4 Days in Bali Itinerary – Guide for Your First Visit

Juwuk Manis Rice Fields in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Bali, Indonesia has a special place in our hearts and is one of our favorite places that we’ve been to. 

We know. Everyone raves about Bali with people spending months here and even having honeymoons in Bali .

There is a good reason why – natural beauty, amazing adventures , picturesque landscapes, friendly locals, fantastic restaurants , best waterfalls , sacred temples, cooking classes , budget-friendly , and so much more.

We had limited time in Bali (only four days) and made the most of it! We originally planned to spend a weekend, but 2 days in Bali isn’t enough!

Here is a recommended Bali itinerary for 4 days to maximize your time and serve as an introduction to the island life for your first visit.

This itinerary includes where to go and what to see in Bali in 4 days, what to do, places to eat, transportation, accommodations, and things to consider. It also assumes that you have four full days dedicated to exploring Bali.

Are you ready to explore this amazing and beautiful island?

How This Itinerary is Organized

With the limited time that we have for our travels, this itinerary focuses on seeing the top bucket list sights each day. 

We recommend seeing at least 2-3 places per day , especially if the attractions are in the same area. 

Many of the attractions are far apart so grouping attractions in the same area will help with a shorter travel time. 

Plus, we don’t want you to be burned out from the travel. You deserve some relaxing time at the end of the day to spend at the pool or beach. 

With this itinerary, we didn’t get a chance to fully visit south of Bali such as Canggu , Seminyak (where you can try amazing cafes ), Nusa Dua, or the western side.  

In addition, there are a few neighboring islands that need a few days , such as Nusa Islands ( you’ll need at least two days in Nusa Penida ) or Gili Islands (where you can swim with turtles ). There is too much to see in Bali! 

If you have more time to explore, check out this post on how to spend 10 days in Bali or our 2 weeks itinerary . You will want to have more time on the island.

As with where to be based for this itinerary, it’s a personal preference. We love to stay in the Ubud area, which is inland. It’s the perfect place for nature – gorgeous jungle areas, rice fields, tons of waterfalls, and more. But, we’ll share options on where to stay below.

Bali Itinerary Day 1 – Arrival

You’ve arrived at Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International or Domestic Airport (airport code: DPS). Hooray! 

Depending on where you flew in, you’ll be either wired and ready to explore the area or exhausted from the long flight.

If you have the energy, consider spending some time in Kuta, Seminyak, or Tanah Lot before departing to your hotel location. 

We suggest that you choose one of these places before heading to your accommodation. 

Kuta is a well-known beach resort area. 

It’s the closest area to the airport and takes less than 10 minutes by taxi or private driver. Therefore, it’s packed with tourists, especially during the evening with the party scene. 

Kuta is suitable for a day trip or to stay for one night. You don’t need to spend much time in Kuta as there are other more picturesque places to visit on the island. 

Some of the best things to do in Kuta are surfing , shopping, and relaxing on the beach. 

If you want to relax on the beach, visit one or all of these beaches: Kuta Beach , Pantai Jerman Beach, and Pantai Segara Beach . 

One of the unique things about Pantai Jerman Beach is that the end of the walking path has a view of the airport so you’ll see planes landing and departing from the runway . It’s a cool view if you’re into airplanes.

To be honest, we think the beaches in Kuta are average and a bit dirty. We think the beaches in the Seminyak area are better. 

Seminyak is a fantastic spot to spend a few hours or a whole day. Read our post on visiting Seminyak in a day here . 

This area is known for luxury and high-end resorts and accommodations, yet it’s the perfect spot to relax with the endless black sandy beaches and beach clubs, shopping, and good eats. 

Check out our post on cheap places to eat in Seminyak here . 

Seminyak is located 7 to 9 kilometers (4.3 to 5.6 miles) away from the airport. It’ll take about 30 minutes to travel there by car. 

If you have the chance, you’ll want to stay in the late afternoon to see the sunset . It’s a beautiful view of bright pinks, purples, and oranges in the skies. 

Seminyak Beach area stretches for miles. We usually stop by Double Six Beach for sunset viewing. 

Orange and purple skies for sunset with the ocean reflection at Seminyak Beach

The sunsets are gorgeous from Seminyak Beach area.

Tanah Lot is one of the iconic temples in Bali. It’s unique as the main temple area is located in the ocean, about 300 meters from the mainland. 

Before you enter the main Tanah Lot area, you’ll walk along a walkway with shops and restaurants. Don’t forget to use your bargaining skills if you’re interested in souvenirs. Also, indulge yourself with coconut ice cream and your choice of toppings. The coconut shell is used as a natural bowl. 

It’s best to visit Tanah Lot during the early morning, late afternoon, or sunset. Just a heads up that this place is very crowded, especially if there are ceremonies. 

If you’re able to time the tides, definitely check it out when the tide is low so you can walk directly to the temple. 

Otherwise, you can view the temple from the mainland. It’s still lovely to see the temple from afar. There is a flat walking path along the cliffside so you can see the ocean views and smaller temples. 

You can walk down towards the Tanah Lot Temple and close to the ocean, but don’t go too far into the water as Security will blow their whistle. 

There is a holy snake at the bottom of the cliff area to the left side. Unfortunately, you can’t see the snake unless you pay a small fee. 

Tanah Lot is located 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) away from Kuta which is close by for a visit.

Tanah Lot in Bali, Indonesia

Visiting Tanah Lot is a great start to your four days in Bali!

Tanah Lot Entrance Fee: 60,000 IDR ($4.20 USD) for adults, 30,000 IDR ($2.10) for children. Parking is 5,000 IDR ($.33) 

Address: Beraban, Kediri, Tabanan Regency, Bali 8217, Indonesia

If you’re interested in a tour, book a sunset tour of Tanah Lot here . Or, choose this tour.

Recommended Restaurant Near Tanah Lot

Warung cantik.

As an introduction to Balinese food , this place is delicious! 

Warungs are small, local restaurants in a low-key setting and with affordable prices. It was an amazing place to stop by after visiting Tanah Lot.

You can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu. The food has bold flavors and oh so delicious.

We highly recommend the Ikan Bakar Gurami (water carp) fish and the clams. The fresh coconuts are also refreshing after a hot day. 

Enjoy your meal sitting inside a gazebo and overlooking rice fields.

Address: Jl. By Pass Tanah Lot, Cemagi, Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80351, Indonesia

Whew! That was a long day. You’re ready to head to your hotel to check-in. If you have the additional energy, explore the local area, grab some dinner, and/or get a good night’s rest. You deserve the sleep.

Bali Itinerary Day 2 – Explore North Bali

We’re off to a fresh start exploring and heading north of Bali. It’s a day of exploring nature and experiencing fewer crowds at the attractions.

Click here to read our post on things to do in North Bali in one day.

While we visited each of these places individually, you may consider booking this tour to see Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, and Tanah Lot in a day.

Sekumpul Waterfall

We love seeing waterfalls during our travels, and the Sekumpul Waterfall does not disappoint. It’s considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali and a top waterfall in Asia .

You’ll fall in love with the cascading streams at 260 feet (80 meters) in height and the surrounding greenery.

To get to the waterfall from the admission kiosk, it’s a short 15-20 minute walk along a trail, stairways, and crossing a stream. It’s not scary or difficult but it’s best to be prepared.

At Sekumpul Waterfall, relax at the waterfall, take a swim in the pool area, and consider visiting Fiji Waterfalls which is next door.

Justin sits on top of a rock to get a photo with the Sekumpul Waterfall in North Bali. There are three cascading falls surrounded by a luscious forest.

Sekumpul Waterfall is a must-see attraction when you visit North Bali.

Sekumpul Waterfall Entrance Fee: Varies

Note: It’s now required to have a tour guide to go down to the waterfall. 

During our visit a few years ago, we saw many kiosks encouraging us to pull over to have a tour guide. We skipped these and went straight to the main ticket office. 

But it looks like things have changed since our last visit as visitors have been hassled and charged between 150,000 to 200,000 IDR ($10 to 13.30) per person, depending on the length of the journey. So it’s up to you whether you want to visit this place.  

Address: Sekumpul, Sawan, Lemukih, Sawan, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali 81171, Indonesia

Book a private tour of Sekumpul Waterfall here. 

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is a small complex that is absolutely stunning. The garden area is luscious green with unique sculptures. 

The most famous aspect of this place is Lingga Petak Temple . It’s a famous water temple in Lake Bratan and contains holy water. 

Unfortunately, the temple is not accessible from the mainland , unlike Tanah Lot. However, you can hire a wooden boat to kayak around the temple.

When you continue around the temple grounds, there is a section to take Instagrammable photos with Pura Ulun Danu Beratan signage. If you want to go to a partitioned-off area of the lake and walk through the lake, then you’ll need to pay another small admission fee. 

There is also a small petting zoo area where you can take photos with animals such as owls and rabbits. Donations are requested to help care for the animals. 

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is a beautiful temple located in North Bali's Lake Beratan. You're not able to enter the small water temple, yet you can view it from the main walking path or via small boat.

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is a popular temple to visit in North Bali.

Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Entrance Fee: 75,000 IDR ($5.20) for adults, 50,000 IDR ($3.50) for children. A water bottle is included in the price. 

Address: Danau Beratan, Candikuning, Baturiti, Tabanan Regency, Bali 82191, Indonesia

Book a tour with Sekumpul Waterfall & Ulun Danu Beratan here.

The Bloom Garden (Optional)

Check out The Bloom Garden by Pura Ulun Danu Beratan. If you want to visit a garden with colorful flowers and topiary and take pretty photos, then this is the place to visit.

The garden is a 10-minute drive from Ulun Dan Beratan so it’s easy to combine on the same visit. 

Address: Br. Batusesa, Candikuning, Baturiti, Tabanan Regency, Bali 82191

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace

Bali is known for its endless rice fields. 

One of the well-known and impressive rice fields is Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, a UNESCO World Heritage site , in the Tabanan area. The rice fields are huge at over 600 hectares.

You can easily spend a few hours walking through the various walking paths in the area . There are several stops along the hiking path where you can talk to a local, hear the history of the fields, and even take photos with the scarecrows.

It’s best to come when it’s a vibrant green and on a clear day . 

During our visit at the beginning of July, rice was already harvested in most of the area, so it wasn’t a pretty sight. Also, the farmers burned the dry crops to make room for the new harvest. Avoid this time if you’re sensitive to smoke. 

Jatiluwih rice terrace has beautiful cascading rice fields and palm trees. Depending on your time of visit, the rice fields can be a luscious green or brown depending on the harvest season.

Jatiluwih rice terrace is one of the top UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit in Bali.

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace Entrance Fee: 40,000 IDR ($2.70)

Address: Jalan Jatiluwih No No.Desa, Jatiluwih, Penebel, Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali 82152, Indonesia

Pura Luhur Batukau (Optional)

Despite visiting the popular temples, there is something serene and peaceful about visiting the smaller and intimate, Pura Luhur Batukau (Luhur Batukau Temple). 

It’s a quiet temple on the slopes of Mount Batukaru and known to protect from evil spirits.

Since we visited at the end of the day, we were the only ones there.

The best part about this temple is how untouched it is with moss covering the temple walls.

In the back of the temple complex is a small lake that overlooks a smaller temple in the center of the lake. The lake also has huge koi fish if you love to see fish.

What a cool and rustic vibe to this place.

Recommended Restaurant in North Bali, Tabanan Area

If you’re carving Chinese-Indonesian food, then come to this place! There are plenty of noodles and rice dishes to choose from. The Bakmi Goreng Special noodle is yummy.

Prices are reasonable and you get a lovely view of the luscious rice fields and even see a welcome sign in the fields.

The hot matcha latte is also delicious.

This restaurant has several locations throughout Bali, such as in Denpasar.

Bali Itinerary Day 3 – Explore East Bali

On this day, we’re heading to East Bali to visit the local attractions. Similar to North Bali, there aren’t as many crowds on the east side. 

Check out our post on things to do in East Bali .

If you’re pressed for time, consider booking this East Bali tour which includes places that we visited below. 

Pura Lempuyang 

You can’t visit East Bali without going to Pura Lempuyang (Lempuyang Temple). 

It’s one of our favorite temples that we visited especially when you see the views of Mount Agung from the “Gateway to Heaven” at the first temple . 

At the first gate, it’s where everyone takes the famous Instagram-worthy shot. Hopefully, it’s a clear day so you can see Mount Agung in the background.

Note: Since this place has become overly popular, the process has changed with the photo session. You must arrive early (before 8:00am), grab a number, and wait until your number is called. It can be a long process – over 2-3 hours, so you may spend a long time at this location. 

This complex is huge and has 7 temples further up the mountain. While most visit the first one, there will be extra time until your number is called. 

Walk or take a motorbike to visit the second temple, and hike up the mountain to visit the rest of them. You may see some monkeys along the way up.

We're holding hands at the famous Pura Lempuyang's Gateway to Heaven with a reflection at the bottom. This is one of the top things to do in East Bali, Indonesia.

This is one of our favorite photos from Pura Lempuyang with some photo magic for the reflection.

Pura Lempuyang Entrance Fee: 55,000 IDR ($3.70 USD)

Address: Jl. Pura Telaga Mas Lempuyang, Tri Buana, Kec. Karangasem, Kabupaten Karangasem, Bali 80852, Indonesia

Book this exciting full-day Instagram Shots Tour. 

Or, go on a Temples Tour here. 

Lahangan Sweet 

The long wait time for Lempuyang Temple may be off-putting, so a fantastic alternative is Lahangan Sweet. 

It’s a new attraction in the same area as Lempuyang where you can take beautiful photos of Mount Agung on treehouses and high in the skies. 

There are also fun spots to take photos, such as the large “Lahangan Sweet” Hollywood letters, boats, and other sections. 

Since this place is still a secret, you don’t need to worry about the crowds yet. 

It’s recommended to visit this place early in the morning . You’ll have the best visibility with clear skies. It’s possible to visit around sunset time. But, when the fog rolls in, the visibility is zero. 

To get here, you can either hike up about 15 minutes or take the Jeep for an additional fee.

Lahangan Sweet Entrance Fee: 30,000 IDR ($2.00), Jeep (50,000 IDR/$3.30)

Address: Banjar Dinas Gulinten, Bunutan, Kec. Abang, Kabupaten Karangasem, Bali 

Tirta Gangga Water Garden

Located 20 minutes from Pura Lempuyang is Tirta Gangga Water Garden. This water palace is not large yet it’s still a relaxing and pretty place to visit.

When you first enter the garden, you’ll notice how immaculate the garden is .

On the right side is a pond with guardian statues and stepping stones. Follow the stone trail to walk around the pond and check out the well-fed koi fish (they are huge and swim around you). 

It’s a gorgeous place to take photos, albeit a little crowded when visitors take photos on the stone so you’re stuck for a minute. Passing people is possible but be cautious since there isn’t that much room on the stone. 

Next to this pond area is another pool for people to bathe/swim in. 

The left side has a nice walking path with bridges . It’s not as crowded as the right side, so you can enjoy the views from afar.

Pura Agung Besakih

Pura Agung Besakih, also known as the Besakih Temple and “Mother Temple” is the biggest and most sacred temple in Bali . 

It’s located along the slopes of Mount Agung, and on a clear day, Mount Agung is such a beauty!

This temple complex is huge as it has 80 individual temples. Many people pilgrimage to Pura Agung Besakih from all over Bali for celebrations, burial ceremonies, and other occasions.

To visit the temple, visitors must wear a sarong and have a tour guide, which is included in the admission. There are tour guides that speak English and will take you around the complex. 

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to visit many of the temples due to prayers and ceremonies happening but our tour guide did his best to bring us to the main attractions and take photos of us. 

