The island's highest peak, Mount Agung, stands at 3,142 meters. Bali's diverse charm and breathtaking scenery have earned it the nickname "Paradise Island." It is renowned for its temples, sculptures, paintings, music, textiles, song and dance, and beautiful scenery, making it a world-renowned tourist destination.

Day 2 Nusa Penida Cruise (Shared Boat)
All day
丨Itinerary presentation
Around 8:00 am, we will take a speedboat to [Penida Island], an outlying island located southeast of Bali. It is notable for its cliff-top sea views and unique coastline landscape. In the morning, we will experience water activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, banana boats, and donuts. For lunch, we will enjoy an Indonesian-style meal at the island club. In the afternoon, we will cruise the west line of Penida Island to check in the popular Elf Beach, Fairy Crack and God's Bath. We will return to Bali by boat at around 16:00.
[Elf Beach Kelingking] (view from a distance)
Beautiful Elf Beach, famous for its iconic iPhone wallpaper, has become a must-visit Bali spot. (From a distance) The turquoise waters reflect the blue sky, while white waves crash against the sand. Does it look familiar? It's a perfect replica of the scenery from the Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun," where you'll find the boat bay in Zakynthos, Greece. This rarely visited spot makes the ocean views even more breathtaking.
Broken Beach (Distant View)
The Broken Beach, also known as the Broken Beach, is one of the few remaining natural stone arches in the world, a relic of volcanic activity millions of years ago. Resembling a hollowed-out Roman Colosseum, the Broken Beach lies beneath a reef, covered by a thin layer of seawater. There's a 70% chance of spotting rare marine life: manta rays.
Angel's Billabon (view from a distance)
Hidden within the sharp volcanic rocks lies a natural infinity pool, a work of nature. The result of long-term erosion by waves and the movement of the earth's crust, it boasts clear, turquoise water and a sapphire ocean beyond. During high tide, the waves can reach as high as 20 meters, creating a truly breathtaking spectacle.
丨Optional itinerary
If you feel tired from the second day of sailing, we will provide the following itinerary options:
Garuda Wisnu Kencana - Pandawa Cliff Road - Uluwatu Temple - Indonesian Fire Dance Performance
Day 3 Ubud Palace → Ubud Art Market → Ubud's popular swing → Tirta Empul Temple
All day
丨Itinerary presentation
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll drive to Ubud Palace, located in Ubud, Bali's artistic capital. Built in the 16th century and designed by renowned artists, it's a landmark of Ubud. This magnificent palace embodies Balinese architectural style, while its compact size exudes exquisite craftsmanship in every corner. Its grandeur, exquisite carvings, and resplendent gold leaf embellishments attract countless art enthusiasts annually.
Then we went to the Ubud Art Market, which is located opposite the Ubud Palace. It is one of the most famous art markets in Bali. The goods here are full of Balinese characteristics: paintings, wood carvings, stone carvings, different handicrafts and a bunch of interesting works of art.
For lunch in Ubud, we'll enjoy a Balinese specialty, a "dirty duck meal," a delicious Indonesian experience. We'll then head to the popular "Ubud Swing," located in the heart of Tegallalang. We'll swing through the lush greenery of tropical rice and coconut terraces, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea with a panoramic view.
Finally, we headed to Tirta Empul, a thousand-year-old Hindu temple on Bali. The stone shrines are now covered in moss, yet the spring still flows as it did in the past. The temple is magnificent and well-preserved, showcasing all the hallmarks of a Balinese temple. Islanders often come here to bathe and pray for peace.
About Ubud
Ubud, located in central Bali, is a major center of Balinese painting and art, and a world-renowned art village. Its tranquil and beautiful rural scenery and pervasive artistic atmosphere are a novelty to Westerners. Craft shops and renowned museums dot the streets and alleys, showcasing Bali's centuries-old cultural heritage and artistic richness through diverse forms such as painting, sculpture, music, dance, textiles, and photography.
Day 4: Lunch at Batur Volcano View → Batur Natural Hot Spring → Lovina
All day
丨Itinerary presentation
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll drive from Ubud to Kintamani for lunch at the popular Mount Batur Restaurant. Perched high on a cliff, the restaurant offers a prime view of Mount Batur. Enjoy a delicious lunch while admiring the surrounding scenery. We'll also take in some photos in the restaurant's outdoor white hammock.
After lunch, we'll head to Batur Natural Hot Springs, one of Bali's many natural treasures, scattered throughout the island's interior. Nestled in the Batur Mountains, you'll find a crystal-clear infinity pool offering panoramic views of the tranquil lake and its surroundings. Located at the foot of a volcano, the Batur Natural Hot Springs warms the mountain stream, carrying minerals into several man-made pools below. These mineral-rich, therapeutic waters offer a wellness retreat hidden amidst gorgeous, lush surroundings. Pamper yourself with the therapeutic properties and warm waters of this wonderful natural bathing spot as you bathe beneath beautiful Balinese sculptures, listen to the gurgling fountains, and gaze out at the adjacent lake!
After enjoying the hot springs, we drove to the Lovina area in the north of Bali and checked in at the Lovina Hotel.
About Kintamani
Kintamani is located in the mountainous region north of central Bali. Centered on the 1,717-meter-high Mount Batur, Kintamani is a rare cool spot in Indonesia, ideal for recuperation. Kintamani's summit is shrouded in thick smoke year-round, while the mountains are blanketed in lush tropical rainforests and verdant rice terraces. Rushing streams crisscross the mountain, brimming with vibrant vitality. The lake is as smooth as a mirror.
Day 5: Dolphin chasing in Lovina → Tanah Lot → Balinese spa
All day
丨Itinerary
A trip to Bali wouldn't be complete without the "Dolphin Chasing in Lovina" tour. While the Lovina area is a great base for exploring the many attractions of northern Bali, the first experience here should definitely be dolphin watching! Around 6:00 a.m., we boarded a traditional local crab boat. As the first rays of sunlight rose over the horizon, we waited for pods of bottlenose dolphins to emerge from the water amidst the shimmering light. Seeing these magnificent creatures leap and dance across the vast ocean is a spectacle most people won't soon forget!
After our dolphin chase, we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and rested briefly before heading to Tanah Lot Temple, one of Bali's most important seaside temples. Built in the 16th century, the temple sits atop a massive rock. At high tide, the rock is engulfed in water, isolating the temple from the mainland and leaving it standing alone in the water. It connects to the mainland only at low tide.
After visiting Tanah Lot Temple, we went to experience the Balinese Spa, enjoying the slow pace and relaxation of our journey. Afterwards, we checked into our hotel in Bali.
