Bali is certainly one of the most beautiful places globally. This tropical island heaven is known for its eclectic mix of wonderful white-sand beaches, an abundance of underwater wonders, unparalleled cultural treasures and luxurious delights that pander to both old and young. It's no surprise why you are having difficulty attempting to decide an itinerary for your trip to Bali. There are just so many places to go to visit and things to do. If you might opt to stay in Bali for good, you would all the time and opportunity to discover all the island's tiny secrets. Suffice it to say, most folks only have around one or two weeks to explore Bali. Where do you go with such little time?
These are some of the finest activities in Bali. Naturally, they do not speak for even a little part of what you can see in the entire island, but you need to start somewhere, right?
Casa Home Spa, Canggu
Recreate the experience of being indulged and pampered in a five-star hotel spa with Casa Home Spa's home services. If you're holidaying at one of the exclusive villas in the Canggu and Seminyak area, you can request one of their topnotch masseuses to provide you a long and good rubdown on your garden beside the pool or within the villa. The specialists are pro and will go out of the way to be certain you only get the best experience. Prices are also cheap, with their higher end massages ranging around $18 to $20 an hour per head. Be sure to leave a good tip, as a couple of dollars can be a week's worth of groceries in Bali. Your specialist will surely appreciate it.
Amed Scuba Tauchzentrum, Amed
Excellent for dive beginners with 0 experience and advanced scuba divers who prefer to go off all alone, Amed Scuba Tauchzentrum is among the favorite diving facilities for Bali visitors. Their dive-masters are very friendly and well informed and they provide clean and professionally maintained equipment for the security of their divers. And, the location is unlike all others. Underwater in Amed is like a page out of a fairy tale; it's simply magical to look at schools of tuna and mackerel swirl around you as you swim your way through. At one time, you'll be amused at all the clownfish peeping up from out of the hydra and in the following second, you will find yourself bewilderedly swimming along next to barracudas. You are safe and secure in good hands, though.
Bali Jet Set Dive and Marine Sports, Tanjung Benoa
For those that have a thirst for adrenaline boosts, head to Bali Jet Set in the south of Bali to experience a considerable number of heart-pumping water activities. The least expensive packages start with flying fishing, jet skiing and a choice between parasailing or banana ship riding for $70 an hour per person. You can customise your own package to incorporate other exciting activities, like snorkeling, wakeboarding, dolphin watching and scuba diving. Bali Jet Set also has a package for honeymooners, which is inclusive of your choice from among fishing, snorkeling or diving and a charming beach dinner set for two at nightfall.
Chez Monique Silver Smith Class, Ubud
Are you having a hard time trying to find the best souvenir for your Bali trip? In Ubud, there's a little silver smith workshop located at the back of a fairly hidden family compound that teaches guests to make their own silver jewellery and lets them keep it. Chez Monique is a bit hard to find, but a taxi driver will know the way. The class begins with you looking at a few footage of rings and pendants for inspiration and then drawing your design on paper, which will be moved to silver by the silver smiths. Next, you are taught the simple way to fill, stamp and engrave your jewelry before it is going to the experts for the finishing touches. For evident reasons, they do not let beginners fool around with the blowtorches, so please don't complain if they don't let you do everything. If you're lucky, you will be the only ones there so you can get all the attention you want from the teachers. You may also call ahead to arrange classes.
