There are many activities to do in Bali, whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, as a family or with friends, you will for sure find something to enjoy during your holiday in Indonesia. Here is our selection of 5 must-do activities in Bali.
For an off the beaten track day in Bali, why don’t you plan for a meeting with a local family? Start your day at the market with the elderly, they will show you a whole bunch of exotic fruits and vegetables. Then make a stop at the school of the village and chat with the pupils. They might be shy but they are always pleased to meet travellers. Meet the rest of the family at home and give them a hand to prepare the offerings and cook the meal you will share all together. After lunch there is still plenty of things to do: take a stroll along the paddy fields, attend a religious ceremony or help with farm work.
We suggest you experience this must-do activity in Bali at the beginning of your stay on the island because meeting a local family will give you basic knowledge of Balinese culture and will help you make the most of your holiday in Bali.
