Spend the day getting familiar with your surroundings, exploring Kuta town and beach.Cruise the beach and check out all of the vendors, who offer beverages (local beer, water, and sodas), food, souvenirs, massages, manicures, and pedicures. You’ll see plenty of expats getting their feet and hands done!.
You’re going to get a little cultured today. Barong is a mythological lion-like creature and king of the good spirits in Indonesian culture. Bali Barong and Keris Dance Cultural Performance holds shows at their outdoor (covered) theater.
Take an afternoon half-day trip to Pura Tanah Lot, the temple on the sea. Only 12 miles from Denpasar, the temple is most impressive at sunset.he sixteenth century temple is one of seven sea temples around Bali Southwestern coast. Built on a rock outcrop, this cultural icon remains one of the most photographed temples on the island.
You will head to the laid-back and cool cultural hub Ubud. Surrounded by verdant rice paddies and steep ravines, this city almost seems like an oasis in the lush, green hills.Spend a leisurely few hours perusing art galleries, crafts stores, cafes, and other shops.
Visit one of the most celebrated and beautiful rice terraces in Bali: the Tegalalang Rice Terrace. After climbing up, down and all around the terraces (be careful, some of the paths are extremely steep!), enjoy a little rest and relaxation at one of the 'restaurants' that melt into the side of the valley.
On your last day in Bali, you will have one more temple complex on your agenda. Pura Taman Ayun, a Balinese Hindu temple, is located in the Mengwi Village. The tiered pagodas represent quintessential Balinese architecture. This beautiful complex is not as popular with tourists, so you can enjoy a relaxing, meditative visit.
