Bali tours  are the best solution for those who are short on time and want to visit the island’s essential destinations or for those who don’t want to rent (or are afraid of renting) a motorbike in Bali.

In this article, you will learn about the  day-trip tours in Bali that allow you to experience  the main places to visit in Bali in only 4 days. In addition, I’ll recommend the order to take these  top-rated Bali tours in order to get the most out of the pickup service that most of these excursions include and the best areas to stay in Bali to save time between tours.

Apart from those 4 main excursions in Bali, I will recommend other tours you can add later to visit some of the most important attractions in Bali.

Most of them are Private Bali tours, but I’ll also recommend some small group Bali tours powered by top tour operators & local travel companies.

Best Bali Tours for those who are short on time

If you’re traveling to Bali for a short period of time and want to see the main attractions, check out these four  recommended Bali day tours.  I’ve ordered them by relevance according to my personal opinion. If you’re doing a 3-day Bali itinerary, you can do the first three Bali activities mentioned below.

Ubud and Central Bali Tour

Places visited: Ubud + Tegalalang + Tirta Empul + Goa Gajah

Language: English-speaking tour guide

Price: $84.50 per group of up to 5 people ( Check availability )

Itinerary:  On the way to Ubud, you will stop in Batubulan to witness a  traditional Barong dance  and in Batuan to see a  traditional Balinese house.

Once in Ubud, you’ll visit the famous  Ubud Palace,  where the royal family still lives, the  Ubud Traditional Art Market,  the best place to buy local art, and  Pura Taman Saraswati.  Additionally, you’ll visit the  Monkey Forest  where you can meet the funny monkeys that live there.

After lunch, you’ll visit the  Tegalalang rice fields , where you can take a photo of one of the best-known postcards of Bali, the rice terraces, and visit the  Tirta Empul  temple, a very sacred place. The Balinese go to this temple to purify themselves with the sacred water that comes out of 12 pipes located on a stone pool.

Finally, you will visit the  Goa Gajah  temple, known as the Cave of the Elephant, which is renowned for its entrance that simulates the jaws of an evil monster.

Tips:  Take this tour as soon as you arrive in Bali. It includes pickup, so if you’re in the south area where the Denpasar airport is, you will be transferred to the island’s center, saving the price of the transfer to Ubud.

If you’re doing a Bali 7-day itinerary , I recommend you ask at the end of the tour if they can drop you off in Ubud instead of returning to Denpasar, which will leave you the next day to enjoy other things to do in Ubud before hiring the next tour.

In the event that you don’t have enough time to spend a day off, I also recommend that you stay at one of the wonderful hotels of Ubud at the end of the previous tour, since you’ll be closer to the places you’ll visit on the next Bali day tour.

EASTERN BALI EXCURSION

For the second day Bali excursions, there are two options. The first one is a  Bali small group tour  that will take you to three of the most important temples on the island, while the second option, a  private Bali Tour,  will take you to only one of those temples as well as a waterfall and a traditional village.

Personally, I prefer the first tour, considering that the visit to the two temples, which is missing from the second Bali excursion, seems like something very interesting to do in Bali. Furthermore, you can still visit the most popular waterfall on the island during the Bali tour that I suggest for the third day.

Bali Tour 1st option

Places visited: Lempuyang Temple + Tirta Gangga +  Besakih Temple

Price: $73.19 per person ( Check availability )

Itinerary:  Your guide will pick you up at the hotel to start your trip to Bali’s eastern area. The first stop on this Bali excursion is the  Lempuyang temple . Good physical condition is required, as the tour involves walking and hiking up steps at this temple. Its most famous feature is the “Gate of Heaven,” from which you can see incredible views of Mount Agung.

The next visit will be to the  Tirta Gangga  palace, which stands out for its gardens full of fountains, pools and stone statues. The landmark of this garden is a pond where you can walk on small platforms as if you were walking over the water.

After lunch, you will go to the Mother Temple,  Pura Besakih,  the largest and most sacred temple of the island, which is one of the essential places to visit in Bali . The complex comprises 22 different temples and is one of the highlights of this Bali tour.

Bali Tour 2nd option

Places visited: Gianyar market + Penglipuran village + Besakih + Tukad Cepung

Itinerary:  You will be picked up at your hotel to visit the  Gianyar market  first, where you can taste the local cuisine. After that, you’ll go to the  traditional village of   Penglipuran , where vehicles are not allowed, as they try to preserve the ancestral traditions. There, you’ll visit a bamboo forest, one of the most important Balinese resources, used for the construction of Balinese houses and buildings.

To end the morning you will visit some of the 22 temples of  Besakih  and have lunch at the village of Redang.

In the afternoon, you can refresh yourself at a hidden waterfall inside a cave in  Tukad Cepung.

Tips: Regardless of the Bali tour option you choose, in order to make the most of your time, I recommend you stay in Ubud that night, so ask your Bali private driver to take you back to this city.

Bali Tours with Local Private Tour Guides to the main highlights

Places visited: NungNung Waterfalls + Ulun Danu Beratan + Jatiluwih Rice Fields + Tanah Lot

Language: Good English Speaking Tour Guide in Bali

Price: $90.20 per group of up to 5 people ( check availability )

Itinerary:  Once the driver picks you up at the hotel, the first stop will be  Nungnung  waterfall, one of the most spectacular spots on the island, with a 230-foot drop. Additionally, it’s perfect for taking a bath because there’s a deep pool at the base of the waterfall.

Later, you’ll visit one of the icons you can’t miss on your trip to Bali , the Ulun Danu Beratan temple, floating on Lake Batran. This is, with no doubt, one of the most photographed images of the island.

Next, you will visit the Jatiluwih rice fields, considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and where you can appreciate the beauty of the rice terraces. If you are doing this Bali activity during the best time to go to Bali, these fields will be a very intense green color.

Finally, you’ll head south to see one of the most awe-inspiring Bali temples , Tanah Lot. Located on an islet a few feet from the sea, it is only accessible at low tide at dusk. From here, you can see an amazing sunset that I encourage you to enjoy with a corncob roasted with hot sauce. You can find this delicacy in the many food stalls around the temple.

Tips:  At the end of this Bali tour, I recommend you stay in one of the amazing Bali hotels that are in Canggu or Seminyak to reduce travel time the next day.

Also, the activity that I suggest for the fourth day is a  Bali half-day tour,  leaving the morning free to visit Canggu beach ( a popular surfers’ destination with a very interesting atmosphere) or to visit Seminyak beach (where you can relax in one of its popular Beach Clubs).

South of Bali Excursions

Places visited: Padang Padang Beach + Luhur Uluwatu Temple+ Kecak dance + Jimbaran Beach

Price: $62 per group of up to 5 people ( check availability )

Itinerary:  The first stop on this tour is the  Pedang Pedang beach , which was popularized by the movie “Eat Pray Love”.

Afterwards, you’ll visit the  Luhur Uluwatu  temple, located on a cliff 230 feet above the sea; it is one of the most curious temples in Bali. From here, you can enjoy an incredible sunset, since the temple is located east of the Bukit Badung peninsula, so you can see how the sun sets over the horizon on the sea.

