Traveling to Bali with Spirit Tours turned out to be a life-changing spiritual journey, and big fun too! In addition to taking us to key Sacred Temples, Rev. Karen Fry taught us how to participate in their sacred ceremonies. This gave us insider passage to the innermost spaces of the temples

We stayed in incredible places, met local Balinese people, went snorkeling, shopping, ate great food, and we even took a cooking class! I highly recommend Spirit Tours and know you’ll enjoy it, too. I loved it so much, I’m planning to join Spirit Tours’ trips to Damanhur, Italy, and Egypt in 2025!

Marion and I are still feeling the impact of our trip to Bali with Karen and Spirit Tours. We can summarize the trip in two words: priceless and affordable. It was a sacred journey, filled with fun and enjoyment. There were landmarks to explore, reflecting the spiritual history of Bali and temples uniquely built, creating sacred spaces with gorgeous flowers blooming everywhere.

I must admit that, at first, I was a tag along. My wife, Marion, signed up almost immediately when the trip was announced. But something kept pulling at me and ultimately, I decided to go. It was one of those decisions I will never regret. The hospitality and friendliness of the native people, their spirituality 24/7 was infectious, the scenery, temples, and accommodations were all amazing. Thank You Spirit Tours! It is a trip we will never forget!!!

The Wild Atlantic Way Spirit Tours trip in Ireland was a deeply moving experience. I leaned into the opportunity to know and to feel the Celtic Spirit of the land and its people, guided by our spiritual Leader and our Irish guide. Spirit Tours took great care of us with lovely accommodations, delightful adventures (baby goats!!), and deeply meaningful activities (Saint Brigid’s Well).

 I found a balance of quality time and interactions with my fellow travelers, and wonderful time alone to reflect and absorb the beauty and magic of the Emerald Isle. Spirit Tours provides an experience like no other and I look forward to traveling with them again!

I learned first hand why Uganda is known as the Pearl of Africa. The people, wildlife and landscapes are absolutely wonderful! Spirit Tours planned every aspect of the trip so thoughtfully and beautifully. Overall the guides/drivers were so knowledgeable, compassionate and they really took care of us – on the roads, and assisting with our luggage. In fact, I had mobility challenges, and they ensured I was escorted when needed to reach the lodge or certain locations in safety and comfort. Every lodge was well appointed, the rooms were spacious and lovely, and they served fabulous meals. The staff members at each place were friendly, helpful and caring.

I loved the variety of experiences we had. We went on safari drives in Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park and cruised the Nile River and Kazinga Channel in boats, where we saw lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and many types of antelopes and birds. We did a walking tour in a Rhino sanctuary, and trekked the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to spend an hour with an amazing gorilla family. The second in command silverback actually brushed my leg with his body as he walked by me. It was thrilling to be up close with the large families of both species, including several babies!

We had a few cultural experiences with locals which included singing, dancing, weaving and stories. And the trip culminated in a celebration at the Murushasha Community School. The pride of the students, teachers, and community leaders was phenomenal to behold. The trip was unforgettable and life changing!

Thank you, Spirit Tours, for the life changing experience touring Bali. The trip was curated beautifully with gorgeous and comfortable hotel accommodations, delicious meals, outstanding guides, fabulous drivers and special access to sacred Hindu temples and ceremonies. There was great balance between opportunities to explore the sites, down time to relax with amazing massages, pools and beaches; as well as participating in spiritual and cultural activities (group time, making floral offerings, traditional dances, receiving bracelets from Hindu priests). 

As a solo traveler, I felt welcomed, safe, and included in all the activities. I made lifelong friends. Spirit Tours owner, Karen Fry, does an outstanding job of working with locals to create a fabulous experience. It was fun and deepened my spiritual understanding of reverence and devotion through interacting with the Balinese people.
