An Uncommon, Active & Luxury Bali Vacation – UBUD, MUNDUK, WEST BALI NP, YEH GANGGA, SANUR
12 Day / 11 Night – Tour Code (BAS) – Private Tour – Departs Daily
Bali, some call it Paradise, others say it’s Heaven on Earth. With this meticulously crafted 12-day itinerary that boasts the best of this majestic island – incomparable natural beauty, awe-inspiring culture, dazzling landmarks, pristine beaches, and untouched jungles, it’s hard to disagree. And on top of it all, this amazing Bali tour features a myriad of uncommon experiences such as rice terrace treks, village cycling, countryside exploration by 4×4, snorkeling and exquisite lodging, making this the perfect vacation to get away from it all.
Your forgettable journey starts in Ubud – Bali’s famed artist colony nestled in the mountains accented by eclectic art galleries, cozy open-air cafes and a vibrant outdoor market. Here, explore the area’s rice terraces, local villages and Kintamani, which boasts spectacular views of the still-active Mt. Batur. At the end of the day, relax and indulge in your private pool villa overlooking the mountains carved by the mighty Ayung River. Next, say farewell to modern civilization and embark on the road less traveled to Bali’s Northern highlands. Highlights here include visits to the Ulun Danu Water Temple, canoeing across the caldera lake of Tamblingan, and staying at a beautiful mountain retreat inside a coffee plantation nestled in a virgin tropical rainforest.
After a couple of days in the jungle, it’s time to mix it up and head for the beach. We spend the next two days in West Bali National Park, a conservation area of 19,000 hectares of untouched mother nature, sporting an array of forests, mangroves, rare species of wildlife and coral reefs. Accommodations here feature a villa on the beach inside the national park where you and nature become one. Continue south to Yeh Gangga, yet another unique off-the-tourist-path destination where verdant rice fields complement the virgin black sandy beach on a rugged, empty coastline. Activities here include exploring the countryside by Land Rover, visiting local villages and the ever-sacred Tanah Lot “Floating Temple,” and of course enjoying incomparable sunsets. Your Bali expedition concludes in Sanur Beach, where you’ll have a chance to relax, eat, and do some last-minute shopping before bringing home memories that will last a lifetime.
From lush, virgin jungles to pristine black sand beaches, eclectic art galleries to vibrant local markets, exotic temples to tranquil mountain retreats. They’re all here. Your trip of a lifetime awaits.

Day 4 Ubud / Bedugul / Munduk
This morning, journey north to Bedugul Regency District, the island’s central highlands renowned for its stunning beauty and three caldera lakes (Beratan, Buyan and Tamblingan).

After a picnic lunch in the gardens, visit the regional market at Candi Kuning. Continue north to the iconic Ulun Danu Temple. This important Hindu Shivaite water temple is located on a small jut of land within the calm waters of Lake Beratan, giving the illusion that this 17th century temple is ‘floating’ on the lake. Next, embark on an easy trek on a wooden boardwalk over a small gorge and cool streams to the popular Gitgit Waterfall, followed by a visit to the village of Asah Gobleg for spectacular views of Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan (weather permitting).

Day 6 Munduk (Plantation Walk) / West Bali National Park

Day 7 West Bali National Park (Snorkeling & Relaxation)
Situated approximately 8 km off the northwest tip of Bali, the uninhabited island of Menjangan has one of the best-preserved coral reefs in the area.

With excellent underwater visibility ranging from 15 to 50 meters, you’ll get a chance to discover all kinds of marine life, including pygmy seahorses, snappers and even reef sharks. If you are lucky, you may spot wild deer swimming across to the island from the mainland. A box lunch is served on the boat. Return to your resort and enjoy the balance of the day at leisure. (B,L)
