A bit of adventure is not a bad idea at the most beautiful and natural Lake Beratan in Bali. Speed boating on Lake Bratan or Beratan can be the ultimate travel fun while enjoying the breathtaking landscape view of the entire lake.

Artistic & Traditional Balinese Shopping
In Bali you’ll find many artistic home decors, carving on wood and stone, wall paintings, glass mosaic all are exceptional artworks worth to buy. Ubud Traditional Art Market is the popular one to shop unique Balinese art and crafts. Balinese handmade bag is too stylish and goes with any outfit. For trendy outfits don’t miss to check many boutiques for shopping in Bali around Seminyak and Sanur.
Balinese Woman Knitting Crochet – On the Way To Gitgit Waterfall
There are many local boutiques along with brand shops in almost all popular destinations in Bali. I loved to see their various Kushikata or Crochet Design on the stylish outfit. It is better to buy from the local market for saving money and also maintain the unique design and quality.
Hot Water Bathing at Banjar Holy Spring
Banjar Hot Water Spring is one of the popular tourist attractions in Bali. The water of this spring is naturally hot and sacred. Sacred hot water bathing became popular here. It is too relaxing and refreshing. It says that bathing here can give you the pure remedy of any body pain. Many of them found it useful. Interesting fact!

Taste Organic Mandarin Fruit from Kintamani
There are many tropical fruits in Bali you might like to try for the first time. If you visit Kintamani you’ll see many Mandarin fruit trees and local vendors are selling on the road. It looks like orange and the taste is almost same. But locals don’t use Mandarin fruit to make juice.
Kintamani Village
It was worth to buy and eat the fresh and chemical free organic Mandarin from Kintamani Village. Some other fruits I loved to try in Bali are Durian, Mangosteen, Snake, and Maracuya or Passion Fruit.
Seafood Dinner at Jimbaran Beach
There are many beaches in Bali to enjoy many adventures but the idea of seafood dinner at Jimbaran Beach sounds romantic yet interesting. There are many open-air cafés at Jimbaran offers the best seafood with the exotic sunset view.
Jimbaran Beach
I became late to watch the sunset while coming back from Uluwatu Temple. However, I enjoyed the sounds of the beach waves with the taste of my favorite Ikan Bakar.

Have Kopi Luwak or Luwak Coffee
I was too astonished when first time heard about Luwak Coffee which made from Animal Poo. Luwak Coffee is the world’s expensive coffee but you can buy at a reasonable price from Bali. It was interesting to know the whole fact about the animal Luwak who eats only fruits. The coffee beans produced from this animal smells like other beans only.
I saw the whole traditional coffee processing at SW Agro or Segara Windhu Coffee Plantation in Bali. You can also have the taste of this roasted coffee from the restaurant here or any other coffee plantation around Bali.

Love this guide! Just got back from Bali and wish I would have read it beforehand! Great tips and looks like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!
A pleasure to know you found this post helpful. Hopefully, you’ll have much fun next time. Much love! 🙂
Isn’t Bali just the best! So much to see and experience. I’ll have to get to Banjar Hot Water spring next time, it looks beautiful!
Yes, Bali is truly magical. I wish to back again 🙂
I visited Bali 2 years ago and loved it. Unfortunately spent there just less than a week so it’s still more to see for me. I find this post very informative, definitely will consider your recommendation. Did not know that Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is UNESCO World Heritage Site, fully deserved btw. I just have mixed emotions after seeing Luwak Coffee Center, where unfortunately I saw animals in cages. I always thought that they just go around on the fields and looking for their poop. But I guess not. I am all about ecotourism and hate seeing animals being in captivity. Anyways, Safe travels, keep on writing awesome posts!
Hey Margarita, I agree with you and also hate the same way you do. And so it was really too surprising for me to know the whole fact about Luwak and this coffee over there. Just for getting the more benefits they leave them in cages. Anyways thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Safe travels and much love to you!
Perfect post for me right now. We’re exploring southeast asia (in chiang mai right now) and will be working our way down to Bali at some point and we’re both incredibly excited for this part of our trip. This list has become an #OfficialReference. Haha — thank you!
Hahaha, sounds incredible. Enjoy your trip!
Hey Nafisa, what a wonderful post! Bali was recently mentioned on our list of cheap places to travel to. It looks like such a wonderful time. I love all your photos! It makes me want to drop everything and go now! Keep up the amazing work. You have a great page.

I want to do all those things! The food, the underwater adventures, the rice paddies they all sound fantastic. I hope to get there some day.
Sounds great!
