Coffee Plantation Visit
Delve into the world of Balinese coffee at a scenic plantation where rich volcanic soil yields Arabica, Robusta, and the island’s famous kopi luwak. Wander through fragrant rows of coffee plants, watch beans roasted traditionally over fire, and sip on fresh brews with sweeping jungle views. It’s a sensory journey — from soil to cup — for those who savour slow, grounded experiences.
Jungle Swings
Soar above a tropical canvas of palms, jungle canopy, and rice fields on one of Bali’s famous forest swings. Suspended high above Ubud’s river valleys, the experience is equal parts thrill and cinematic beauty. Whether you’re in it for the adrenaline, the photos, or the surreal views, the swings offer a playful yet powerful perspective on Bali’s lush interior.
Lempuyang Temple (Gate of Heaven)
Perched high on Mount Lempuyang, this sacred temple complex offers more than Instagram’s famed “Gate of Heaven.” With its misty stairways, dragon statues, and sweeping views of Mount Agung framed by temple gates, it’s a deeply spiritual site where Balinese pilgrims still come to pray. The journey up is part of the experience — an ascent through jungle silence, ritual offerings, and the breathtaking intersection of architecture and sky.
Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
Begin your trek in the predawn hush, climbing through volcanic slopes by torchlight to summit Mount Batur in time for sunrise. As the horizon glows and steam curls from the crater, Bali slowly unfurls below — lake, forest, and far-off peaks bathed in gold. This is more than a hike; it’s a moment of arrival. For those who seek awe before breakfast, Batur delivers it in full.
Penglipuran Traditional Village
Step into Penglipuran, one of Bali’s most beautifully preserved traditional villages. Lined with manicured gardens and bamboo architecture, the village maintains a strict code of cultural harmony and environmental care. No motorbikes, no fences, and no chaos — just a serene glimpse into ancestral life. Meet local families, learn about their customs, and see how ancient Balinese values thrive amid simplicity, pride, and ritual.
Pura Besakih – Mother Temple of Bali
Known as the Mother Temple, Pura Besakih is Bali’s most important spiritual site, nestled 1,000 metres up Mount Agung’s southern slope. A sprawling complex of over 80 temples, it commands panoramic views and a deep reverence among Balinese Hindus. Visit with a local guide to understand the rituals, symbolism, and cultural weight behind each tiered shrine. It’s not just a landmark — it’s the heartbeat of Bali’s spiritual identity.
Ramayana Ballet at Uluwatu or Prambanan
Experience the legendary Ramayana epic brought to life through dance, drama, and traditional gamelan music — set beneath the stars at a dramatic temple stage. Whether in Prambanan near Yogyakarta or by the cliffs of Uluwatu, the performance is a cultural jewel: elegant costumes, fire torches, and hypnotic movement retelling an ancient love story. It’s theatre steeped in myth, art, and open-air enchantment.
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Step into a lush jungle sanctuary in the heart of Ubud, where moss-covered temples and banyan roots frame playful grey macaques roaming freely. This sacred space is more than a monkey encounter — it’s a spiritual experience tied to Balinese Hinduism, where humans, nature, and animals coexist in harmony. As you wander its ancient paths, the forest reveals a deep sense of stillness, mischief, and the quiet magic that defines Ubud’s soul.
Sunrise Dolphin Watching in Lovina
Glide out before dawn on a traditional outrigger from Lovina’s calm northern coast, as the sky blushes with early light. Soon, pods of spinner dolphins appear — arcing gracefully through glassy waters, playful and wild. This quiet corner of Bali offers a gentler, more authentic rhythm. With its still sea, early hush, and fleeting glimpses of the natural world, Lovina’s sunrise safari feels intimate, respectful, and quietly profound.
Tegallalang Rice Terraces Walk
Wander through the emerald stairways of the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, where generations of farmers have sculpted the land into cascading layers of green. Located just north of Ubud, this iconic landscape is not only photogenic but a living testament to Bali’s ancient subak irrigation system. Visit at sunrise or sunset for golden light, birdsong, and a serene atmosphere that makes this one of Bali’s most quietly powerful walks.
Ubud’s Hidden Waterfalls
Tucked deep within the jungle around Ubud lie some of Bali’s most enchanting waterfalls — from Tegenungan to Tibumana and Kanto Lampo. Follow winding paths past vines and volcanic rock to reach cool, cascading pools surrounded by birdsong and mist. Ideal for a refreshing swim or simply soaking in the serenity, each waterfall offers a moment of tropical stillness in Bali’s rainforest heart.
