hey we're rhett and claire and this is
the ultimate bali road trip guide in
this video we include all the popular
destinations to visit various hotels to
stand best waterfalls best rice fields
and the best beaches to visit to stick
around the journey starts now
[Music]
so we had a car for this trip we'd
recommend that for ultimate freedom but
you can also hire yourself a driver our
favorite divers details will be down in
the description or if you're feeling
adventurous you can do this all on a
motorbike
from the airport we suggest starting
this road trip by heading south down to
iloitu the southernmost part of bali
home to some of the most incredible
beaches and jaw-dropping clips on the
island
days in olawatu will consist of relaxing
on the beach and then heading to one of
the incredible beach bars late in the
day for sunset our favorite beach balls
include singleton palmer bali karma
beach and you have to do the world
famous savaya for an epic party
there are so many beaches in uluwatu to
choose from the and so many boutique
hotels airbnbs villas
and awesome resorts we suggest going on
a go-to or airbnb and just choosing the
best one for you we've just checked into
ballet at bingham beach it's a low-ish
budget place for about 45 dollars a
night with awesome sea views and it's
more than comfortable we recommend two
to three nights in uluwatu i would say
about two nights on this western coast
and then one night on the southern coast
where there are some of the best beaches
we've seen on the island
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there are two must visit places here in
uluwatu first of which is the uluwatu
temple that is right behind me there
it's on the edge of a tiny little cliff
it is beautiful just below us are the
waves the huge waves crashing into the
cliffs here in uluwatu it's a beautiful
experience and this is also where they
do the ketchup dance so as a tourist in
bali we highly recommend viewing the
ketchup dance it's a traditional
balinese dance we actually watch the
ketchup dawn somewhere else and that
brings me to the second thing you should
do in uluwatu and that is the gwk
cultural park where you can see the very
big vishnu and garuda statue actually
when you're flying into bali you'll see
the statue from the plane and definitely
go visit that it is massive super
impressive and the park is awesome and
they do the ketchup dance there too both
of these two places are beautiful
cultural experiences here in bali this
is obviously more authentic and the gwk
is more touristy and built up so
definitely come visit those two places
here in uluwati
[Music]
so after three days in uluatu it's time
to head one and a half hours north to
ubud
let's get it
[Music]
so ubud is the more authentic part of
bali it is known for its yoga and
meditation retreats it has amazing vegan
food and forest cafes scattered all over
ubud is also at a higher elevation so
it's a lot cooler here and it's quite a
bit quieter than down in chengu and
seminak areas one of the big things to
do here in ubud is visit the sacred
monkey forest we highly recommend that
but if that's not your cup of tea your
buddha is famous for all of its
adventure activities there's river
rafting atving canyoneering a whole
bunch of things to do there's also
tugalalang rice field which is about 30
minutes north of ubud so we recommend
situating yourself in a bird there's
tons to do and you can get around to
waterfalls and all that in the region
overall about two to three days should
be good enough yeah there's tons of
places to stay we've stayed in villa
airbnbs there's huge spa and resorts and
obviously there's a whole bunch of
hotels so there's a lot of variety here
we'll put a few of the ones we recommend
down below
[Music]
one of the truly authentic balinese
experiences is here at
the impul temple it's where you come and
bathe yourself and wash off all the bad
spirits and come for healing and it's
one of the only temples where the
balinese are actually happy to share the
experience with you so even as a
foreigner you can come here and baby
yourself in the fountains
[Music]
one of the best ways to end your day off
in a bid is to come to the champohan
ridge walk highly recommend coming for
sunset it's super beautiful
very relaxing
[Music]
so after a couple days in a bit you're
going to want to start heading east our
first stop is about 50 minutes out of
the bud to a waterfall called
me
yeah i don't know
i think
so get your flip-flops and your swimmer
ready also bring a towel
[Music]
you're going to want to arrive before 11
because the sun rays peak right through
the rocks and the trees and it just
looks super magical entrance is 30 000
rupiah for two people so 15 each
there's a bit of a walk down but it's a
beautiful walk down to the waterfall
