Brilliant Bali Day Trips

Bali is a beautiful, relaxing paradise and the perfect island getaway. It is however, an island with so much more to offer than just beaches, pools and sunbeds. Take your well earned break, get a nice massage and relax, but don’t allow all of Bali’s incredible experiences and stunning locations to pass you by. Drag yourself off that beach for a few hours and do something truly memorable!

Bedugul and Ubud Cultural Day Trip

Taman Ayun Temple

Take a trip into central Bali, beginning with a visit to a serene Balinese Hindu temple, the Pura Taman Ayun, literally meaning, “Temple Beautiful Garden”. Located in Mengwi, Taman Ayun temple is inside a beautiful garden (hence the name) with trees and ponds. The temple itself was first built in 1634 and is bordered on all sides by canals with a bridge as the only way in. Wander the the temple grounds and admire the fascinating architecture of the Pura structures.

Moving north to the mountain lake resort village of Bedugul now, which enjoys a refreshing cooler climate due to the mountainous altitude. A highlight of this area is undoubtedly the picturesque Lake Beratan, take a peaceful stroll around or rent a boat and take a leisurely row. On the western edges of Lake Beratan is Pura Ulun Danu, an extraordinary, and seemingly floating, water temple blessed with the stunning surroundings of the lake and mountains.