A small tip is expected for the guide.

Pura Agung Besakih Entrance Fee: 60,000 IDR ($4.00), includes a guide and sarong rental

Recommended Restaurant in East Bali

There are several warungs in front of the Tirta Gangga Water Garden that you can stop by along the way. 

Unfortunately, we didn’t try them so we can vouch for their taste. However, there were a few tourists who ate at the warungs.

La Grande Restaurant

Our driver took us to La Grande Restaurant which is next to Tirta Gangga Water Garden. It’s an airy restaurant with views of the green rice fields. There is also a bird’s nest to take a photo with. 

While this is a touristy restaurant, the food is delicious. 

The menu has a variety of food options from Balinese to Western food . There are sandwiches, burgers, pastas, traditional Indonesian dishes, and plenty of vegetarian options. 

We ordered the La Grande fish which was a grilled white fish with vegetables and drizzled in a buttery sauce. The fish was flaky and not overcooked. 

We also had the vegetarian gado-gado which had potatoes, cabbage, tofu, tempeh, cucumbers, and other veggies. Drizzle the veggies with the peanut sauce and the dish tastes magical. 

If you need to relax, they also have a swimming pool. 

Address: 1-minute walk from Tirta Gangga, Ababi, Abang, Karangasem Regency, Bali 80852, Indonesia

Bali Itinerary Day 4 – Explore Ubud

Ubud is an awesome place to stay in Bali. It’s known for its endless yoga retreats and classes in Ubud. Plus, there are plenty of good restaurants, temples, rice patty fields, and things to do in Ubud in one day.

Don’t forget to choose only 2-3 of the places listed here to check out. 

If you have a longer time in Bali, consider spending 3 days in Ubud . 

To maximize your time in Ubud, book an all-day tour of Bali including Ubud . 

Or, consider this private Ubud tour here. 

Goa Gajah is also known as the “Elephant Caves.” Although there aren’t any elephants in the area, this temple is a historic archeological site. It was built as a spiritual place for meditation over 1100 years ago.

The carving on the cave entrance is unique as the creature has its mouth open to swallow or eat the visitors that enter the cave. The cave itself is very small and narrow, so it’s not suitable for those who are claustrophobic. Locals still use the cave for prayers and offerings.

Other sections of this area include bathing pools, a Buddha temple, and a forest area with large ancient trees and boulders.

Outside of this temple area includes various shops for shopping.

Can’t get enough of the rice patty fields? If you’re in Ubud, check out the Kajeng Rice Fields and Juwuk Manis Rice Fields.

You’ll love this place as it’s free to access! It’s a hidden gem tucked behind a residential area and a must-see in Ubud.

The two rice fields connect via a dirt walking path. Walking through the greenery and the manicured rice fields is peaceful. The path isn’t crowded with visitors either. 

Since the rice fields are on private property, you are not allowed to walk directly onto the rice fields.

Stop by the Sweet Orange Warung for a meal or to check out the decorative heads made out of coconut shells. 

There are also smaller warungs offering cold and refreshing young coconut for 15,000 IDR ($1.00) each. 

Depending on where you started for the trail, there is a random abandoned building (and now an art corner) that you can walk through.

It’s a great stopover to see Pura Taman Saraswati (Saraswati Temple) when you’re visiting central Ubud. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Saraswati.

The temple area is small, yet lovely with lotus growing in the pond. 

The evenings have a traditional dance performance where you can have prime seating at Cafe Lotus.

Ubud Monkey Forest

Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, is one of the main attractions to visit in Ubud. It’s a sanctuary for the grey long-tailed macaques that live in this sacred forest.

If you’re visiting Bali with family and kids , this place is a wonderful activity for kids to see wildlife. 

Beware of your surroundings if you have food . We were in the area and saw an aggressive monkey attack a tourist. The monkey jumped onto a guy’s arm as he held onto a mangosteen fruit peel and wouldn’t let go until he dropped it.

Recommended Restaurants in Ubud

Below are a few of our favorite restaurants to try. Check out the full list of the best places to eat in Ubud .

Warung Pondok Madu

It’s farther south of central Ubud, but oh so delicious. It’s known for its local pork ribs and its food cooked in coconut oil.

Everyone receives a complimentary bowl of fresh spicy shrimp chips. They have a nice little kick to them!

Everything was delicious, including the Indonesian seasoned pork ribs and our go-to dish, Gurami Bakar (water carp).

Quench your thirst with vegan smoothies and avocado smoothies (or other seasonal fruits.)

Warung Pandok Madu in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

This meal at Warung Pondok Madu was one of our favorites! Yes to tempeh!

Address: Jalan Jatayu, Tebesaya, Ubud, Peliatan, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Naughty Nuri’s Warung

Craving BBQ? Consider visiting Naughty Nuri’s Warung in Ubud.

Locals and visitors come here for their finger-licking good BBQ pork ribs and BBQ items .

It’s crowded and cost more than your typical Indonesian food, however, you won’t get enough of the bold flavors! Come here early to grab a seat. The restaurant does have some vegetarian items (tempeh is great but skip the vegetarian curry.)

Address: Jl. Raya Sanggingan No.88X, Kedewatan, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Bebek Tepi Sawah  

Bebek Tepi Sawahis another great place for traditional Indonesian food and crispy duck. 

Visitors can choose to sit in a gazebo or the general dining area. You get a nice view of the rice fields in the middle of the restaurant.

Some of the recommended dishes are the Nasi Campur and the crispy duck. Prices are on the higher end but the food has very good flavors.

Kakiang Garden Cafe

Don’t confuse this place with Kakiang Bakery which is closer to the Monkey Forest area. 

Kakiang Garden Cafe is a good bakery if you’re in the area and staying next to the Element Hotel. 

We loved the baked goods options from the matcha donut, coconut pandan bread, and almond croissants.

You can also do takeaway orders of items on the menu in the morning.

In addition, the dining area in the house and the back patio area are adorable with the decorations.

Bali Itinerary Day 5 – Depart Bali

It’s time to leave Bali and head back to Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International or Domestic Airport.

If you have time a few hours before your departure flight, you may want to stop by the Hidden Canyon to go canyoning for a few hours. 

Or, you can be ambitious and complete a Mount Batur sunrise trek before the day even starts! 

Note: Hiking Mount Batur is currently suspended until further notice. Read more here .

With your incredible experiences and adventures from visiting Bali in 4 days, now you can share with your family members and friends what an exciting place it is to visit!

Bali is spread out so you need to have a form of transportation to get around. The transportation prices in Bali vary depending on your budget. Here are four options to consider.

1. Rent a scooter/motorbike.

Know how to ride one? It’s beneficial to rent one of these to have more flexibility with your schedule. 

It’s one of the more affordable options as daily rates are between 60,000 IDR to 300,000 IDR ($4 – $20.10 USD).

The traffic is congested around the airport area and during the main rush hour. Therefore, it’s not a good idea to learn how to drive a motorbike here. We saw many motorbikes squeeze between the cars and bypass the cars during traffic areas.

Drivers on motorbikes are more aggressive than drivers in cars. 

Please be careful by driving slowly and watching your surroundings. Motorbike crashes happen often and you see many visitors in bandages. Also, you must wear your helmet for safety. 

Here are two options for motorbike rental:

  • Book a motorbike and check out the options here.
  • Click here for additional motorbike rentals.

2. rent a car..

Car rentals are affordable with prices ranging from 200,000 IDR to 300,000 IDR ($13.40 – $20.10 USD) per day. It’s a good option if you want to visit Bali sights at your own pace. 

In Indonesia, the driver’s seat is on the right side . So, if you’re from the U.S. or places with the driver on the left side, you’ll need to switch your mindset with turning into lanes and the steering wheel switches. 

Please inquire if there is any car insurance or what the process is for any damages during the rental. 

Rent a car here. 

3. Hire a driver.

Hiring a driver is one of the easiest ways to not stress on your vacation . Bali’s traffic is horrendous at times. The roads are not the greatest as they are windy, narrow, and sometimes a pothole mess. 

We always hire a driver when we travel to Bali. It’s convenient since we don’t need to worry about navigating the streets and finding parking at the local attractions. Plus, it helps to have a car when traveling to Bali in the rainy season since the rain can happen at any time. 

The private driver cost can range from 500,000 IDR to 700,000 IDR ($34-$47 USD) depending on your starting location and where you want to visit for the day. 

It’s not the cheapest option but it’s worth the cost and your own safety. Plus, it’s helpful to have a driver when you have a large group traveling. 

Book a driver here.

Click here for a private driver option. 

If you want a recommendation from our driver that we used, contact us and send us a note. 

We always have a driver for pick-up/drop-off at the airport and for day trips . The price is also fair due to the long distances each day. Our driver is safe on the roads and can provide tips on where to go in Bali. 

4. Book tours in advance. 

There is nothing wrong with taking tours! They’re convenient as tours include pick-up/drop-off from accommodations and ticket entrances. Sometimes food is provided on the tour, so you’ll need to check what is included. 

Check out the links through this post on places to visit for the day trip. You can also find tours along the main areas of your accommodations to book tours.

5. Take Ride-Hailing Cars or Motorbikes. 

Grab and GoJek are the most popular ride-hailing companies on the island. You must use a smartphone and have the apps on your phone to book a car or motorbike pick-up. 

You’ll also need to have a data plan, so buy a SIM Card at the airport . 

Or, if you’re from the U.S. consider switching to an international phone plan with Google Project Fi . Get data access and text messages without needing to pay extra fees. We’ve used this service since 2016 and it works perfectly in Indonesia. Sign up here.  

The Grab and GoJek app works the same as Uber where you input the starting and ending location. When a driver arrives at your starting location, check the license plate to make sure that the information matches the app. 

The payment is often cashless as you can pay with a credit card through the app. Cash is also accepted but you’ll need to have exact change. 

We suggest using Grab or GoJek for going short distances , such as in one area or to a neighboring area. We do not recommend using this for a long trip or to remote places since you may not get a driver to return to your accommodation. 

Download Grab App: iOS / Android

Download GoJek App: iOS / Android

Bali has all of the accommodations that you’d want – budget-friendly, guest houses, luxury, and resorts. It’s hard to choose which one to stay in, let alone which area to stay in Bali.

To find accommodations in all of Bali on Booking.com, click here.

Click to see accommodation options on Agoda.

Areas to Consider

If you prefer to stay along the beaches and have easy access to cafes , then it’s recommended to stay in Seminyak or Canggu areas. You’ll get some awesome sunset views from the beaches here. 

Seminyak is considered an upscale area with boutique and luxury resorts and hotels, beach clubs, and boutique shops. 

We stay in Seminyak for at least 1 day when we have a longer trip to Bali. Even though it’s considered a high-end area, you can find cheap places to stay and also affordable restaurants to eat at.

Canggu is famous for digital nomads working remotely and has many cafes to hang out and work. It’s more laid-back compared to Seminyak, and just as lovely to spend an evening. 

Other beach spots include Kuta, Uluwatu, and Sanur. As mentioned earlier, Kuta is a popular beach area with shopping and plenty of nightlife activities. 

Uluwatu is located on the south end of the island. The famous temple is Uluwatu Temple where you can see the Kecuk fire dance performance in the evenings.  

Sanur is a quieter beach area. Many visitors head to Sanur for a day trip since the Sanur Port is where you depart to go to Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida. 

Nusa Dua is an area where many of the all-inclusive luxury resorts and chain luxury hotels are located. It’s located south of the island and is a bit isolated. You’ll need to have transportation to/from the area for any day trips. 

Ubud is another fantastic area if you prefer nature and a quieter area. This area is located inland so it does not have any beaches or oceans accessible. But, you’ll be surrounded by jungle, luscious trees, and rice fields. It’s a popular spot for yoga retreats since it’s such a peaceful area. 

Where Did We Stay?

We decided to stay in Ubud due to the central location on the island. Plus, it was easier to leave from here to visit the various attractions during our 4 days in Bali.

Check out other accommodation options in Ubud here on Booking.com.

Recommendation: Element by Westin Bali Ubud

In Ubud, we recommend the hotel, Element by Westin Bali Ubud . It’s a mid-level hotel that averages around $95 USD per night. Since we’re Marriott members, we used our hotel points for our stay. 

Rooms are clean and a good size, has tons of sunlight that come in, and are also eco-friendly with shampoo and body wash containers in the bathroom. Plus, this place is surrounded by so many trees!

The hotel is located within a 20 to 30-minute walk to central Ubud, so it is a little farther away. But, you won’t encounter crowds and noise here.

Other complimentary amenities include the use of the fitness center, pool, yoga classes (unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of them due to our packed schedule), bike rentals on a first-come, first-served basis, and shuttle rides to and from the Ubud Monkey Forest. 

The hotel also has an on-site restaurant.

Check availability and book a room at Element by Westin on Booking.com .

Check pricing on Agoda.

Additional Tips for Visiting Bali

Below is a snapshot of some additional Bali travel tips to know. 

Check if you need a visa or if you can get a visa on arrival. 

Currently, 90+ countries may enter Indonesia with a visa on arrival, such as the United States. It’s valid for 30 days. The cost is 500,000 IDR or $35 USD, and cash is the only acceptable payment. 

Here are the additional currencies accepted – Singaporean Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Saudi Arabia Real, Thailand Bhat, Canadian Dollars, Swiss France, Korean Won, Malaysian Ringgit, and Chinese Yuan. 

It’s easy to get a visa on arrival at the airport. Or, you can apply for an electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA) ahead of time here . 

Click here for info on Indonesia’s travel requirements. 

You’ll need to exhibit patience as Bali’s roads are congested. 

Even though a place is 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) away, it can take over an hour to get there by car. 

Please account for travel time especially if you’re going to areas north or east of the island. 

Respect the rules at the temples.  

Everyone must wear a sarong to cover the knees and also cover the shoulders.

Women on their menstrual cycle are also not allowed in temples.

Bali still uses cash as the main form of currency.

Cash is king in Bali! 

ATMs are available in the main tourist areas of Bali . You may need to go to several ATMs to find one that works with your card. 

Or, there are money exchange places. The exchange rate is usually listed outside of the building or kiosk. Please remember to check your currency to make sure that you received the correct amount. 

Some restaurants and stores take credit cards but will add a 3% surcharge for usage. You can ask ahead of time if the restaurant or store charges the fee before usage. 

If you’re from the U.S. and you’re looking for a travel credit card with no international transaction fees , consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred. You can earn bonus points too. This is the credit card that I’ve used for years and haven’t had any issues. Learn more here.   

Hydrate often!

It’s hot and humid in Bali, especially if you’re not used to the weather. 

Dehydration and heat stroke are very possible on your trip, so don’t forget to bring and drink lots of water on your daily adventures.

You’ll learn to love eating tempeh.

Tempeh is a fermented soybean that is delicious when fried. Every warung and restaurant has its own version of homemade tempeh.

Final Thoughts

We LOVED our time in Bali from seeing lots of temples, eating delicious foods, seeing endless rice fields, and more. Spending 4 days in Bali is not enough time, but it’s a good start for first-time visitors. 

We’ve been back to Bali many times so check out our 2 week Bali itinerary for a longer visit.

4 days trip to bali

Dear Jackie Thanks so much! Looking to visit for 4 days and 2 to Yogyakarta with parents 83 and 87. Have contacted an agent to arrange for transport and hotels. The walk to the waterfall, is it an easy walk? Is this a good time? Thanks

Hello Vasu,

What an exciting trip to Bali and Yogyakarta! Hope you and your parents have an awesome time.

As with your question about the waterfalls, it will depend on which waterfall you visit. We haven’t been to all of Bali’s waterfalls, but the ones that we visited (Sekumpul and Banyumala) required a short walk or hike from the parking lot and were on muddy, unpaved trails. It may be slippery for your parents.