At dusk, you will enjoy a  Kecak show,  Bali’s most famous traditional dance where men seem to go into trance as they sing by the fire together, which accompanies the rhythmical movement of the Balinese dancers.

Finally, you will visit the  Jimbaran cliffs  and have dinner in one of the best places to have seafood and fresh fish in Bali.

Tips: The other Bali Tours  you can do the next day mainly start from Seminyak and Kuta, so I would advise staying in this area.

The Best Day Trips To Go on From Bali

If you are spending 10 days in Bali or more, most people choose to visit some of the Indonesian islands accessible from Bali by ferry. These are the best excursions from Bali to other popular islands:

Nusa Islands from Bali Excursions

These three islands, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida,  belong to Bali and are very close to the main island. The NUSA islands stand out for their incredible seabeds, mangroves, and idyllic beaches, so this is one of the  best day excursions from Bali.

Self Guided Nusa Penida tour from Bali

If you want to take a self-guided tour from Bali, you can take a Ferry to Nusa Lembongan, which is connected to Ceningan by bridge, and from there, take a local boat to Nusa Penida or take ferry to Nusa Penida directly.

Nusa Penida & Lembongan Tour FROM BALI

However, if you want to go with a guide and have the advantages of a small group Bali tour, I recommend this  Nusa tour from Bali.

During the tour, you will snorkel in three different areas of the island , with the possibility of seeing manta rays, turtles, and many colorful fishes. After lunch, you will embark on a kayak tour around the mangroves.

Tours from Bali to the Gili Islands

Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, known as the Gili Islands , are three tiny islands that lie off the coast of Lombok. Although these islands do not belong to Bali, the short distance from the Gili Islands to Bali makes the visit one of the most popular excursions from Bali.

Self-guided Gili islands tour from Bali

Take a ferry to Gili Trawangan or Gili Air and explore them on your own.

In terms of which Gili Island to visit, consider that Gili Trawangan is the largest and most popular for its nightlife and vibrant atmosphere, while Gili Air is smaller and quieter. The latter is where couples often spend their honeymoons, since you can find some of the best villas in Bali here; however, the prices of accommodation are higher than in the rest of the Gili Islands.

For snorkeling, all the islands are a great option.

3-day Gili Island Tour from Bali

If you prefer to take a small group Bali tour to the Gili Islands, this is the best excursion.

After being picked up at your Bali hotel, you will be taken by ferry to  Gili Trawangan.  Once there, you’ll stay at a beachfront resort and have the day off to explore the island by bike or to snorkel, with high chances of seeing sea turtles if you do it in the location shown in our Gili Trawangan guide. At dusk, head to the west of the island to enjoy an amazing sunset.

The next day, you’ll go by boat to snorkel at three different points on  Gili Air  and swim with giant tortoises. In the afternoon, you’ll be taken to a resort on Gili Air and you’ll have the rest of the day free to explore the island on your own.

On the last day, you can get up early to enjoy the incredible sunrise from Gili Air and take one last bath before saying goodbye to the Gili Islands.

Excursion from Bali to Lombok

There are many activities to do in Lombok, such as the popular trekking to Rinjani volcano in two days. However, these tours are not organized by Bali tour operators , so you must take a ferry from Bali to Lombok.

Bali tours for the most adventurous travelers

If you’re an adrenaline junkie and want to make the most of your trip to Bali, these are the  best Bali excursions you should go on. If you do, make sure to buy good travel insurance to Bali before you go.

Sunrise tour at Batur Volcano

If you like adventure and natural landscapes, you cannot miss this tour. They’ll pick you up at your hotel to take you to the slopes of the  Batur volcano , where you’ll start your way up. Although it’s not a strenuous hike, it’s necessary to be in good physical condition. Before the sun rises, you should be at the top, where you’ll see the beginning of a new day while eating banana pancakes and eggs cooked with volcanic steam.

Rafting on the Ayung River

The Ayung River is perfect for rafting throughout the year , with a class IV rating during monsoon season and a class II rating during the rest of the year. During the tour, which takes approximately two hours, you can see the natural scenery, wildlife, and exotic plants of Bali.

Diving in Tulamben Bay

On this Bali tour, you can marvel at the seabed of Bali while diving. One of the most incredible places to dive on the island is  Tulamben Bay , where you can see blue manta rays, along with octopuses, scorpion fish, tiger fish and moray eels.

You can also see the remains of the USAT Liberty, a shipwreck, close by.

If you do not have previous experience with diving, you should start with this tour, which is valid as a credit for the PADI diver course in the open sea. If you are already a certified diver, then this is your tour.

Whether you’re going to do extreme sports or not, I recommend you buy travel insurance for Indonesia. I had to use it when some monkeys bit me in the Monkey Forest of Ubud. Here you can find a 5% discount to get the cheapest travel insurance.

Other guided tours in Bali

These other  guided tours in Bali  can be interesting if you have more time there and want to learn a little more about the culture of the island.

Denpasar guided tour

During this guided tour around the capital of Bali, your

guide will take you to the  Bali Museum,  where you’ll learn more about the history of the island and can find a collection of impressive prehistoric art.

The next stop will be the  Badung market , which operates 24 hours a day, where you will find all kinds of local food.

Finally, you’ll visit the  artistic center of Bajra Sandhi,  where you’ll find wood carvings and Balinese works of art.

Guided visit to the traditional village of Penglipuran

If you choose the first option for the tour on the second day, you’ll miss the guided tour to the  Penglipuan traditional village  and to the  Tukad Cepung  waterfall; you can take this tour afterward that also includes a visit to the  Bali Swing,  a swing hanging by a 98-foot rope in the dense Balinese jungle.

Other activities in Bali

Finally, these are other Bali activities that you might find interesting:

• Biking tour to Tegalalang rice fields from Ubud
• Balinese cooking class
• Balinese Wedding – Get married in Bali

3 Best Day Trips in Bali

By Anna Chittenden

For many travelers, Bali is a dream destination, with everything from beaches to food to spirituality on the agenda. But too often, people get stuck in a rut when it comes to places to go, with Seminyak and Ubud always top of this list. How about veering off the well-trodden tourist-path to areas unknown? Hop on a boat to explore the island of Nusa Lembongan, grab a surfboard and take to the waves down in Uluwatu, or venture into the center of Bali for some unique and authentic local experiences amongst the rice paddy fields. We’ve pick out some of the best for you to add to your idyllic Indonesian itinerary.

All listings featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. If you book something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

NUSA LEMBONGAN

Looking for a laid-back island escape a stone’s throw away from Bali? Catch a boat to Nusa Lembongan, and discover wild white beaches and breathtaking beauty spots.

Crystal Bay Arrow

Immerse yourself in utter remoteness with a visit to Crystal Bay Beach. Located on Nusa Penida island, the beach has tall palm trees flanking a thin strip strip of sugary white sand and colorful boats propped up on the shore. The coolest thing about Crystal Bay Beach is getting there: on a fisherman's outrigger boat across the bumpy waves. It's perfect for those who love exploring and anyone who doesn't shy away from adventure.

