As your plane touches down in Bali, the warm tropical breeze greets you, and the scent of frangipani flowers. Our Sigo Trips guide will be waiting to welcome you with a traditional Balinese lei as you step into this island oasis.

Our first stop is the iconic Ubud Monkey Forest, where mischievous macaques roam freely amidst ancient temples and lush greenery. Next, we'll visit the Ubud Art Market, where you can browse a vibrant array of handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs crafted by local artisans. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, where emerald-green paddies cascade down the hillsides in a breathtaking display of natural beauty.

Island Adventure

Today, we'll set sail for Nusa Penida, a hidden gem just a short boat ride from Bali's mainland. Brace yourself for stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters as we explore the island's pristine beaches and dramatic cliffs. Don't miss the chance to snorkel with colorful marine life at Crystal Bay or snap a selfie at the iconic Kelingking Beach viewpoint. After a day of adventure, we'll return to Bali in the evening, where you can unwind with a traditional Balinese massage to soothe your weary muscles.

Beach Day

No trip to Bali is complete without a day of sun, sea, and sand. Spend today soaking up the sun on the golden shores of Seminyak Beach, where you can swim, surf, or simply relax with a refreshing coconut in hand. For lunch, indulge in fresh seafood at one of the beachfront cafes, then take a stroll along the coastline as the sun sets in a blaze of fiery hues.

Cultural Immersion

Our final day in Bali is dedicated to immersing ourselves in the island's rich cultural heritage. We'll start with a visit to the majestic Uluwatu Temple, perched on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. Marvel at the traditional Kecak fire dance performance as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the ancient temple walls. Afterward, we'll enjoy a farewell dinner featuring Balinese delicacies and traditional dance performances, reminiscing about our unforgettable journey through Bali.
