Why should you visit Bali and make some suggestions for planning your vacation

Vacation in Bali

BALI is often described as too touristy. In my opinion, this is a rather superficial statement, since one must only discover Bali, which has attracted many visitors, leaving behind the tourist enclaves Kuta, Legian. Seminyak and Sanur.

Let me help you discover Bali, an island that is very small but makes a big impression on visitors who take the trouble to take their time looking good.

Bali is easy and cheap to reach

Air Asia flies from Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to Bali. Jetstar also offers direct flights to Bali, making Bali a world-class destination served by some of the region's best-known low-cost airlines. Of course, most full-service airlines also serve Bali.

Bali offers a variety of hotels, resorts with spa and basic bed and breakfast establishments. Of course, there are also typical Balinese family houses, which are often found in family resorts and offer a rare opportunity to observe the Balinese life.

If you plan to stay for a while or longer, we recommend that you leave the main regions in the south. You can split your stay as follows:

One week around Tabanan, which will allow you to easily reach Tanah Lot and the western part of the island.

1 week to Padang Bai or Candidasa to reach the northeast coast.

Padang Bai, Candi Dasa, Amed and Tulamben are just minutes away from Bali's most spectacular dive sites.

1 week in one of the small towns near Loving on the north coast to facilitate the exploration of the north of the island.

1 week in the Ubud area to explore the cultural heart and the central region of Bali.

Ubud still attracts painters and writers from around the world and successfully organizes an annual festival of writers. Mas's silver and goldsmiths produce beautiful jewelery that is exported all over the world. It is best not to wear your credit card while visiting your showrooms.

Ubud has a lot to offer. You can sign up for silver jewelry classes, batik classes, cooking classes and much more. There are also many yoga schools and spiritual retreats. It is not uncommon to rent a room in a family home and realize that the owner is actually a famous artist. For the more energetic, Ubud is a great place to plan a hike through Mount Agung, the sacred mountain of Bali.

Since I am a diver, here is a little more information about diving in Bali.

Diving in Bali is still a mystery. Having dived into the most fashionable dive sites in Indonesia like Bunaken, Lembeh, Raja Ampat, Ambon, Banda and Komodo, I can say that Bali is still one of my favorite diving destinations. Let me explain the reason to you in more detail.

1. Bali offers something for everyone.

Whether you like energetic currents, sinking with corals, diving, diving or a mix of all the above, it's all here in Bali. Although it is a journey from one region to another, there are no expensive domestic flights, making Bali a very profitable and profitable dive destination.

2. Are you immersing or updating your certification?

In Bali, there are a variety of professional dives that offer a full range of scuba diving courses. From open water to diving instructors, this can be done in Bali. At prices that are hard to find elsewhere in Indonesia or elsewhere.

3. Are you a diver traveling with a non-diver?

When you travel with a non-diver, you know how difficult it can be to balance your passion for diving with the needs of your dive partner. This is not a problem in Bali. There is a lot to do for non-divers: day trips to cultural treasures, shopping, pampering at the spa, hiking, mountain biking, surfing, etc. Oh, did I mention the shopping?

Come to Bali, try diving and be surprised.

How do I get from A to B?

In order to move in Bali and if you have the means, I would advise you to rent a car with driver. Since the traffic in Bali is not an easy task, it can be a bit stressful on its own, but it is possible. If you drive a motorcycle at home and have a driver's license, we recommend renting a scooter. In fact, these are small motorcycles with 125 cc engines. There is public transport, but it takes a lot of time and is very uncomfortable.
