Bali Tourist Attractions & Activities

There are places in the world that seem almost too good to be true. Surrounded by epic views, delectable dining, and incredible wildlife, these magical destinations are sought after by those in need of rest and relaxation. Bali is one of these otherworldly places. Once you get a taste of the island life, you may very well never leave, but even for those who only temporarily call this Indonesian island home, there is something extraordinary about it. Upon arrival (most often via plane or cruise ship), visitors will notice the underwater reefs and emerald island-dotted waterways. Each of these small land masses provides beautiful natural landscapes and countless opportunities for adventure. If you’re wondering what to do in Bali, you’ve come to the right place.

Things to Do in Bali

From zip lining over the jungle past hidden temples to excursions atop a slowly swaying elephant, there are plenty of Balinese tours to fit your fancy. Try your hand at surfing one of Bali’s famous southern breaks, or dive beneath the waves on a scuba diving adventure the likes of which you’ve never seen. Home to a wide variety of marine plants and animals, Bali’s waters are teeming with life. Make sure your waterproof camera is ready to capture images of manta rays, reef sharks, sea turtles, and many more. Chartering a boat to explore the surrounding islands is another popular option; you’ll be amazed at the diverse variety of reefs that surround Bali’s shores.

For those who prefer a land excursion, strolling through one of Bali’s many markets admiring the local handicrafts is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Balinese artistic traditions range from ancient metalworking techniques to authentic leather goods, making it a treasure hunt of sorts to find the perfect souvenir (or two) to take home. After exploring the streets or a long day of diving, it’s time to enjoy a traditional kecak dance as you dine on Bali’s famous seafood to the sounds of local musicians.
