Top Nature in Bali

Bring cash, like I didn't! A lot of small warungs and shops only take cash, and the ATMs can be a bit scarce.

I suggest arriving early, around 7 AM, for fewer crowds and better photo ops. The golden light on the rice terraces is just stunning!

Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for some walking but don't fret! There are spots to take a break and enjoy the scenery. Even flip-flops work!

Don't miss the sunset! I recommend hanging around until around 6 PM for some stunning views. The lighting is magical and it makes for great pictures.

If you’re looking for a quick escape from the crowds, head to the upper viewing platform. It's a bit of a climb, but way less busy, and the view is breathtaking. Totally worth the effort!

Wear your swimsuit! I didn't expect to swim, but it was so refreshing after the hike. The water is a bit chilly, but a quick dip is worth it on a warm day.

I recommend checking out the beach at sunset around 5:30 PM. The views are stunning and you can grab a drink at a beach club while watching the sky change colors.

If you're planning to surf, I suggest renting a board from a local shop instead of the beach vendors. It's usually cheaper and the boards are in better condition!

Be prepared for the sand to get hot around noon! I wish I had brought flip flops instead of walking barefoot, it was a bit uncomfortable.

I think you should take a stroll along the beach to the left... There's a quieter part with fewer crowds and it's perfect for some peaceful sunbathing

Don't bring any snacks or bags that smell like food! I had one little monkey try to snatch my camera just to check if it had any treats in it. Keep your belongings close!

Take your time to explore the forest paths; I rushed through it thinking it was small, but I ended up missing some cool spots and hidden monkeys. It's worth it to be a little slow!

If you're looking for a chill beach day, I'd suggest you hit Kuta Beach around 4 PM. The crowds start thinning out, and the sunset views are unreal.

Try getting a local SIM card when you get to the airport. It's a lifesaver for navigation and communication, and you can find great deals if you shop around a bit!
