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.

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.

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.
