Start your adrenaline-filled trip in Bali by visiting the Uluwatu Temple, a 10th-century temple perched atop a cliff with stunning views of the Indian ocean. Besides being a significant religious spot, this temple is also famous for its mesmerizing Kecak dance performances against the backdrop of the sunset.
Feel the excitement of trekking up Bali's most iconic volcano - the Mount Batur. The trek is approximately 2 hours but will feel longer with regular stops to enjoy the sunrise, stunning views, and a breakfast picnic at the top. Mount Batur is moderately challenging, so be sure to wear proper trekking shoes and physically fit for the activity.
Round up your adventurous trip with an intense 2-hour river rafting activity along the Ayung River. This river offers Class II and III rapids, a perfect combination of nature's beauty and thrilling adventure. Experience the rush of adrenaline as you maneuver your way through the river and take in the pristine rainforest views surrounding you.
As each activity is spaced apart, it is recommended to rent a car or scooter to travel around Bali comfortably. Most taxi and ride-hail options are also available but at a slightly higher cost. You can expect to spend around 700,000 IDR in total for car/scooter rental and petrol costs.
For those with more time in Bali, consider adding a day to visit the stunning Sekumpul waterfall located about 2 hours from Ayung River. If you have less time, you can skip the trekking activity or the Uluwatu temple and spend more time at another spot that interests you.
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), also known as Denpasar International Airport, is the only airport servicing Bali. It is located in Denpasar, the capital city of Bali, about 13 km (8 miles) from Kuta, Bali's main tourist destination.