it's about a five to ten minute walk
[Music]
so there are two waterfalls one to your
left one to your right easily accessible
and they are both so so beautiful
there's local shops as you finish the
waterfall you can come stop by grab a
few items there's also wairung the kubu
at the top of the hill you'll see it on
your right hand side as you come up from
the waterfall highly recommend stopping
there for some lunch
[Music]
from the waterfall it is a 40 minute
drive to simmon via resort it is located
in the cinema area at the base of mount
again the biggest volcano on the island
[Music]
this resort is also one of many adult
only resorts in the area we recommend
staying here between one to two nights
so you can explore the surrounding
villages using the complementary
bicycles and the resort can also arrange
a number of activities on request
[Music]
oh no this is crazy
oh my god oh my god
it's huge
are those clouds with that smoke
i can't believe it's that big no
that's the reaction to spotting mount
agung for the first time
from really close distance we're within
about 10 kilometers of the of the
volcano right now oh my word so from
here we've got a beautiful drive through
the mountains and the rice fields and
the valleys below it's incredibly scenic
it's just unbelievable it's about a one
hour drive to ahmed which is on the east
coast of ali famous for its many temples
beautiful beach snorkeling and diving
and of course the views of agung in the
background
[Music]
on your way to ahmed we recommend
stopping at the famous water palace
totaganga for quick walk around and
photo with the koi fish entrance here is
50k and don't forget to buy some fishy
food
we just had a quick stroll in amid what
a beautiful quaint little oceanside town
if you're into diving and snorkeling
this is definitely the place to be
there's so many hotels and resorts that
offer your divers certifications
as well as beachfront hotels and lots of
restaurants to eat at they also have
beautiful black sand beaches and
incredible views of mount agung we
recommend staying in ahmed for about one
to two nights if that's what you're into
we've chosen to go up to tejakula and
we'll spend the night there
[Music]
how nice is this little place this was
on agoda i'll put the link in the
description and it was 400 000 it's
probably on a big big special i'm not
sure if it'll be that price for very
long
but it is super well worth the four
hundred thousand one night at the ting
tejakula villas is most certainly not
enough we cannot believe we found this
hidden gem in tejakula not a lot of
people actually explore this area but
these villas are certainly so impressive
and it's in a great location for you to
do the mount the tour volcano hike
something we really recommend that you
do here in bali we're just one hour away
from kintamani so the tour organizers
can pick you up take you for the volcano
hike if you have a hot spring afterwards
and we suggest that you visit montana
del cafe for the most incredible views
of mount peter so yes definitely come
stay here for two to three nights and
explore the area you seriously need to
check out these villas if you're ever in
bali seriously
[Music]
after a few days at tejakula or if you
decided to stay in the kintamani area
you're going to want to head north up to
sukhumville waterfall for a quick stop
you can make your way to the central
parking area at sukhampur waterfall i'll
leave the link down in the description
there are guides that wait there and the
fee to do the medium walk which we're
doing is 125 per person and that will
get you a walk to two waterfalls
[Music]
from sikkimpool we have about a 30
minute drive to the munduk area where we
will be staying at the mundo commodity
plantation nature reserve there will be
a separate video linked above and in the
description below if you're interested
in this resort in particular
[Music]
mundo murdering plantation is in a great
location for us to get to the following
attractions pandora gate for a quick
photo
to one of the most stunning temples in
bali
zuban yamala waterfall
you can even come strawberry picking in
the area we'll put a link to this place
down in the description
all right once you have checked out of
your munduk hotel it is time to head
south to arguably the most beautiful
rice fields in the whole of bali
[Music]
once you've spent a bit of time in the
jatalui rice terraces it's time to head
south it's about a one hour drive to
changu the digital nomad hub of the
island
once in chengu we can highly recommend
staying at tugu hotels we have a
separate video linked in the description

few days in bali visit seminyak for
beginner surfing lessons eat at the many
trendy cafes and restaurants and visit
the market to take some barley gets home
