Top 10 Things to Do in Bali

Here's a list of Top 10 Things to Do in Bali recommended by our experts:

Welcome to the ‘Island of the Gods’! Bali is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. One of the most beautiful places on earth, Bali is surrounded by turquoise seas and golden beaches and is a surfer’s paradise! Aside from being a favourite hangout for beach bums, Bali is known for its huge number of other attractions such as its temples, local flea markets, art and craft, parks, caves, waterfalls and museums. The art markets are a unique shopping experience and they give you a keen insight into the wonderful artistry and creativity of the island’s craftsmen. Culture vultures make their way over to Ubud, the cultural centre of Bali, to learn all about local legends and Balinese traditions. While backpackers and groups of friends often explore Kuta for its fun party culture, Ubud is where you need to be for a more local flavour. Many Ubud shops are geared towards the tourist dollar, yet the quality and range of products is immense with something for every conceivable budget. Unique designs in textiles and artwork sit side by side kitsch souvenirs and exotic fruits and vegetables. If you are an adventure junkie, you can expect a fantastic array of water sports, muck and wreck diving, and a chance fly through a jungle canopy like Tarzan! The list of things to do and sights to see in Bali is never ending. We have rounded up the top 10 sightseeing attractions in Bali:
