Spiritual wonderings

Bali

The wet season is perfect to tour temples, do yoga, or meditate. Occasional drizzle only adds to the experience. The jungle and rice paddies are extra lush and magical.

If you mostly plan on hiking or bathing in the sun, do it in the dry season. You will appreciate the absence of mosquitos.

Island of the Gods

Bali – Island of the Gods

Kelingking is an iconic beach that is famous for its stunning views of the Indian Ocean and its unique rock formation that resembles a T-Rex dinosaur.

You can enjoy epic views right from the viewing point near the parking lot, but we recommend hiking down to the beach itself. The cliffside is steep but well-maintained and offers unique views every step of the way. It usually takes an hour to go down and back up. Once at the beach, you can enjoy crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, and the towering T-Rex around you.

While the beach was considered an off-the-beaten-path experience in Bali not far ago, it now gets crowded closer to mid-day, so we recommend visiting first thing in the morning after you arrive on the island.

Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is a remote exotic island accessible by a ferry or a private boat with your guided tour. There is no wrong option though: if you like stress-free logistics – we recommend a guided tour, and if you like to explore at your own pace – here is what you need to know:

Take a taxi to Sanur Harbor. If you arrive on your scooter or car – there is a parking lot where you can drop it off. Once at the harbor, there are a few vendors, but we recommend buying tickets for Mola-Mola Express which is one of the fastest and safest options and will take you to the island in about 30 minutes. It costs around $10 one way.

Keep in mind that Nusa Penida became quite popular in recent years, so we recommend taking one of the earliest ferries at 8:30 am, and to ensure you have a ticket for that day – it's better to be at the ticket office at 7:30-ish.

Also keep in mind that Nusa Penida is a big island and almost impossible to explore on foot, so you'll need to rent a scooter or a driver to explore the island.

And last but not least – the last ferries back depart at 4:30 pm, so make sure you make it back in time. If you decide on staying overnight at the island – reach out to your hotel and they will help with the logistics around the island.
