amazing tour guides in both cities that gave us a tour of the cities, we tried some food and went to the temples. We opted for a flight to Bangkok and the process was so smooth. Shayna really handled everything. We are going to Greece, Maldives and Japan through her next and we can't wait!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ocean Eden Bay is beautiful!
Reviewed By Daisy L. - New York | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
We came to Shayna for a birthday trip to Jamaica and while we were talking, she said I have the perfect resort for you. I was a bit skeptical about it but she asked me to trust her! I'm so glad I did, the penthouse suite she upgraded us to was beyond beautiful. We have booked 5 other trips with her since and can't wait. She is such a sweetheart and very knowledgeable.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Secrets Riviera
Reviewed By Dkuchmajodi - NYC | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We initally wanted Bali but didn't factor in the long flights we would have to take. So We selected Secrets Riviera through Shayna and let me tell you: They made us feel like royalty for our honeymoon! Everything was such a smooth process: From booking the hotel, to making payments, to the airport signs, to the airport transfers, to the customer service on the resort - we had an amazing 2 weeks in Mexico and we can't wait to book with Shayna again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Paris was beautiful!!
Reviewed By MaryDC - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to France | Europe
We did a joint trip to Paris and Rome. All we knew is we wanted it to be wine catered! Shayna outdid herself with the wine tastings and cooking classes we took in both cities!! We truly enjoyed our 2 week vacation through Shayna. We are going to Sandals next in Barbados.

Client Testimonials

Royalton Chic was amazing!
We chose Shayna to book Royalton CHIC in Cancun for our girls trip! She made sure we understood the difference between Diamond Club and not having it. We tried without Diamond Club for 1 night and we upgraded the next day and had a much better experience! We can't wait for our Jamaica trip next month!
