'This was my first holiday with you, to Bali and the first time I travelled overseas without a friend/partner. The destination, resort, co-ordinators and people were fantastic. I had a fun and memorable holiday, meet a great group of people (who I will keep in contact) and look forward to going on another one soon.'

This was my first time in Bali and I had a great time. The Padma Resort is outstanding. The rooms, grounds, pools, food etc were all terrific. I didn't expect to enjoy the white water rafting but it was a highlight. The group were easy to get along with. I'll go again.

'One of the best holidays I have ever had. Never really wanted to go to Bali but thought I would dip my toe in a solo traveler's holiday and found I didn't want to leave.'

'Just returned from a fabulous Bali resort holiday with a great group of people. The Padma Resort was amazing and the food excellent. Enjoyed some days relaxing and being pampered, and other days being much more energetic. Thanks so much Justine for organising a wonderful holiday for us. Great memories and lovely new friends :-)'

'My second Encounter tour, and the common thread is that you're with a group of people, of a similar age, who are all looking to enjoy their holiday. Makes for a good dynamic.'

'This was my first Encounter trip and first time to Bali. Had a great holiday with a wonderful group of fellow solo travelers. The balance of relaxation and organised activities was a good mix & Justine our co-ordinator was a great source of information and suggestions with a relaxed, low key approach. I would highly recommend Encounter Travel and look forward to my next trip!'

'This was my second trip to Bali with Encounter and I enjoyed it even more than my first trip (which was great!). The Padma is a very relaxing place to stay. Having a terrific group of solos to interact with enhanced my experience significantly. I should add that the dinners organised by Justine at some amazing venues were also pretty special.'