Sandy Bay Beach Club Arrow

Located on the stunning Sunset Beach, Sandy Bay Beach Club is a stylish, rustic, and laid-back restaurant and bar. The food is crowd-pleasing, sure, but most are here for the views and boho-chic ambience. This place serves classics like burgers and pizzas as well as dishes like beef rendang and nasi goreng . Go for a range of starters like salt-and-pepper calamari or the Lembongan guacamole.

Villa Voyage Arrow

What first hits you about Villa Voyage is its location: on Sunset Beach on the wild and remote west coast of Nusa Lembongan island. The villa itself has a barefoot-luxury vibe that carefully mixes laid-back style with modern comforts. The villa is owned by fashion designer Farah Khan, a favorite among Hollywood stars. She's styled the villa to reflect her globetrotting tastes, filling the rooms with glamorous items like vintage Louis Vuitton monogram steamer trunks.

Jessica Puckett

Blue Lagoon Arrow

The Blue Lagoon gets a lot of attention online—travelers come from far and wide just to snap that Instagram pic. Social media aside, though, the lagoon is a truly breathtaking sight to behold. Situated on the southern end of Nusa Ceningan, it's also fairly hard to get to—your best bet is to hop on a scooter. Little to no signage on Nusa Ceningan means you might find yourself driving around for a while as you try to find your way. But that's part of the fun.

Dream Beach Arrow

Dream Beach is a picture-postcard spot with soft cream sand and dazzling aqua water. Located on Nusa Lembongan island, it still has a laid-back and undiscovered feel that attracts travelers who've really done their research. The beautiful beach is easy to get to from the island's main main road—do as locals do and arrive by scooter. Once you've parked, you'll find some simple lumbung -style accommodations near the sand.

CENTRAL BALI

Explore a different side of Bali by heading into the centre of the island. Find idyllic green rice terraces, artisans working away in small villages and restorative retreats.

Tampak Siring Arrow

Bali is known for its artists and artisans, from mask makers to woodcarvers to silversmith craftsmen. Each art form clusters in a village; Tampak Siring is home to bone carvers. Here you'll meet the people who carefully carve traditional Balinese patterns on bull and buffalo skulls. The village is pretty under the radar. We've never once seen another tourist here, but it's safe to assume that it draws creatives and collectors who appreciate the work of local artisans.

Gunung Kawi Arrow

Located half an hour north of central Ubud, Gunung Kawi is a magnificent collection of temples that were first built in the 11th-century, after Hindus migrated from Java to Bali. Commissioned by Udayana, then the king of Bali, the temples are all designed to represent members of his family. Gunung Kawi is fairly low-key—there isn't much awareness among travelers (yet). But we were beyond impressed. The temples, carved into the rocks with green foliage growing around them, look like a mystical jungle sanctuary.

Be Bali Day Arrow

Be Bali Day, a family-run operation, holds private, reservations-only cooking classes on its farm. The setting is jaw-dropping, with sweeping views of a valley outside Ubud as your backdrop. Made, the teacher, is passionate about Balinese cuisine. She carefully prepares the ingredients, stopping to explain what a certain type of produce or protein might be, and why it's important to local cooking traditions. You'll need to reserve in advance, and it's more fun to come with a group.

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces Arrow

As parts of Bali become increasingly developed, it takes more and more work to discover its truly special spots that'll make your jaw drop. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a part of the traditional Balinese subak system of farming, is one such place. The UNESCO World Heritage site requires effort to get to—just hire a private driver—but once you're here, the hiking trails and scenery are amazing.

Bali Silent Retreat Arrow

Bali Silent Retreat is exactly what it sounds like: no talking, no listening to music, just silence and the noises of nature. Nestled in the foothills of the sacred Mount Batukaru volcano and surrounded by rice fields and jungle, this retreat, an unforgettable experience, is in a world all its own. This is an especially great choice if you want to completely get away from it all—no phones or internet allowed.

A favorite with the surf crowd, the cliffside neighborhood of Uluwatu is the perfect spot to find sunset bars, hidden beaches and bohemia villas in the picturesque south of Bali.

Thomas Beach Arrow

Thomas Beach, located in the south of Bali not far from Uluwatu, is a long, sprawling, white-sand beach flanked by willowy palm trees. It's managed to keep itself a well-guarded secret, drawing only the most curious travelers. The steps down to the beach put some visitors off—those who do manage them will find all the more space to spread out and sip on fresh coconut water from one of the vendors.

The Impossible House Arrow

To get to Impossible House is an adventure in and of itself. The villa is positioned against a cliff, and you'll follow a coastal path until you arrive at the traditional wood house with a thatched roof. The stand-out feature here is its unique location: sandwiched between heavy rock formations on one side and crashing waves on the other. Impossible House is comfortable and rustic. The bedroom at the top has its own terrace—and, naturally, the best views.

Ulu Cliffhouse Arrow

This stunning area in Bali has been crying out for a stylish beach club for a while, and Ulu Cliffhouse has finally met the demand. Situated in its own spot, north of Uluwatu, the beach club has sweeping views out over the ocean and along the spectacular coast that hugs this part of south Bali. The design of the club is contemporary but at the same time almost retro, with blue and white striped sun loungers with matching umbrellas. As it’s situated on the cliff, it doesn’t have the easiest access to the beach, but there’s a stunning swimming pool for all to enjoy. Food-wise you’ve got a great choice, from shrimp and avocado ceviche to classic burgers and pizzas. Cool cocktails include ‘son of a beach’ with gin, pomello and rosemary or spiced mango daiquiri. It’s a great place to hang out at any time of the day, although sunset is when it really hits the spot. Day beds can be booked in advance online – sign me up!

Single Fin Arrow

Life in the little surf village of Uluwatu, in the south of Bali, centres around the restaurant and bar Single Fin. Located on the top of the cliff, enjoy panoramic views out over the famous surf breaks, making for mesmerizing viewing. The place opens in the morning and serves up fruit-filled acai bowls from their in-house ‘Nalu Bowls’ outpost, with people getting their caffeine fix from the ‘Revolver Espresso’ stand. Late afternoon, turning into evening is the best time to come here. Crack open an ice-cold Bintang beer while watching the serious surfers at play, while the sun sets as the backdrop. Time you trip here to coincide with their ‘Sunday Sessions’ where they bring in amazing bands and DJs from around the world to play to the sun-kissed crowd. Single Fin is a great place to come with a group of friends, and also to meet other like-minded folk on their travels.

Padang Padang Beach Arrow

Padang Padang is a small-ish beach that's the starting point to reach surf breaks, as well as a launching site for fishermen on pastel outrigger boats. The best time to come here is early in the morning, as the sun rises and before the crowds. With mounds of rocks protruding out from the smooth sand, the scenery here is lovely and dramatic. The sheltered bay makes the water perfect for a swim; you can also try your hand at surfing—there are plenty of surf schools with great instructors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do you need in Bali?

