A Private Bali Tour (Beach & Mountain Escape)

As you touch down beautiful and exotic Bali, your body and soul transcend to a whole new dimension, where friendly and remarkably artistic people, living amid breathtaking panoramas, have created a dynamic society with unique arts and ceremonies, making Bali an island almost unreal in today’s hectic and changing world.

Your tour includes visits to the Royal Temple, where music, dances, food, flowers, and fruits sacrificed began as part of temple rituals to please the gods and to placate evil spirit; the Monkey Forest, a sacred land of ten hectares of nutmeg trees where pint-size, playful monkeys abound; and Tanah Lot, a beautiful temple built atop a huge rock surrounded by the sea; a festive seafood barbeque on the beach is also included. Whether your desires are to pamper yourself at one of the Orient’s finest spas, snorkel or scuba dive Asia’s most spectacular crystal waters, or perhaps tee-up at some of the most spectacular golf courses in the tropics, you are sure to have a truly unforgettable experience in Bali.

TOUR INCLUDES:

• 4 nights accommodations at the resort of your choice
• Hotel breakfast daily
• Extensive private sightseeing per itinerary 
• Private airport transfers upon arrival and departure 

TOUR ITINERARY

Day 1. Arrive Bali
Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your beach resort for your next 4 nights’ accommodations.

Day 2. Bali (Tanah Lot Floating Temple & Monkey Forest)
Morning at leisure to relax and enjoy the beach. This afternoon, set out for Central Bali to the small town of Mengwi. Long associated with the Balinese Royal Family, Mengwi is home to the superb temple complex at Taman Ayun. Translating as ‘beautiful garden’ Taman Ayun is considered by many to be one of island’s most attractive temples and is still used today by people from all over Bali for special ceremonies and events.

Next, visit the island’s most famous temple complex at Tanah Lot. With its spectacular location, Tanah Lot is an integral part of Balinese mythology and one of seven sea temples that are said to form a ‘chain’ around the island. The temple is only accessible at low tide but despite its offshore location in the Indian Ocean, it features a fresh water spring at its base which is said to contain holy water. (B)

Day 3. Bali (Ubud, Lake Batur)
Today’s excursion journeys through the interior of the island. Visit Ubud, a quaint artist colony in a vibrant setting lined with colorful shops, art galleries and roadside restaurants. Here, enjoy a stroll around town including a visit to Ubud Palace and nearby Ubud Monkey Forest, a lush sanctuary inhabited by hundreds of playful long-tailed macaques complemented with sacred temples and ancient carvings and statues. Continue north to Bedugul Regency, renowned for its stunning beauty and three caldera lakes (Beratan, Buyan and Tamblingan). Visit the market at Candi Kuning before arriving at the iconic Ulun Danu Temple, a 7th Century Hindu water temple located on a small jut of land within the calm waters of Lake Beratan. After lunch, journey south to the spectacular rice terraces at Jatiluwih. A UNESCO World Heritage site, these seemingly endless rice paddies offer superb vistas in all directions.
