BaliTrekk is the latest venue to be developed by Ecofieldtrips. The location is ideal with huge open areas for camping and direct access to the forest and river, waterfalls, Mt Batur and a host of excellent treks. Options to complete full Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (D of E), National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) and a variety of adventure, CAS and field trip programs in a safe and clean environment makes this one of the most versatile and affordable school venues in Bali.
