What Makes This Tour Stand Out
Expert Guides and Friendly Service

Well-Curated Itinerary with a Variety of Sights
This tour strikes a good balance between cultural, natural, and leisure stops. On Day 1, you’re welcomed at the airport before visiting Uluwatu Temple, perched atop a 70-meter-high cliff with spectacular ocean views. Here, the Kecak and Fire Dance offers a lively cultural performance that’s both visually and auditorily captivating, with the dance narrating a scene from the Ramayana.
Later, you’ll enjoy a seafood dinner at Jimbaran Bay, renowned for its fresh catches and romantic setting right on the beach—perfect for unwinding after the temple visit.
Day 2 takes you into Bali’s cultural heart—Celuk Village for jewelry shopping, Tirta Empul for spiritual cleansing, and Kintamani for panoramic volcano views. The Tegalalang Rice Terraces provide that classic Bali postcard shot, with lush green terraces carved into the hillside. You’ll also visit the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, where playful monkeys and ancient temples offer both entertainment and spiritual insights.
Day 3 explores Bali’s highlands and scenic spots like Wanagiri Hidden Hills and Handara Gate, both renowned for their picture-perfect backgrounds. You’ll also marvel at the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, floating on a lake, and end the day at Tanah Lot—arguably Bali’s most iconic sunset spot.
Nusa Penida Adventure
Day 4 is dedicated to Nusa Penida, Bali’s rugged island that’s become a must-visit for breathtaking natural formations. You’ll visit Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach for their stunning rock formations and natural pools, and Kelingking Beach—famous for its dinosaur-shaped cliff face. The trip concludes at Crystal Bay, ideal for swimming and relaxing on clear, calm waters.
This part of the tour is especially praised for its spectacular scenery and the chance to witness Bali’s wilder side. Expect some bumpy rides on rugged roads and a fair amount of walking, but the views more than compensate.
