Trek Through a Rice Terrace

Along with majestic Hindu temples, Bali’s rice terraces are one of the island’s icons.

Walk through the picturesque terraced rice fields, see the daily life of resident farmers, and learn about the traditional and ecologically sustainable irrigation system will bring you closer to the authentic Balinese way of life.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace in Ubud is one of the most recognizable rice fields, but also the most visited. Jatiluwih is the perfect choice for those who want to get away from the crowd. Located in the height of 700 meters above sea level, these UNESCO-protected fields offer a dramatic and truly exotic landscape!

A trip to the Gili Islands

Although an overnight stay at Gili Trawangan was enough for us, people stay there all Summer. It’s a beautiful place to explore and get away from the craziness of Bali.

Gili T is the biggest island of the gili islands, and has more of a party scene, where as Gili Meno & Air are more for people who want something a bit more quiet and secluded. There’s also Lombok island, which is a short boat ride from the Gilis. There’s volcanos to climb, waterfalls and swimming holes to discover. While the beaches, surfing and parties are fantastic, there is much more to Bali than this.

It’s like tropical paradise.

Ubud Monkey Forest

At the end of a short walk through an easily navigable forest (in the village of Patdangtegal) lies the Ubud Monkey Forest. This monkey forest is a centre for wildlife conservation and is particularly important to the village. The monkeys here are all well fed and well taken care of; it’s a pleasure to see them in their natural habitat.

Eat all the smoothie bowls

I feel like you wouldn’t be doing Bali right if you didn’t try one of the famous smoothie bowls found all over the island. I could probably live off them if given the chance, plus they’re the perfect refresher from the heat! The fruit over there is some of the freshest and most flavorful I have ever tried.

Ujung Water Palace

Located in eastern Bali, this water palace is a beautiful complex of pools, fountains, delightful wildlife (plant and animals), and a lot of Balinese buildings and structures that’s bound to impress even the most unimpressionable of travellers.

Built in 1909 (well started then anyway, it was completed in 1921), the water palace is still in excellent state today – to the delight of locals and visitors alike who are more than welcome to explore the palace to.

Watch Kecak Fire Dance

Your visit to Bali won’t be complete without seeing a Kecak Fire Dance, one of Bali’s most unique art performances that is accompanied by of 70 men who create music with their vocals.

Hear the men chant Cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak, in rhythm, over and over again while the dance takes you through the famous epic Hindu story of Prince Rama and his rescue of Princess Sita, who is kidnapped by a demon.

The performance starts at 6 pm every evening. It is very popular and always oversold. Make sure you’re there on time to get a seat.

Mount Batur

When planning a visit to Indonesia’s most active volcano, there is no better time to go than at sunrise or sunset. Many tour companies offer day-trip excursions that last between 6 and 10 hours for a guided hike up to the volcano’s summit.

Taking in the volcanic activity as you go along and then back down for a meal at the base of your towering trek.

Tukad Cepung Waterfall

Tukad Cepung waterfall was probably our favourite on the trip. We’d gone expecting light rays, but it wasn’t to be that morning!

Find somewhere reasonably dry for your things and step into the stunning falls. This one gets busy, so again, all the more reason to visit while everyone else is heading home! We’d gone expecting light rays, but it wasn’t to be that morning!
