Bali is a beautiful exotic island with a unique atmosphere. This colourful island has everything from active volcanoes, hills, mountains, waterfalls and rice terraces to rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, crystal clear water and abundant underwater life. All these beautiful places are made even more beautiful at sunrise or sunset, which are truly enchanting here.
Bali, however, is all about the people, whose ubiquitous smiles add to the island's laid-back vibe. Not for nothing is this island also called the island of the gods. Religion, culture and tradition have been firmly rooted here for many years, as can be seen in the large number of diverse temples that abound on the island.
What can you expect from this trip?
- Enjoyment, relaxation, fun and wonderful experiences (no rush and every second of the trip planned, the main thing is to enjoy it😍)
- knowing & discovering exotic places, culture, people, cuisine and ultimately, in essence, yourself
I have planned the tour so that we can all enjoy it to the fullest, so let's check it out!😍
Right:
- on scooters (they are inherent to the island and it's a real treat to ride one here)
- by car with a local driver
Food:
- For the first 5 days we have arranged half board (breakfast + dinner) at the accommodation, everyone can choose what they want .
- the rest of the stay is up to each person to choose what they want
- Breakfast is always an option in the accommodation
- Indonesian cuisine is one of the most diverse in the world, so there's no shortage of exotic culinary experiences around every corner
Vaccinations:
- Covid-19 (to be based on acute conditions on mzv.cz)
- recommended: typhoid fever, hepatitis A and B
Clothing:
Bali is in the tropical zone with air temperatures ranging from 27-32°C, so there is no need to make any complicated clothing arrangements. Everyone knows what they like to wear in such places, so I'll just highlight a few things not to forget below:
- clogs/sandals, one sturdier pair of hiking boots
- hat/scarf
- sunglasses
- mickey/bandana
- small backpack (see hand luggage - max. 55 x 40 x 23 cm, 8 kg)
On the first day we will arrive in Bali at 15:00, where we will be picked up by car and drive to the tiny fishing village of Amed in the west of Bali. Upon arrival, we will be greeted at our accommodation, where we will unpack and rest after a busy journey.
We will be staying at the beautiful Amed Paradise Warung & House Bali, run by a Balinese man nicknamed Marcel. Yes, Marcel, this smiling boy has decided to learn Czech and has done so with his staff, entertaining many a traveller in the process. As he likes to say, "it's going to be a lot of fun!"
On our second day in Bali we will be tired after the trip, so a nice acclimatization is necessary, perhaps with a drink on a beautiful beach or a walk to soak up the local relaxed atmosphere. There's also some amazing snorkelling, where we'll encounter a wealth of underwater life just off the beach 😍🍸
We can plan any of the various activities at the hostel. Basically, it will always be up to you what you feel like doing! (massages, duo karaoke with marcel😀, fishing, barbecue, cooking class, visit to a Balinese family or shaman).
On the third day we will go to the beautiful Taman Ujung Water Palace. A large complex covered with breathtaking architecture embedded in exotic nature is guaranteed to enchant us. My chin dropped the first time I was here and basically stayed there for the next 3 hours.😃 It really is a very nice place.
On the way to the next stop we visit a place called Bukit Cinta, which is said to have the best view of the Agung volcano. 🙌
Our next stop will be the former royal palace of Tirta Gangga. Again, this is a beautiful place abounding with beautiful scenery and a pleasant atmosphere.
Drive back to the accommodation, dinner and fun!
On the fourth day, we have the longest drive yet, a 1h 40 min drive to the Hindu temple complex of Pura Besakih, also known as the "Mother of all Temples". This place is considered as the spiritual centre of the island of Bali, with 23 temples in less than three square kilometres, so it will take us a while to explore it. 😎
On the way back we will visit the Hindu temple complex Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang. This gigantic complex is located on the slope of Mount Lepuyang and is one of the most highly prized temples in Bali. In addition to the magnificent Balinese buildings, this place also offers beautiful views of the surrounding area and a true Hindu atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The complex consists of several separate temples and sacred sites, with the journey to the very "top" taking about 2 hours and leading through the jungle, in addition to numerous stairs, where we were greeted not always entirely cheerfully by groups of monkeys. Some of the monkeys were so cheeky that if a person had something unattached in their backpack, they would try to steal it🙉😀
After a quantum of stairs and some elevation gain, we let our legs breathe on the beach and laze around for a change. 😎
Trip back to accommodation, dinner and fun!
