Day 1–2: Arrival in Bali and Rest
Your adventure begins the moment you land at Ngurah Rai International Airport. A representative from Marina Bali Tour will welcome you and assist with your transfer to the hotel. The first two days are for acclimatizing—take your time to relax after a long flight, adjust to the tropical weather, and recharge before your island tour begins. Enjoy your hotel amenities, take a gentle stroll along the beach, or simply unwind with a local dish.
Day 3: Water Sports and Uluwatu Sunset Tour
Start your Bali exploration with some aquatic fun at Tanjung Benoa. A popular water sports destination, here you can try activities such as banana boat rides, jet skiing, or snorkeling. Later, enjoy lunch before heading south to the stunning Pandawa Beach. Known for its white sands and carved cliffs, it’s a place that blends natural beauty with cultural charm.
As the day winds down, you’ll visit the cliffside Uluwatu Temple. Standing tall above the Indian Ocean, the temple offers dramatic sunset views. Don’t miss the traditional Kecak dance performance, often held near the temple during dusk, adding a spiritual and theatrical element to your evening.
Day 4: Ubud and Kintamani Highland Tour
Day four takes you into the heart of Bali. Start your morning with a Barong dance performance, a lively expression of Bali’s mythology. Then head to Celuk Village, where skilled artisans craft intricate silver and gold jewelry. Continue your journey to Tirta Empul, a holy spring temple where locals come for ritual purification.
Next, head to Kintamani, a mountain village offering majestic views of Mount Batur and its crater lake. Enjoy a peaceful lunch overlooking the volcano before visiting a nearby coffee plantation, where you can learn about and sample Bali’s famous Luwak coffee. Finish the day at the Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Monkey Forest in Ubud, ideal for those seeking both nature and wildlife.
Day 5: East Bali and the Gateway to Heaven
East Bali is rich in history and landscapes. Your first stop is the Tirta Gangga Water Palace, a serene complex of pools, fountains, and gardens once belonging to Balinese royalty. Follow this with a trip to the famed Lempuyang Temple, where the “Gate of Heaven” frames a breathtaking view of Mount Agung.
After capturing some memorable photos, spend the rest of the day relaxing at Virgin Beach, one of Bali’s most secluded spots. With its soft sand and turquoise waters, it’s the perfect place to slow down and reflect on the journey so far.
Day 6: Temples, Lakes, and Mountains
Your adventure continues with a visit to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, located on the shores of a misty lake. This temple is not only a place of worship but also a photographer’s dream. From there, make a quick photo stop at Handara Gate, an iconic entrance framed by lush greenery.
Next, head to Wanagiri Hidden Hills, where you’ll find scenic lookouts with swings and nests perfect for panoramic views. After lunch, explore the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO-recognized site known for its ancient irrigation system and vast green fields. End the day with a visit to Tanah Lot Temple, one of Bali’s most celebrated sea temples, best experienced at sunset.
Day 7: Nusa Penida Day Tour
Board a fast boat from Bali to Nusa Penida, a rugged island with breathtaking coastal views. Your island tour includes Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool, and Broken Beach, a dramatic rock arch that opens into the sea. You’ll also visit Kelingking Beach, famous for its dinosaur-shaped cliff and turquoise bay below.
Though Nusa Penida is more remote than mainland Bali, its raw beauty and dramatic landscapes make it a must-see destination.
Day 8: Denpasar and Cultural Experience
Day eight gives you a glimpse of urban Bali with a visit to Denpasar, the capital city. Explore Bajra Sandhi Monument, a historic structure representing the struggle of Balinese people. Continue to the Bali Museum, where you can appreciate the island’s art, textiles, and archaeological finds.
After a morning of cultural discovery, unwind with a 2-hour Balinese spa treatment to soothe your body and mind. This rejuvenating experience is a fitting reward for all the exploring you’ve done.
Day 9: Shopping and Leisure
By now, you’ve explored temples, volcanoes, beaches, and villages. Use this day to shop for souvenirs, enjoy a quiet café, or return to a favorite spot. Whether it’s a stroll through the Ubud Art Market or a visit to local craft shops, Bali offers plenty of opportunities to take a piece of the island home with you.
End your day with a Bali Sunset Dinner Cruise—a magical evening filled with music, traditional performances, and delicious food as you sail along the coast.