As many as you can stay for! There are countless private tours in Bali and other activities which can keep you entertained for weeks on end; although we’d love for you to stay as long as possible, a week or two should be enough to discover the best activities in Bali for you to do. However long you plan to go for, you’ll definitely want to come back as soon as possible to take some of the Bali excursions you missed out on!

What clothes do you need to pack for a trip to Bali?

The diverse weather and range of private Bali trips you might be undertaking makes it necessary to pack a variety of lightweight clothes, comfortable shoes and a swimsuit as a minimum (the latter will come in handy for many Bali activities!). This should include shorts, t-shirts, skirts and other items of loose-fitting clothing - the island is sunny most of the time, but there’s no harm throwing in a rain jacket if you happen to get stuck in a shower! Before embarking on your Bali excursions, it’s worth taking the time to research the best time to visit Bali so you can try and avoid a downpour when hoping for a bright and sunny getaway - although, we’d recommend you still pack a variety of clothes so you can expect the worst and hope for the best. It’s important to be prepared for any occasion so you can make the most of our stunning Bali tours for 2024!

Are trips to Bali family friendly?

Yes! Day tours in Bali are perfect for any family holiday, due to the diverse range of activities ranging from adventure to relaxing that are suitable for any age. With cultural sites to discover, beaches to relax on, fun filled activities to partake in and even amazing amenities at most hotels, you can be sure that most Bali tours are safe for children - although we recommend taking normal precautions with your children as you would anywhere in the world!

6. Day Trip to Luwak Coffee Plantation

Next, when you’re in Bali I recommend a visit to the Luwak coffee plantation . Luwak coffee, is a very unique coffee variety that is produced from the digestion of Asian palm civets, small mammals native to the region.

Or to put it more bluntly, the coffee is produced by collecting the droppings of a civet after it has digested coffee beans.

The trip to a Luwak coffee plantation not only provides an opportunity to taste this unique coffee but also offers insights into the coffee-making process and the chance to explore the surroundings.

During the day trip, you can learn about the entire coffee production process, from the cultivation and harvesting of coffee cherries to the roasting and brewing techniques.

One of the highlights of the visit is observing how the Luwak coffee is made. The civets eat the ripest coffee cherries and their digestive enzymes ferment the beans. The beans are then collected thoroughly washed, and processed for further refinement.

Enjoy a tasting session where you can sample a variety of coffee flavor and teas produced in the plantation. I found it a certainly unique experience, and let’s just say I think I’ll stick to my barista-made skinny cappuccino.

Wandering around the plantation is an experience in itself, offering stunning views of Bali’s lush landscapes.

There is even a super scenic swing that you can try out if you’re game!

➡️ Ubud Highlights Tour & Mt. Batur with Luwak Coffee Tasting

7. Day Trip to Tegalalang Rice Terraces 

One of the most popular Bali day trips is a visit to the beautiful Tegalalang Rice Terraces. Located near Ubud you can immerse yourself in the lush green landscape of rice paddies, a unique scene you don’t see every day!

Join a Bali day trip that takes you to three stunning waterfalls, the Tegalalang Rice Terrace (including a swing experience), and a coffee plantation, with an optional additional swing.

Begin your adventure at the beautiful Kanto Lampo Waterfall, followed by the picturesque Tibumana Waterfall, and conclude at the mesmerizing Tukad Cepung Waterfall, renowned for its captivating light effects.

Capture memorable moments at Kanto Lampo, Tibumana, and Tukad Cepung waterfalls while flying above the Tegalalang Rice Terrace on a swing.

At the rice terraces, you will meet local farmers who set up small stalls along the pathways, offering refreshing coconut water, tropical fruits, and local snacks. Take the opportunity to take a break, interact with the friendly locals, and support the community.

This day trip promises to fill your camera roll with breathtaking sights and create lasting memories.

8. Traditional Village Sightseeing Tour In Bali

One of the more memorable Bali day trips I did was a full-day bike tour through the traditional villages .

Venture off the beaten path to explore indigenous villages, including Bayung Gede Kintamani, Taro, and Keliki, and delve deep into the rich local culture and fascinating history.

Ride through picturesque landscapes including rice fields, lush rainforests, and Hindu temples.

Stop off for an authentic Balinese lunch before continuing on the journey.

Just a word of warning it will be hot, so dress comfortably, bring plenty of sunscreen and mosquito spray and loads of water!

9. Day Trip to Gili Islands

Embark on one of the most unforgettable Bali day trips as you head to the captivating Gili Islands.

The Gili Islands are a group of three islands nestled in the crystal-clear waters of Indonesia.

Leave the bustling mainland behind and set off on a journey to a tropical paradise.

To get to the islands board a speedboat from the harbour. After a 1-hour 30-minute scenic boat ride, you’ll arrive at the gorgeous Gili Islands.

Gili Trawangan, the largest of the three islands has a vibrant atmosphere, lively beach clubs, and a great nightlife scene.

Gili Air is known for its pristine beaches and stunning underwater marine life, perfect for snorkelling or diving. Finally,

Gili Meno, the smallest and most secluded of the trio, presents a tranquil paradise where you can unwind in untouched nature and enjoy the seclusion of its pristine beaches.

During your day trip, you’ll have ample time to explore the island of your choice. Relax on white sands, bask in the warm tropical sun, and take refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters. I would also recommend some snorkelling, scuba diving, or paddleboarding to explore the vibrant coral reefs and colourful marine life.

As lunchtime approaches, enjoy a meal at a beachfront restaurant, serving a selection of fresh seafood and local produce.

When it’s time to leave the islands, board the boat once again to head back to the mainland.

10. Sekumpul Waterfalls

Next on the list of the best Bali day trips is a tour of the breathtaking Sekumpul Waterfall. Your adventure begins with the smoking summit of the Kintamani Volcano and the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terrace, where you can capture stunning photos of Bali.

From there you will conquer a somewhat challenging hike that rewards you with panoramic views of surrounding valleys.

When you reach the Sekumpul Waterfall, go for a dip in the waterfall for a truly magical experience. Trust me, it will feel like you’re in a fantasy movie.

End your tour at Pura Ulun Danu Batan, a Hindu temple with great spiritual significance. Take in the intricate architecture and immerse yourself in the sacred atmosphere, appreciating the rich cultural heritage of Bali.

Visiting Bali: FAQs

Now that we’ve covered the best Bali day trips, let’s briefly run through some frequently asked questions about visiting Bali.

How many days do you need in Bali?

The number of days in Bali really depends on your personal preferences, budget, and the activities on your bucket list. 

That being said, a recommended stay in Bali is typically around 5-7 days. This will allow you to explore the island’s diverse attractions and experiences.

During this time, you can visit iconic temples like Uluwatu and Tanah Lot, explore the cultural heart of Ubud with its art galleries and traditional markets, relax on the beautiful beaches of Seminyak or Nusa Dua, and immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife of Canggu.

Tip! Looking for the best places to stay in Canggu , I’ve you covered!

You can also venture into the landscapes of central Bali to discover stunning rice terraces, waterfalls, and volcanic mountains.

