After landing, take a pre-booked airport transfer to LV8 Resort in Berawa. The drive from Ngurah Rai Airport can take 45–90 minutes or longer in traffic; agree the pickup point and price in advance, or ask the resort to arrange a car. Check in, unpack and keep the first afternoon deliberately easy: enjoy the pool and have a drink or snack at the resort rather than trying to squeeze in sightseeing.
If you’re feeling up to it and the weather is clear, stroll along Berawa Beach for about 45 minutes around sunset. It’s an easy walk from the resort, though the sand can be uneven and the tide changes how much beach is exposed. For dinner, Milk & Madu Beach Road is a relaxed nearby choice, typically around IDR 100,000–200,000 per person; check the day’s hours and book or arrive early if you’re tired and want to avoid a wait. Atlas Beach Club is close by if you still have energy for one low-key drink and an ocean view—otherwise, call it an early night and get some rest.
Head to Suntai Surf School in Batu Bolong for a beginner-friendly lesson of about two hours. Aim for an early session, when the water is often calmer and the beach is less crowded; confirm the lesson time and board hire directly with the school, as prices vary by group size. From LV8 Resort, allow roughly 15–30 minutes by car or scooter, depending on traffic. Ask your resort to arrange a driver, or use Bluebird for a metered taxi; app availability and pickup access can be patchy around busy beach lanes.
After the lesson, spend about an hour unwinding at Batu Bolong Beach—there are places nearby to rinse off and grab a drink, but bring a change of clothes and keep an eye on your belongings. Then walk or take a short ride to Crate Cafe for brunch; budget around IDR 80,000–150,000 per person. It gets busy, so expect a possible wait at peak brunch time.
Leave for Tanah Lot Temple with plenty of buffer: the drive from Canggu can take 45–90 minutes or more when traffic builds, and you’ll want around two hours at the site. Check the day’s tide before setting out: low tide can make the sea temple area more accessible, while high tide brings dramatic waves and a different viewpoint. The temple grounds usually welcome visitors into the early evening; entry is typically around IDR 75,000 per adult, but check the current rate at the gate. Arrive well before sunset to park, explore the coastal paths and find a viewing spot. Wear shoes with grip, as the paths can be uneven, and bring cash for small purchases.
Allow the planned drive time to reach Ubud early, then spend around 1.5–2 hours on the shaded paths at Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. It’s usually open daily from morning until late afternoon; check the official site for current hours and admission before you go. Keep snacks, sunglasses and anything dangling tucked away—the monkeys are quick, and feeding or touching them isn’t allowed. From there, walk to Saraswati Temple for the lotus pond and carved entrance; allow 30–45 minutes, and remember that access to the inner temple areas may be restricted to worshippers.
Have lunch at Warung Biah Biah, a relaxed central spot for Indonesian small plates; budget about IDR 50,000–100,000 per person, and go a little before noon if you’d rather avoid a wait. Next, head to Gecko Tubing for the guided river trip, usually 2–3 hours including check-in and transfers. Reserve directly with the operator or compare current packages on Klook; I can’t verify a working discount code, so check the checkout page for any live offers. Confirm the meeting point and what’s included before booking, and call ahead if there’s been heavy rain—river conditions can affect trips. Bring a change of clothes and a waterproof bag for valuables.
Finish at Ubud Palace, a short look around the historic royal compound that usually takes about 45 minutes. It’s centrally located, so you can linger nearby for a cold drink or a little browsing before heading back; allow extra time for traffic on the drive.
From LV8 Resort in Berawa, allow roughly 45–90 minutes to reach Bali Zoo in Singapadu; leave early for the orangutan breakfast, whose seating times and availability vary. Book the breakfast package ahead through the zoo’s official website and check the exact check-in time—arriving hungry and a little early makes the experience much more relaxed. Allow about three hours for breakfast and a look around; breakfast packages and admission can be a substantial added cost, so compare inclusions before booking.
Continue east to Bali Safari and Marine Park in Serongga—expect around 30–45 minutes on the road, depending on traffic—and set aside three to four hours. It’s a full day, so check the park’s current show and safari schedules before you go and prioritise the experiences you most want; book tickets through the official site or compare listings on Klook for dated offers. Late afternoon, head to Flamingo Beach Club in Saba for a drink or a swim if it’s open and the weather is inviting. Confirm opening hours and any minimum spend directly before setting out, and bring swimwear and a change of clothes.
Finish with dinner at Warung Legong in Keramas, a handy coastal stop from Saba. Budget roughly IDR 100,000–200,000 per person; check its hours and reserve if you’re arriving later in the evening. Keep the return to Canggu flexible: traffic can make the drive considerably longer than expected, so ask your driver for a realistic estimate before dinner and arrange the pickup rather than relying on finding a ride late.
Start early with your pre-booked Bali ATV Ride in the Ubud area. Most guided circuits take about 2–3 hours, and the operator should confirm your meeting point, pickup arrangements and what’s included. Wear clothes you’re happy to get muddy, closed-toe shoes and a change of clothes; bring a waterproof pouch for your phone. Packages vary, but budget roughly IDR 500,000–1,000,000 per person depending on the route and inclusions. If heavy rain has made the track unsafe, ask the operator about rescheduling rather than riding in poor conditions.
Continue by car to Tegenungan Waterfall in Kemenuh, allowing around 1–1.5 hours to visit. There’s an entrance fee, typically in the tens of thousands of rupiah; check the posted rate on arrival. The steps can be slippery, particularly after rain, so take your time and wear shoes with grip. Then head to Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang in Sukawati for a guided visit of about 2–3 hours. Follow your guide’s advice on the route and water conditions: if it has rained heavily or the water is high, choose a shorter visit or skip the canyon for safety.
