Start your discovery of beautiful Bali's highlights with a drive towards Kintamani. You'll pass over scenic roads offering beautiful views of the rice fields, observing the daily life of the Balinese farmers. 

On the way you’ll stop to visit the unique temple of Gunung Kawi. Set amidst lush rice terraces, these 11th century temples feature 10 rock-cut Candi (shrines) carved into the cliff face. They stand over 20-feet high and combine ancient Hindu and Buddhist temple attributes. There are numerous stairs leading down to the temple. 

After that, you’ll continue to the nearby village of Tampaksiring to explore Tirta Empul, a temple famous for its sacred spring water. All Balinese bathe there at least once a year for a ritual cleaning, in these holy waters dedicated to Vishnu. 

We’ll then drive on further to the north until we reach Kintamani, a volcanic region where Mount Batur is standing, with its breathtaking views. Adjacent to the volcano is the large crescent-shaped Batur Lake, surrounded by the high walls of the crater rim. Here you’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, with panoramic views over Lake Batur. 

 From here you’ll continue on to Legian, where you’ll have the remainder of the day free. 

Experience unique Ubud with your city tour! Your day starts with a short drive to the  outskirts of Ubud, where you will do some soft trekking (for approximately 2 hours) though a local village and beautiful rice fields. You’ll be guided by a local farmer who will proudly show his village and rice paddies, where he spends his days working. After that, you’ll enjoy lunch served in a local restaurant.

After lunch you’ll be taken to the center of Ubud to visit the famous Monkey Forest, where you’ll see its cheeky inhabitants fooling around. From here you’ll be taken to Ubud Palace, followed by a visit to the local market. You’ll have the chance to test your bargaining skills when negotiating prices with the local vendors that come here every day to sell their handcrafted goods.  

Discover the splendors of Bali's east today! Your first stop will be the Goa Lawah Temple; set on the coastline near Padangbai Harbor, this temple is set in sacred bat caves. Continue over very scenic roads and stunning landscapes with a visit to Besakih, known as the ‘Mother Temple’ of Bali.  Located on the western slopes of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest volcano (8,700 feet), Besakih is the largest and most important temple on the island. 

You’ll stop for lunch in a local restaurant, before continuing on to Klunkung to visit Kertagosa. This ancient justice court, part of the former Semarapura Palace, retains the most detailed ceiling paintings in Bali, depicting punishments that were given to criminals in ancient times. You’ll also have time to visit the nearby museum. 

 today you’ll start with a visit to Tanah Lot, Bali’s most famous temple, set dramatically on a small island right in front of the coast, and only accessible to the Balinese Hindus by walking through the sea.

Continue with a visit to Bali’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jatiluwih, where you’ll reach the widest panoramic view of Bali’s iconic rice terraces. Located on a slope near the holy mountain of Batukaru, this area is known as the rice granary of Bali, and is one of the best examples of Subak-style rice farming in Bali. Here, we’ll go for a leisurely hour-long walk through the rice fields. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy lunch in a local restaurant, overlooking the rice terraces.

After lunch we’ll drive to Bedugul, where you’ll visit the local market. The market is very well-known in Bali, since the Bedugul area has, due to its high altitude (almost 5,000 feet), a cooler climate and many vegetables and fruits that can only be grown there. 

The next stop will be the Ulun Danu Temple, one of Bali’s most photographed temples, set on several small islands in the lake.  We then head back towards Legian, with one more stop scheduled at the Royal Taman Ayun Temple in Mengwi, surrounded by a fish pond and with unique multi-roofed structures.
