At Marina Bali Tour, we’ve crafted a thoughtfully curated 4-day Bali itinerary that captures the essence of the island in just the right amount of time. From tranquil temples and majestic volcanoes to vibrant villages and lush rice fields, every day is designed to give you a memorable and immersive experience.
Day 1: Arrival and First Impressions
After landing at Ngurah Rai International Airport, you’ll be greeted by your private English-speaking Balinese driver who will escort you to your hotel in the Kuta area. There are no scheduled tours on your arrival day, giving you the freedom to relax and adjust to Bali’s warm and tropical ambiance.
You may choose to rest at the hotel, explore the nearby beaches, or take a gentle walk around your accommodation. Kuta is known for its vibrant energy, so you’ll quickly feel the pulse of Bali life through its markets, cafes, and ocean breezes. It’s a perfect welcome to what’s ahead.
Day 2: Ubud and Kintamani Cultural Adventure
Begin your journey deep into Bali’s cultural heart. Your second day begins with a stop at Batubulan Village, where you’ll witness the iconic Barong Dance—a traditional performance that tells stories of good versus evil through dramatic movement and ornate costumes.
After the show, you’ll head to Celuk Village, known for its intricate gold and silver craftsmanship. You’ll see artisans at work, creating jewelry using ancient techniques passed down for generations.
From there, you’ll move on to Tirta Empul Temple in Tampaksiring, a sacred water temple where locals come to purify themselves in its holy spring. The peaceful environment, combined with the spiritual aura, offers a powerful glimpse into Bali’s deep religious traditions.
Next, you’ll reach Kintamani Village, where the majestic Mount Batur and its surrounding lake dominate the landscape. While enjoying a delightful Balinese lunch, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the volcano and lake—a moment of awe you won’t forget.
In the afternoon, visit a Bali Coffee Plantation. Here, you’ll learn about the making of Luwak Coffee, famously made using beans digested by civets. You can sample different flavors and even buy some to take home.
On the way back to Ubud, stop at Tegalalang Rice Terraces—a beautifully sculpted expanse of green where traditional farming techniques are still in use. You’ll have time to take photos and walk along the pathways to appreciate the harmony between nature and human effort.
End your day at the Ubud Monkey Forest, a serene yet lively sanctuary where monkeys roam freely among ancient temples and towering banyan trees.
Day 3: Iconic Landmarks and Highland Escapes
Your third day takes you on a journey to Bali’s highlands. After breakfast, set off toward the serene beauty of Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, which floats on the edge of Lake Bratan. Built to honor the water goddess Dewi Danu, the temple is a spiritual and scenic highlight surrounded by misty mountains and cool breezes.
Continue to Handara Gate, one of Bali’s most photographed sites. The towering stone gateway framed by lush forest provides a striking photo opportunity and a glimpse into traditional Balinese architecture.
Next, visit Wanagiri Hidden Hills, located in the highlands of Munduk village. With dramatic viewpoints overlooking twin lakes and creatively designed photo spots like swings and nests, it’s a place where nature and art come together.
In the afternoon, you’ll explore the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO Cultural Landscape and an outstanding example of Bali’s subak irrigation system. These expansive fields stretch across the hillsides and are a living canvas of Bali’s agricultural heritage.
As the sun begins to set, visit Tanah Lot Temple, arguably Bali’s most iconic sea temple. Built on a rocky outcrop and surrounded by crashing waves, Tanah Lot offers breathtaking views—especially during sunset. Nearby, Batu Bolong Temple also provides a scenic backdrop with its arched rock formation and ocean panorama.
Return to your hotel feeling fulfilled after a day rich in discovery.
Day 4: Farewell to the Island
Your final day is meant to be enjoyed at your own pace. After a relaxed breakfast, take some time to soak in the hotel amenities or perhaps stroll through the nearby streets for some last-minute shopping.
Depending on your flight time, your driver will pick you up and escort you back to Ngurah Rai International Airport. Though it’s the end of this journey, the memories you’ve made will stay with you forever.
