3 Days in Bali, incl. Nusa Penida and Kuta
Marine life awaits during full-day West Nusa Penida excursion. Snorkel pristine waters, visit Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong. Two nights at ZIA BALI KUTA with breakfast and professional guides.
- Day 1
Arrival in Kuta, Bali:
Plan to arrive in the morning if possible. The drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport to your Kuta hotel takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Once you're settled, head to Kuta Beach in the afternoon when the sun isn't as strong. If you want to try surfing, board rentals cost about $5-10 per hour and the waves are perfect for beginners. Book your stay near ZIA Bali Kuta to be close to both the beach and your departure point for tomorrow.
- Day 2
Nusa Penida Adventure:
Your hotel pickup is at 6:00 AM. Take motion sickness medicine before the 45-minute ferry ride from Sanur Harbor. Sit in the middle of the boat where it's most stable. The snorkeling spots have strong currents, so pay attention to your guide's safety briefing. Kelingking Beach viewpoint offers amazing photo opportunities, but consider staying at the viewpoint instead of hiking down to the beach. The descent takes about 45 minutes on steep stairs. At Angel's Billabong, only swim in the natural pool when your guide says it's safe. High tide can bring dangerous waves.
- Day 3
Departure:
2 Day Bali Itinerary, incl. Mount Batur and Kintamani
Mountain adventure scales Mount Batur from Kintamani to 1,717m summit. First day covers transfers, second includes pre-dawn trek, Lake Batur sunrise, crater walks, and hot spring relaxation before Ubud return.
- Day 1
Kintamani Arrival and Preparation
Start your journey with a transfer to Kintamani located about 1.5 hours from Ubud or 2.5 hours from southern Bali's beach areas. Plan to arrive by early afternoon so you can prepare for tomorrow's adventure. Since Kintamani sits at 1,500m elevation the evening temperatures can drop to 15°C (59°F), so pack a light jacket and hiking shoes. The rest of the afternoon should be spent resting since you'll need to wake up around 2:00 AM for the trek.
- Day 2
Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
Your day begins with an early pickup between 2:00-2:30 AM for a short drive to the trek starting point. Your guide will provide flashlights for the 2-hour climb in darkness. One experienced trekker shared: "The path can be quite steep and slippery with volcanic scree - trekking poles really helped, especially on the descent." The climb to the 1,717m summit is challenging but most people with basic fitness can manage it. Your guide will set a comfortable pace to reach the top around 6:00 AM just in time for sunrise. At the summit you'll enjoy breakfast including eggs cooked in volcanic steam vents plus coffee and tea. When the sun rises you'll see incredible views of Lake Batur and Mount Agung spread out before you. After enjoying the sunrise you'll walk around the crater rim to explore recent lava flows and steam vents. The walk down takes about 1.5 hours. Before heading back to your hotel you'll stop at natural hot springs to relax your muscles. You should be back at your hotel by late morning. Important tips: - Dress in layers since it starts cold but warms up after sunrise - Bring at least 1 liter of water per person - Use proper hiking shoes with good grip for the loose volcanic gravel - Consider hiring a porter if you're bringing camera equipment - Book between April and October for the best chance of clear sunrise views - Let your guide know if you need to go slower than the group While the trek needs moderate fitness and might be tough for people with knee problems because of the steep descent, watching the sunrise from the summit is an unforgettable Bali experience.
3 Days in Munduk Bali, incl. Mountain Region and Rice Terraces
Mountain retreat from Munduk to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces highlights traditional temples and cascading waterfalls. Overnight at Hotel Munduk Moding Plantation while multilingual guides share local traditions.
- Day 1
Bali's Mountain Region
Plan to leave South Bali by 8 AM to beat Denpasar traffic on your 2.5-hour drive to Munduk. The mountain roads wind upward, and you'll feel the temperature cool as you climb. Bring a light jacket for comfort. Make your first stop at Twin Lakes Buyan and Tamblingan viewpoint before noon, when clouds typically block the view. After lunch, visit Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. The afternoon light is perfect for photos, and most tour buses will have left by then.
- Day 2
Munduk Village Exploration
Book a room at one of Munduk's mountain resorts. The Munduk Moding Plantation is an excellent choice, featuring an infinity pool overlooking coffee fields. Start your morning with a waterfall trek. Try the Red Coral Waterfall trail if you want to avoid crowds, but watch your step if it's been raining. Good hiking sandals are essential. In the afternoon, take a coffee plantation tour and watch a traditional roasting demonstration. Book this ahead of time, especially if you're visiting during peak season in July or August.
- Day 3
Jatiluwih and Departure
Head to the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih Rice Terraces early. Get there by 8:30 AM for the best light and photos. The full walking trail takes about 2 hours. A local guide costs around $15 and can explain the fascinating subak irrigation system. For your return to South Bali, consider the northern route through Bedugul. It's longer but helps you avoid Denpasar traffic.