If you have more time available, you can explore Bali’s neighbouring islands like Nusa Penida or the Gili Islands, or venture further to the nearby Komodo National Park.

Can you get around Bali without a car?

It is absolutely possible to get around Bali without a car, it is actually recommended.

Bali has a variety of options for getting around that can take you to different parts of the island.

Taxis are available in Bali, especially in tourist areas like Kuta, Seminyak, and Ubud. You can easily hail a taxi on the street or use ride-hailing apps like Grab . Make sure to use a reputable taxi company, I suggest Bluebird Taxis to ensure fair pricing.

Renting a motorbike is another popular choice for many travellers in Bali as it is often the quickest way to navigate through traffic. However, it can be pretty dangerous so a helmet is a must and you also need a valid international driving license.

I personally recommend arranging private drivers or booking tours to get around, as it is often the safest and most convenient option.

It’s also very important to have travel insurance that covers you. 

And lastly, exploring Bali on foot is a free and easy way to explore Bali, especially in more compact areas like Ubud or Seminyak. You can stroll through local markets, visit temples, and discover hidden gems at your own pace.

Is Uber available in Bali?

No, Uber is not available in Bali. 

That being said Grab and Gojek are widely used and provide similar services. These apps allow you to book cars or motorbikes in Bali. They are convenient, and reliable, and often offer competitive pricing. 

You can easily download the Grab or Gojek app on your phone and use it to book rides during your stay in Bali .

In the resorts, there’s Bali Sunrise Trekking and Tours in Ubud and Perama (bookable through their offices in most tourist centres or at www.peramatour.com). Else climb with Gung Bawa , a good-humoured, highly experienced and dependable guide who speaks excellent English.

Taking a yoga class in Bali is a transformative experience that combines the beauty of the island with the serene practice of yoga. As the gentle ocean breeze rustles the palm trees, you find yourself surrounded by lush greenery and a vibrant spiritual atmosphere.

The picturesque setting provides the ideal backdrop for your yoga journey, allowing you to connect deeply with nature and your inner self. The classes are often held in open-air studios or on pristine beaches, enabling you to soak up the breathtaking views while immersing yourself in the ancient wisdom of yoga.

Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner, Bali offers a wide range of yoga styles and retreats, catering to all levels and preferences.

Just like climbing Agung, climbing Gunung Batur, is one of the best Bali tours. On a clear day, no scenery in Bali can match that of the Batur area. With its volcanic peaks and silver-turquoise crater lake, the scale and spectacle of this landscape remain unrivalled.

The best way to see it is from the top of Bali’s most climbed mountain, the 1717m-high Gunung Batur (Mount Batur).

Wisps of sulphurous smoke still drift from smaller cones on the slopes of this ancient volcano, which last erupted in 2000. Given the scenery, it’s no surprise that this is one of Bali’s most popular tourist destinations.

Most only visit on a day trip but stay overnight in either lakeside Toya Bungkah or Kedisan and hike to the summit to experience the magic of the scenery at sunrise. A guide is essential for sunrise treks. Use the Association of Mount Batur Trekking Guides , which has offices in Toya Bungkah and Pura Jati.

There are several popular rice paddy walks on the outskirts of Ubud , some of which can be combined into one almost circular trek. Each has views that are perfect real-life versions of the Walter Spies-style paintings you see in Ubud's museums and galleries.

Cutting across the rice fields, the track becomes totally indistinct at times. But these narrow paths that run along the top of the dykes look out across to the amazing Gunung Agung (cloud cover permitting) as conical-hatted farmers work in the glittering rice paddies with the mountain in the background.

Protected as a marine conservation area, the reefs around Nusa Lembongan attract divers from all over the world, not least for the chance to swim with manta rays and the one-tonne legendary local giant, the mola mola (oceanic sunfish), from early July to the end of October.

The diving here is unquestionably the most dramatic in Bali, but also rarely benign, as currents and waves can be fierce. Many of the reefs are rewarding for snorkelling. Prime spots off Nusa Lembongan that are accessible from the shore if the tide is right are Mangrove Corner and Mushroom Bay.

Virtually every guesthouse and hotel on the Islands can organize trips or contact one of the several dive centres on the island. Seek out five-star PADI dive school Big Fish Diving at Jungutbatu.

Fringed by dazzling white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and reefs that teem with turtles and fish, the trio of the tiny Gili Islands just off Lombok ’s northwest coast are strikingly beautiful and have exploded in popularity.

With no motorized vehicles allowed on any of the islands (just horse carts and bicycles), and swathes of the dusty interiors still taken up with coconut plantations and sandy tracks, the Gilis are as close as you can get to living the tropical dream.

Island life here can be incredibly seductive, and most visitors revel in long days spent snorkelling the reefs, eating fresh seafood and enjoying the spectacular views, with the volcanic profiles of Bali and Lombok filling the horizon.

It's one of the most popular Bali tours, as it's possible to visit any of the three on a day trip from Bali.

Gili Trawangan is the most developed. Diminutive Gili Meno, next east of Gili Trawangan, is the smallest and quietest of the Gilis, with no nightlife except a laidback bar or two. East again, Gili Air falls somewhere in between, with plenty of restaurants and bars but a much larger population of islanders to balance out the tourist influx.

Dive deep into Balinese culture with this tailor-made trip to Bali's Culture & Gili's beaches . Visits include rice field walks, the Gates of Heaven, water temples like Tirta Empul and Tirta Gangga as well as a traditional cooking class. Your trip ends with the beaches of Gili Air and Jimbaran.

A cool, less populated landscape of morning mists and forest, inland north Bali feels like a different island when compared to the crowded southern plains. The Bedugal highlands is an area defined by mountains, lakes and waterfalls with swathes of clove and coffee plantations around hilltown Munduk.

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, an important temple and a destination for Balinese-Hindu pilgrims, is also here. In the east is the active Gunung Batur volcano where occasional puffs of smoke waft from black rock, one of Bali's most popular sunrise hikes. At its base are other walks over parched, ethereal terrain peppered with giant boulders ejected from the earth's core.

Lovina’s proximity to good snorkelling and diving sites, and as a base for day-trips to nearby waterfalls and temples are another key appeal and make this area a good spot to try different activities. The Buddhist monastery and hot springs (air panas) at Banjar, 10km west, and temples and waterfalls east of Singaraja make a good days out.

8. Explore Bali's best beaches

Lying just below Candikuning at 1200m above sea level, Danau Bratan (Lake Bratan) is the largest and most visited of the three spiritually charged crater lakes around Bedugul. Thought to be 35m deep in places. It is surrounded by forested hills, with the bulk of Gunung Catur (2096m), the caldera’s highest peak, rising sheer behind.

The trail to the summit begins at Gua Jepang, caves built by Indonesian prisoners of war during World War II, and passes through agricultural fields ending where dense forest and the ascent begins.

The last few kilometres require climbing over exposed tree roots on muddy trails and at the top is Pura Puncak Mangu, a simple temple built by the first Mengwi raja and, of course, spectacular views of the three lakes below.

