Sustainability we actually practice
Our itineraries are built with SBN Foundation (Yayasan Svarga Bhumi Nusantara), a formal local partnership focused on mangrove restoration, waste, and village-led programs. Not a logo on a slide.
For companies
Sustainable team retreats in Bali, run end-to-end by people who actually live here.
Ten years of running tours in Bali, one formal sustainability partnership with SBN Foundation, and a single team handling logistics , so your People or HR team can focus on the outcome, not the itinerary.

Why Bali Eco Journeys
Credibility built on practice, not on marketing.
We're a small, Bali-based operator. What we offer companies is straightforward: a genuine sustainability practice, real local relationships, and a team that takes logistics off your plate.
Ten years of local relationships
A decade of running tours across Bali means we work with village councils, farmers, and guides directly. Your team gets access to places and people that don't appear on a booking platform.
End-to-end logistics
One point of contact, one proposal, one on-the-ground team. Transport, accommodation, meals, guides, and program flow are all coordinated so HR/People teams aren't project-managing from another timezone.
What we run
Three distinct formats. One consistent standard.
Each format can be anchored around our existing experiences, the Mangrove Day Tour, Penglipuran Village, or Foraging Tour, or built fully custom for your team.
Multi-day
Team Retreats
Immersive multi-day programs focused on connection, trust, and shared experience away from the office.
- Typically 3–7 days, mixed accommodation styles (villa, boutique hotel, or eco-lodge)
- Balance of shared experiences, unstructured time, and optional deeper immersions
- Well-suited to leadership teams, cross-functional groups, and post-merger integration
How we build it
Often anchored around one of our signature experiences, a village day, a mangrove morning, or a foraging session, with the rest custom-built to your team.
Work + experience
Offsites
Structured gatherings that combine real working sessions with meaningful local experiences, not a conference room with palm trees outside.
- Dedicated working spaces with reliable connectivity and A/V, scheduled around the day
- Facilitation-friendly venues for planning, product sprints, or all-hands sessions
- Half-day cultural or nature experiences woven between working blocks
How we build it
We plan around your agenda first. Experiences slot into free afternoons or a dedicated day, so the offsite still delivers on its work objectives.
Impact-led
CSR / Impact Days
Shorter, purpose-driven experiences tied directly to real sustainability and community work, reportable against your CSR or ESG commitments.
- One to two days, designed for larger groups or regional offices already in Bali
- Hands-on components: mangrove planting, village conservation projects, food-system work
- Debrief and documentation so the impact is legible internally and externally
How we build it
Built on our existing programs, Mangrove Day, Penglipuran Village, and the Foraging Tour, or scoped as a fully custom impact day with SBN Foundation.

Sustainability & partnership
A retreat with actual impact, not a scenic backdrop for a sustainability slide.
SBN Foundation is our formal, ongoing sustainability partner. It's a local Indonesian foundation, not a certification we bought. Working with them means:
- Community and ecological programs your retreat directly supports, mangrove restoration, village conservation, food-system work.
- Access to on-the-ground practitioners for CSR days, briefings, and post-retreat impact summaries you can share internally.
- Transparent reporting on what your retreat contributed, useful for CSR, ESG, and internal communications.
