Bali Attractions

Sightseeing in Bali is a somewhat relaxing undertaking, with many of the island's best attractions centred round the breathtaking beaches, but step away from the sugary white sands and warm turquoise waters to the verdant and tropical interior or the island to discover much more to this popular island than meets the eye.

Kuta beach is without a doubt the beach to go for sun and surf, but plenty others are also worth exploring, such as Legian and Sanur beach, while Seminyak beach is the place for art lovers to peruse the tiny shopping galleries. Nature lovers will have a great time exploring Bali's waterfalls, such as Gitgit and Blahmantung Falls, while the very fit will love a sunrise climb to the top of Mount Batur. After a long day of sightseeing, the hot springs of Banjar will rejuvenate tired muscles. Explore Bali's wildlife up close at the Sangeh Monkey Forest near Sangeh, or the Bird Park in Singapadusuch. For something a little more exciting, book an elephant safari.

With all these attractions and more, Bali offers a little something for everyone.
