5 Must See Places on a Bali Tour Package
A Bali tour package takes the hassle out of vacation planning, giving you time to relax and enjoy your stay. Choose from tours that feature everything from stunning beaches to traditional dances—and don't forget that unforgettable shopping!
Visit Uluwatu Temple, perched atop a cliff, and watch an unforgettable Kecak dance performance. Then, end your experience at Jimbaran Bay with an indulgent barbecue dinner!
Tegallalang Rice Terrace
The Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Bali are one of the island's must-see spots. Their stunning landscape represents the island's agricultural history and showcases it to visitors and photographers. Their terraced paddy fields inspire photographers and visitors alike and represent a harmonious balance between nature and humanity.
But this spot, despite its stunning scenery and swaying coconut palms, does have its drawbacks. It caters too heavily towards tourists to the point of being tacky and can be very costly; one coconut costs almost $2.50! Also, locals may try scamming you, giving out baskets or hats for pictures to take with an expectation for tips afterwards. Though frustrating at first, remember they are simply trying to make a living; therefore, bring cash with you so as to avoid potential scams!
Ubud Monkey Forest
Ubud Monkey Forest is one of Bali's top attractions, and this all-inclusive tour visits it alongside other key spots like Elephant Cave—used by locals for meditation—and more. Your tour guide is highly knowledgeable and gives local insights at each site visited on this tour.
The Monkey Forest of Ubud is home to hundreds of Balinese long-tailed macaques (rhesus monkeys). While some people may fear monkeys and avoid visiting this spot altogether, it is essential for anyone visiting Ubud. Follow all rules (do not look them directly in the eyes, don't run, or carry food or quickly tangible accessories like sunglasses) for an enjoyable experience - staff can even take photos with the monkeys at an additional charge!
There are also ancient temples and bridges within the sanctuary, including an old cremation temple across from a quiet cemetery. While I often see fears expressed on internet forums regarding possible exposure to rabies, this location is safe.
Tirta Empul Temple
Tirta Empul Temple's sacred springs have long held an allure for Bali residents. Experience local culture while taking part in a Hindu blessing ritual on this unforgettable experience, which features skip-the-line entry, offering gifts to Hindu gods, renting Balinese clothing, including sarong and sash, round-trip private transfers from your Ubud location, and round-trip transfers back home again.
Pura Tirta Empul, constructed in 926 AD, is located in Manukaya village near Tampaksiring town in central Bali. People believe its springs possess curative powers, so for millennia, they have come here to bathe and cleanse themselves. It is one of the more unique experiences in Bali. Bring along your camera as you capture its beautiful and mysterious landscape!
Ubud Art Market
Explore Bali's famous artisan market on a full-day tour from Ubud. This tour is an engaging cultural experience, as you meet generations-old artisans whose skills have been handed down through their families for generations. Additionally, visiting this market provides insights into Balinese culture and traditions, which are often overlooked nowadays.
Ubud Art Market offers something for every traveller, whether that means handwoven rattan bags, traditional sarongs, or intricate wood carvings crafted locally. By purchasing locally made items, you are helping artisans support themselves financially while contributing to the preservation of Balinese culture for future generations.
Be ready to negotiate for the best prices by remaining persistent without becoming aggressive. Remember that sellers want their first sale of the day! For optimal results, visit markets early in the morning when vendors are less crowded and prices are at their lowest point.
Nusa Dua Dive
Nusa Dua is too far from Bali's main dive sites for comfortable day diving trips - you would spend over three-and-a-half hours driving each way! Instead, consider finding a local dive operator (Geko Dive or Hammerhead Bali Diving are good choices) or staying close by and visiting one of Padang Bai's many excellent dive centres (Geko Dive is one such operator).
Padang Bai is home to the world-famous Liberty Shipwreck, making it an excellent site for divers of all experience levels and boasting abundant marine life. There is also some amazing muck diving at the Drop-off site, while more experienced divers may want to visit Tulamben or Amed, as well as Candidasa with its challenging reefs.
Take a 45-minute speedboat trip from Sanur to Nusa Penida and Lembongan (Manta Point if conditions permit). Enjoy viewing an abundance of marine life, such as Manta Rays, Bamboo Sharks, and Mola Mola.
Tanjung Benoa Water Sports
Tanjung Benoa Beach offers calm sea water, perfect for marine sports like jet skiing, banana boating, diving, snorkelling, flying fish, and ocean walking. Tanjung Benoa stands out as Bali's go-to spot for water sports activities, as it offers numerous instructors who specialize in these sports to guarantee your safety while on the beach.
Are you an adrenaline enthusiast in search of thrills and spills? Look no further than Tanjung Benoa in Bali for exhilarating watersports activities to satisfy that urge! From banana boats and doughnut rides to thrilling Jet Ski, flying fish, and parasailing adventures, Tanjung Benoa provides endless adrenaline-pumping thrills.
Avoiding haggling over prices with Klook can save you time and effort—including round-trip hotel transfers and a delicious lunch—so you can spend time admiring Nusa Dua by booking our bali tour package!