The fifth day will be a day of relaxation and lounging, a day for ourselves! We can walk/trek around and soak up the local atmosphere in peace, then poke and lay on the beach, get a massage, or we can arrange one of these activities - fishing, barbecue, cooking class, visit a Balinese family or shaman. As you wish😍
We will rest and recharge for the next day, when we will have an early sunrise hike on Batur volcano 🚶
.
Among the best experiences in Bali is the sunrise hike to the Batur volcano. The hike is, let's say, a bit more physically demanding, but it's definitely worth it for the beautiful views.The sunrise in such a beautiful place is truly magical and one would want to stay here just to enjoy the stunning views over and over again. 😍
On the way back we will visit the temple of Pura Ulun Danu Batur and we can stop for civet coffee, which is prepared by locals with tasting and interpretation, so you can learn something new and interesting besides tasting.
After a challenging but beautiful hike, we rest on the beach and catch up on some of the minutes of sleep we lost with the early wake-up call. Again, everyone is free to relax in whatever style they want. 😴
On the seventh day there will be a waterfall!
There are many beautiful waterfalls in Bali, but this one here is really top of the top. It's a magical place with an amazing atmosphere. It makes you realise the immense power nature has underneath. Ideally, we'll land in the morning so that there are as few people as possible, so we can have a great time. A cooling swim and frolicking underneath is a must!😁
We'd enjoy a leisurely morning here and then we'd move on to Gitgit Waterfall.
Another very nice waterfall with a nice walk to it. 🚶
We take a leisurely walk around the lake, give the lady some rest, views, something good to eat and we can continue to our accommodation.
Beautiful accommodation right by the lake.
In the morning we would have a look around the lake, or we can also arrange a boat ride to soak up the local atmosphere as much as possible.
Then we would go to see the local temple with a beautiful view of the lake and then hurrah to the rice fields of Jatiluwih.
Rice fields, which have even been listed by UNESCO for their uniqueness. It plays here with all shades of green. Once again, we'll have a good look around, chill and sample the views.😎 We'll enjoy the place and hang out in Ubud.
Ubud is often referred to as the cultural centre of the island, home to many beautiful temples, rice paddies and the ubiquitous cafes and shops selling local produce. Various celebrations and cultural events are a highlight here. Its location also makes it a good starting point for instigating excursions around the area.
In addition to taking a good tour/ride, we will also head north where the terraced Tegallalang rice fields are.
Here we would give a walk at sunset time, as it is the best time to enjoy the view around here.
We'd go to enjoy the atmosphere of the night market in the evening, where the air is filled with many different smells of traditional dishes. We'll have a gastro window and try all sorts of local delicacies. Aside from food, local products from textiles to wooden statues are sold here, so opportunities for buying different gifts to take home will be plentiful🎁
Good location only 450 m to the centre.
Terraced rice paddies, which are really worth the effort to get here in the early morning hours, because due to good accessibility there are usually clouds of tourists during the day.
Monkey forrest is one of the "must see" places. A beautiful forest in the middle of the city full of monkeys attracts a lot of tourists, but it is interesting to see how monkeys share their life with humans. It's an experience🐵
Outside of the family of monkeys frolicking around here, there is a very nice walk through the forest with beautiful scenery. The walk is interspersed with local architectural structures (temples, statues...)
Bali is full of various colourful, aromatic and vibrant markets selling a wide variety of food, spices, textiles, local products etc... The welcoming atmosphere of these vibrant markets will fascinate and entertain you. Moreover, this market in Ubud is just one of the best😍
The Saraswati Kingdom Temple of Ubud is dedicated in honour of the Hindu goddess Saraswati - the goddess of learning, literature and art. The temple is decorated with delicate carvings and there is also a water garden and lotus pond in the middle of the grounds.
We would go to this palace in the heart of Ubud in the evening. This place comes alive at night with the sound of Gamelan music and Balinese dances are performed. We could then finish the day with a night walk through Ubud.
