Kuta, Uluwatu, Kintamani & Ubud – 6 Days in Bali with Private Transfers

After breakfast your driver takes you to Tanjung Benoa, the calm water on Bali's south-east tip where the island's water sports are based. You have three rides today: the Banana Boat, the Flying Fish, an inflatable towed fast enough by a speedboat that it lifts off the water, and a Jet Ski. Allow around three to four hours including briefings, changing and waiting.

Later you cross the Bukit peninsula to Uluwatu Temple, on a cliff about 70 metres above the Indian Ocean. Walk the cliff-top path for the best views and stay for sunset, when the sun drops into the sea in front of the temple. It is busy at this hour, and the resident monkeys are bold.

Today you head up into the hills to Kintamani, a ridge that looks straight across to Mount Batur, an active volcano, and the lake at its foot. It is noticeably cooler up here, and the drive takes you through rice fields and villages where every family compound has its own small temple.

On the way back you stop in Ubud, Bali's arts and craft town, for a walk through the village, and then at Tegenungan Waterfall, a wide fall set in a green gorge. There are steps down to the pool at the base and back up again, so wear good shoes. You are back in Kuta by early evening.

Overnight: Kuta

A day for adventure. After breakfast you drive towards the Ubud countryside for a tandem ATV ride, two to a quad bike, on muddy tracks through rice fields, jungle and small villages. It is messy in the best way; you will come back splashed, so wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty.

After a change of clothes you move on to the Bali Swing in the valleys nearby. You get the full set on a private basis: the Single Swing, the Fun Adrenalin Swing, the Ultimate Swing, the Couple Swing, the Romantic Bed Swing, the Family Bed Swing and the Chicken Nest photo spots, all with the jungle dropping away below you.
