Ulun Danu temple Beratan Lake in Bali Indonesia

Bali, an Indonesian province, receives millions of tourists every year. That’s mainly thanks to the country’s perfect weather, beautiful beaches, and countless things to do.

If you’re thinking about visiting this magical island, then continue reading and we’ll show you the best things to do in Bali.

Tanah Lot Temple

One of the most iconic temples in the province, Tanah Lot is situated on top of a big rock and surrounded by crashing waves.

The temple is beautiful in the daytime when contrasted with a bright blue sky but it really shines at sunset.

Paying homage to the guardian spirits of the ocean, Tanah Lot is one of Bali’s most important sea temples. The onshore site is bursting with fun visitor facilities like stores, restaurants, and a cultural park where you can watch regularly performed dance ceremonies.

Ubud Monkey Forest

The Ubud Monkey Forest is home to a large amount of grey long-tailed macaques. This natural forest sanctuary is officially known as the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal.

This is one of the most popular places to visit in the Ubud District and the attraction is kept well-maintained thanks to its community-based management program.

Also, the forest is a brief walk away from the town center.

So, what exactly can you do at the Ubud Monkey Forest? One of the most popular activities is to simply watch the monkeys as they play in their natural environment, eat bananas, and swing through the trees.

You can also walk on the paved pathways and gander at the moss-covered statues.

Surf Camp

Swell Bali Surf Camp is the perfect place for young adults, whether traveling alone or with friends, to stay while in Bali.

Located in the Bingin, Swell is designed to look like a boutique hotel but has the fun social vibes of your favorite surf resorts.

This surf camp is for adults only and the waves at the beach are great for beginner surfers and experienced ones alike!

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

The Jatiluwih rice terraces are one of the most well-known rice field landscapes in all of Bali.

These rice fields take up a significant portion of the Jatiluwih village in the Tabanan Regency and they can be a calming retreat away from the busy crowds of Bali’s buzzing beach resorts.

The Jatiluwih rice terraces were once a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site candidate and they also cover more than 600 hectares of land. The rice fields are managed by subak which is a traditional water management cooperative system.

This system has been used for hundreds of years. In fact, the use of the subak itself was one of the main reasons for the province’s ‘cultural landscape’ entry on the UNESCO heritage list.