Nearby in Munduk, the most accessible of several falls in the area is the pretty Tanah Barak waterfall, also known as Red Coral Waterfall or simply Munduk Waterfall.

One of the best Bali tours is exploring its landscape by bicycle. A thrilling and immersive way to connect with the island's natural beauty and cultural heritage. As you pedal along, you'll be captivated by the ever-changing scenery, from lush rice terraces to cascading waterfalls and dense jungles.

Bicycle tours are particularly popular in Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, and meander through its surrounding countryside. The iconic Tegallalang Rice Terraces are a sight to behold, with their intricate green terraces sculpted into the landscape. Take in the breathtaking views as you ride through the rugged terrain, passing by ancient temples and traditional Balinese architecture.

Questions to ask when booking bali day tours.

Based on our experience, here are some key questions travelers should ask when booking day trips in Bali:

What is included (and not included) in the tour price? Lower-priced tours offer great value but will usually be group tours in a minibus, which is not always shown in photos, so clarify this if you are wanting a private car and driver tour. Some tours appear cheap but do not include meals, such as lunch or snacks.

What languages do your guides speak? Most tour guides will speak at least basic English, but some have better English or speak other languages, including Japanese, French, German, and Russian. If you have a special language need, request this when booking.

What is your cancellation and refund policy? We choose to recommend tour partners that offer cancellations within 24 hours of the tour to give us ultimate flexibility. Be careful when booking on the street because if you need to cancel, you usually cannot get a refund but will be offered an alternative date, which may not be possible with your schedule.

Does the tour offer any flexibility to stop along the way? Group tours generally do not offer much flexibility, whereas a private tour will often allow stopping at other points of interest you pass along the way.

Bali Tours & Vacations

There are 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago, but none shine brighter than Bali. 

See the green slopes of Mt Batur to the Bintang bodegas on Seminyak’s main party strip. Bali is a volcano-dotted, beach-fringed paradise that’s serene and sensational by turns. Beyond the mega-resorts and yoga studios, you'll find the essence of Bali, the temples, out-of-the-way mountain towns, local markets and lazy fishing villages. Our Bali tours have something for everyone. Dive the impossibly blue waters off Lovina. Be welcomed into a Balinese family home. Soak in the Banja hot springs or sip smoothies in Ubud’s cafes . As always, when it comes to paradise, the hardest bit is choosing what to do first.

Local culture.

Between the 12th and 20th centuries, Bali has often been treated as a pawn in the games of kings, rajahs and generals. More often than not, its fate has been closely tied to neighboring Lombok with fierce battles between the two islands over the centuries as different rulers vied for regional dominance. This history of varied occupation can be seen in Bali today, with elements of Hinduism and Islam present in modern Balinese society. However, there is no historical animosity between the religions, or even between the islands of Lombok and Bali.

One of the defining moments in Bali’s history took place in the 16th century when the collapse of the Majapahit dynasty encouraged the spread of Islam from the surrounding states into the Javanese kingdom. Rather than live under Islamic rule, many Hindu elites chose to escape to Bali. These elites included many artists, dancers, musicians, actors and court-supported artisans, as well as some more artistically inclined priests. The result was an intense proliferation of cultural arts across Bali, no doubt inspired by rich Balinese folklore featuring epic battles of good and evil, gods and mortals. This reputation persists today, with many travelers falling in love with the island’s intricate temple carvings, dance performances, colorful sarongs and handicrafts.

When you combine a love of arts with world-class beaches and deliciously fiery sambals, it’s no surprise Bali’s tourism industry is soaring. It’s not unusual for someone to ask you whether this is your second, third or fourth visit to the island. Many locals rely on tourism to some extent, either by working as tour operators or running hotels, yoga studios, massage parlors, bars, cafes or restaurants.

The destination’s popularity with  Australians  means there’s a gradual cultural creep in larger cities like Seminyak, where Melbourne-style cafes and international clothing labels are particularly popular. If you escape the resorts and head further north from Denpasar, you’re more likely to encounter traditional warungs (eateries) and villages untouched by tourism sprawl.

One last word of advice: always watch where you put your feet. Locals will traditionally place small offerings on the footpaths outside their homes or businesses up to three times a day. 83.5% of the population identifies as Hindu and religion plays a large part in Balinese life. In fact, there is a small religious ceremony associated with just about every aspect of Balinese culture, whether it’s the beginning of a soccer game, celebrating the full moon or cleaning the house.

Food and drink

At first glance it might seem difficult to pinpoint Bali’s exact culinary identity. The mishmash of Indonesian and pan-Asian influences means you’re likely to come across menus that sometimes feel part Thai, Malaysian, Indian and Vietnamese. But no matter what you order, the food will always be fresh and bursting with flavor. Dishes are typically made fresh each day, with curries and pastes prepared by hand using traditional methods.

The most authentic food in Bali is usually found streetside at eateries called warungs. Warungs are common in every village and city, and a good place for a quick feed on a budget. Many will specialize in a small menu of popular local dishes.

Top foods to try in Bali

Babi guling:  This is slow cooking Balinese-style. A whole pig is stuffed with chilli, turmeric, ginger, galangal, shallots, garlic, coriander seeds and aromatic leaves and rotated over an open fire. This dish is commonly seen at celebrations.

Satay:  Sometimes spelt ‘sate’ on local menus, Indonesia is famous for its tasty meat skewers (usually chicken) cooked over hot coals and slathered in moreish peanut sauce.

Nasi campur:  Nasi campur feels like a bit of a buffet. Your plate typically comes with a scoop of nasi putih accompanied by small portions of a number of other dishes, including meats, vegetables, peanuts, eggs, and fried-shrimp krupuk.

Nasi goreng:  The old favorite among tertiary students is nothing like the local version. Nasi goreng, literally meaning "fried rice”, is a popular rice dish with pieces of meat and vegetables, and a fried egg added on top.

Sambal:  A fiery paste made using a chili base smashed with secondary ingredients like shrimp paste, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, palm sugar, lime juice, and rice vinegar.

Learn more about some of the dishes to try in Bali

Eating vegetarian in Bali

Going vegetarian is relatively easy in Bali as many dishes are already meat-free. Tofu and tempeh are also a standard part of the local diet. Key vegetarian dishes to look out for include nasi saur (rice flavored with toasted coconut and accompanied by tofu, tempeh, vegetables and sometimes egg), urap (steamed vegetables mixed with grated coconut and spices), gado gado (tofu and tempeh mixed with steamed vegetables, boiled egg and peanut sauce) and sayur hijau (leafy green vegetables, usually kangkung – water spinach – flavored with a tomato-chilli sauce).

The abundance of fresh fruits in Bali means you can buy fresh coconuts and juices (or fruity cocktails) almost anywhere you go. If you're looking for something with a bit more punch then you could order a Bintang, the national larger or maybe arak – a local liquor made from fermented rice and coconut palm flowers.

Learn more about local drinks to try in Bali

Festivals and events

Many festivals in the Balinese calendar revolve around religious and spiritual occasions marked by periods of prayer or silence, and followed by lots of festivities and feasting. Some festivals might be inconvenient for travelers, such as the Day of Silence, but they’re also a great opportunity to gain an insight into local life that many don’t get to see.

