SOUTH BALI
Bali Off the Beaten Path: A Journey to the Heart of the Island
Get ready to swap the crowds for countryside charm on this epic day trip through Bali’s hidden gems! Hop into a vintage-style Land Rover Defender, packed with goodies in a picnic basket, and set off on a wild-yet-relaxed ride through peaceful villages, scenic rice fields, and sacred mountain temples.
First stop — Belayu Village, where ancient art still lives! Watch talented locals create beautiful sandstone carvings, just like their ancestors did. Then it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on at a Balinese farmhouse:
Learn how to make Laklak (a tasty traditional cake), Try your hand at crafting Canang offerings (yes, the ones you see at temples!).
After a chill coffee break, you can opt in for a light 30-minute walk through dreamy rice fields — the kind of views your camera will love. Then we’re off to the serene Batukaru Temple, hidden in the misty mountain jungle. It’s quiet, sacred, and perfect for offering the Canang you made earlier.
Lunchtime! You’ll dine at a local jungle restaurant tucked into a peaceful bamboo forest — pure Bali magic.
Next, we roll into the jaw-dropping beauty of Jatiluwih, a UNESCO-protected rice terrace that stretches as far as the eye can see. It’s green, it’s gorgeous, and it’s 100% Bali.
To top it all off, we’ll visit Kayu Putih, a massive, ancient tree that looks like something from a fairytale. Snap a photo or two — this mighty tree is over 700 years old and full of stories.
Cycle Through the Soul of Bali: A Jatiluwih Nature Journey
Step into the rhythm of nature with a peaceful and enriching escape to Jatiluwih, Bali’s emerald treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a day to breathe in the scent of the earth, listen to the whispers of the wind through the rice stalks, and reconnect with the land — all at your own gentle pace.
Begin your journey in the serene foothills of Mount Batukaru, where your eco-friendly electric bike awaits. With each quiet push of the pedal, you’ll glide through lush valleys, swaying bamboo groves, and the timeless beauty of tiered rice fields carved by generations of hands in harmony with nature.
Let the silence speak as birdsong fills the air and farmers tend to their crops with quiet reverence. This is the Bali of old — untouched, sacred, alive.
Pause for a moment of reflection and nourishment at the Green Café, tucked on a gentle rise overlooking endless waves of green. Enjoy a wholesome, locally sourced meal as dragonflies dance nearby and the mountains cradle you in their calm.
After lunch, continue your communion with nature on a leisurely walk along soft earth paths between the rice paddies. Watch water shimmer in the sun, feel the pulse of the land beneath your feet, and visit a local village compound, where life moves to the steady rhythm of the seasons and ancient customs still bloom.
Sunset Magic: Uluwatu Kecak Fire Dance & Jimbaran Beach Feast
As the afternoon sun begins its slow descent, embark on a journey to one of Bali’s most spellbinding coastal treasures — the dramatic cliffs of Uluwatu. Here, the ancient Pura Uluwatu Temple stands proudly, perched high above the roaring Indian Ocean, offering panoramic views that steal your breath away.
As twilight paints the sky in fiery hues, prepare to be mesmerized by the Kecak Fire Dance — a powerful Balinese ritual where hundreds of voices weave together in hypnotic rhythm, bringing to life the timeless tale of Rama and Shinta. Set against the backdrop of a blazing sunset and the endless sea, this performance feels like stepping into a mystical dream.
When the final echo fades, let your senses be treated to an unforgettable culinary finale: a beachside feast of freshly grilled seafood in Jimbaran Bay. Feel the sand between your toes, listen to the gentle waves, and savor every delicious bite as the stars begin to sparkle overhead.
