Things to do in Bali, Indonesia: The Best Tours

February 4, 2022 Mollie Coke

Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

I’ve been using Rio’s services for years and wouldn’t consider using any other driver. He will collect you from the airport and deliver you safely to your hotel. Rio has a happy and friendly disposition and can be relied upon to provide best prices and the most in-depth information. As a local, Rio is always happy to answer questions and while driving to your destination, provide cultural information with his amazing English. He’s a fantastic source for the best excursions at the best price.

Join your host Putu in the kitchen for a hands-on cooking lesson. You'll work together to prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes and as you chop, grind and grill Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients. Putu's kitchen is simple, with only a two burner cooktop, and you are sure to be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she can prepare a complex menu with multiple dishes. You’ll get to taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.

Inclusions: Private cooking lesson and homecooked meal with your host Putu, Local alcohol (1-2 glasses), Non-alcoholic beverages, Round-trip transport from Ubud hotel, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Gratuities

Exclusions: Round-trip transport from outside of Ubud (extra charge)

Dewa is a fantastic host. We had a terrific home experience where Dewa took the time to not only explain the food but also their way of life and toured us around his village. It absolutely surpassed all our expectations and so far is the single highlight of our trip to Bali. Do not hesitate to book this tour — it is the best. And the food you cook will surpass anything you have in Bali restaurants. We learned so much of the Bali culture, this experience was invaluable.

We booked this on viator.com and it was superb. The driver collected us from our hotel in Nusa Dua and drove us up the coast to Padang. There we were greeted with drinks and clear instructions of the day's events. Once measured up for fins and masks we hopped on the boat. A short trip to the next bay saw us dive in roughly 1m deep waters. So many beautiful fish were in arm's reach. We had a good hour of floating about. Wearing a life jacket also helped with buoyancy. From there we jumped back in the boat to Blue Lagoon. This was a deeper lagoon where we saw a whole different variety of sea life including stingrays, sea turtles and eels. Our guide was exceptional as he was so experienced with how to locate the marine life. When we got back we had a lovely lunch and a fresh shower before being driven back to our hotel for late afternoon. All in all, an excellent day out and great for anyone of any snorkeling experience.

I am so happy I found this company for our day at Nusa Penida. From the minute I booked, everything was proffessional. They made a WA group, so all communication and information was up to date. We were picked up at our hotel as promised, and from then the whole day was seamless???? We were lucky an had an amazing time snorkeling (at least 20 Mantras) and I felt like we were in a large aquarium ???? Lunch was super and gave us more than enough energy to enjoy Nusa Penida via a car for the rest of the day before we were brought back for a ferry trip back to Bali, and driven home to our hotel. THANK YOU, all you fabulous people at ForeverVacation ???? (we got a lot of pictures they took, and even a follow up back at the hotel) Do not hesitate, book ForeverVacation for your guided tour????????

What a day! Got picked up at our place and brought straight to the hidden Virgin Beach. There we enjoyed a lovely breakfast and went into the waters with one of the many local boats standing around. If you can hold your breath long enough be ready to spearfish on your own, if you can‘t you can watch the talented locals do so. Afterwards the fish got barbecued and a heavenly meal got served. Pretty day and worth the money, would join in again.
