Things to do in Bali

Day Trips in Bali

Full-day guided tours with a private driver or small group, usually combining several sights that are too far apart to reach comfortably on your own.

Common routes take in Ubud and its waterfalls, the temples and beaches of South Bali (Uluwatu, GWK, Pandawa, Melasti), the Kintamani volcano region, and boat-based days to Nusa Penida.

Bali's roads are slow, so a 10-hour day is normal and the itinerary matters more than the distance. Confirm what's included — entry tickets, lunch and hotel pick-up area are the usual variables.

Planning day trips in Bali

  • A private driver for a full day is often similar in price to two seats on a group tour, and lets you change the order of stops when traffic or weather turns.
  • Ask whether entry tickets and lunch are included, and where the pick-up zone ends — Ubud and Uluwatu pick-ups sometimes carry a surcharge from the beach suburbs.
  • Nusa Penida days involve a fast boat from Sanur and can be cancelled in rough conditions, so schedule them early in the trip rather than the day before you fly.