I suggest asking your accommodations for their suggestion on easier waterfalls to visit.

Enjoy your time.

4 days trip to bali

Hi Jackie, I stumbled upon your post by chance and felt excited just imagining myself in Bali! I’m currently planning for a 4 day trip too to Bali and I kinda felt lost a bit. I’m clueless as to where to stay and where to begin my trip. And this is going to be my virgin trip to beautiful Bali. I have lots of questions because I need to consider my special need kid which I tag him along. He’s 24 by the way. Oh, my BFF is also joining me too. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Hi Aries. What an exciting opportunity to visit Bali for the first time!

It’s best to figure out where you want to be based and then you can do day trips from there. Many visitors stay in Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu as these places are close to the beach and have lots of cafes. If you prefer nature and greenery, then Ubud will be a better location.

This 4 day Bali post has some ideas on what you can do on your short visit. You can also check out our 2 weeks Bali itinerary ( https://lifeofdoing.com/2-weeks-in-bali-itinerary-indonesia/ ) so you can see other options and create an itinerary from there.

Feel free to reach out if you have other questions.

Perfect Bali Itinerary 4 Days / 3 Nights

Q: My boyfriend and I will have a getaway in Bali, and we only have four days and three nights for this trip. Can you please suggest the best Bali itinerary for 4 days? – Patty

A: If you only have four days in Bali, one important tip is to consider hiring a driver and a car to take you around, as Bali island is vast and would take quite a bit of time to get from one place to another. If you don’t mind some serious moving around and with, inclusive of arriving and departing, but would still love to cover some of the must-visit places in Bali , here is the suggested itinerary:

Bali itinerary 4 days.

Why Follow this Bali Itinerary (4 Days)?

As we only have such a short time to explore this beautiful island, we have selected the absolute highlights to visit in Bali, that is Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot Temple, and Kecak Dance, plus squeeze in some chill beach time at some of the best beaches in Bali! We also include some classic things to do in Bali that are not to be missed, like shopping, nightlife, and sunset dining. Last but not least, there is a whole day of exploring the famous heart of Bali – Ubud!

Where to stay in Bali for 4 Days / 3 Nights?

Since we have limited time to travel around this island, we suggest staying in a central area like Ubud or Kuta when you do traverse feels pretty huge. These two locations are also close to Denpasar Airport, where most of us arrive in Bali, making it convenient on this short trip.

On the first day, we check out Kuta quickly to take advantage of the afternoon beach and nightlife, while on the last day, we will explore Ubud; hence I highly recommend staying in Ubud for its location, plus it has a lot of good choices for a calming retreat at the end of a hectic day.

Day 1 – Arrival and Kuta

Arrive at Denpasar International Airport and plan how to get to your hotel early. If you have not thought of where to stay yet, our Best Areas to Stay in South & Central Bali may help you find a suitable one. Right after check-in, head straight to Kuta Beach, get some suntan, and swim since we only have four days to enjoy the sun! After enjoying the beautiful sunset, head to the city and check out Kuta’s vibrant nightlife .

There are also many places to stay in Kuta * , if you like to be in the center of the action. Hiring a private car charter * may be a good idea to cover airport transfer and visiting Kuta if you are not staying there.

Uluwatu temple

Day 2 – Uluwatu and Tanah Lot Temple

On this day, you will check out two famous temples. First, head to Uluwatu Temple and then double back to Tanah Lot Temple in time to enjoy the amazing sunset there. If you are on time, you should catch the famous Kecak Dance, set with the backdrop of the beautiful temple. End the day with a good dinner at Ultimo in Seminyak .

Book this Tanah Lot, Uluwatu and Kecak Dance tour for convenience! *

Kecak dance, uluwatu, bali

Day 3 – Beach day

After the hectic day from yesterday, it is an excellent time to relax on some of the best beaches of Bali. Chill on white-sand beaches, swim or snorkel in the clear blue sea and get some holiday tan. A few of my personal favorites are Balangan Beach and Padang-Padang Beach.

Read: Best Beaches in Bali

Towards the evening, go to Jimbaran for a romantic seaside dinner. Since you are in this area, check out the rock bar at RIMBA Jimbaran Bali by AYANA * after that.

For hassle free traveling to the beaches you selected for the day, plus dinner and bar, I suggest hiring a private car charter * .

Padang-padang beach , bali

Day 4 – Explore Ubud and the rice fields

Ubud is the place one must explore when in Bali before you leave. Walk around the city discovering boutiques, pamper yourself in spas and massages, or visit art and attractions. Here you must decide what you want to do in Ubud for the first half day. Some of the tourist attractions in Ubud to choose from are:

  • Temples – Pura Taman Saraswati or Pura Dalem Ubud.
  • Monkey Forest
  • Art Museums

After that, head north to the neighboring town of Tegalalang to see the classic rice terraces of Asia. Imagine a picturesque backdrop as you explore Bali, whether in a car or on a bike, flanking rice fields as far as the eye can see. Drop by Aloha Ubud for the famous Bali swing as it’s on the way. End the day with a relaxing dinner in Ubud.

Get discounted Aloha Ubud Ticket or a tour that includes the rice fields and some Ubud attractions*

Many tourists also like to stay in Ubud * as it is pretty central to many attractions around Bali and away from the crowd in Kuta. It is also not that far from Denpasar airport for your departure at the end of the day.

The Ultimate Bali Itinerary: How To Plan The Perfect Trip To Bali

Planning a trip to Indonesia and looking for the best Bali itinerary? Whether you’re only spending 5 days, one week, 10 days, or two full weeks, I guarantee this Bali trip travel guide will be extremely helpful!

Bali is truly one of my favorite destinations in the world and a place I’ve called home several times. But planning a trip to Bali can be a bit intimidating as there really are so many amazing places to explore!

There’s no need to wonder why Bali has become one of the world’s most visited and popular vacation hotspots. It has jaw-dropping landscapes, lush rice terraces, stunning beaches, serene temples, cute monkeys, scenic waterfalls, wild nightlife, and unforgettable sunsets.

Bali really does have a little something for everybody, and I guarantee that if you follow this Bali travel itinerary, you will fall in love with this island just as much as I have!

While tourism in Bali has exploded in recent years due to the popularity of Instagram, it definitely lives up to the hype because there is a LOT more to this island than what you see on social media. Don’t let the annoying Bali IG couples + IG influencers deter you from planning a trip here because it is a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia!

Tip: Add something unique to your Bali travel plan by choosing to go glamping in Bali  instead of staying at a hotel.

The Ultimate Bali Itinerary

Whether you’re only spending a few days, two weeks, or even an entire month, this Bali Itinerary guide will go into loads of detail about what to expect about visiting this island, the best things to do, what to pack for Bali, when to go, insider travel tips, and loads more.  

So without further ado, let’s get started!

10 Days in Bali Itinerary

WHAT ARE THE BEST MONTHS TO VISIT BALI?

Bali is an incredible destination to visit year-round, and if you’ve only got limited time off work, I would say book that ticket no matter what! Being located in Southeast Asia, the weather in Bali is exceptionally tropical, so you can expect hot and humid temperatures pretty much every day, but there are two main seasons – the wet and dry months.

The rainy season in Bali is from October to April, and the dry season is between May – September.

That said, traveling to Bali during the rainy season is NOT an issue. I LIVED in Bali in December & January (known as the wettest months of the year), and I barely even noticed the rain.

Yes, some days were worse than others, but more often than not – every day was beautifully sunny blue skies and perfect beach weather.

Uluwatu - Bali Itinerary Travel Guide

According to Bali.com, “ The best time to come to Bali is April, May, June and September, just before and just after high season. It’s still the dry season, it’s slightly less humid, and room prices and villa rentals can be 30-50% cheaper than during high season. Many shops offer sales and promotions, restaurants are less crowded in those mid-season months, and in general, Bali is a bit more relaxed. October is not too bad either, still much less rain than November (usually, check the rainfall chart).”

I agree with that statement for sure, but traveling to Bali during Christmas time & New Year’s Eve can be an incredible experience. I spent Christmas Day lounging at a day club and absolutely loved it!  

Travel Itinerary for Bali

IS BALI A DANGEROUS PLACE TO VISIT?

Absolutely not! Bali is completely safe to visit, and I’ve honestly never felt like I was in any danger while there. While just like a vacation to anywhere in the world, you want to make sure you’re traveling wisely and acting responsibly.

The only dangerous or unsafe behavior I’ve heard of is from “motorcycle thieves or purse-snatchers.” These are people that will try and grab purses or backpacks from people while riding on the back of a motorcycle. But as long as you pay attention to your belongings, nothing bad will happen.  

What I will  say in this section, though, is that you NEED to be extremely careful if you decide to rent a scooter in Bali. I’d say that’s actually the most dangerous thing on the island! I drive very cautiously when riding my moto , and I’ve never been in an accident (knock on wood), but I’ve had several friends end up in the hospital with serious injuries.

Nevertheless, I wouldn’t let that stop you from enjoying the feeling of exploring the island on two wheels. The scooter rides through rice terraces are one of my favorite things about living in Bali, and it’s a great, cheap, and efficient way to experience Bali. Just make sure the person driving is confident and skilled. You should also avoid driving during peak traffic hours.

Best Bali Trip Travel Insurance

I never travel anywhere without booking a travel insurance policy . This is essential for all Bali visitors!

So I’ll repeat…

Please, do NOT visit Bali WITHOUT Travel Insurance!

It’s unfortunately all too common that people come to Bali, get into a scooter accident, and end up needing a lot of medical attention. This, as you can imagine, is not cheap, and while the Bintangs and good vibes are, don’t expect medical treatment as a foreigner to also be of great value! These bills will add up, and sometimes they won’t even operate before they know you’re covered.

I’ve had at least 4 friends now get in serious accidents, but only half of them had travel insurance to cover their needs. Trust me – especially if you plan on driving or getting on the back of a moto (which you most likely will), you’ll want peace of mind to make sure you’re covered.

You also need to consider other issues that could arise, such as theft, boat sinking or water damage, or catching dengue. Trust me when I say these warnings aren’t to scare you, but real-life examples I’ve seen during my time in Bali.

Bali Itinerary

I highly recommend HeyMondo due to its extensive range of cover for all situations and trip lengths. Their fair pricing and handy app allow you to manage any claims within the app and access free assistance online. This means you don’t need to rack up an expensive phone bill in Indonesia, where the charges are steep!

Nowadays, I would never travel without insurance again, especially after hearing so many of those (expensive and dangerous) horror stories from other travelers I’ve met. So, whether you need a single trip cover for two weeks in Bali or an affordable annual cover for multiple trips worldwide, be sure to buy your travel insurance before you travel, knowing that HeyMondo has your back.

Still, planning your trip? You can always get a no-commitment travel insurance quote now, so you know how much extra to budget for your vacation!

WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR A TRIP TO BALI? A BASIC PACKING LIST

One of the things I love about Bali is that you really don’t need to bring all that much — especially if you’re just on a quick 10-day or two-week holiday. Also, shopping in Bali is fantastic. You’ll want to bring back a separate suitcase filled with souvenirs and clothing.

Here are a few items I think are essential for your travels to Bali!  

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

  • Clothing: You’ll want a couple of pairs of shorts, swim trunks, t-shirts, sandals, and comfortable adventure shoes. Add one or two fancier outfits for dinners or nightlife too. Everyone will have different styles or preferences, but my main clothing tip would be to keep it light. Quick-drying clothes will be helpful, mainly because you will sweat up a storm.  
  • Portable charger: Anker PowerCore Portable Charger  is one of the smallest and lightest power banks available. I carry this with me everywhere I go because I’m using my iPhone a bit more than I care to admit! Well, when you’re exploring Bali, you’ll definitely want a portable charger.
  • Microfiber towel: This Rainleaf MicroFiber Towel  is budget-friendly and stylish. Plus, a quick-drying towel is a must for visiting Bali. You’ll find yourself hiking, sweating, and swimming often – and you’re really going to want one of these. I just bought one of these myself, and it’s the #1 best seller on Amazon!
  • Quality sunscreen: The sun is super intense in Bali, and you’ll be out in the sun often during this Bali itinerary. So, make sure you buy some decent sunscreen before you get to Bali because it costs SO much more out there for some reason. I personally use this Neutrogena Lightweight & Water Resistant SPF,  and I love it!
  • Mosquito repellent: Unfortunately, mosquitos are flying all over the place in Bali. And you really want to protect yourself when you go on long adventures. I recommend this Mosquito Repellent Bracelet . If you’re just shopping around Seminyak or chilling in Canggu, I wouldn’t worry too much, but if you’re out in nature, definitely put some on!  
  • Go Pro: The GoPro Hero 11 is my favorite adventure camera, and I’m truly blown away by the hyper-smooth stability that the GoPro Hero 11 offers. You can take some epic images with this, and it’ll also be perfect for all the underwater or snorkeling shots you’ll want. For the aspiring content creators out there, combine it with a TELESIN Dome Port  for some unique, fun, and creative shots!
  • Waterproof phone case: No matter what kind of phone you have, you really want to protect it during your trip. This itinerary is pretty active, and if you don’t have a supportive phone case, like the JOTO Universal Waterproof Phone , I bet you’ll be paying for some phone repairs!  
  • Power adapter: Last but certainly not least, this Universal Power Adapter  is just a basic travel essential that you’ll want to pick up one of these before your trip to Bali. I personally love this one and would definitely recommend it!

THE ULTIMATE BALI TRIP ITINERARY | PLANNING A TRIP TO BALI

Alright, let’s dive into my guide for my extensive Bali holiday itinerary!

10 DAYS & TWO-WEEKS IN BALI ITINERARY

The way I’ve set up this 10-day itinerary is that it’s all focused on Bali. But if you have a full two weeks, I’ve included a trip to the Gili Islands too.

I think it’s best to do it this way because when you book round-trip boat transfers to Gili Trawangan, you can have them drop you off directly at the airport, depending on your schedule. You can book day trips or rent scooters to explore nearby attractions when you’re based in one place for a bit longer.

One thing I think is important about traveling around Bali is avoiding checking in and out of hotels and Airbnb’s every couple of days. That’s why I’ve put at least 3+ nights in each place, and you’ll get a better feeling for the area.  

The full itinerary is below, but here’s an overview of my recommended route so you can start planning:

  • Uluwatu (3 Nights)
  • Canggu (3 Nights)
  • Ubud (4 Nights)
  • Gili Islands (3-4 Nights for Two-Week Itinerary)

You might not have the time, energy, or money to do everything on this Bali itinerary, but I wanted to include as much information as possible. So without further ado, let’s get down to the day-to-day itinerary activities!!

BEST PLACES TO STAY ON THIS ITINERARY FOR BALI

Bali is home to some of the world’s most gorgeous luxury resorts and private villas but also has an extensive variety of mid-range hotels and backpacker hostels. It depends on your budget and how much you want to spend. I’ve compiled a fun selection of my top recommended accommodation for each destination on my Bali itinerary. I know you’ll enjoy your stay at any of the options below:

Bali Airbnb

WHERE TO STAY IN ULUWATU

Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu : Consistently reviewed as one of the best values in Bali, get treated like royalty here without breaking the bank. There’s a gorgeous sun terrace with a swimming pool, extremely clean and comfortable rooms, and impeccable service!  

Six Senses Uluwatu : This brand new 5-Star Luxury Resort in Uluwatu will certainly provide an unforgettable stay, but rooms here are costly. Its cliffside location, delicious cuisine, and immaculate attention would make for an exceptional first hotel on the island.    

