Hi! And welcome to your new fulfilling adventure!

I would suggest beginning your trip early in the morning to avoid the crowds and have a full day of adventures without feeling rushed. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park opens at 9:00 am, so it is best to arrive at the park by that time

Useful Tips:

Grab | Gojek - scooter/car taxi & food delivery

Keep in mind that on many beaches, especially in Uluwatu, you cannot order a taxi through the app, but only local drivers with a fixed higher price

What do you need for this trip:

- swimming suit and a headcover

- sunscreen and sunglasses 

- a blanket to lay on 

- cash for a taxi from the beach 

- water to stay hydrated 

- phone or camera for stunning photos

Let's start!

I recommend to skip the breakfast before starting the itinerary as we will grab it on the way

Our first stop is a walking park, main statue of which you can see from all south cost of the island, it is huge!

This place will take about 1-1,5 hour

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park
@karavaevatasha
There are many extraordinary statues and striking cut-out limestone rocks. Ask about a buggy to take you to statues if you want to save your strength for other adventures

Right after this fantastic cut-out rocks road is finished it will be a turn to the beach. In 5 minutes later it will be a main beach, but we need this private right like in the photos

After relaxing on the first beach, you can order a Gojek to take you to your next stop - Karma Beach.

To get there, you need to drive to Karma Beach and park your bike near the restaurant on the top of the hill. Go around the restaurant on the left side, next to the gray wall. After skipping the gray wall, you will see a road leading down from the cliff to the beach. Be careful as the path can be slippery.

Karma Kandara Private Beach
@karavaevatasha
Bluewater, high green cliffs, and soft yellow sand make this place a paradise. There are two ways to get there: a paid option and a free option crossing the restaurant on the hill on its left side. We chose the free option, and it was exciting!

Temple time! Be aware of the monkeys, they love to explore guest's stuff

Uluwatu Temple
@karavaevatasha
It's a magnificent place with stunning scenic views and a beautiful sunset. Be careful of the wild monkeys! Ensure you do not have any dangling key chains or hand sanitizer and secure your sunglasses as these are their favorite items to grab.

Time for sunset!

Jimbaran Beach
@karavaevatasha
One of the best beaches to meet sunsets, the shoreline is quite long, and you can enjoy a wide angle of the sunset. Can even have a seafood feast by the beach.

Beach Clubs

You can visit one of these two beach clubs for a sunset or party tonight, or save it for another day and spend all your time enjoying the beach club experience

Sundays Beach Club

You can stay here all day long as there are so many activities. First, you will overlook the majestic sea view from the hill and beautiful grass field. You have to queue for a while until being called go down to the sea with an automatic elevator. You are free to order anything as long as in minimum purchase you paid beforehand and can enjoy the beach, kayaking, snorkeling, paddle board, or just swimming.
