Spend a day touring Ubud & surrounding villages
Ubud has been known for centuries as an artists and crafts center. Verdant terraces, sculptured a thousand years ago are still planted and lovingly cared for by hand.
Explore the Borobudur temple complex
Naturally the main reason for visiting Borobudur is to see the awe-inspiring temple complex. The monument features the largest and most complete collection of Buddhist relief sculptures which feature on the walls of its seven terraces.
Cycling at Jatiluwih rice terraces
Cycle through colorful Balinese towns to the village of Jatiluwih (meaning 'really, really beautiful') which is famous for its magnificent panorama of the rice field terraces in this area.
Try snorkeling on a Gili Islands boat tour
The Gili Islands are made up of three main islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. You are provided with snorkeling equipment, towels and water. You can also arrange to do some diving if you wish.
Experience the sun rising over Mt Bromo and climb to its crater
Overlooking the mountains, watching the sunrise, you will experience one of the most awe-inspiring and memorable vistas in the world. From here you may wish to venture in to the old caldera and climb to the crater of Mount Bromo itself.
Trek up to the Ijen crater
The trek up the volcano leads you to a spectacular view point for the eerie turquoise crater lake. Wafts of multicolored smoke drift upwards from beneath you and all along the shoreline are bright yellow sulfur deposits creating a barren but beautiful landscape.
Ascent of Mount Agung
Mount Agung is Bali's highest and most sacred mountain. At 3,142m its peak can be seen from right across the island and the Hindu population all line their beds toward it and sleep with their heads pointing in its direction as a sign of respect.
