The view at Kelingking Beach is truly stunning, but it does require struggle and physical strength to get there. Hopefully the stairs down will be repaired

The beach is great for sunset and surfing. With its black sand, this beach is one of the few beaches where tourists still come for surfing, jogging, relaxing beer drinking, and dog running. With many bars here, the streets get very crowded and conges...

This tourist spot has a fairly extreme travel path and a steep downhill road. From the entrance counter, you need to go down the road for a few minutes to arrive right at the location of Virgin Beach.

Because it has fairly calm waves, Sanur beach cannot be used for surfing like Kuta Beach.[1] Not far from Sanur Beach there are also diving and snorkeling tourist sites. This dive site can be used by divers of all skill levels. Sanur Beach is also kn...

As a non-vegertarian, I was surprised by how tasty and fulfilling the vegan and vegetarian options are here. The portions are huge, and the price is very fair for the quality. I had a great coffee and left feeling super satisfied!

Temple

Don’t let reviews scare you off, the monkeys are harmless. We had a lovely walk across the temple, yes there’s lots of monkeys but if you mind your own business they won’t even notice you. The views here were stunning, and the Kecak dance is a must.

One of the oldest religious & praying places for Hindu people in Bali. I visited when there's a Bharata Turun Khabeh sacred ritual so it's packed with locals who wanted to pray for their Gods. It's so beautiful and the price is quite fair compare...

Lovely place to walk around. Monkeys were well behaved and a lot of fun. We didn't take Sun glasses as we didn't want them stolen by a Monkey, but it would have been fine. They were well behaved but we followed the signs in regards to not touching et...
