Bali – My Favourite Must See List

Bali Adventure Tours Elephant Safari Park and Museum, Taro is a wonderful elephant sanctuary with stunning gardens. Visitors can learn about elephants and go elephant trekking around the park. You can easily spend the whole day here, or arrange to stay in their new hotel accommodation if you wish. There’s an on-site restaurant overlooking the lake and a beautiful gift shop stocked with elephant souvenirs of every imaginable kind. The same company can also arrange white-water rafting, river kayaking and mountain cycling.

Uluwatu Temple, perched high on the cliff at the south western most precinct, is one of the most spectacular of the many Hindu temples on Bali. It is approximately one hour & fifteen minutes drive from Kuta. As with all temple etiquette, there is a strict dress code, although sarongs and clothes can be rented at the entrance. Once inside, be aware of the cunning monkeys that love snatching jewellery, bags, and cameras from visitors.

Tanah Lot –is one of the best known and possibly the most photographed temples in Bali. The stunning Hindu sea temple is perched on a rock formation surrounded by crashing waves. You can walk over to the temple at low tide, or follow the path on the left up to the cliff top and enjoy the view from one on the many restaurants. One of my favourite drinks to enjoy here is the beautiful and refreshing alcoholic coconut drink served in the coconut shell. They also serve a non-alcoholic version as well. There are also lots of tourist shops and stalls on the way from the car park to the temple. The scenery and sunsets here are quite spectacular so don’t forget your camera.

Kintamani Volcano is another of the most popular and spectacular sightseeing tours offered in Bali. Visiting the cooler mountainous region of Bali you will notice that horticulture is one the main activities as you pass by many roadside stalls selling their fruits and vegetables. The main attraction for visitors is around Lake Batur and the spectacular view of the crater lake set in a vast volcano caldera. A climb to the summit of Mount Batur, still an active volcano, to watch the sunrise is an unforgettable experience for more energetic tourists. Mt. Batur as we know it today was formed by an eruption in 1917.There are also many lovely restaurants overlooking the volcano where you can sit and enjoy the scenery.

As you can see there is so much to do in Bali – one visit is never enough! I keep coming back here once a year and am still in awe of many of the wonderful places to visit.
