Here, the water is azure blue and crystal clear, accompanied by stunning sceneries. It is fun to hop on your motorbike and visit the unspoilt nature, laid-back surf beaches, and villages. Head towards Geger Beach and Pandawa in Nusa Dua or Padang Padang (great for kids) and Dreamland (wonderfully high waves) in Uluwatu for nice and developed beaches, or visit Nyang Nyang Beach if you&#8217;d like a quieter spot. \u00a0It&#8217;s hard to see all of the beaches in one day, so you should set aside a few days to explore each location.

It can get quite hot in the day, so it is best to start very early in the morning or in the late afternoon. You can get to enjoy the fresh mountain air and lush green valleys with Mount Agung as the backdrop. On top of that, you will be burning some of those calories too! During the hike, you will pass some art galleries and caf\u00e9s where you can take a break with some drinks and snacks.

Tanah Lot is one of the most famous temples in Bali, sitting at the edge of a cliff in the Tabanan regency of Bali. Next is Uluwatu Temple, located at 70-meters above sea level where the majestic waves crash to the limestone walls, providing visitors with breathtaking views. Lastly, Besakih temple is known as &#8216;the mother temple&#8217;, found on the slopes of Mount Agung.

In <strong>Ubud&#8217;s Monkey Forest<\/strong> you can wander around, feeding bananas to monkeys and taking some funny photos. Be wary of your belongings, though, as they love to take hold of your hats, sunglasses, iPhones,\u00a0and yes, they can also open bags. Near to Ubud, you visit the <strong>Elephant Camp<\/strong>. Meeting these majestic creatures of the land is really something special! You can wash, feed and ride them. Don&#8217;t worry, the animals are treated well! In Lovina, you can go on a <strong>dolphin watching trip<\/strong>. Do note that sometimes, there are more boats than dolphins around. The trick is to go a bit later than the recommended time. This way you will be one of the few boats on the water, surrounded by hundreds of dolphins swimming and jumping into the air.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our team&#8217;s favourite<\/strong>: Ubud&#8217;s Monkey Forest is easy to get to and packed with a lot of fun!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Learn_to_surf\"><\/span>7.

With their help, it is possible to be standing on your surfboard during your first lesson. Afterwards, enjoy a cold Bintang beer or a young coconut, watching your fellow surfers work on their skills out at sea. It is fun, tiring and who knows, you might\u00a0turn into a pro one day.
