Day 2: White Water Rafting in Ubud & Ubud Market Stroll
Kick off your second day in Bali with white water rafting on the Ayung River in Ubud! Start your morning with a thrilling 2-hour rafting tour with Surya Bintang Adventures.
You'll glide through jungle landscapes, past hidden waterfalls, and navigate exciting rapids. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and scenic beauty. Don’t worry about the gear!
With the adventure package from Surya Bintang Adventures, you will be covered with complete equipment, professional guides, and top-notch safety measures. After the excitement, reward yourself with a hearty buffet lunch while soaking in the views of Bali’s lush green valleys.
In the afternoon, shift gears and stroll through the charming Ubud Art Market, where you can shop for handmade crafts, batik fabrics, and unique Balinese souvenirs. Just across the street, take a walk through Ubud Palace, a historical site filled with ornate Balinese architecture that’s perfect for your photo collection.
As the evening rolls in, immerse yourself in local culture by watching a traditional Balinese dance performance at the palace or enjoy dinner at one of Ubud’s cozy local warungs serving authentic Indonesian dishes.
Day 3: Ubud Cycling Tour & Tegallalang Rice Terraces
The third day is a time to slow down and really soak in the breathtaking landscape of Bali with a cycling tour through Ubud. In the morning, hop on a bike with Surya Bintang Adventures and cycle along quiet village roads, forest paths, and hidden trails.
Along the way, you'll visit traditional Balinese homes, interact with friendly locals, and maybe even join in a simple village ceremony. You’ll also get a chance to sip on some refreshing young coconut water while surrounded by tropical nature.
Later in the day, head over to the famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces. These iconic emerald-green terraces offer a stunning view and a great opportunity for photos.
Feeling a little daring? Try the Bali Swing that overlooks the terraces or take a coffee break at a nearby plantation and sample kopi luwak, one of the world’s rarest (and priciest!) coffees.
Then wrap up your day with a relaxing dinner at Surya Bintang Adventures’ restaurant, where you’ll find a delicious variety of menu options to suit every taste. From hearty Asian flavors or prefer something light and vegetarian, we’ve got it all. After a day of cycling through Ubud’s stunning landscapes, there’s no better way to refuel and unwind!
Day 4: Kayaking in Hidden Spots & Tirta Empul Temple Visit
Looking for something active but a bit more laid-back? Day four is perfect for a kayaking adventure followed by a spiritual temple visit. Start your morning by paddling through serene rivers or peaceful lakes with our kayaking package.
This kayaking experience is ideal for beginners and pros alike, offering you a unique way to explore Bali’s natural beauty. Surrounded by tropical greenery and calm waters, it’s the ultimate Zen moment.
In the afternoon, head to Tirta Empul Temple, one of Bali’s holiest temples known for its sacred spring water. Participate in a traditional purification ritual, where locals and tourists alike cleanse themselves under the temple’s water spouts.
As the sun sets, enjoy a quiet dinner with a view of rice fields or unwind in a jungle-themed café. It’s a beautiful way to end a meaningful and refreshing day.
Day 5: Thrilling ATV Riding & Waterfall Hopping
Adrenaline junkies, this day is for you! In the morning, rev your engine and gear up for an exciting ATV adventure with Surya Bintang Adventures. This isn’t your ordinary ride since Surya Bintang is the only provider that takes you through a natural track with no concrete, so you’ll get muddy in the best way possible.
Cruise through rivers, rice paddies, bamboo forests, and village paths with full safety support and expert guides by your side. It’s thrilling, fun, and a top highlight of any Bali trip.
After your ride, freshen up and set off to explore Tukad Cepung Waterfall, known for its magical sun rays filtering through the cave opening, or Tibumana Waterfall, perfect for a cooling dip in nature’s pool.
By evening, you’ll probably be a bit sore (but in a good way), so treat yourself to a relaxing Balinese massage or take a long soak in your hotel’s bathtub.
Day 6: Balinese Culture Day – Temples, Dance & Cooking Class
Today’s all about diving deep into Bali’s rich cultural heritage. Start your day by visiting Besakih Temple, also known as the Mother Temple, perched on the slopes of Mount Agung. If you're up for a bit of a drive and want that iconic Instagram shot, head to Lempuyang Temple, famous for its majestic Gates of Heaven.
In the afternoon, join a Balinese cooking class where you’ll learn to prepare traditional dishes like nasi goreng, satay, and spicy sambal. Most classes begin with a market visit where you’ll shop for fresh local ingredients and spices. It’s a delicious way to learn more about Balinese life and take home skills you can actually use.
As the sun sets, drive to Uluwatu Temple for the legendary Kecak fire dance performance set against a dramatic cliffside ocean view. Cap off the night with a seafood feast at Jimbaran Bay, where tables are set right on the beach. Pure magic!
Day 7: Beach Day & Souvenir Shopping
Your last day in Bali is all about relaxing and wrapping things up. Start your morning with some sunshine and salty breeze at Nusa Dua or Padang Padang Beach. Whether you want to surf, swim, or simply lay on the sand with a fresh coconut in hand, it’s the perfect way to unwind.
Later, it’s time for a bit of souvenir shopping. Head to Krisna Oleh-Oleh or Beachwalk Mall in Kuta for last-minute gifts—think Balinese coffee, sarongs, herbal oils, or local snacks like pia. Don’t forget to pick up something for yourself too!
As your trip comes to a close, enjoy one last sunset cocktail at a beach bar and reflect on all the incredible moments you’ve had over the past week.
