Bali, often dubbed the Island of the Gods, is a paradise that captivates visitors with its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and endless adventures. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or someone looking to immerse yourself in the local culture, here are five must-do activities to include in your next trip to Bali.

5 Must-Do Things for your next trip to Bali

1.      Swing above the rice terraces

The iconic swings in places like Ubud offer a breathtaking view that makes for the perfect Instagram moment. Suspended high above the fields, the adrenaline rush is like no other with amazing views.

Be sure to relax at the nearby café or restaurant to fully enjoy the beauty of the rice terraces while you’re by the swings. Don’t forget to bring your camera—this is one moment you’ll want to capture!

1.      Snorkel in Nusa Penida

Only a short boat ride from Bali lies Nusa Penida, a diver’s paradise teeming with vibrant marine life. The crystal-clear waters and stunning coral reefs make it an ideal spot for snorkelling.

With many snorkelling spots to choose from such as Manta Point and Crystal Bay, you’ll not be disappointed with gorgeous coral and colourful fish and, if you’re lucky, majestic manta rays.

1.      Take a silver ring making class in Ubud

Taking a step away from the gorgeous landscapes lies a small village near Ubud where you can immerse yourself in local culture by taking a silver ring making class. Here you will be shown traditional techniques to create your very own piece of jewellery.

A perfect way to experience something different and learn about ancient techniques and be fully involved in a local community. Plus, your very own souvenir to take home.

1.      Book a surf lesson on Seminyak beach

With warm waters, consistent waves, and stunning sunsets as a backdrop, there’s no better place to learn to surf. No matter if you are a complete beginner or have some experience, there are surf lessons for all abilities.

Seminyak Beach is the perfect spot to join an experienced instructor and have fun catching the waves.

After your lesson unwind at one the bars and restaurants which line the beach to capture the perfect sunset – the perfect end to the day.

1.      Feel the thrill of an AVT Mud Tour

Looking for something different with an adrenaline rush? An AVT Mud Tour is perfect! Riding through the Balinese countryside you’ll find yourself zooming through lush jungles and muddy trails all while enjoying the exhilaration of off-roading.

This is an unforgettable experience and a different way to see what the island has to offer.

Bali offers something for everyone, from adrenaline pumping activities and cultural experiences to stunning sunsets and delicious cuisine, making it a unique destination.

This is a trip you will not regret – so pack your bags and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime.