Home-Bience  Hostel : If you’re a backpacker on a tight budget in Bali, look no further than staying here at Home-Bience Hostel. While it has a shared kitchen and barbeque facilities, you can also get a varied breakfast at an affordable rate too.

WHere to stay in Uluwatu

WHERE TO STAY IN CANGGU

Theanna Eco Villa and Spa : Top-notch luxury at bargain prices! Once you step foot inside this eco resort, you’ll fall into a state of complete tranquility. It’s consistently rated and reviewed as the best hotel and resort in Canggu, with excellent value for money and world-class service.

Kosone Hostel | Alternative Beach : I was living in Canggu when this opened (early 2019), and I’d say it’s the best hostel in Canggu! It’s got a fabulous pool with a swim-up bar, DJs spinning music all day, delicious food, comfortable beds, and rooftop jacuzzis. Do I need to say anymore? Trust me – if you’re a backpacker in Canggu, stay here!  

bali itinerary

WHERE TO STAY IN UBUD

Hanging Gardens of Bali | Ubud’s Premiere Luxury Resort : This is the jungle resort of your dreams! “Located just 30-minute drive from the Ubud’s town center and nestled deep in the heart of Ubud’s rich rainforest preserve, this enchanting five-star luxury resort on 3.2 hectares has 44 private suites and individual villas.”  

Visesa Ubud Resort : This best-seller luxury resort has fantastic prices for the comfort you’ll receive. The villas are absolutely stunning, the staff goes above and beyond, and it has pretty much everything you look for in a resort in Ubud. Delicious food, gorgeous views, shuttle services to the center, and a full spa await you.

Wayan’s Family Hostel Ubud : If you’re looking for an excellent but cheap hostel in Ubud, look no money than this charming family-run guesthouse. It has a magnificent backpacker atmosphere, is a beautiful property, and you’ll fall in love with the staff!

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

WHERE TO STAY ON GILI TRAWANGAN

Pearl Of Trawangan Resort : There are tons of beautiful resorts on the Gili Islands, but this is easily my favorite! It has an unbeatable beachfront location near the main promenade. The stunning property would be an excellent pick for your time in paradise!!

Gili Castle (formerly known as Gili Backpackers) : This is where I worked when I lived on Gili T, and I’ve got nothing but fond memories of this backpacker hostel! They organize awesome parties and pub crawls, which make it easy to meet fellow travelers. There is a pool with a rock climbing wall, and all the facilities are comfortable. I’d highly recommend staying here for young travelers on a budget.

Where to Stay on GIli Trawangan - Bali Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY DAY 1: INTRODUCTION TO BALI = ULUWATU BLISS (3+ NIGHTS)

Honestly, there is no better place to begin your Bali vacation than down in Uluwatu , which is at the southern tip of the island!

It’s my personal favorite area in Bali, world-famous for its surf competitions, has a really fun nightlife scene, and is undoubtedly the best part of the island for watching the sunset. Uluwatu is a place that will certainly leave an impression and will keep you coming back for more! Here you can spend your days relaxing on the beach, swimming in infinity pools, lounging at day clubs, surfing gnarly waves, or riding a scooter along epic coastlines.  

It also has a perfectly relaxed atmosphere that I absolutely love, and I could easily see myself living in Uluwatu for a couple of months sometime in the future. There really is no shortage of amazing things to do in Uluwatu , which I’ve discussed for day 2. Since it’s your first day on the island, take the evening to relax at your resort, enjoy a lovely evening meal, and hopefully conquer any jet lag you’re feeling.  

Finns Beach Club - Bali Resorts

If you’re up for it, you could enjoy dinner and cocktails your first evening having dinner soaking up the vibe. I recommend one of Jimbaran Bay’s cliffside restaurants or candlelit dinners on Jimbaran Bay, about a 15-20 minute drive from Uluwatu.

“Perched atop distinctive rock formations along Jimbaran’s pristine sunset coast, Rock Bar Bali is widely respected as one of the globe’s most popular sunset, cocktail, and entertainment venues. Showcasing unparalleled views from 14 meters above the Indian Ocean, Rock Bar is accessible via AYANA’s dramatic cliffside inclinator. Featuring a glamorous sunset vibe, and a seductive after-dark ambiance, listen to premier international DJs as they heighten your experience from a custom DJ booth carved directly into the cliff face”.

Uluwatu Beach - Bali Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY DAY 2: ULUWATU BEACH EXPLORATIONS & NIGHTLIFE

Everyone will be different, depending on how you want to spend your Bali vacation. Do you want to treat this as a relaxing holiday, or are you more adventurous? Do you want to be surrounded by people and experience luxurious beach clubs, or do you prefer solitude and exploring quieter areas?

No matter what kind of traveler you are, I’ve listed a few of my favorite activities in Uluwatu and the south coast of Bali, and I’m sure this will keep you super busy.

Uluwatu - 5 days in Bali Itinerary

ULUWATU HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Visit the Uluwatu Temple: “This one of six key temples believed to be Bali’s spiritual pillars, and is renowned for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 meters above sea level.”  After your tour of the Uluwatu Temple, I’d also suggest checking out the Kecak Fire Dance if you’re there simultaneously. It’s a unique cultural fire and traditional Balinese dance show that is definitely a superb experience.
  • Watch the professional surfers at Uluwatu Beach: There are tons of different bars and restaurants to choose from, but sit back, grab a Bintang (local beer), and watch from above while these pros amaze you with their skills.  
  • Explore all the beautiful beaches around Uluwatu: You’re spoiled for choice here with beaches like Suluban Beach, Padang Padang, Dreamland Beach, Bingin Beach, Melasti Beach, Green Bowl Beach, and Pandawa Beach.
  • Never miss a sunset. Uluwatu is home to the most magical sunsets practically every evening, so make sure you plan accordingly! Find an infinity pool, rooftop bar, or restaurant terrace, and soak it up!
  • Check out a day club: Sundays Beach Club, Finns Beach Club, OMNIA, Karma Beach Club, etc. Honestly, there are tons of epic places to spend a day, but they can be a bit pricey if you’re a backpacker on a budget!  
  • Sunday nights at Single Fin: This is one of the most legendary parties on the island, but they only really happen on Sunday night. Don’t get me wrong, Single Fin is an awesome bar & restaurant every night of the week, but definitely, don’t miss the Sunday night party.  
  • Spend Saturday nights at Padang Padang Beach: There’s a really cool beach party every Saturday night with reggae and electronic music, lively crowds, and a unique location!  
  • Rent a moto to explore it all easily: Uluwatu is one of the best areas on the island to adventure around on a moto! You can rent one for as little as $4 per day, the roads never seem too busy, and it’s just a great feeling!  
  • Enjoy a meal at Cashew Tree: This will always be one of my favorite restaurants in all of Bali! They’ve got deliciously healthy smoothies, a large menu, and affordable prices. It’s a backpacker favorite as well, located nearby Bingin’ Beach.  

Check out my article about the best things to do in Uluwatu for more information. All I know is that it’s simply a breathtaking area of Bali, and it might just be hard to leave.

Kecak Fire Dance - Uluwatu, Bali Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY DAY 3: NUSA ISLANDS DAY-TRIPPING

Located just a short 20-30 minute speedboat ride off the coast of Bali are three idyllic islands: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Penida.

They are all absolutely gorgeous and have unbelievable beaches, landscapes, and some of the best snorkeling or scuba-diving in the country. I’ll talk about this at the bottom of this article, but a substitution would be spending several days on one of these islands if you care a lot about these water activities.

I think it’s a really fun and fantastic day trip since it’s just off the coast, and you can see a lot and still make it back to Uluwatu for sunset cocktails — that is if you have the energy!

There are tons of options, but here are a few of the best sellers. It really just depends if you’re more into beaches, viewpoints, swimming, or snorkeling.

Best Bali Itinerary

BEST OF NUSA PENIDA PRIVATE FULL-DAY TOUR

Review: “Climb aboard a fast boat at Sanur Beach and cross the sea to Toyapakeh on the small island of Nusa Penida. Meet your local host on arrival and begin your private day tour.

Marvel at the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, and then continue to Pasih Uug (Broken Beach) and the natural pool of Angel’s Billabong.

Board the boat at Sanur Beach for the ride to Nusa Penida and your first snorkeling session of the day at Manta Point. Marvel at the majestic manta rays, which grow up to 6 meters in length. Take some time to enjoy a swim or to relax on the boat, before your second snorkeling session. Afterwards, savor a delicious lunch on the boat.”

BALI ITINERARY DAY 4: CANGGU CHILLIN & BAR HOPPING

In only a few short years, Canggu has quickly become popular and overthrown Seminyak as “the place to be”  in Bali. It’s changed drastically since my first visit in 2015. Since then, it has   become a digital nomad hotspot loaded with trendy cafes, co-working spaces, yoga studios, beach clubs, funky bars, surf camps, and thousands of people enjoying the Canggu lifestyle!   

I was fortunate to live in Canggu for a couple of months this year, and it really is a must-visit in Bali. Here’s what you should add to your Bali itinerary for 4 days.

bali itinerary

CANGGU HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Eat at as many different cafes as possible: Canggu is easily one of the top “foodie hotspots” I’ve ever visited in my entire life. There are literally dozens of places you should try! A couple of my personal favorites are Milk & Madu, The Shady Shack, Motion Cafe, Peleton Supershop, Cinta Cafe, and Milu by Nook.
  • Take a surfing lesson: If you’re new to the sport, Canggu can be an excellent place to learn the basics of surfing! While the waves can be a bit rough on some days, the surf camps are awesome in Canggu and will be a great way to spend a couple of hours. Take this tour  as an introduction to the sport.
  • Watch the sunset every night on the beach: There are tons of different little local bars & restaurants along the beach, and they tend to put out bean bags and tables during the sunset. Grab a coconut and a beer, and watch the sky change colors to gorgeous orange and pink hues.
  • Relax & swim at Alternative Beach Pool & Hostel: This venue is becoming super popular in Canggu. It’s got a perfect temperature pool, decent food options, and a nice sandy vibe hence the name.
  • Spend a luxurious day at Finns Beach Club: If you’re not on the strictest budget, why not book a daybed at Finn’s for an easygoing day at a gorgeous venue?
  • Stop by AMO Spa for one of their famous facials, relaxing massages, and an Epsom salt jacuzzi session: I’m sad I didn’t discover this place sooner because it ended up being one of my favorite spots in Canggu. The sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and cold plunge circuit are an outstanding endorphin rush!
  • Go Canggu nightlife bar hopping: There are plenty of places to visit whether you go for drinks at Old Man’s, cocktails at La Brisa, or find your way to the hidden bar in the supermarket along the  “Canggu shortcut.”  Other really awesome bars I enjoy are The Lawn (awesome pool included), Pretty Poison, and Deus Ex Machina! You can check out this article about the best bars in Canggu for more information on the nightlife!

Spend another day exploring everything (mainly the cafes) that Canggu has to offer. Do some yoga, surf, hit a co-working space, cross-fit, join a beach clean up, and more!

For sunset, I’d recommend renting a moto and driving down the road (only 20-25 minutes) to the Tanah Lot Temple . It’s one of Bali’s most important landmarks, famed for its unique offshore setting and sunset backdrops. It’s an ancient Hindu shrine perched on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves.

There’s a small entrance fee of 60,000 IDR ($4 USD), and you can easily spend an hour or two walking around the coastline and enjoying the scenic views.

BALI ITINERARY DAY 6: SEMINYAK SHOPPING, DAY CLUBS & NIGHTLIFE

Continuing on with this Bali trip planning, I’d recommend making the short drive from Canggu down to Seminyak for a day of shopping and beach clubs. Seminyak is one of the fancier and more developed regions on the island and is full of awesome things to do, places to eat, and fantastic souvenir shopping!  

Now, on this itinerary, I’ve only listed one day in Seminyak because the last time I visited, I felt it was starting to get a bit too overcrowded. Still, you could easily stay here for several days and explore everything this place offers.

Bali Travel Trip Planning

SEMINYAK HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Souvenir shop til’ you drop: For me, I think the Seminyak, Legian, and Kuta area is the best for buying all your souvenirs in Bali. Just remember to haggle, or the locals will take you for a ride. Most prices in all the souvenir stalls are negotiable!
  • Visit Potato Head Beach Club: I’ve visited the world-famous Potato Head several times, and it remains one of my favorite spots in Seminyak! It’s a gorgeous beachfront property, has tons of fancy daybeds and loungers, and the food is absolutely delicious! While Potato Head Beach Club is a bit costly (for Bali standards), it’s worth stopping by for a swim, a meal, and a beer. There’s a lively atmosphere, and it can be a great place to meet people – especially around the swim-up bar.
  • Relax on bean bags and under umbrellas at La Plancha Seminyak: One of the most colorful bars & restaurants on the beach you’ll ever see. During sunset, they’ve got a fun DJ spinning, decent prices, and an overall fantastic vibe you’re guaranteed to love!
  • Pool party at Mrs. Sippy: This is the largest saltwater pool and one of the best pool party hotspots in Bali! Sippy regularly has international DJs come to perform (I saw Pete Tong there earlier this year), and you’ll love watching people jump from the high platform all day long.
  • Grab a cup of coffee at Revolver: If you’re a coffee snob, you have to try a cup from Revolver, known to be the best coffee in Seminyak!
  • Party it up at the Legendary Nightlife: Kuta & Seminyak are two areas that are quite popular for their bar and nightclub scene. Here are a few of my favorite spots: Motel Mexicola, SkyGarden, Ku De Ta, Cocoon, Woobar, and JENJA.

SEMINYAK TOURS

Seminyak balinese cooking class & market tour.

Review:   “Learn how to cook authentic Balinese dishes with your friendly and experienced local chefs in Seminyak. Join this fun cooking course and bring back some Balinese recipes and newly acquired skills from this 4.5-hour cooking class.”   

Price:   $35.00

BALI ITINERARY DAY 7: UBUD CAFES, MONKEYS, TEMPLES, AND YOGA

Now that you’ve gotten plenty of time to explore Bali’s popular beach areas, the time has come to make the hour’s drive up to the cultural and spiritual capital of Bali.

Many people plan a trip to Bali and immediately add Ubud to their itinerary. That’s because there is truly something magical in the air at Ubud. The minute you step foot in this town, you will slowly start to feel your stress & worries float away.

Ubud is also a fantastic jumping-off point for adventuring around the rest of the island.

Ubud - Bali Itinerary 7 Days

UBUD HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

For your first day in Ubud, though, here’s what I would suggest crossing off your bucket list!

  • Try out trendy cafes, vegan eats & smoothie bowls: Ubud is another incredible destination for food, and you could easily spend 3 days here eating at as many places as possible and still only scratch the surface. A few of my favorites you MUST TRY are ZEST, Sayuri Healing Food, Alchemy, KAFE, and Clear Cafe.
  • Get up close and personal with monkeys: Well, strolling through the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is the best place to do it. Just be careful. The monkeys at this magical sanctuary  aren’t always as friendly as you’d hope! It’s centrally located in town, super cheap, and a super fun way to spend an hour.
  • Legends of the Hidden Temples: Rent a moto, and explore as many of the beautiful temples in the Ubud area as possible. There are literally dozens, and all of them are gorgeous. A few top picks are Pura Tirta Empul, Pura Taman Saraswati, and Goa Gajah!
  • Do some Y-O-G-A: There are some fantastic yoga studios in Ubud, and even if it’s not your thing, I’d recommend trying it out. My first experience with Bikram yoga was in Ubud, and it was a sweaty experience I’ll never forget.  
  • Ubud Art Market and beyond: Strolling around downtown Ubud has some really fantastic shopping opportunities. You can find some awesome stuff from the traditional art market, souvenir stalls, and trendy fashion stalls here.