Multiple surf contests are held throughout the year at different times and in different places. Check with local surfing schools for up to date information.

Top festivals in Bali

Nyepi (Day of Silence):  Bali’s major Hindu festival, Nyepi, or the Day of Silence, celebrates the beginning of a new year and is marked by inactivity. Legends say that this is a strategy to convince evil spirits that Bali is uninhabited and therefore not worthy of visiting! Jokes on them. The day involves prayer, meditation and quiet reflection.

Bali Arts Festival:  For an island with a strong history of cultural arts, it’s no surprise the Bali Arts Festival has pride of place in the annual calendar. Based at the Taman Wedhi Budaya arts center in Denpasar, travelers can see village-based dance groups competing for local pride across several traditional dance categories. The date changes each year but is typically held between mid-June to mid-July.

Bali Kite Festival:  From July to October, the skies of southern Bali fill with huge, colorful monsters, critters and imaginative creations. Scores of kites are launched by the locals as part of this special spiritual event. It is believed the kites urge the gods to provide abundant harvests.

Indonesian Independence Day:  Held on 17 August each year, this day celebrates Indonesia's independence from the Dutch in 1945. Expect to see legions of marching school children, flags, kites and fireworks. Don’t expect to get anywhere quickly either on the day or the days leading up to it.

Galungan and Kuningan:  Galungan celebrates the death of a legendary tyrant called Mayadenawa. The celebrations come to a head with the Kuningan festival, which is when the Balinese say thanks and goodbye to the gods. The exact dates of these two festivals vary as they are planned using the 210-day wuku (or Pawukon) calendar.

Geography and environment

Bali is undoubtedly Indonesia’s most popular province thanks to its abundance of beautiful beaches, leafy jungles and impressive mountains. Located just east of Java and west of Lombok, the Bali province includes not only the island of Bali but also a few of the smaller neighboring islands, such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan.

Bali's highest mountain is Mt Agung (3,031 m, 9,944 ft), which is also known as the "Mother Mountain”. One of the other popular volcanoes on the island is Mt Batur. Both of these volcanoes have contributed to Bali’s incredibly fertile soil, which has allowed the rice crop trade to flourish.

Bali is located just 8 degrees south of the equator, which means it enjoys a fairly even climate year-round. The average year-round temperature hovers around 86°F, with a humidity level of about 85%. It's also surrounded by coral reefs and is part of the Coral Triangle, an area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. Over 500 reef-building coral species can be found here, which is seven times the entire Caribbean.

Bali’s problems with environmental pollution are well-documented, and it’s fair to say that the nearly 5.7 million tourists who visit annually are contributing their fair share. In late 2017, Indonesian officials declared a “garbage emergency” after a tide of plastic washed up a 5.8 kilometer (3.6 mile) stretch of coastline. We encourage all travelers to carry a reusable plastic bottle with them, a reusable tote bag for carrying items and to try and minimize their use of plastics wherever possible.

While you’ll find many of the main tourism hubs, like Seminyak and Kuta, filled with international fashion labels, there are also many local boutiques offering a wide variety of hand-made goods. These include traditional wood carvings (and even some famously phallic bottle openers), silver jewelry, colorful sarongs, eco-friendly bags, bamboo satchels, recycled furniture and a near limitless range of body oils and fragrances. Of course, if you’re looking for a traditional ‘I Heart Bali’ t-shirt or Bintang singlet, these are never in short supply either.

Like many parts of South East Asia, bargaining is a big part of the local shopping experience. Getting a good price comes down to how well you can haggle, but it’s important to have fun, bargain in good faith, and remember to smile. You’ll usually find better prices, and more negotiable shop owners, away from the main tourist strips.

Bali travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Bali?

Sitting a snug 8 degrees from the equator, Bali’s climate is classic tropics. There’s a dry season and a rainy season, and not a whole lot in between.

The best time for a Bali tour (weather-wise) is the July to August peak season, or from December to the first week of January.

Although if you’d like to avoid the crowds (and why wouldn’t you) shoulder months like April, May, June and September make an excellent alternative.

The weather is dry and slightly less humid, and the island in general is a lot more relaxed.

October isn’t too bad either, especially if you’re into water sports like scuba diving, surfing or snorkeling (the rainfall is much lighter than in November).

Do you need a visa for a Bali tour?

The short answer is maybe – depending on your nationality. Passport holders from over 60 countries (including the   UK ,   Australia   and the   United States ) can enter Indonesia with a free tourist visa on arrival which allows you to stay for 30 days for tourism purposes. An immigration officer will date stamp your passport when you arrive and you will not be able to extend your stay. If you overstay there are hefty fines of IDR 1,000,000 (approximately 70 USD) per day.

If there's a chance you might want to stay longer than 30 days, you'll need to pay for a visa on arrival or apply for one prior to traveling at an overseas Indonesian consulate or embassy.

To enter Bali, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

• proof of onward or return ticket
• proof of funds to pay for your expenses during your trip
• completed immigration card (this will usually be given to you on the plane or at the arrival terminal)

Local laws require that you must be able to show your valid passport at any time when required to do so by an immigration office. We recommend taking a clear photocopy of your passport photo page, and visa (after arriving), to carry with you.

This page is for general information only and may be subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. 

Last updated: 27 June 2023 

Should I tip on a Bali tour?

Tipping isn’t compulsory in Bali, or anywhere else in Indonesia. But, like most countries, it’s very much appreciated.

Remember that many Balinese rely on tourism as a main source of income, and a tip is always appreciated.

What is the internet access like in Bali?

In tourist centers like Kuta, Seminyak, Denpasar, and Lovina internet access should be fine, and there will be plenty of internet cafes (or cafes with free internet) to choose from if your Wi-Fi isn’t up to scratch.

In more rural areas, there could be little or no coverage, particularly during homestays. Just remember to plan ahead. 

What are the toilets like in Bali?

Restaurants and hotels in developed tourist centers will have Western-style flush toilets.

In more rural areas the traditional squat toilet will be more common.

We recommend packing a bottle of hand sanitizer if you plan to visit rural parts of Bali.

What will it cost for a...?

Indonesia is one of the world's favorite budget travel destinations. Here's what you can roughly expect to pay for a:

• Street food snack = 0.15c USD
• Fresh juice = 0.40c USD
• Bottle of beer in a bar = 1.50 USD
• Souvenir sarong = 1.80 USD
• Dinner in a restaurant = 3 USD

Can I drink the water on a Bali tour?

Drinking water from taps isn’t recommended in Indonesia, but for environmental reasons try to avoid buying bottled water every day. There are a number of filtered canteens you can purchase or bring a supply of water filtration tablets that you can drop into your bottle wherever you go.

If you’re traveling on an Intrepid Travel trip, we always carry with us a large drum of water in our truck to refill your bottles on the road. Our hotel operators will also provide water free of charge to refill your bottles.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Bali?

Major credit cards are widely accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in Bali.

T hey may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas.

Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Bali.

What is ATM access like in Indonesia?

