5 must-do activities in Bali

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.

A day with a Balinese family

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.

Climb Batur volcano for sunrise

Not only is Bali a great destination to relax at the beach but also a perfect place to go on an adventure. Indonesia is located on the ring of fire and there are many active volcanoes scattered throughout the archipelago, climbing a volcano is a must-do activity in Bali. The easiest to access is Mount Batur. The hike must happen at night so you can enjoy the sunrise from the summit of the volcano. After a 2-hour walk, experience a peaceful moment waiting for the light of the day to appear and enjoy a stunning view on the area.

Snorkeling in Menjangan

Menjangan Island is one of the most beautiful snorkelling spots in Bali, only 3 minutes away from Pemuteran by boat. The drop offs surrounding the area are home to an amazingly diverse marine life that you can observe snorkelling or diving. On the island, lives a colony of deer. A day in Menjangan Island is a must-do activity in Bali.