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

 UBUD TOURS

Ubud balinese cooking class at an organic farm.

Review: “Discover the culinary secrets of Bali at an exclusive cooking class at an organic farm in the lush tropics surrounding Ubud. Visit a local market and experience everyday life, before preparing a regular or vegetarian meal with the help of a chef.”  

BALI ITINERARY DAY 8: TEGALALANG RICE TERRACES, BALI SWING & CAMPUHAN RIDGE WALK

Ubud still has so many places to teach you about Balinese culture and beauty, like the Tegalalang Rice Terraces and the famous swings that almost every influencer has taken pictures at while visiting Bali. These are all ideal for your second day here.

HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Visit the rice terraces: Located just a quick twenty-minute scooter ride from downtown Ubud is the Instagram-famous and undeniably gorgeous Tegalalang Rice Terraces . It’s one of the most stunning tourist destinations in Bali and will certainly impress you with its sprawling views of lush green valleys, rice paddies, and towering palm trees! It’s completely free to walk through, but I would bring money for any Bali swings you want to do, coconuts, cold drinks, meals, etc.

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

  • Catch the rice terrace sunrises: If you’re willing to wake up early, watching the sunrise & witnessing the light rays shine through the palm trees is a sight you must see to believe! It’ll be one of the most peaceful ways to start your day, and then you can spend the next 3-4 hours exploring the area. If you head there around mid-day, though, expect big crowds and intense humidity (which can make for some sweaty explorations)!

When you’re done hiking around the rice terraces, I’d recommend picking one of the restaurants up at the top for a bite to eat! It’s a pretty epic place to enjoy a refreshing smoothie bowl & fresh coconut water!

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

  • Terrace River Pool Swing: A few minutes from the main rice terraces is this super fun zip-lining and Bali Swing mini-amusement park called Terrace River Pool Swing . It’s also free to walk through and take photos, but you’ll have to pay if you want to do any of the activities. My friend Vanessa and I spent a good hour here and loved it!  

Ubud Rice Terraces - Bali Itinerary

  • Campuhan Ridge Walk: The Campuhan Ridge Walk is the best-known Ubud hiking trail and is a fantastic place to stroll during the sunset (or any time of the day, really). The sparse crowds and the aesthetically rich vistas will remind you why people worldwide come to Bali. The trail starts at the historical origin of Ubud, the confluence (or Campuhan) of the Wos Rivers. You’ll get some epic hilltop views as you stroll along the nice paved trail and will be surrounded by Ubud rice fields and a deep gorge with a river rushing through it. It’s only about 1.5 kilometers long, so it is popular as a place to work up a sweat. If you’re not too exhausted after exploring the rice terraces, I would say this is an absolute must-do in Ubud!  

Check out this video for a bit of travel inspiration and what to expect!

CAMPUHAN RIDGE WALK in UBUD, Bali - Best Hike in Bali, from the Centre of Ubud!

BALI ITINERARY DAY 9: MT. BATUR SUNRISE HIKE & SPA RELAXATION RECOVERY

Admire the panoramic view of the three volcanoes of Mt. Agung, Mt. Abang, and Mt. Rinjani in Lombok in the majestic sunrise over the clouds from the crater of Mt. Batur!

For adventure travelers, I’d highly recommend waking up super early and beginning the trek to the top of Mt. Batur to witness one of the most magnificent sunrises you will ever see!  

Fair warning, though, this hike is known to be a bit intense and is not for the faint-hearted. Unfortunately, this is one of the few main activities I haven’t gotten the chance to do myself yet, but everyone speaks so highly of it!

Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia

There are a few different tours to choose from, and it just depends on what piques your interest the most! Read through some of their itineraries, and browse through all their company reviews.  

  • Mount Batur Sunrise Trek with Breakfast
  • Mount Batur Sunrise Trek with Hidden Waterfall
  • Mount Batur Sunrise Trek & Hot Springs

“Head up the mountain along a less-crowded hiking trail that follows the volcano’s eastern slope. During the ascent, you’ll trek along a 3-kilometer-long trail. The trail is of moderate difficulty, and passes through lush tropical jungles. On reaching the top you’ll enjoy breakfast cooked by steam from the volcano. Sip hot tea or coffee at leisure while watching the magical sunrise. Afterwards, your trek continues to the main crater rim of the volcano, at 1,717 meters above sea level. Take a different route down the mountain, starting from the southwestern crater rim. The journey ends with a chance to soak in the crystal-clear waters of a hot spring to soothe away any aches and pains you may have.”  

Mt. Batur Sunrise - Bali Itinerary

UBUD SPA RECOVERY HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

After an early morning wake-up and a long day of climbing up a volcano, you will be ready for a little bit of #self-care and pampering! Ubud was the first time I booked a full-day spa package, and the overall experience blew me away.

I only paid $120 USD, but I received a body scrub, 60-minute massage, herbal bath, healthy lunch, manicure, and pedicure!! It was called DIVINE PAMPERING!!

  • Relax at Tasku Spa: Countless different spas in Ubud would be perfect, but I went to Taksu Spa | Ubud’s Premiere Wellness Center  for my spa treatment. They didn’t pay me to say this or anything. I just loved my experience and would highly recommend it to fellow travelers! If you’re looking for something a bit cheaper, though, you can visit any of the smaller massage parlors spread around the town!

Bali 7 Days Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY DAY 10: HANDARA GATE, LAKE BATAN & ULUN DANU BERATAN TEMPLE & SEKUMPUL WATERFALL

Next up on this ultimate Bali itinerary is to book a day trip, hire a private driver, or rent some scooters and explore north Bali! There’s quite a lot to see up there, and it will definitely be a pretty solid day of adventures.  

NORTH BALI HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Handara Gate : Make a quick stop over at this iconic “Bali Gate,” which is actually the entrance to a golf course. It’s a perfect photo opportunity and is a breathtaking view of green scenery and the gigantic exotic traditional Balinese gate as your backdrop.

Handara Gate, Northern Bali

  • Lake Beratan: This is where you’ll visit the majestic Ulun Danu Beratan Temple sitting on a small island on the lake, just as you’ve seen in the postcards and Instagram shots of Bali. This lakeside temple was constructed in honor of Dewi Danu, the lake goddess, formed by a volcanic eruption 30,000 years ago.

5 Days Bali Itinerary

  • Sekumpul Waterfall: Quite commonly called the best waterfall in Bali. It’s just a 40-minute drive from the lake and is the perfect place to spend a few hours! Just don’t forget your GoPro!  
  • Banyumala Twin Waterfall: “This stunningly beautiful waterfall is perfect for a quiet and peaceful afternoon in the arms of Mother Nature. The natural pool is inviting with its translucent turquoise waters. Swim in tranquility, listen to the thunderous roar of cascading waters, and take in the sights of the vibrant greenery. Although no picture will ever do this natural wonder justice, that shouldn’t stop you from that perfect Instagram shot!”
  • Rent a scooter: If you’re confident on a scooter, I would 100% recommend you explore by yourself. The roads are all really scenic, and I loved my experience just whippin’ around the North. It’s higher elevation, which means it’s less hot, and the way the clouds sit upon the hills is majestic!  

NORTH OF BALI TOURS

Northern charm: lake bratan, handara gate, waterfall & swing.

This tour company offers a trip that goes to most of these places and would be a great way to see everything with a professional guide. The price includes all entrance fees (which can actually add up) and has excellent reviews!  

HIRE A CAR WITH A PRIVATE DRIVER FOR 10 HOURS

I remember when I first visited Bali and discovered you could hire a car with a driver to take you anywhere you wanted to go for less than $50! It’s such a fantastic deal, especially if you’re traveling with a significant other or a group of friends!  

Price:   $45.00

5 Days Bali Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY DAYS 11-14: EXPERIENCE PARADISE ON THE GILI ISLANDS

Gili Trawangan Snorkeling

Now, if you’ve got more than 10 days in Bali, this is where I’d suggest sailing over to the Gili Islands — one of my favorite destinations in Indonesia! I actually spent a few months living on Gili Trawangan working at a party hostel back in 2015, and it was one of the highlights of my time backpacking through Southeast Asia.

A trip to the Gili Islands is a trip to paradise! The color of the water here will honestly leave you speechless, and I’m just obsessed with the fact that pretty much anytime you go snorkeling/ scuba-diving out there, you’ll be swimming with turtles. There is top-notch nightlife, incredible restaurants, a relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous villas, and the most jaw-dropping sunsets every night!!

Gili Air - 4 Days in Bali

Here is a quick breakdown of every island:

  • Gili Trawangan = Party Island
  • Gili Meno = Honeymoon Island
  • Gili Air = Best of Both Worlds / Family Friendly

To get to the Gili Islands, you’ll need to talk to any travel agent in Ubud to organize the hotel pick-up and transfer schedule. You can pick various times, but I’d recommend doing the earliest one possible. It’s a couple hours’ drive to the port and then another couple of hours to the islands!

Bali to Gili Islands Travel Itinerary

GILI ISLANDS HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

  • Go snorkeling or scuba-diving every day: The water is crystal clear here, and you can see some pretty awesome marine life just off the shores of each of the three islands! For scuba divers, make sure you chat with some of the dive centers to discuss the best dive sites!
  • Watch the sunset every night: Grab a cocktail or a coconut at one of the many beach bars, and watch while the sky dips beneath the horizon in the future and lights up the sky in pretty much every color of the rainbow.
  • Party it up: Gili Trawangan is easily one of the best party islands in Southeast Asia , and you can find yourself bar hopping every night if you want to.
  • Bike ride around the island: There are no cars on the Gili’s, so I’d recommend renting a bike for at least one day and riding all the way around the island!  
  • Enjoy a psychedelic experience: You may or may not be interested in this, but you can buy magic mushrooms in Indonesia quite easily! They’re readily available at many beach bars and shops, and they’re a super fun way to spend a few hours!    

Mushrooms on Gili Trawangan

ARRIVAL AT BALI DENPASAR AIRPORT

Once you’ve landed in Bali, successfully made it through immigration and customs, and collected your bags – you’ll need to get your transportation sorted to your first hotel. I must warn you that Bali’s worst part is the Ngurah Rai International Airport !  

You will be harassed by countless people asking you for a taxi, which can be overwhelming after a long-haul flight. That’s why I’d strongly suggest booking a Bali Airport Private Transfer beforehand!   

There are tons of different Bali transfer companies, and most hotels will offer this service (but charge way too much), but I really love this one through Get Your Guide – Bali Airport Private Transfer ! I’ve personally used this service before, and for only $18, it’s a pretty fantastic deal!

It’s really nice to have this all handled before arriving at the airport because it makes for a stress-free arrival! Most Bali car drivers are super friendly and are happy to chat about their favorite things on the island, food, etc.

Sunrise in Bali

BEST ITINERARY FOR BALI SUBSTITUTIONS

Alright, so I know I just went over so much information, but now I’m offering up a few other possible Bali itinerary ideas! The truth is that every traveler is a bit different, and there is no right way to spend 10 days or two weeks exploring Bali!  

Nusa Penida

  • Spend more time on the Nusa Islands: With fantastic marine biodiversity, rugged landscapes, and pristine beaches – taking the ferry over to the Nusa Islands and spending 3-4 days over here would be a great option.
  • Book a few nights at Mt. Kintamani instead of Ubud: This is a really gorgeous part of Bali, and you wouldn’t believe some of the gorgeous resorts up there. It’ll also make the sunrise hike a lot easier, and you could even attempt to do it on your own to save money!

Monkey on Mt Batur Sunrise

  • Relax & slow down in Sanur: This sleepy coastal town was one of the very first places I visited in Bali, and I honestly loved it. While it may not have the gorgeous coastlines like in Uluwatu or the trendy cafes in Canggu, it’s definitely a comfortable spot with some lively resorts, beautiful white sand beaches, and a nice relaxing vibe. There’s great souvenir shopping, an awesome night market, and overall a solid place to spend a few days!  

Bali Travel Itinerary

BALI ITINERARY TRAVEL TIPS

Bring an international driver’s license.

Fair warning – there’s a good chance that you will get pulled over while driving around Bali! The local cops in Bali are, well… they can be rather CORRUPT. Not all of them, but there’s a huge issue with cops extorting cash from tourists!  

I’ve been harassed almost every time I drive around Bali (for longer-distance trips), but if you have the proper paperwork and an International Driver’s License , you shouldn’t have any problems. Most of the time, they are just security checkpoints on major roads.

If you do get pulled over and they are giving you a difficult time… just try and BRIBE THEM. Hand them over a 50,000 IDR bill, and then show them an empty wall! Simply drive off, and see if that works.

Gili Islands Sunset - Planning a Trip to Bali

BE CAREFUL WITH THE MONEY EXCHANGE PLACES

They are notorious on the island for scamming tourists, so my recommendation would be to just use the ATMs to get your money. Also, make sure you bring a credit card with no international withdrawal fees! Most tour agencies, restaurants, and bars accept credit cards these days!

DON’T TRUST THE MONKEYS

If this is your first time traveling through Southeast Asia, you might not understand how evil monkeys can actually be! Don’t have any loose jewelry around them, don’t smile at them, don’t look at them directly in the eyes, etc. Just be super cautious with them!  

Check out these YouTube videos below for First Time Travelers to Bali!

TOP 10 BALI (TRAVELLERS PARADISE)

HOW TO GET AROUND IN BALI

Use a rideshare app.

There are three main Rideshare apps in Bali: UBER, GOJEK, and GRAB! Download all three of these before landing, and you’ll always be able to find a ride. I’ve never had any issues using any of these platforms, and it is definitely the easiest way to get around. You can even call a MOTO GoJek, and they’ll offer you a helmet, and you sit behind them!  

RENT A SCOOTER

Scooters are an extremely popular way for travelers in Bali to explore the island. Especially around Canggu, Uluwatu, and Ubud – it makes a huge difference if you have your own moto !  

HIRE A PRIVATE DRIVER

For $40-$60 per day, you can Hire a Private Driver (depending on how long you hire for)! For example, if you’re booking a taxi from Uluwatu to Canggu, why not just hire the driver for the entire day, and go explore as much as possible? It really just depends on how you want to spend your days!  

bali itinerary

INTERESTED IN SCUBA DIVING?

If you’ve found yourself with some more time to gallivant around Indonesia, I’d highly recommend booking a flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo. So you can visit the wondrous Komodo National Park  and experience some of the world’s most unbelievable marine biodiversity and scuba-diving.  

I’ve now visited Komodo two different times, and it is a remarkable destination that deserves a place on every traveler’s bucket list! Komodo National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve!  

The color and clarity of the water are stunning, the landscape is completely gorgeous, and getting up close and personal with Komodo Dragons is an experience you’ll never forget. But the real magic begins when you strap on your fins and snorkel mask and start exploring the underwater scenery!

It really is the best snorkeling and scuba-diving I’ve witnessed in my life! It’s also one of the best places to do a liveaboard in Southeast Asia, as the prices are relatively affordable (compared to other popular scuba destinations).  

Check out these Komodo National Park liveaboards to view dates, prices, and availability to see if you can squeeze one into your Bali itinerary!

  • Adelaar Liveaboard (Bali – Komodo)
  • Moana Liveaboard
  • Indo Aggressor (Komodo National Park)

Komodo National Park

PURCHASE THE BALI LONELY PLANET & POCKETBOOK

No matter how long your Bali vacation is, I’d also recommend picking up one of the Bali Lonely Planet Travel Guide Books ! They are honestly loaded with insider tips, restaurant recommendations, and fun day ideas! I know I’ve gone into a  lot of detail in this post (so maybe you should bookmark this for your trip), but these are always handy!

