    Lawrence Blair to lead exciting adventures at Capella Ubud

    The eight-night expedition invites guests to explore the wild side of Bali and Flores

      Capella Ubud, Bali and Kudanil Explorer have teamed up to offer an exclusive eight-night expedition that takes guests from the heart of Bali to the wild untamed shores of Flores Island. 

      Leading this adventure is renowned explorer, filmmaker, and author Dr Lawrence Blair who gained acclaim for the BBC’s Emmy Award-winning series Ring of Fire.

      Days will be spent diving and snorkelling in pristine reefs, swimming alongside manta rays, reef sharks, and sea turtles, and trekking across Padar Island’s cinematic landscapes. 

      On land, expert rangers lead a rare encounter with Komodo dragons, the world’s largest lizard. 

      The journey culminates on Banta Island, where guests sink their toes into pink-sand beaches and celebrate with a sunset beach party, cocktails in hand, as the waves lap at the shore: a fitting farewell to an unforgettable odyssey.

      A thrilling trek into the wildness of nature

      The voyage begins at Capella Ubud, where guests will be immersed in the soul of Bali, choosing between a jungle trek or a water purification ritual, both deeply rooted in local tradition. 

      An exclusive visit to a royal Balinese palace grants private access to meet the High Priest and witness an unforgettable fire dance performance, a ritual that embodies the island’s spiritual and artistic heritage. 

      A free day allows for personal exploration, whether strolling through Ubud’s bustling markets or indulging in a restorative Balinese massage. 

      As the time in Bali draws to a close, a final dinner at Api Jiwa offers a lively, interactive omakase dining experience before setting sail.

      A short flight takes voyagers to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, where they board the Kudanil Explorer. Access to the Kudanil Explorer by the cabin is an extremely rare privilege, as this intimate 8-cabin vessel is typically reserved for private expeditions. 

      This exclusive journey offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for guests to experience its world- class exploration capabilities, making “Jungle to Sea” an adventure unlike any other.

      An explorer in every sense of the word

      Lawrence Blair has spent decades unveiling Indonesia’s hidden wonders, traveling alongside legends like Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Sir Peter Scott and Richard Dawkins. 

      Along the way, he has encountered mystical traditions, untamed landscapes and extraordinary people, stories of which he will share throughout the journey.

      He will impart the knowledge he has gained throughout his career to guests as they gather at sunset for storytelling sessions that bring Indonesia’s history and myths to life, set against the starlit sky.
