Top 9 Things to Do in Bali
How do you feel about meditating in the lush green jungles of Ubud? Or spending a day at one of the world’s best waterparks with the family? How about snorkelling or diving pristine waters and exciting reefs?
Bali can accommodate all that and more! Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway to reconnect with yourself or someone close to you or want to celebrate a big occasion, Bali holidays can be tailored to your every fairytale fantasy. Here we reveal our top nine picks for things to do in Bali.
Scuba and Snorkel in Bali
The crystal-clear waters that surround Bali are just beckoning to be explored. Whether you love snorkelling or scuba diving, Bali has a plethora of epic diving sites. Learn to dive with a certified PADI instructor or float around and enjoy spotting cuttlefish, angelfish, cowfish, lionfish, and moray living in the coral. You can even check out a shipwreck at the US Liberty located directly by the shore at Tulamben. Take a dive beneath the surface of Bali’s waters and see what you can discover!
Day Spas in Bali
From Nusa Dua to Ubud and everywhere in between, traditional Balinese massages and body scrubs will be calling your name. Succumb to indulgence and treat yourself to some pampering at a Balinese spa. Relax into massages, facials, or body wraps at incredible value. Many My Holiday Bali packages come with exclusive inclusions like spa credits. There’s no shortage of spa options, so sit back and enjoy the rest and rejuvenation that Bali has to offer.
Waterbom Water Park, Bali
Waterbom is a must-do with kids (or without!) if you want a fun-filled and relaxing day in Bali. This stunning water park has something for everyone and is set in lush surroundings. If you’re staying in Kuta, a quick stroll to Waterbom will occupy at least a day or two of your visit because there’s so much to see and do in this vast waterpark. Well-priced, with plenty of food and drink venues, including awesome swim-up bars, Waterbom is safe, clean, and fun!
Balinese Cooking Class
Traditional Bali cooking classes can be booked directly through your resort or hotel. With a quick stop at the local market to collect fresh, local ingredients, you will learn to prepare and variety of traditional dishes and sauces from scratch, the Balinese way. Many say this is a highlight of their Bali holiday!
Discover Bali’s opulent temples
Bali is famous for its many temples, including well-known sites like Uluwatu and Tanah Lot, which are important water temples. Besakih, the ‘Mother Temple’ is located at the base of Mt. Agung and is one of the island’s most popular. Beyond these, smaller, less visited temples can be found throughout the cities. One of the most picturesque is Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, situated about an hour north of Ubud in Bali’s central highlands. Dedicated to the Hindu God of Water, it sits dreamily in the middle of Lake Beratan and, especially in the early morning when mountain fog drifts in, appears to be floating. After exploring the temple complex, enjoy a leisurely boat ride around the lake for an otherworldly experience.
Hike Gunung Batur
If you want to feel on top of the world, the best way to do that is by climbing a mountain. One that offers spectacular sunrise views and boasts itself as an active volcano! A hike that can be completed on your own or with the assistance of a guide, heading to the lookout point of Gunung Batur shows the island of Bali at your feet and all around you. This hike is suited for anyone with a moderate/high level of fitness. Book a massage for the afternoon to allow the body to relax and unwind afterwards!
Surfing in Bali
If you’re an avid surfer, bring your board and wax. The Island of Gods is well situated in that it receives forceful Southern Ocean swells from the Antarctic while maintaining a moderate water temperature due to its proximity to the equator. This means that along the southwestern and southeastern coasts there are a multitude of surf breaks – and you won’t freeze as you ride them. Go find your favourite on our list of epic Bali waves.
Get Eye-to-Eye with Komodo Dragons
A trip to Bali offers a rare chance to see the prehistoric Komodo dragons. It’s possible to book a one or two day tour to explore Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to visit these large lizards in their natural habitat. You can’t find them on the island of Bali, but a short plane ride to East Nusa Tenggara will get you where you need to be.
Immerse in Local Life
Step off the beaten path and spend a day living like the locals. Easily organised at the front desk of your hotel, village visits are a cultural eye-opener to the traditional, cultural past, and present of the Balinese people. You can learn how to make an offering at a temple and be shown how to prepare a simple local dish to share your food with a villager. You‘ll feel enriched and peaceful at the end of this extraordinary day.