I am a 53 year old female who will be travelling alone and as you may have guessed I have only ever been on package holidays before but would love to do Bali on a multi hotel basis to ensure I see as much as possible in either 2 or 3 weeks. Look forward to some replies – all advice welcomed xx

Ultimate Ubud 4-Day Itinerary: A Complete Guide

Are you planning a trip to Bali? One of the most popular locations is Ubud, and even though it’s a dynamic place, it’s still a gem, which we loved! You’ll need a few days to explore the town and surrounding areas, so I thought a Ubud 4-day itinerary would help you plan an epic holiday in Bali. We lived in Bali for six months, and although we were based in Canggu, we visited Ubud a few times; it’s one of my favorite places! Well, to be honest, Bali was great. In this post, I’m sharing the ultimate, or at least what I consider the top, 4-day Ubud itinerary. I’m also including personal insights, tour recommendations, and a few other topics to help you plan an epic trip!

This is a guest post by Abigail Dalton. Abigail  is the owner and creator behind  I’m Going On An Adventure . She focuses on budget travel and outdoor adventure, giving first-hand experiences to help her readers plan their perfect travel and make the best memories.

Summary: Ubud 4-Day Itinerary

Campuhan Ridge, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Campuhan Ridge, Ubud

  • Day 1: Ubud Town – Spend the day visiting Campuhan Ridge Walk, Kajeng Rice Fields, Ubud Art Market, Ubud Water Palace (Saraswati Lotus Temple), Ubud Royal Palace and the Sacred Monkey Forest.
  • Day 2: Ubud Bike Tour – Tegalalang Rice Terraces , villages and local crafts; finish with a Balinese massage in Ubud
  • Day 3: Purification Ceremony at Taman Beji Waterfall, Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu and Goa Gajah Cave Sanctuary
  • Day 4: Waterfall & Temple Visits – Pura Lempuyang Temple, Tirta Gangga (Water Palace), Pura Tirta Empul Temple, Tukad Cepung Waterfall, Tibumana Waterfall, Tegenungan Waterfall and Kanto Lampo Waterfall

For the best holiday, I recommend booking a couple of Bali tours and, if you have time, visiting some lesser-known spots as well as the more popular hangouts. 4-days in Ubud is a reasonable amount of time, but consider visiting other gems like Amed or Medewi as well.

Planning Your 4 Days In Ubud

Before we dive in, I want to go over some things worth considering when planning a trip to Bali in Indonesia . Firstly, Bali has become a popular holiday destination, meaning it attracts large crowds. Even though it’s still a beautiful destination, you won’t be getting paradise for yourselves. It’s essential to have realistic expectations, so you’re not disappointed.

Jalan Bisma, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Questions to think about when planning your trip:

  • When are you planning to visit, and for how long are you traveling? Depending on the time of year you visit, the island can look and feel very different!
  • Are you comfortable riding a scooter? Or would you prefer private transportation? Consider this carefully, as it may impact the feasibility of some of the activities listed in this itinerary.
  • What are the top attractions and activities you want to experience in Ubud? Ubud is a treasure trove of culture and fun,  so it’s challenging to see it all. If you only have four days in Ubud, you’ll have to choose your favorites carefully.
  • Where should you stay in Ubud, and what type of accommodation suits your needs? Ubud is teeming with fantastic hotels. You’ll find budget stays at luxury resorts, but staying central is crucial to having the best experience.
  • What is the budget for your trip? Bali can be affordable if you’re consciously budgeting, but it’s easy to blow the budget, too. Keep this in mind when choosing activities.
  • What type of travel insurance will you be purchasing? Depending on which activities you choose to do, some insurance doesn’t cover high-risk sports.

After you’ve considered these questions, you’ll be on your way to planning a great visit to Bali. 

As for your 4 days in Ubud, let’s crack on; the itinerary below is how I would’ve chosen to spend my time if I had known what I know now from living there.

Ubud 4-Day Itinerary: Day 1

Ubud Town: Campuhan Ridge Walk – Kajeng Rice Fields – Ubud Art Market –  Ubud Water Palace (Saraswati Lotus Temple) – Ubud Royal Palace – Sacred Monkey Forest.

It’s only fitting that you spend your first day exploring Ubud Town. This will fit into most schedules should you arrive early in the morning or the night before. Central Ubud is not big, and you can visit all these attractions in a day.

Campuhan Ridge Walk

If you’ve got a full day to explore, I would recommend visiting Campuhan Ridge Walk in the morning. This is when there are fewer crowds; you’re more likely to see locals walking their dogs instead. 

The morning also brings cooler temperatures, and early morning Ubud was always a favorite of ours; visit for sunrise to make it even better!

Once you reach the end of the ridge (start at the south end), you’ll enter a small community that sells local arts and crafts; this is quite an artistic area of Ubud. Follow the road through, and you’ll come out at rice fields. There are many small warungs within the fields, and they are great places to grab breakfast.

Afterwards, you can either walk back along the ridge or jump in a taxi to take you back to central Ubud. I suggest you download the Gojek or Grab ride-hail app (it’s the same as Uber) for ease. If you end up in remote areas, you can also request a scooter taxi through the same service!

Ubud Water Palace (Saraswati Lotus Temple) & Ubud Royal Palace

Once back in central Ubud, enjoy the rest of your morning by visiting top sites like the Water Palace and Ubud’s Royal Palace. They are very close to each other, so you can easily walk between them. 

The Royal Palace was the residence of the royal family of Ubud until the early 20th century. It was built in the 18th century. It’s a charming attraction known for its traditional Balinese architecture and intricate carvings. 

Today, it serves as a cultural center and a venue for traditional dance performances, which you can book for evening entertainment. Keep in mind it’s also referred to as Puri Saren Agung if you see that somewhere and get confused.

Conscious traveler: Offerings, Balinese hinduism, Bali, Indonesia

The Ubud Water Palace, also known as Pura Taman Saraswati, is a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Saraswati, who is the goddess of knowledge, music, and art. It was built in the early 20th century by the prince of Ubud.

Unluckily for us, when we visited, it was closed for maintenance, so we never got to enter! Even so, the temple is surrounded by a beautiful lotus pond, which makes it a popular spot for photography. It’s also known for its intricate carvings and traditional Balinese architecture.

I suggest going to Ubud Royal Palace first and then the Water Palace as it’s closer to the next attraction: Kajeng Rice Fields. 

Kajeng Rice Fields

Kajeng Rice Fields is a beautiful hidden gem in the centre of Ubud, or at least they were when we visited! Currently, I think they have become better known, but people still opt to visit the larger rice terraces and forget about these. 

Located in the heart of Ubud, these are picturesque rice fields where you can walk around and engage with local farmers. It was one of the highlights of our trips to Ubud.

Ubud 4-day Itinerary: Kajeng Rice Fields

Kajeng rice fields

These rice fields join the larger Juwuk Manis Rice Fields, although there is a shorter circular path you can follow, which I recommend. Otherwise, you’ll end up way out of town, near the rice fields you visited at breakfast at the end of Campuhan Ridge, but on the other side of the river!

There are a few warungs and restaurants attached to hotels located within these rice fields, which are perfect for grabbing lunch. A favorite is Sweet Orange Warung; I suggest stopping by and refilling while taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Sacred Monkey Forest

  • Closes at 5:00 pm

Once back in central Ubud, heading to the Sacred Monkey Forest is the next best thing. You can walk; it’s simply at the end of one long road: JL. Monkey Forest. However, your feet might be tired by this point, so it’s easiest to jump in a taxi.

Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud, Bali

Ubud Monkey Forest

Sacred Monkey Forest is a Hindu temple complex set within the lush jungle and home to hundreds of macaque monkeys. They aren’t the friendliest and will rob you blind if given the opportunity; they like phones and hats, so be warned!

There are other animals here as well, such as deer and many beautiful birds. That said, the monkeys are cute, especially the babies.

Ubud Art Market

Closes are 6:00 pm

The final point of call on your first day in Ubud is the Art Market or street market. You likely would have seen it when visiting the Royal Palace as it’s directly opposite, but I’ve left it till last so you don’t have to lug your purchases around with you all day; you’re welcome!

The Ubud Art Market is excellent. You’ll find all things boho and crafty: food, clothes, souvenirs, jewellery and nick-nacks of all sorts. If you’re planning on buying, be sure to pack some reusable bags in your day packs. Bali has a huge pollution problem!

For dinner, there are a few great places nearby. Depending on how much local food you ate during the day, you might want something closer to home. Some suggestions are Milk & Madu, La Barraca, or Taco & Grill.

Ubud Bike Tour: Tegalalang Rice Terraces – Villages and Local Crafts – Balinese massage in Ubud

One of the best things we did in Bali was go on a scooter road trip around the island. Although it’s not quite the same as a bicycle, we were able to visit authentic Bali towns, explore rural villages, enjoy beautiful scenery, and learn about Balinese culture and traditions.

If you’re only visiting Bali for a few days, a Bali bike tour should be top of your list for all the reasons mentioned above! You’ll get a local guide who knows the area and can guide you through untouched parts of Ubud. Visiting such areas will be a truly fulfilling experience!

The best bike tours include visits to volcanoes, rural villages, waterfalls, and the famous UNESCO rice terraces; some are even on e-bikes, so make the most of your day by choosing one of those that include these attractions. 

I recommend the Downhill Bike Tour with Rice Terraces and Meal. 

Balinese Massage

Sinar Spa, Ubud

There’s nothing better than being pampered, and I love a good massage. After your day of riding, if you feel like you need a little R&R, and let’s be honest, you probably will, head out for a Balinese massage! 

It’s a traditional Indonesian healing technique that combines elements of acupressure, reflexology, and aromatherapy. It is a type of deep-tissue massage that typically involves long, sweeping strokes, deep kneading, and gentle stretching of the muscles.

The history of Balinese massage dates back to ancient times when it was used as a form of healing for warriors and royalty. But, these days, it has become a popular spa treatment around the world.

The best part is that in Bali, Balinese massages are super affordable! We went to one at the end of Kajeng Village just before the start of the rice fields: Juwuk Manis Massage Ubud.

Ubud 4-Day Itinerary: Day 3

Purification Ceremony – Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu – Goa Gajah Cave Sanctuary

The best way to complete day three is to hire a scooter and go about the sites independently. 

This will give you time at each attraction without feeling rushed. If you don’t fancy renting a scooter in Bali, you can always hire a private driver for the day. Luckily, this is very affordable in Bali, and many companies offer this service.

Purification Ceremony

Ubud 4-day Itinerary: Purification Ceremony

Day three and you absolutely have to experience a Balinese Purification Ceremony . These are known as Melukat ceremonies, which are believed to purify the mind, body, and soul. It’s an essential part of the Hindu Balinese culture, which dominates the island of Gods.

There are many locations throughout the island where it’s possible to partake in this ceremony, the most popular being Tirta Empul temple, a wonderful temple in Southeast Asia . We decided to visit Taman Beji Waterfall and think it’s one of the better spots.

A traditional ceremony includes prayers, offerings, and purification rituals. They differ slightly depending on location, but at Beji Waterfall, one of the final steps is to enter the waterfall and scream as loudly as possible to release negative energies. 

It was a surreal experience and one we highly recommend!

Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu

Gunung Kawi, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. You can see ancient stone sculptures in this photo

About 15km outside of central Ubud is this ancient water temple. It’s built around a natural spring and is another site for purification rituals; when we visited, many locals were bathing and performing the ritual. However, we didn’t see too many tourists; it’s definitely a more tranquil temple that is very suitable for conscious travelers who like to explore more of the beaten path places. 

The small temple complex is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and a pond filled with koi fish, the reason for visiting. It’s a lovely temple, although it is unkept in comparison to some of the more significant sites. 

You are able to explore the temple complex, the entrance fee is 30,000 IDR (about £1.50), but keep in mind that to enter beyond the pond, proper dress is required. It’s recommended to wear a sarong or sash (included in the fee), so make sure you pack one. Otherwise, it is possible to rent these from outside the temple or purchase them from the nearby shops.

Alternatively, you can visit Titra Empul temple, which isn’t far away (or both if you have time).

Goa Gajah Cave Sanctuary

The last stop for the day should be Goa Gajah Cave Sanctuary, also known as the Elephant Cave. It’s a historic cave temple located in Bedulu Village near central Ubud, so it’s a nice place to finish the day.

It’s believed to have been built in the 9th century as a spiritual place for meditation and worship. The cave is covered in carvings and sculptures that depict various Hindu and Buddhist symbols and mythological creatures.

Interestingly, the entrance to the cave is designed to resemble the mouth of a demon, with a large statue of a demon-like creature guarding the gate, which costs 15,000 IDR to enter.

It’s a popular tourist destination and used to be on the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE tentative list so it would be a great addition to your Ubud itinerary. 

Ubud 4-Day Itinerary: Day 4

Waterfall & Temple Visits: Pura Lempuyang Temple – Tirta Gangga (Water Palace) – Tirta Empul Temple – Tukad Cepung Waterfall

For your final day, I suggest booking a temple and waterfall tour. There are many available, but try to book one, which will take you to the remaining must-visit sites, such as Pura Lempuyang temple, Tirta Gangga, and a waterfall. If you haven’t already visited Tirta Empul temple, today is a good day to head there.

I recommend the Bali Instagram: Gate of Heaven Temple Tour , which includes all the above locations.

Alternatively, you could continue exploring independently on a scooter. However, you’ll be covering quite a lot of distance, and so a car is better. Another option is a private customizable day tour.

Pura Lempuyang Temple

Better known as Heaven Gate, this is a temple to visit in the morning before the clouds set in above Mount Agung, Bali’s tallest volcano. It’s a small temple, and the main reason to visit it is to grab a shot between the gates with the volcano in the background.

Tirta Gangga & Tirta Empul

Tirta Empul near Ubud, Bali

Tirta Empul, Ubud, Bali

These two are beautiful water temples; Tirta Gangga is famous for its stepping stones and koi fish, while Tirta Empul is where you’ll find the majority of purification ceremonies taking place. They are both bust attractions, although still lovely to visit, just expect crowds so you’re not disappointed!

Tukad Cepung Waterfall

One of our favorite waterfalls, Tukad Cepung, takes a little work to reach, but it’s worthwhile. Nestled within the jungle in a fissure cave, you’ll find the waterfall has a charming appeal. It’s surrounded by huge boulders, with a small stream running through the lush overgrowth. 

The whole site is quite lovely to explore, with a few other smaller waterfalls around. Back at the top, there are a handful of local warungs with seating overlooking the canopy below.

Other significant waterfalls to visit include Tibumana Waterfall, Tegenungan Waterfall, and Kanto Lampo Waterfall.

Where To Stay In Ubud

Ubud is a fantastic location in Bali to base yourself for an epic holiday. It’s central, an hour from the airport, and surrounded by lush jungle and ancient temples. It’s the cultural hub of Bali and a very relaxing spot to visit.

To make sure you have the best holiday, it’s essential to choose the suitable accommodation for you. There are lots of options, from guest houses and hostels aimed at backpackers and budget travelers to luxury villas and resorts with private pools and breathtaking views.

Since Ubud is in the hills, it’s worth remembering that it’s not close to the ocean. Due to this, I suggest booking accommodation with a swimming pool if possible!

To help you choose, I’ve found three options to browse through, depending on your budget.

  • Top-end option: Five elements Retreat Bali
  • Mid-range option: Parvati Retreat
  • Budget option: Jero Ratna Homestay

Best Time To Visit Ubud

Tirta Empul near Ubud, Bali

Tirta Empul near Ubud, Bali

Bali has two seasons: wet and dry. It’s possible to visit throughout the year, although during the wet season, expect short sudden bursts of rainfall, usually in the afternoons and evenings. It can be a beautiful time to visit, especially if you’re looking for wildlife encounters as they become more active this time of year.

