selamat siang indonesia destination guide

No Bali trip is complete without a stop at the magical rice terraces of Tegallalang in Ubud. While there’s no shortage of gorgeous rice fields to see in Indonesia, Tegallalang really takes the cake. You’ll be amazed by the lush rice paddies glistening over the hillsides, plus there are jungle swings and walking trails for that perfect photo opportunity.

The spectacular landscapes don’t stop coming in Indonesia and we’ll take you to see Lake Batur, the biggest lake in Bali. It’s set inside a volcanic crater on the slopes of the iconic Mount Batur and is one of the most stunning places to see in Indonesia. With gorgeous views stretching for miles, there’s no better place to relax in nature’s beauty.

Out of all temples on the island, this one is extra special, and you can’t miss exploring Tanah Lot on your Bali sightseeing tour. The name means ‘Land in the Sea’ and it's a perfect fit for this stunning temple perched high on a rock over the crashing ocean. We'll take you there at sunset to marvel at the temple silhouetted against the orange sky.

We went to Ubud Market where we chose the freshest herbs, fruits, vegetables and spices, then headed back to the kitchen where the chef let us in on all the tips and tricks to whip up our favourite Balinese dishes. The best part? Eating it all, of course!

I admired so many batik paintings in the market so it was fantastic to learn about the batik process and take home such a special memento. We also visited a leather puppet maker and learnt about Wayang Kulit, a traditional puppet theatre considered to be one of the highest artforms in Javanese culture.

All my eighties fantasies became a reality in Bali! We went full retro when we spent the afternoon touring Denpasar city and the coastline in a vintage VW kombi. I couldn't think of a better way to hit the Bali road and see all the beautiful sights!