Have a relaxed local meal at Warung D’Yoni in Guwang, close to the canyon. Expect simple Indonesian dishes and around IDR 50,000–100,000 per person. A private car is the easiest way to connect these spread-out stops; agree on the day’s waiting time and return pickup with your driver before setting off. For ATV and canyon bookings, compare inclusions and recent reviews on Klook or book directly with the operators; discount codes change frequently, so check the checkout page rather than relying on an old code.
Arrange a private driver and a pre-dawn pickup from Ubud for the Mount Batur sunrise jeep tour; the drive to the Kintamani meeting area is usually around 1.5–2 hours, so confirm the exact pickup and tour start time with your operator the night before. The jeep outing typically takes 3–4 hours, and cloud cover can hide the sunrise, so bring a light jacket and don’t count on clear views. Book directly with a reputable operator or compare packages on Klook; prices and any promo codes change, so check the checkout page rather than relying on an old code. After the tour, pause for 30–45 minutes at a Kintamani viewpoint if visibility is good. There are cafés along the caldera road if you need breakfast or a warm drink.
Continue by car to Mason Elephant Park in Taro, allowing roughly 2–3 hours to visit; check the park’s official site for current opening times, ticket options and animal-welfare details before booking. Then it’s a substantial cross-island drive to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces—allow around 2–3 hours depending on traffic, and aim for a 1.5–2-hour walk among the UNESCO-listed paddies before it gets late. Entry and parking are usually paid locally, and muddy paths are possible after rain, so wear shoes with grip. This is a very full day: if the sunrise tour runs late or the weather turns poor, ask your driver to reassess the timing rather than rushing the terrace walk.
Finish with Bali Pulina in Tegalalang for coffee and a light meal, budgeting about IDR 75,000–150,000 per person and checking its closing time before setting out from Jatiluwih. The drive is long and traffic-dependent, so treat this as a flexible final stop, not a guaranteed sunset arrival. Confirm today’s hours and admission directly with each venue; Sunday schedules and availability can vary.
Leave Kintamani early for Sanur Harbour; allow roughly 2–2.5 hours on the road, then arrive 30–45 minutes before your booked fast boat. Confirm the operator’s pier and check-in instructions the night before, and book a return ticket with a return time that leaves a comfortable buffer. Boat schedules and sea conditions can change, so keep your plans flexible.
After landing on Nusa Lembongan, head to Jungutbatu Beach to settle in by the water for an hour. Then join a pre-booked snorkelling trip of around 2–3 hours; operators may adjust the route or cancel if the sea is rough, so check conditions before setting out and bring reef-safe sunscreen. Later, spend about an hour around the seaweed farms of Nusa Lembongan near Jungutbatu. The farms are part of everyday island life, and the coastal paths make for an easy, unhurried look around.
Have an early, casual meal at Warung Bu Edy in Jungutbatu; budget about IDR 50,000–100,000 per person. Allow time to get back to your boat check-in point and follow the fast-boat operator’s return instructions—don’t cut it close, as boarding arrangements vary. If the sea is choppy or your boat time shifts, prioritise getting back to the harbour over fitting in one last stop.
Spend 3–4 hours at Sundays Beach Club in Ungasan: arrive near opening, around 10 a.m., to make the most of the beach, swimming and loungers before the afternoon gets busy. Check the current day-pass price, what it includes and whether you need to reserve; prices and minimum-spend terms can change. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes—the beach is reached by an inclined lift, and sea conditions vary with the tide.
Have a relaxed lunch at the club, then take a car about 25–40 minutes to Padang Padang Beach in Pecatu. Allow an hour or so to enjoy the cove; there’s an entrance fee, and swimming can be affected by surf and tide, so follow the lifeguards’ advice. Head on to Uluwatu Temple for the clifftop paths and sunset views. Dress modestly (sarongs are generally available at the entrance), keep sunglasses and loose belongings close around the monkeys, and arrive early for the Kecak and Fire Dance—tickets can sell out, so check the performance schedule and book ahead if available.
If the performance is running and the weather cooperates, stay for the dance, which usually begins around sunset; arrive early to find seats and confirm the timing on the day. Afterwards, drive a short distance to Warung Bejana in Pecatu for dinner, budgeting roughly IDR 75,000–150,000 per person. Traffic around the temple can build after the show, so agree on a pickup point with your driver before you go in.
For bookable tours and boat tickets, compare the operator’s official site with Klook or GetYourGuide; discounts and promo codes change, so verify them at checkout. Check sea, river, and weather conditions on the day, and use Bluebird taxis via the official app or a clearly marked Bluebird cab for local rides.
Keep the morning easy at LV8 Resort: pack, have a late breakfast and enjoy a final swim if checkout and your flight time allow. If you have a few spare hours, Finns Recreation Club is close by in Berawa for a relaxed pool or leisure stop; check the day’s opening hours and current entry options before heading over. Keep luggage secured at the resort rather than taking it along.
Have a simple lunch at Bali Buda in Canggu—allow about IDR 75,000–150,000 per person—then spend roughly an hour browsing the nearby souvenir shops for gifts. Leave a generous buffer before your flight: the drive from Canggu to the airport can take 1.5–2.5 hours, and traffic can stretch that further. Ask LV8 Resort to arrange a car, or use the official Bluebird app for a metered taxi; confirm your airport terminal and pickup time with your airline.
