Indonesia is one of the most amazing destinations I´ve ever been. The food, people, culture, beaches, forest, accomodations and much more. In this guide you will find the best places to visit on Bali and Nusa Penida. Also, if you don´t wanna spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for resorts, I will show you some nice accommodations🏠 where to stay in budget and because good food means good mood, you will see here a lot of great restaurants🥢 and bars🥂 I´ve been.
Before we start, you should know that Indonesia is not just about the beautiful beaches and cheap food. Everything has its own magic. I did this trip myself so I can say, you have to try something from everything because if you stay in one or two places, you will never see what else these islands can offer you.

Experience a unforgettable trip through the Indonesian archipelago, where Bali and its neighboring gems captivate with their pristine beaches, jungle waterfalls, volcano vistas, lush rice fields, and vibrant cultures, creating a true paradise for adventurous souls seeking an island-hopping journey. This itinerary includes in-depth travel information on the following locations: Canggu and Uluwatu on the island of Bali (with day trip suggestions to Ubud and other areas around the island), the town of Kuta on Bali’s neighboring island of Lombok, Nusa Lembongan, and a Komodo Island boat trip. Here’s exactly what you can expect from my Ultimate Bali Travel Guide 👇
This guide is the result of hours upon hours of planning, research, and my in-person experience and lessons-learned after spending 6 weeks in these areas during 2 different trips. The guide includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems, waterfalls, & beaches.
It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area including:
1. Over 30 activities (including 12 beaches, 11 waterfalls, 6 temples, where to get up close and personal with monkeys, stunning rice terraces you can walk through, the best snorkeling tour I have ever done, volcano treks, scenic viewpoints, surf spots, and more!)
2. 50+ accommodation suggestions including luxury Balinese villas, boutique hotels, tropical bungalows, secret island eco lodges, surf camps, yoga retreats, waterfront rooms with volcano views, and exactly where I stayed during my own trip ( & where I only spent on average $38 per night (based on 2 people sharing a room))!
3. What airport to fly into/out of, how to get around including scooter rental suggestions and contact information for the EXACT drivers I used, and exactly how to get from one location to the next!
4. Hyperlinks to every single resource you could need to book your trip directly from the guide
5. A cost breakdown of what I spent on my trip to help you budget for your own!
6. Logistics around traveling to Indonesia such as whether you’ll need a visa, how to prepare medically (vaccines you may need, travel insurance, and tips to avoid the dreaded Bali Belly), SIM cards, what to pack, and navigating the currency (using cash vs credit cards, tipping culture, etc.)
7. Behind the scenes exclusive photos and videos from me
Plus it’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!
I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for adventure travelers (like me!) and feel so confident you will have an amazing trip with this guide by your side 😏 As a part of your purchase of the guide, here are a few promises I can make you:
1. This is a LIVING guide: I will update it as I find more information and discover more places which means you have lifetime access to all updated information as it’s added!
2. I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit! I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself!
3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly.
This guide truly is everything you need to plan an adventure-filled trip to Bali and its surrounding islands. I can’t wait to hear & see your adventure! Feel free to send me a DM with your feedback, fill out my feedback form at the bottom of the guide, & tag me in your photos! @katbennettphoto

I spent a whole month exploring Bali, and each part of the island has something different to offer!
However, Bali is a very touristic destination with lots of tourist traps. That’s why I curated an itinerary focused on the less crowded and most authentic side, where you will visit well-known attractions that are still worth visiting but mostly hidden gems.
What's included:
- An overview of all the areas you will visit in this itinerary.
- Recommended things to do per area
- All the practical information you need: how to get around, Bali belly, travel tips and more.
- An interactive Map to get directions with Google Maps