In the morning we would have a leisurely breakfast, or we could walk around and enjoy Ubud and then we would head towards Canggu.🌞
On the way to Canggu, we stop to see this beautiful temple that is carved into the rock on the sea. A dry-foot journey to it is only possible at low tide.
There are many different cafes, bistros, bars and shops in Canggu. It's no wonder it's a popular destination for backpackers. This is also due to the ideal conditions for beginner surfers. Right on the beach, there are plenty of local surfers offering their services. We'd try the basics of surfing, and if we're good at it, we'll ride a wave ourselves. 🏄
We could have a drink on the beach at sunset in the evening and then check out the local nightlife😎
Very nice accommodation 2 min from the beach
In the morning we will have a leisurely breakfast and then we could go for a drive and explore Canggu further inland.
We will then head further south to Bali where we will spend our last days. 😫
On the way south we will stop at a fish market where we can choose fresh fish and the locals will prepare it for us right away. 🍤
After a good meal we will chill and swim on this beautiful beach under the cliffs🌞
Uluwatu Temple is a beautiful temple in the very south of Bali, built on the edge of the cliffs. It is the beautiful location that has made it so popular with travellers.
Here at this amazing place with breathtaking views, we will enjoy the sunset. Many claim that the coolest sunset in Bali is actually here. 🙌
Very nice accommodation only 300 m from the beach, airport transfer can be booked here.
We would enjoy the penultimate day in the style of relaxing and enjoying the last moments in Bali. So we'll have some beachcombing, good food, drinks, relaxation and beautiful views from the cliff. 😎
For the evening we would go to see a local dance performance with an amazing atmosphere that takes place on the edge of the estuary. The dance tells the legend of Ramayana, which is a true love story between Rama and Sita. 💃😍
We could end the day in this beautiful place with the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the massive cliffs. 🌙
Very nice accommodation only 300 m from the beach, airport transfer can be booked here.
On the last day we can still enjoy breakfast, swimming and last moments on the beach. Then we would pack up and drive to the airport and home😫 (departure 16:15)

We could have a drink on the beach at sunset in the evening and then check out the local nightlife😎
Very nice accommodation 2 min from the beach
In the morning we will have a leisurely breakfast and then we could go for a drive and explore Canggu further inland.
We will then head further south to Bali where we will spend our last days. 😫
On the way south we will stop at a fish market where we can choose fresh fish and the locals will prepare it for us right away. 🍤
After a good meal we will chill and swim on this beautiful beach under the cliffs🌞
Uluwatu Temple is a beautiful temple in the very south of Bali, built on the edge of the cliffs. It is the beautiful location that has made it so popular with travellers.
Here at this amazing place with breathtaking views, we will enjoy the sunset. Many claim that the coolest sunset in Bali is actually here. 🙌
Very nice accommodation only 300 m from the beach, airport transfer can be booked here.
We would enjoy the penultimate day in the style of relaxing and enjoying the last moments in Bali. So we'll have some beachcombing, good food, drinks, relaxation and beautiful views from the cliff. 😎
For the evening we would go to see a local dance performance with an amazing atmosphere that takes place on the edge of the estuary. The dance tells the legend of Ramayana, which is a true love story between Rama and Sita. 💃😍
We could end the day in this beautiful place with the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the massive cliffs. 🌙
Very nice accommodation only 300 m from the beach, airport transfer can be booked here.
On the last day we can still enjoy breakfast, swimming and last moments on the beach. Then we would pack up and drive to the airport and home😫 (departure 16:15)
Bali is a beautiful exotic island with a unique atmosphere. This colourful island has everything from active volcanoes, hills, mountains, waterfalls and rice terraces to rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, crystal clear water and abundant underwater life. All these beautiful places are made even more beautiful at sunrise or sunset, which are truly enchanting here.
Bali, however, is all about the people, whose ubiquitous smiles add to the island's laid-back vibe. Not for nothing is this island also called the island of the gods. Religion, culture and tradition have been firmly rooted here for many years, as can be seen in the large number of diverse temples that abound on the island.
What can you expect from this trip?
