Bali is well known for its great selection of beaches – making it a particularly smart choice for a summer holiday. However, your holiday in Bali can easily extend far beyond that – so don’t make the same mistake like most new tourists and stick to the beach – explore what else this wonderful place has to offer!

If you go to the village of Ubud, you could explore a good variety of museums, mostly related to paining and visual arts in general. This includes the Neka Museum, the Komaneka Gallery as well as the Agung Rai Museum of Art.

Taking a cruise on a boat is also an exciting opportunity in Bali, and opens up the possibility for a variety of related activities, such as scuba diving (or snorkeling if you don’t like diving too deep), riding on a banana boat, or enjoying a tasty meal while out at open sea.

Bali certainly offers many water-related activities – including the three famous rafting centers in the country—but there’s also a lot to see in its mountains, and your holiday in Bali will only be truly complete if you took your bike and rode down from Gunung Batur to Ubud – a long and satisfying downhill trip which will leave you craving for more – though it’s a good idea to take your bike back up with a car since it’s a long ride. As you’re descending, you’ll pass by various species of plants and may even spot some more curious examples of the local wildlife.

Apart from all these things, you could just take a simple walk – Ubud has various trails around it that are perfect for exploration, so make sure you have come with a sturdy pair of shoes – you’re going to put them through quite the test with your long walks around here!
