About the program

A Bali tour is a dream for many newlyweds and families: a green Indonesian island that brings rice terraces, volcanoes, waterfalls and beaches together in one place. The 9-day Bali tour begins with three nights in Ubud, the green heart of the island, then five nights on the south coast with a boat trip to Nusa Penida island. Bali is famous for its private villas with pools set in nature, its quiet resorts on the Indian Ocean, and the arts and crafts markets of Ubud.

We chose one coherent route within Bali instead of hopping between Indonesian islands, so you spend more time enjoying yourself and less time on the road. Flights from Istanbul to Bali International Airport are available, and their duration varies by route and airline. If you like the cool mountain atmosphere of Puncak and Bandung, you can add them before Bali in a longer program. We pace the tours comfortably to suit newlyweds and families alike.

Trip highlights

  • Tegallalang rice terraces and the Monkey Forest in Ubud
  • View of Mount Batur and its volcanic lake from Kintamani
  • Ulun Danu Beratan Temple on Lake Beratan in the highlands
  • Sunset at Tanah Lot Temple on a rock in the sea
  • Boat trip to Nusa Penida and the Kelingking Beach viewpoint
  • Water sports at Tanjung Benoa and the beaches of Nusa Dua
  • Kecak dance performance on the cliffs of Uluwatu

Suggested accommodation

CityNightsSuggested
Ubud3Private pool villas in the forest or among the rice terraces, or 4-star hotels near central Ubud.
Nusa Dua / Jimbaran5Quiet beach resorts in Nusa Dua, suited to families and newlyweds, or Jimbaran for those who love sunsets and seafood.
Temple visits are optional and for viewing and photography from outside, and can be replaced with nature stops; we will point you to the nearest mosque or prayer room to your hotel.
Entry requirements: Indonesia grants a visa on arrival or a pre-arranged e-visa to a number of nationalities, while other nationalities need a visa from the embassy. Bali charges a tourist tax on foreign visitors, and an electronic arrival card must be completed. Fees may change, so we confirm entry requirements for your nationality before booking.
Best season: The dry season from April to October is best for tours and boat trips, while rain is frequent from November to March and prices are often lower.
Puncak and Bandung (optional): If you prefer a cool mountain atmosphere near Jakarta, you can add 3 or 4 nights in Puncak and Bandung before Bali, with a domestic flight to the island.

Questions & answers

Questions about the Bali 9-day tour

Bali or Puncak for a family?

Bali suits those who love the sea, tropical nature and resorts, while Puncak suits those looking for a cool mountain atmosphere and family chalets near Jakarta. You can combine them in a longer program, and we will suggest the split based on your children's ages and your interests.

Is there a tourist tax in Bali?

Yes. The Bali government charges a one-time tourist tax for each foreign visitor, set at 150,000 Indonesian rupiah as of the latest announced update, and it may change. We will explain how to pay it before you travel.

Is Bali good for a honeymoon?

Absolutely. It is one of the most popular destinations for newlyweds: private-pool villas in Ubud, magical sunsets at Tanah Lot and Uluwatu, and dinner on the sands of Jimbaran. We keep the pace of the tours gentle to suit a honeymoon.

Is halal food available in Bali?

Most people in Bali are Hindu, but halal food is available in the main tourist areas such as Nusa Dua, Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud. We recommend halal restaurants near your hotel.
