Top 5 things to see in Bali
With plenty of things to do and beautiful landscapes, Bali really is a must see location. Here are our top places to see!
Mount Batur
The hike, along well-marked trails, is relatively easy and usually takes about two to three hours. Guided treks typically include a picnic breakfast, with eggs cooked by the steam from the active volcano. On a clear day, the views are spectacular, stretching all the way across the Batur caldera; the surrounding mountain range; and beautiful Lake Batur, the island's main source of irrigation water.

Canggu
This guide to the best things to do in Canggu includes some of Bali’s most iconic landmarks that are found along the southwestern coast. The main hub of Canggu is Echo Beach, where you can enjoy great surfing, a wonderful sunset dining scene, and plenty of family-friendly activities.

Ubud Monkey Forest
Besides the entertaining troops of grey long-tailed macaques that make their home here, a large part of the appeal is the evocative jungle setting where the monkeys roam free. Paved pathways lead through thick forests of giant banyan and nutmeg trees, where moss-covered statues and ancient temples loom through the dense foliage, imparting an almost mystical feel.

Nusa Islands
The most popular of the three islands is Nusa Lembongan, about 20 kilometres offshore from Sanur and easily accessible by speedboat. Surfing, snorkelling, diving, kayaking, and stand up paddle boarding are the main activities here, and the top attractions include beautiful Dream Beach; Mushroom Bay; and the Devil's Tears rock outcrop, with views of crashing surf erupting over the rocks. Many locals still make their living from seaweed farming, and you can watch them harvesting it by the shore.

Seminyak
Bali is known for its flamboyant designers and fabulous shopping, and you'll find the best examples of Balinese design along the busy streets of Seminyak. Cutting-edge designer fashion, surf and swimwear, jewellery, furniture, and homewares are just some of the items you can buy at the chic shops and busy market stalls here.