For beach holidays, consider visiting during the dry period, so you’re not disappointed. Keep in mind that during peak season, the price of activities and attractions does increase. 

The peak season runs from April to September, with the wet season starting in October and lasting until May. 

Are 4 Days Enough Time In Ubud?

Four days are enough to visit the top sites in Ubud. It’s not enough for a whole holiday to Bali, but for Ubud, you will be fine. Generally, a 10 to 14-day holiday in Bali is sufficient to have a fulfilling trip but if you like to travel slowly , consider staying for at least a month.

How To Get To Ubud From Airport

Ubud is around 1 hour 15 minutes from Bali’s international airport. There are numerous ways to reach the town, and it’s not necessary to pre-book a transfer, although this can save time and hassle.

Private Car Hire

A lot of visitors will opt for a private car transfer. This is the most convenient way of reaching Ubud but usually the most expensive. However, Bali is affordable, so even a costly option isn’t necessarily going to be too expensive.

I recommend this private Bali airport transfer from Kirana Tour.

Ride-Sharing Apps

When we are in Bali, we use Gojek to book our taxis. They work like Uber; however, they are frowned upon by the local Bluebird taxi services. Sometimes, they refuse to enter the airport, so if you plan to use them, you might have to walk to the car park to meet them.

Personally, I think they are the best way to get from A to B. You will know exactly what you’re paying before you travel, and they are readily available.

Bluebird Taxis is the local taxi service; in all honesty, we have never used them, so I can’t tell you for sure if they are good. From reading reviews, they seem to be reliable and reputable. You can grab them from the taxi rank outside the airport.

Airport Shuttle

If you have already booked your accommodation, they will likely offer an airport shuttle service. This is usually the most cost-effective option, although the Gojek could work out cheaper depending on your accommodation. 

Some hotels will offer a free airport transfer; for others, you will have to pay an additional charge. If you choose this option, you’ll have to email the hotel before your arrival to arrange the shuttle.

How To Explore Ubud

Ubud 4-day Itinerary: Rice field at the end of Camphuan Ridge

Rice terraces at the end of Campuhan Ridge

Central Ubud is pretty easy to explore on foot; in fact, it’s the best way, as any other method is not practical. Traffic can get nasty, especially during rush hours. 

For exploring attractions outside of central Ubud, renting a scooter is the most efficient. 

However, some of you might prefer something else. It’s also possible to use taxis to take you to sites or, as I mentioned earlier, hire a private driver for the day. Some people also arrange for a private driver for the entirety of their holiday; this is also a feasible option. 

Finally, you can use tours to explore Ubud, which includes transfers to and from attractions.

In Summary: Ubud 4-days Itinerary

As always, I leave you with a few final thoughts for your 4-days in Ubud itinerary. The biggest takeaway is to remember that Ubud is a popular destination, and you must prepare for crowds, especially if you visit during peak season.

As for the attractions I’ve listed in this Ubud itinerary, and after spending a lot of time in Bali, I honestly believe that they are the best sites to visit if you only have four days. They will provide you with a variety of cultural, educational, and fun experiences so you will have a fulfilling holiday. 

Remember, Bali has a unique culture, and it’s important to respect their religion; always cover your knees when visiting sacred sites. We loved eating in the warungs, and if you’re a little foodie like us, be sure to check them out too; there is one in central Ubud we recommend: Warung Makan Bu Rus!

Ticket Price: 20000 IDR

Recommended Length of Stay: 3-5 Hours

Location: Beraban, Kec. Kediri, Tabanan Regency, Bali 82121

Tanah Lot is one of Bali ’s most important landmarks. Its unique offshore setting provides the perfect backdrop for sunset photos. Constructed in the 16th century to honor the Hindu sea god, Baruna, Tanah Lot is one of Bali's most-visited landmarks. The best time to admire TANAH LOT TEMPLE is at sunset. At high tide the narrow connecting strip of land is submerged and the temple is cut off from land. Watch the sun spread across the Indian Ocean and marvel at the romantic look of TANAH LOT TEMPLE with its glowing golden outline.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Hermansyah 1107: Tanah Lot is one of the important temples for Balinese Hindus and the location of the temple is located on a large rock off the coast. Tanah Lot Temple is a tourism icon on the island of Bali. In addition, it is one of the famous tourist attractions on the island of Bali that must be visited. Because this tourist spot in Bali is so famous, almost every day, this tourist attraction is always crowded with tourist visits

Trip.com User: How can you not come to the Sea Temple in Bali Island? But it is more romantic to come in the evening! Here to take pictures can be given to the photographers here, very good, and a only 20,000 Indonesian rupiah, super cheap, and good and immediately printed, great ~ There are many stores here that are not expensive!

Day 1 | Afternoon

Nusa Lembongan nearby is the top choice before you leave TANAH LOT TEMPLE and hit the road.

Nusa Lembongan

Opening Hours: Open all day

Ticket Price: 25000 IDR

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-2 Days

Location: Lembongan Island, Jungutbatu, Nusapenida, Bali

Lembongan Island is located southeast of Bali . The island gets its name from the deep blue waters that surround it. Away from the hustle and bustle of Bali, Lembongan Island offers a quiet, beautiful bay and a peaceful countryside. Enjoy a day at the beach while you lounge in one of the many beach chairs. You can also visit the cafes, restaurants, and bars to enjoy fine food and drink. It's a completely relaxing destination.

Ramdankurniawan21: Mata pencaharian utama masyarakat Nusa Lembongan adalah sebagai petani rumput laut. Sebagian lagi bekerja di sektor pariwisata dan sektor penunjang pariwisata. Nusa Lembongan terbagi menjadi dua desa yakni Desa Lembongan dan Desa Jungubatu. Desa Lembongan membawahi 6 dusun dan 12 banjar adat, yang wilayahnya berada di dua pulau yakni sebagian besar Nusa Lembongan dan Nusa Ceningan. Keenam dusun yang menyokong Desa Lembongan yaitu; Dusun Kawan, Kaja, Kelod, Kangin, Ceningan Kawan dan Ceningan Kangin (dua dusun terakhir terletak di Nusa Ceningan).

Trip.com User: This Secret Beach in lembongan is in front of an eco friendly accommodation named Villa Trevally. It is a good place to find inner peace as it is quiet and the view is amazing. Aside from crystal clear water, the accommodation itself is excellent. It has bungalows and 2story villas. The villas are so big but the price is so cheap given that they have all the facilities that you need and can arrange a tour for you. Not to mention the most accommodating staff that I’ve ever met. Planning to stay here again on my next visit.

Day 1 | Evening

Even after thousands of years, the pool waters remain crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and green trees to create a breathtaking scene. Many locals come here for ritual ceremonies. Visitors can partake by dunking their heads under the spring outlets and moving from left to right around the pool.

Trip.com User: Tirta Temple is definitely good for people who wants to pray for something, each holy water site is designated for different prayers. The water is cool, clear and the scent inside the temple is really good. The water is so clean that you can drink it directly from the spring for purification. I highly suggest this holy water ritual.

Best Time to Visit Ubud

The best time to visit Ubud is during the dry season , which typically runs from April to October . During this period, the weather is warm and sunny, with little to no rainfall, making it perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and exploring the rice paddies.

I would normally advise you to visit Bali between February and May, however, keep in mind that Ubud is still very humid in February and March.

It is worth noting that the dry season is also the peak season, meaning that the town can get crowded and prices for accommodation and activities can be higher than at other times of the year. If you’re looking for a more peaceful experience, consider visiting during the shoulder season , October/November and February/March.

During the shoulder season, you may experience occasional rain showers, but the weather is generally mild and pleasant. Additionally, there are fewer tourists, making it easier to explore the town and its surrounding areas without the crowds.

If you’re planning to visit Ubud during the rainy season in Bali , which runs from November to March, be prepared for heavy rainfall and occasional flooding. While the rain can make the rice paddies and waterfalls more stunning, it can also make outdoor activities challenging and sometimes dangerous.

Yes, 4 days is the perfect amount of time to experience all the best things to do in and around Ubud. You will get a little taste of everything, from waterfalls and rice fields to markets and different classes where you can learn new skills.

How to get to Ubud

Ubud is located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Bali’s international airport, Ngurah Rai, roughly a 1 hour and 45-minute drive. From Canggu , a popular surfing destination, expect to spend around 1 hour and 15 minutes on the road.

And to reach Ubud from Uluwatu on the south coast, where you find all the best beaches in Bali , takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

While driving in Bali takes a while, Ubud is easily accessible from all parts of the island, making it an ideal base for exploring areas such as north and East Bali .

I don’t know about you but after traveling for 16+ hours I’m not in the mood to bargain with drivers. The arrivals hall at Ngurah Rai Airport can be overwhelming with lots of private drivers, taxi drivers and companies pushing their services on you.

🌟 Pro tip >> To make your arrival in Bali as smooth as possible, I recommend booking this driver in advance . They will wait for you with a sign in arrivals and they’ll know exactly where to take you. You also have the option to add a local sim card at checkout. Super convenient!

Booking this retreat is single-handedly the best decision and the best money I’ve ever spent on myself. I was a little unsure whether or not to spend money on a retreat in Ubud since I’ve been there so many times and I usually like to plan my own itineraries. But I’m so glad I did!

Spend your days doing yoga, meditating, exploring hidden gems, eating the most delicious food (even if you’re not vegan, I’m not), learning new skills and joining in on sacred Balinese rituals. Oksana tailors your retreat to your preferences and will give you experiences you didn’t even realize you were looking for.

It was exactly the reset I needed after a few hard years in life. I’m almost crying writing this, just because of how much I needed this healing experience.

If you don’t feel like planning your own Ubud itinerary, if you feel stuck or like you need to be pampered, this is the experience for you. It is so much more than a retreat, it’s truly a VIP experience. And that comes from me who usually travels on a budget and doesn’t necessarily enjoy a lot of attention.

But don’t just take my word for it, be sure to read the incredible reviews .

The retreat includes:

  • Daily personalized yoga class
  • Meditation and pranayama sessions
  • Dessert and chocolate-making workshop
  • Workshop on preparing raw vegan meals
  • Visit the holy temple of Tirta Empul
  • A pampering spa treatment
  • Daily meals with desserts
  • 3 nights of lodging

How to get around Ubud

I highly recommend you rent a scooter to get the most out of your 4 days in Ubud . It is one of my favorite places in Bali to drive by myself. I love zipping around on the backroads feeling the sun on my skin and the wind in my hair.

You can easily ask your accommodation to arrange a scooter for you, or motorbike as the locals call them. It usually costs around 75.000 IDR a day, if you rent for longer periods of time you can bargain the price down a bit. You can also book a scooter in advance online.

Just make sure your travel insurance covers you and look out for scams run by both the police and renters. You can read more about it in my articles about common scams in Bali and things not to do in Bali .

Scooter delivery

Get a scooter delivered to your hotel or homestay. That way you don’t run the risk of being told that there are no more scooters available. It doesn’t get more convenient. All of this is included in the rental:

  • Helmet for maximum 2 persons
  • full tank of gas (petrol) upon delivery
  • 24/7 road-side assistance
  • Mobile phone holder
  • First-aid kit and rain poncho (for maximum 2 people)

🌟 Check price and availability here >> Scooter rental with delivery

When I’m doing day trips to different parts of the island or covering a lot of places, I often  book this driver . You can, of course, drive your scooter as well, however, for longer distances I prefer to enjoy the landscape from the comfort of an air-conditioned car.

Also, parking isn’t always easy on the island, so that way the driver takes care of parking while you can focus on enjoying beautiful Bali.

It’s the perfect option if it’s your first time in Bali and there are a lot of places on your  Bali bucket list .

When I'm doing day trips, traveling across the island and on days it's supposed to rain, I often book this driver.

This is a super affordable full-day customizable tour, which means you have the driver for 10 hours and you can go where you want.

🌟 Hire a private driver in Bali

How to spend 4 days in Ubud

4 days is the perfect amount of time to experience all the highlights Ubud has to offer.

There’s a reason why Ubud is called the green heart of Bali. It is lush, vibrantly green and rich with cultural heritage. Traditional Balinese craftsmen, with skills passed down through generations, call these parts home.

Woodcarvers, painters, silversmiths, mask makers and other artisans can be found in Ubud and the surrounding villages. The passion and love for their art and culture are what make this part of the island so special.

Central Ubud is made up of one very busy one-way road, lined with shops, restaurants and people everywhere. At the south end, you’ll find the Sacred Monkey Forest and at the north end along Jl. Raya Ubud the Royal Palace and Ubud Market.

Along this one-way road called Jl. Monkey Forest and on roads that run off it and parallel to is where you’ll find most restaurants and cafés. Ubud really is a haven for vegetarians and vegans, as meat-free options are available everywhere.

The first day of this 4-day Ubud itinerary is all about getting to know the town. I have included all the highlights and most popular attractions in central Ubud.

Campuhan Ridge Walk

Girl walking in a purple kimono on the vibrant green Campuhan Ridge Walk early in the morning - 4 day Ubud itinerary

A morning or afternoon stroll on the Campuhan Ridge Walk is a definite must while in Ubud. It’s free, you get a workout and some of the best photo ops on the island, all in the most amazing setting. Think lush green rolling hills with the odd palm tree and yellow butterflies flying everywhere.

The only downside is that it gets incredibly hot during the day, so I would recommend going as early as you can manage, maybe even before breakfast. It’s the perfect way to start the day.

You’ll find the starting point of the walk to the left of the entrance to Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas and Spa, just follow the path over the bridge and past the temple.

Subak Juwuk Manis

A first timer's guide to Ubud, Bali

Can you believe this place exists just off the busy Jalan Raya Ubud? Ok, it might look a little grey and gloomy in these photos, but we visited in the midst of the rainy season in the afternoon.

Blink once and you will miss the old sign saying “Subak Juwuk Manis (Rice Field) Ubud” pointing down an alley. Follow the path until you think you shouldn’t go any further because it looks a bit sketchy, then keep going past an abandoned house and you will soon see green everywhere.

We didn’t encounter many other tourists on this walk, just some ducks and a couple of workers. A pro tip is to pop in on your way back to town from the Campuhan Ridge Walk.

Ubud art market

Rattan bags and dream catchers at Ubud Art Market, a must while in Ubud

Head back to your hotel or homestay for breakfast, or stop by a cute cafe like Zest , then make your way to the market.

Ubud Art Market is one of the most popular attractions in Ubud, known for its wide variety of traditional Balinese handicrafts and souvenirs such as handmade batik fabrics, wood carvings, jewelry, paintings and much more.

The vendors at the market are friendly and welcoming, and you can negotiate prices to get a good deal. The earlier you get there, the better the deal. As the first sale bless the day ahead.

Opening hours: Every day from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (some stalls open even earlier and close when there are no more people around)

Entrance fee: It is free to visit Ubud Art Market.

Saraswati temple

Saraswati Ubud Water Palace, a must on any Ubud itinerary

When you’re all shopped out, continue to Ubud Water Palace, also known as Saraswati Temple, a beautiful Hindu temple located in the heart of Ubud.

The temple is dedicated to the goddess of knowledge, arts, and wisdom, Saraswati. The temple is known for its stunning architecture, with intricate carvings and beautiful lotus ponds that surround the main temple building. 

Opening hours: 7:00 am – 5:00 pm

Entrance fee: It is free to visit Saraswati Temple in Ubud

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

A visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest is a must on any Ubud itinerary

Before dinner, spend the afternoon at the Sacred Monkey Forest located south in central Ubud.

As I’ve had my share of monkey encounters at the monkey temple down in Uluwatu, I didn’t expect much when we headed to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud. But wow was I in for a surprise, this place is so much more than just the monkeys.

