Culture, Cuisine & Coastlines
Embark on a captivating journey through Bali with Audley Travel’s Classic Bali tour, designed to immerse you in the island’s rich culture and natural beauty. Begin your adventure in the coastal town of Sanur, where tranquil beaches and gentle sea breezes provide the perfect introduction to Balinese life. From there, venture inland to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, surrounded by lush rice terraces and vibrant arts scenes. Here, you can explore traditional temples, participate in a Balinese cooking class, and perhaps even witness a traditional dance performance.
The tour also includes a visit to Munduk, a serene highland village known for its cool climate, waterfalls, and coffee plantations. This peaceful retreat offers a refreshing contrast to the coastal regions and a chance to experience Bali’s diverse landscapes. Conclude your journey with a stay in Jimbaran, where you can relax on golden beaches and enjoy fresh seafood by the sea. Throughout the tour, you’ll stay in carefully selected accommodations that reflect the charm and hospitality of Bali, ensuring a comfortable and authentic experience.
All the things you need to know
Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Denpasar.
On arrival at Denpasar Airport, your guide will greet you and transfer you to your accommodation in nearby Sanur.
Today, your guide will transfer you to Bali’s spiritual and artistic hub, Ubud. In the evening, your guide will accompany you to experience a traditional Balinese Kecak dance performance. Based on an ancient Hindu story, the dance is a spectacle to behold as actors dressed in traditional costumes retell the story while a chorus of men chant and sway around them.
Today, you will have a guided tour that gives you a unique insight into Ubud and Balinese culture. The tour takes you away from Ubud’s tourist areas to give you an authentic insight and experience. During the tour, you can interact with locals who live and work in Ubud. Later, you will learn to prepare authentic Balinese dishes using traditional ingredients and methods.
Approximately one hour from Ubud lies the active volcano of Mount Batur. The volcano has a spectacular setting within a large ancient caldera next to a lake and hot springs. Over time, several craters have formed on the volcano. Today, you will trek to one of the lower craters, which provides panoramic views of the caldera and sometimes emits steam and gases from small vents in the crater wall. As the sun sets, you will be served eggs cooked in the soil beneath you before returning to Ubud. We can provide treks to the highest crater on the volcano for more active clients.
Today, you will transfer to the peaceful highlands village of Munduk, an area off the main tourist trail renowned for its views, walking trails, and waterfalls. On route to Munduk, you will stop for a cycle ride through the terraces of rice fields at Jatiluwih, which have been preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will also visit one of Bali’s most iconic temples, Pura Bratan, which once featured on one of the Indonesian Rupiah notes.
The area around Munduk is renowned for its landscape of rice fields, clove and coffee plantations, and waterfalls. Today, you will be discovering its beauty on a scenic half-day trek.
Day at leisure to enjoy the area. You may like to join one of the local guided walks, go horse riding or enjoy some of Bali’s best canyoning.
Your guide will collect you today for your transfer down to Kerambitan, a small attractive village located in southwest Bali. Today you will also visit Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples, renowned for its sunset views and cultural significance.