- Enjoyment, relaxation, fun and wonderful experiences (no rush and every second of the trip planned, the main thing is to enjoy it😍)
- knowing & discovering exotic places, culture, people, cuisine and ultimately, in essence, yourself
I have planned the tour so that we can all enjoy it to the fullest, so let's check it out!😍
Right:
- on scooters (they are inherent to the island and it's a real treat to ride one here)
- by car with a local driver
Food:
- For the first 5 days we have arranged half board (breakfast + dinner) at the accommodation, everyone can choose what they want .
- the rest of the stay is up to each person to choose what they want
- Breakfast is always an option in the accommodation
- Indonesian cuisine is one of the most diverse in the world, so there's no shortage of exotic culinary experiences around every corner
Vaccinations:
- Covid-19 (to be based on acute conditions on mzv.cz)
- recommended: typhoid fever, hepatitis A and B
Clothing:
Bali is in the tropical zone with air temperatures ranging from 27-32°C, so there is no need to make any complicated clothing arrangements. Everyone knows what they like to wear in such places, so I'll just highlight a few things not to forget below:
- clogs/sandals, one sturdier pair of hiking boots
- hat/scarf
- sunglasses
- mickey/bandana
- small backpack (see hand luggage - max. 55 x 40 x 23 cm, 8 kg)
On the first day we will arrive in Bali at 15:00, where we will be picked up by car and drive to the tiny fishing village of Amed in the west of Bali. Upon arrival, we will be greeted at our accommodation, where we will unpack and rest after a busy journey.
We will be staying at the beautiful Amed Paradise Warung & House Bali, run by a Balinese man nicknamed Marcel. Yes, Marcel, this smiling boy has decided to learn Czech and has done so with his staff, entertaining many a traveller in the process. As he likes to say, "it's going to be a lot of fun!"
On our second day in Bali we will be tired after the trip, so a nice acclimatization is necessary, perhaps with a drink on a beautiful beach or a walk to soak up the local relaxed atmosphere. There's also some amazing snorkelling, where we'll encounter a wealth of underwater life just off the beach 😍🍸
We can plan any of the various activities at the hostel. Basically, it will always be up to you what you feel like doing! (massages, duo karaoke with marcel😀, fishing, barbecue, cooking class, visit to a Balinese family or shaman).
On the third day we will go to the beautiful Taman Ujung Water Palace. A large complex covered with breathtaking architecture embedded in exotic nature is guaranteed to enchant us. My chin dropped the first time I was here and basically stayed there for the next 3 hours.😃 It really is a very nice place.
On the way to the next stop we visit a place called Bukit Cinta, which is said to have the best view of the Agung volcano. 🙌
Our next stop will be the former royal palace of Tirta Gangga. Again, this is a beautiful place abounding with beautiful scenery and a pleasant atmosphere.
Drive back to the accommodation, dinner and fun!
On the fourth day, we have the longest drive yet, a 1h 40 min drive to the Hindu temple complex of Pura Besakih, also known as the "Mother of all Temples". This place is considered as the spiritual centre of the island of Bali, with 23 temples in less than three square kilometres, so it will take us a while to explore it. 😎
On the way back we will visit the Hindu temple complex Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang. This gigantic complex is located on the slope of Mount Lepuyang and is one of the most highly prized temples in Bali. In addition to the magnificent Balinese buildings, this place also offers beautiful views of the surrounding area and a true Hindu atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The complex consists of several separate temples and sacred sites, with the journey to the very "top" taking about 2 hours and leading through the jungle, in addition to numerous stairs, where we were greeted not always entirely cheerfully by groups of monkeys. Some of the monkeys were so cheeky that if a person had something unattached in their backpack, they would try to steal it🙉😀
After a quantum of stairs and some elevation gain, we let our legs breathe on the beach and laze around for a change. 😎
Trip back to accommodation, dinner and fun!