ATMs are found widely throughout Bali, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be problematic in most areas. Some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so be prepared for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

What public holidays are celebrated in Bali?

Public holidays may vary from year to year. Find out more information on current public holidays in Bali.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Is Bali safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Homosexuality is legal in most of Indonesia, however, revisions to Indonesia’s criminal code are currently being considered that would criminalize gay sex and same-sex relationships. Advocacy groups fear this would represent a profound setback to human rights in Indonesia as a result. The LGBTQIA+ community has also been known to be targeted and harassed by police.

Bali, with its Hindu majority, has always been more liberal, tolerant and relaxed in attitude, however, public displays of affection are still not the norm for any couples anywhere in the country. Upscale hotels will likely not have any issues with same-sex travelers sharing a bed, however, if you are staying in budget or family-run businesses and are allocated separate beds, you might feel more comfortable not drawing attention to your relationship. 

Because sex, in general, is a taboo subject in Indonesian society, the issue of sexuality is unlikely to arise while traveling here. Indonesia is generally safe for queer travelers, provided you are willing to be discreet and cautious with public behavior.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

Bali Experience

I want to express my appreciation for the tour created by TruTravels, the exceptional service provided by Ovinda, our tour guide during the recent Bali Experience tour starting on June 24th. I would like to commend her for her outstanding dedication. Throughout the 10-day tour, Ovinda demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect us with local tour guides and immerse us in the vibrant local cultures of Bali. She provided recommendations for food, bars and other locations. While it is challenging to capture the exact essence of the memories and conversations that were formed during the trip, I can confidently say that many of them will be etched in my mind forever. Ovinda's authenticity, willingness to share her own life experiences, and genuine interest in getting to know each member of the group were truly commendable. She went above and beyond to accommodate the desires and preferences of the entire group. The tour was well built and the people where all interesting to talk to.

This tour gave me the ability to experience Bali in a way I may not have if I had travelled solo. The country is beautiful, and to experience through such a friendly and informative guide was wonderfu. I truly enjoyed meeting my fellow travellers. I would recommend this particular tour, with Andri as your guide!

Classic Bali & Lombok

Good combination of program and freetime. Our CEO, Hans, was just excellent. Actually the highlight of the trip was the visit at his home, walk on the close rice-field and visit the local school. The Agung caused some extra worries but at the end everything went Ok.

7 Days Bali and Gili Islands Epic Experience

What a wonderful way to explore Bali and its culture from monkey forest, rice terraces to tasting coffee and local fruits. Still not a Durian fan but fun watching the group tasting and react to it. The snorkeling in Gili was crazy. Hand feeding turtles while snorkeling is something you won’t forget and the white beaches and colorful fish make this the best place I have ever snorkeled. The Hotels and staff was amazing at every place we stayed but I need to give special thanks to our guide Yustus…. he was professional , organized, knowledgeable and just fun to hang with.Our driver Pepen was like our 2nd tour guide always helping out. This was a stress free trip because of the way they worked together

Bali 9 Day/ 8 Night Group Tour | ULTIMATE

Best tour ever! Great itinerary, great activities, although I think you can cut a day from Kuta and add one day to Gili Our guide, Aggy, was more than we could expect! She was always taking care of us, happy to answer all our questions about the tour, about the Indonesian culture and she told us so many interesting things about Balinese people that we couldn't knew otherways, always with a sweet smile on her face. She was always there for us whenever we needed her, although she had a different accommodation than us, which I don't approve... the tour guide should definitely have the same accommodation. She was very caring and open, she made sure that we have the best time in Bali but never forgot to remember us to stay safe and remember us what we should or shouldn't do.

10 Days The Best of Bali, Gilis and Nusa Penida Island Experience

The Tour was great but too much driving and not enough time at the Beach Club. The destinations were far for day trips and having to sit in a van for 9 hours is not fun. Also the Watersport place was fun but very expensive, high pressure and the channel and beach were polluted with garbage. The accommodation in Kuta and Gili Trawangan were very nice but the breakfast in Gili Trawangan and Nusa Penedia were poor. You should consider a different place in Nusa Penedia because breakfast was terrible, no water in the room on the second day and the choice of beverages were coke or beer. They were not very tasty or filling for the price. There was a lot of driving around only to spend 20 minutes to take a picture and in the car or van again. ???? Driving up to the Temple Lake was nice but again, too much time driving. Other then getting injured at the Water Sport place and being asked to crawl across a bow of a boat to get into an already over crowded boat, the Tour was good. The drivers and guides were kind, thoughtfull, attentive and fun.

Discover Lombok

Discover Lombok was a fabulous tour. Fascinating island not overrun with tourists. Local guide Ell was great, being from Lombok himself his knowledge/local insights were amazing and really added to the trip. The quiet east coast was stunning. Highly recommend this trip!

Bali, Lombok & Gili Islands: Hike, Bike, Raft & Snorkel

The trip was great, good transportation, excellent guide, all very well organized.

Bali Bucket List Boutique 10 Day Tour

Bali Bucket List Tours was fantastic!!! Our tour guide Andy was amazing, knowledgeable, and very patient. I didn't have to worry about anything. He took cake of it all. I didn't want to leave. I will definitely recommend him to any of my friends that want to visit Bali and need a tour guide!! I had the most amazing trip, thanks to Andy!!

Bali Tour & Tour Packages Reviews

The best tour we could book to discover Bali. We visited all the sights worth seeing (Nusa Penida, Gili T, waterfall...) , did all the fun activities (surfing, snorkeling, monkey forest, etc) and learned a lot about balinese culture. Everything was well organized and went smooth. All the guides and instructors were real pros. Our tour guide, Josh did his best to inform us about everything in time and took care of our needs. We could always rely on him for advice and having a good time.

Die Tour war ein unvergessbares Erlebnis. Der Tourguide Zio war sehr lustig drauf auf zur gleichen Zeit sehr professionell. Meine Highlightes waren die beiden Schnorchel Touren und die gemeinsamen Abende mit der gesamten Gruppe. Teilweise war der Zeitplan sehr eng und stark strukturiert. Besonders der Tag der Kaffe Tour war zu eng und stressig. Jedoch hat mir die Auswahl der Hotels unglaublich gefallen. Es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis!

I loved my wanderlands tour, it gave me so many amazing experiences and helped me connect with myself in a deeper way. I was in a spot in life where I needed something to change. I’m so lucky to have had my group leader as Stacia. She was so welcoming and since she’s a local, it gave a more authentic feel to Bali and the culture around it. I loved learning from her and having her guide me through this tour! She made me feel comfortable, safe and excited for our next day! I really appreciated how organized and on time she kept our group. The itinerary kept me busy and happy! I loved the events like snorkelling and hikes. I was also able to connect with myself on a more spiritual level too, Bali is the place for that. ❤️ One of my best friends came on the tour before me and told me it was a MUST and that booking my tour with Stacia, was also a MUST. He was definitely right and I agree with him completely! The group members are also amazing, being with like minded people and people who are close to my age. The hostels were all great and the food hasn’t let me down!
