If downtime is simply not an option for you – rent a scooter (delivered to most curated stays) and just randomly drive around the Ubud area, turning into alleys that you feel like turning into. Every corner of the Ubud region is unique and you'll inevitably have a great time!

The hike offers stunning views of the sunrise from the top of Mount Batur and should be on the bucket list of every traveler to Bali. The hike is considered moderate, takes approximately two hours each way, and takes place in the early morning hours. You can do it any time of the day, but the sunrise from the volcanic crater over the lake is just magical, so we don't recommend any other way.

The trek starts at the base of the mountain and winds through the jungle before reaching the steeper parts of the ascent. Along the way, you can spot unique flora and fauna, including monkeys, birds, and tropical plants. Once you reach the summit, you are rewarded with breathtaking views of the sunrise over the surrounding mountains and Lake Batur.

You can do this hike yourself, arriving and parking the car at the mount base. But we recommend getting a local guide for a hassle-free experience. You are usually picked up at 2:00-ish am from your hotel in Ubud and start the ascend an hour later. The guides are also knowledgeable about the area and can provide information about the flora, fauna, and local culture.

If you decide to go with the guide – check our curated local recommendations in the links above. We personally like a slightly more expensive, but mind-blowing experience on old 4x4 Jeeps through these stunning landscapes. They also include soaking in hot springs afterward. Totally recommend!

The Mount Batur sunrise hike is a memorable experience and is highly recommended for those looking for adventure and stunning views in Bali.

Just a boat ride away, this island offers dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and an under-the-radar vibe. Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong are just a couple of the natural wonders that make Nusa Penida a must-visit for adventurers.

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.