The fifth day will be a day of relaxation and lounging, a day for ourselves! We can walk/trek around and soak up the local atmosphere in peace, then poke and lay on the beach, get a massage, or we can arrange one of these activities - fishing, barbecue, cooking class, visit a Balinese family or shaman. As you wish😍
We will rest and recharge for the next day, when we will have an early sunrise hike on Batur volcano 🚶
.Among the best experiences in Bali is the sunrise hike to the Batur volcano. The hike is, let's say, a bit more physically demanding, but it's definitely worth it for the beautiful views.The sunrise in such a beautiful place is truly magical and one would want to stay here just to enjoy the stunning views over and over again. 😍
On the way back we will visit the temple of Pura Ulun Danu Batur and we can stop for civet coffee, which is prepared by locals with tasting and interpretation, so you can learn something new and interesting besides tasting.
After a challenging but beautiful hike, we rest on the beach and catch up on some of the minutes of sleep we lost with the early wake-up call. Again, everyone is free to relax in whatever style they want. 😴
On the seventh day there will be a waterfall!
There are many beautiful waterfalls in Bali, but this one here is really top of the top. It's a magical place with an amazing atmosphere. It makes you realise the immense power nature has underneath. Ideally, we'll land in the morning so that there are as few people as possible, so we can have a great time. A cooling swim and frolicking underneath is a must!😁
We'd enjoy a leisurely morning here and then we'd move on to Gitgit Waterfall.
Another very nice waterfall with a nice walk to it. 🚶
We take a leisurely walk around the lake, give the lady some rest, views, something good to eat and we can continue to our accommodation.
Beautiful accommodation right by the lake.
In the morning we would have a look around the lake, or we can also arrange a boat ride to soak up the local atmosphere as much as possible.
Then we would go to see the local temple with a beautiful view of the lake and then hurrah to the rice fields of Jatiluwih.
Rice fields, which have even been listed by UNESCO for their uniqueness. It plays here with all shades of green. Once again, we'll have a good look around, chill and sample the views.😎 We'll enjoy the place and hang out in Ubud.
Ubud is often referred to as the cultural centre of the island, home to many beautiful temples, rice paddies and the ubiquitous cafes and shops selling local produce. Various celebrations and cultural events are a highlight here. Its location also makes it a good starting point for instigating excursions around the area.
In addition to taking a good tour/ride, we will also head north where the terraced Tegallalang rice fields are.
Here we would give a walk at sunset time, as it is the best time to enjoy the view around here.
We'd go to enjoy the atmosphere of the night market in the evening, where the air is filled with many different smells of traditional dishes. We'll have a gastro window and try all sorts of local delicacies. Aside from food, local products from textiles to wooden statues are sold here, so opportunities for buying different gifts to take home will be plentiful🎁
Good location only 450 m to the centre.
Terraced rice paddies, which are really worth the effort to get here in the early morning hours, because due to good accessibility there are usually clouds of tourists during the day.
Monkey forrest is one of the "must see" places. A beautiful forest in the middle of the city full of monkeys attracts a lot of tourists, but it is interesting to see how monkeys share their life with humans. It's an experience🐵
Outside of the family of monkeys frolicking around here, there is a very nice walk through the forest with beautiful scenery. The walk is interspersed with local architectural structures (temples, statues...)
Bali is full of various colourful, aromatic and vibrant markets selling a wide variety of food, spices, textiles, local products etc... The welcoming atmosphere of these vibrant markets will fascinate and entertain you. Moreover, this market in Ubud is just one of the best😍
The Saraswati Kingdom Temple of Ubud is dedicated in honour of the Hindu goddess Saraswati - the goddess of learning, literature and art. The temple is decorated with delicate carvings and there is also a water garden and lotus pond in the middle of the grounds.
We would go to this palace in the heart of Ubud in the evening. This place comes alive at night with the sound of Gamelan music and Balinese dances are performed. We could then finish the day with a night walk through Ubud.
In the morning we would have a leisurely breakfast, or we could walk around and enjoy Ubud and then we would head towards Canggu.🌞
On the way to Canggu, we stop to see this beautiful temple that is carved into the rock on the sea. A dry-foot journey to it is only possible at low tide.
There are many different cafes, bistros, bars and shops in Canggu. It's no wonder it's a popular destination for backpackers. This is also due to the ideal conditions for beginner surfers. Right on the beach, there are plenty of local surfers offering their services. We'd try the basics of surfing, and if we're good at it, we'll ride a wave ourselves. 🏄