It really felt like we stepped into an enchanted forest. With 115 different species of trees and three temples dating back to the 14th century, the complex is huge, so be sure to explore every nook and cranny to get the most out of your visit.

Don’t bring anything into the forest other than your camera, as the monkeys will steal it. I’ve seen the sneaky little creatures open backpacks, take sandals off the feet of grown men and keys out of people’s pockets. As the number of people visiting the forest continues to increase, about 10,000 people a month as of now, so does the aggressive behavior of the monkeys.

If you bring any food or buy the bananas being sold in the forest they will attack you until they’re sure they’ve got everything. Don’t try to hide it under your clothes, trust me they’ll find it. Sometimes you’ll be fine and get some great photos but sometimes people get bitten. I’ve seen a few bloody hands and legs around the island, so remember to be careful and use common sense.

Opening hours: The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is open daily from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm. The ticket office closes at 5:00 pm.

Entrance fee: 80.000 IDR for adults and 60.000 IDR for children.

Tegalalang Rice Terraces

Sunrise at Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a must on any Ubud itinerary

If you’ve seen any photos from Ubud, chances are it’s of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. Along with the Sacred Monkey Forest, Tegalalang is the most iconic of all the attractions in the area, maybe also in Bali.

That means everyone wants to get a glimpse of it, so it gets extremely crowded. I would recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to escape both the crowds and the midday heat.

From the top of the road, you get stunning panoramic views of the terraces, which is really an irrigation system called Subak dating back to the 8th century. Be sure to not only settle for the view, venture deep into the jungle to take in and appreciate this ancient form of engineering. And don’t miss the stunning Tegalalang sunrise photo spot you see below.

The drive up from central Ubud takes about 20 minutes and is mostly straightforward, so even if you’re not the most experienced on a motorbike you should be fine.

Opening hours: 6:00 am – 6:00 pm (it says online that the opening hours are from 8:0 am, however, when we got there at 6:00 there were several open entrances).

Entrance fee: 15.000 IDR per person in addition to several checkpoints throughout the rice terraces.

Gunung Kawi temple

Pura Gunung Kawi - My favorite Bali attraction

Continue your morning at Pura Gunung Kawi , an ancient temple set in a beautiful valley surrounded by lush green rice paddies in the small town of Tampaksiring, northeast of central Ubud. It is one of Bali’s most important historical sites and is believed to have been built in the 11th century.

The temple complex consists of 10 rock-cut shrines, which are carved into the side of a steep cliff face. Each shrine is around 7 meters tall and is beautifully decorated with intricate carvings and reliefs. It is dedicated to King Anak Wungsu and his wives, and it is believed that the shrines were built to honor them after their death.

I suggest getting there when they open so you can take in the beauty in peace and quiet as the sun rises. When you’re there all alone it truly feels like a magical place, I could’ve wandered around the stunning grounds for hours and hours.

Opening hours: Every day from 7:00 am – 6:00 pm.

Entrance fee: 50.000 IDR per person.

Head back into town and enjoy lunch at Yellow Flower Cafe , a hidden gem in Penestanan.

Ubud Silver-smith Class

11 fun & unusual things to do in Bali - Silversmith class in Ubud

One of the more unusual things to do in Bali , or at least something you probably didn’t think about doing, is joining a silver-smith class. I love wearing the wave ring that I made with my mum in our class.

Ubud is known for its rich artistic heritage, and silversmithing is a centuries-old craft that has been passed down from generation to generation.

In this popular silversmith class , you’ll learn the basics of metalworking, including how to shape and mold silver into beautiful pieces of jewelry. You’ll also get to work with local artisans who will teach you the intricacies of Balinese design and techniques.

Not only will you come away with a new skill and a unique piece of jewelry, but you’ll also have a deeper appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating these beautiful pieces. So much fun!

You can choose between a class in the afternoon or in the evening. You also have the option to add transport and other activities such as a cooking class or a village tour.

Day 3 of this Ubud itinerary is all about incredible waterfalls. Ubud is located within an hour of 80% of the best waterfalls in Bali, so dedicating a day to chasing waterfalls is a no-brainer.

As mentioned earlier, you can rent a scooter, hire a private driver for the day, or alternatively join the popular guided tour below.

Tukad Cepung Waterfall in Ubud Bali

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ubud Waterfalls private tour

Don’t want to do any planning? This affordable private guided tour includes 4 of the best waterfalls around Ubud. Tucak Cepung, Tibumana, Kanto Lampo and Tegenungan Waterfall.

>> Check price and availability here <<

If you end up going by yourself, I would say that Tegenungan Waterfall isn’t really worth it. I mean, it is the largest waterfall close to Ubud, but it is also very commercialized with tons and tons of visitors every day. So I would prioritize the lesser-known ones.

Be sure to check out my complete guide to all the best waterfalls in Ubud to pick out your favorites. In the map below you can see the distances to all the waterfalls from central Ubud.

A stop at Coa Gajah Elephant Cave is a must on this 4-day Ubud itinerary

If you have some time in the afternoon, stop by Goa Gajah or the Elephant Cave if you will, located an easy 10-minute drive southeast of Ubud. and just a few minutes from Kanto Lampo and Goa Rang Reng Waterfalls.

Some say it was built during the 11th century as a place for meditation and some say it dates back to as early as the 9th century. You enter the t-shaped cave through the mouth of a demon and inside you’ll find different stone carvings and shrines.

Outside in the courtyard, there’s a holy pond with six Hindu angels, where worshippers will rinse off and purify themselves. The temple isn’t among the grandest on the island, but it’s still a fun place to visit and it’s easily reached from central Ubud.

Goa Gajah opening hours: Every day from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm.

Entrance fee: 50.000 IDR for adults and 25.000 IDr for children.

Day four in this Ubud itinerary is all about exploring the backroads and experiencing daily life in Bali. The people and places you won’t see on your own in Bali.

Jegeg Bali Cycling Tour

Jegeg Bali Cycling Tour in Ubud - A first timer's guide to Ubud

It was hard to decide on which tour operator to choose for our cycling tour in Ubud. After hours on Tripadvisor going through photos and reviews, we landed on the family-owned business Jegeg Bali Cycling . Their small groups (we were only four people) and the price of 45 dollars were the deciding factors.

We got picked up at our hotel in the morning and then headed to have breakfast overlooking the spectacular volcanic caldera of Mt. Batur with its deep crater lake. After that, we went to a coffee plantation and then started the cycling part of the day.

It was mostly downhill, so you’ll be able to do it even if you’re not in the greatest shape. We felt safe throughout the whole tour as Putu’s uncle would drive ahead and stop traffic for us if necessary.

The best part of the whole day was getting to come inside their family compound to enjoy a traditional Balinese meal. I thought I already was quite knowledgeable about Balinese culture, but we learned so much from our guide Putu who spoke very good English and was happy to explain everything we wanted to know.

At the end, we received a gift, a beautiful shirt, made in the neighboring village. Putu explained that since they earned a lot of money from us they wanted to pay it forward and then give something back. Gotta love the Balinese people. One of my best days in Bali so far.

If you prefer to do a cycling tour on an electric bike instead, I recommend this popular 3-hour tour .

Alternative: Cooking class

Indonesian cooking class - A first timer's guide to Ubud

If you don’t feel like cycling or are even more interested in learning how to cook delicious Balinese food, I highly recommend this cooking class .

Southeast Asian food, Indonesian in particular, is at the top of my list when I think of delicious food. Mie Goreng , chicken sate, Lumpia and Tempe, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. So what can be better than a cooking class where you can learn to make all this yumminess at home?

You will prepare 3 starters, 4 main courses and 1 authentic dessert. The cooking class also includes a transfer from your hotel, a visit to the local market and a rice plantation. This is one of the activities you can do during midday when it’s too hot to do anything else.

🌟 Check price & availability here >> Ubud cooking class with market visit

Where to stay in Ubud

Where you’d want to stay while in Ubud depends on how much time you have to spend in the area. If you only have a couple of days, I would stay in a homestay on one of the smaller roads off of Monkey Forest Road. That way you can walk to a lot of attractions and restaurants while getting a taste of real Balinese life from the family you’re staying with.

In the photo below you can see us having breakfast on the balcony of our homestay, Jawi House & Painter, which we found on Airbnb. We had a great time there much thanks to our host Putu. She arranged drivers, motorbikes, sarongs for the temples and even bought us a traditional Balinese meal on our last day.

A first timer's guide to Ubud, Bali

If you have some more time I would suggest staying in a villa up in Penestanan, which is a little village about a 20-minute walk out of Ubud town. Penestanan is known as a quiet artist community and is popular with expats and digital nomads. It’s the perfect place from which to explore all the beauty the area has to offer.

If you’re looking for budget hotels, check out Agoda . I almost exclusively book hotels through their site whenever I’m in Southeast Asia, as some of the cheapest places are only listed on there.

One of my favorite budget hotels in Penestanan is  Gerebig Bungalows . The gardens and pool area are gorgeously green, with pathways leading through a rice field. Here you’ll experience the true Ubud feeling of peace and serenity. For about $30 you get a double room with garden view, free breakfast and wifi. Now that’s what I call a great deal!

On the other side of town, the incredibly stunning  Green Bird Villas  are definitely worth checking out! A superior double will only set you back about $50 and that includes free breakfast, wifi, TV, AC ++ If you add another $20 you’ll get the deluxe room with a large bathroom and view of the awesome pool.

During our most recent trip to Bali, we booked four nights at the beautiful Green House . We had been to central Ubud many times before, so staying in the calm rice fields halfway between Tegalalang and the center of town, was such a nice break from the normal Bali craziness.

And did I mention there is a swing in the garden overlooking a lush green rice terrace!? It doesn’t get much better really. So instead of queuing up and paying for the touristy swing in Tegalalang, book a stay with Green House and take as many photos on the swing as you’d like at no extra charge.

Ubud itinerary accommodation

Frequently Asked Questions

I recommend spending at least two days in Ubud, ideally four if possible. In four days you will get to fully experience its culture, nature and spirituality. However, if you have even more time, you can easily spend a week or more in Ubud without getting bored.

Yes, there are so many amazing things to do and experience in Ubud. You can visit temples, rice terraces, waterfalls and museums. You can also do yoga, meditation, cooking classes and spa treatments. Ubud is also known for its art galleries, handicraft markets and organic cafes.

Yes, if you work remotely or for yourself, there’s no better place to be than Bali. And Ubud has long been the co-working capital on the island with creatives from all over flocking to spaces like Hubud and Outpost. These days Canggu’s coworking spaces are the only ones that can compete with Ubud.

With rates starting at $12 a day for a working space with high-speed wifi, it should be doable for most.

Some of the must-see temples in Ubud are the Ubud Palace, Saraswati Temple, Goa Gajah, Gunung Kawi and Tirta Empul. Each temple has its own unique architecture, history and significance.

It depends on what you are looking for. Ubud is more cultural, spiritual and surrounded by nature, while Canggu is a laid-back surf town with beaches, cool cafés and a vibrant nightlife.

If you want to relax, rejuvenate and connect with nature, Ubud is a better choice. If you want to surf, party and socialize, Canggu is a better choice.

But hopefully, you’ll have time to explore both. You can read more about how I recommend you spend your first trip to the island in my ultimate two-week Bali itinerary .

My two favorite day trips to take from Ubud are:

North Bali – Sekumpul Waterfall , Banyumala Waterfall and Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and Jatiluwih Rice Terraces .

East Bali – Pura Lempuyang , Taman Ujung Water Palace , Bukit Cinta Mt. Agung Viewpoint and Sidemen Village.

Hi Charlotte, Great post! I was wondering whether you give me some details regarding the scooter/motorbike rental such as whether to book in advance (and where) or to find smth directly upon arrival. Or maybe you can mention the company/contact of the place you found yours. Help is appreciated. Thanks. Regards from Berlin

7. July 2016 at 20:04

Hi Andreea! Thanks for your comment! I always rent a motorbike from my accommodation, that’s just the easiest. Just ask for one when you arrive. Almost all hotels and even homestays have motorbikes for rent. Other that that you’ll find a rental place on every corner, no huge rental companies. Everyone in Bali knows someone who rents out motorbikes 😉 Hope you’ll have a great trip!

I love everything about this. I’m going to Bali beginning of November and I have most of this on my list and I can’t wait to experience it all! What did you wear throughout your trip? I’m concerned about the bugs and am thinking yoga pants or something but I don’t want to be hot all the time. Any suggestions?

1. October 2016 at 23:08

How fun! You’re gonna to have such a great time! During the day I always wear a little sundress, because it’s just too hot and humid for anything else. In the evening I usually wear some kind of thin/flowy pants or a long dress. They have a lot of cheap pants and dresses in the souvenir stalls all over the island. So don’t worry if you can’t find anything before you go 😉 Hope this helps, have a great time!

Hi there! Amazing post, thanks for all the tips! Curious about transport options – we are too nervous to ride a scooter; did you see many taxis available? In other parts of bali, the blue taxis are everywhere…curious if they have a presence in Ubud. Thanks!

10. October 2016 at 18:03

Thanks Diana 🙂 I haven’t got any experience with taxis in Ubud. We used private drivers and Uber when not driving ourselves. But there were always people on the street asking if we needed a driver, so transportation is not hard to find. Quite cheap as well, as long as you remember to bargain!

I loved Ubud. The ridge walk is fun, the dance show is amazing and the riceterrace and waterfall are beautiful. What an incredible city 🙂 I did not go to the Gunung Kawi, maybe next time LOL 🙂 x

Lovely post! Those cooking classes look amazing. I wish I would have found your post a bit earlier because we’re atm in Bali but have booked a hotel that’s located in Jimbaran. However, we’re planning to do a one-day-visit to Ubud so I’m sure you’re tips will be helpful then. 🙂 Ps. Pinned this in Pinterest to make sure I won’t loose it!

14. July 2018 at 18:53

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Nora! You should definitely go on a day trip to Ubud. But the west coast of the Bukit Peninsula is my favorite part of Bali, and you can easily explore the area from Jimbaran 😉

I am SO happy that I discovered your blog!!!! My boyfriend and I visited Ubud for just one day and I can’t wait to go back and stay longer. We plan on going back in April ! Bali really is a magical place :))) I’m hoping after a year of blogging I can retire there hahaha!!

14. August 2018 at 14:12

Thank you for such a lovely comment, Laura! It’s great that you’re going back, Ubud is amazing. Early Bali retirement sounds like a plan ?

' src=

18. August 2018 at 11:58

Just a tip, if you are booking on-line without seeing a place…..Ubud, because of it’s lush green and rainy weather, creates a lot of mold and mildew.

So if you have asthma or other breathing difficulties….make sure to ask for a room that is mold free.

' src=

24. April 2019 at 16:32

So funny, I booked the same exact room with Putu! Great, post, looking forward to visiting next week 🙂

26. April 2019 at 13:35

Cool 😀 I’m sure you’re gonna love it! Putu is the best

Three days is usually not enough time to experience the spiritual island of Bali, so you may find yourself somewhat rushed. You don't want to miss the main attractions such as scuba diving and snorkeling, the beaches, the cuisine, and the nightlife, as well as Pura Lempuyang. You'll likely want more than three days, as many tourists set aside around five to seven days for their visit. However, if your schedule is tight, we have a handful of recommendations to make the most of your journey below.

Scuba diving and snorkeling around Bali is world-class, and is one of the main reasons why so many visitors come here. Spend a day exploring the beauty of the surrounding underwater world. The waters are crystal clear and the marine life is abundant making scuba diving and snorkeling popular around the island. There are many snorkeling day trips that you can arrange and there are also dive shops that will take you out on the water.
