Day 3
Seminyak:
After breakfast, you will be picked up and transferred you Kuta beach where you will learn how to surf. Catching your first wave is an experience you’ll never forget and knowing the correct technique will have you up on your feet and surfing in no time.
Clean your body from the beach sand as you will continue your journey to one of the best beach clubs in Bali, for enjoying brunch and drink at Café Del Mar. Afterwards, continue driving to La Brisa for a drink and chill with a tapas-style menu. Along the way, you’ll see some of Indonesia's most iconic rice terraces.
Once complete, we’ll travel through some of the area’s nearby beach villages towards the stunning 17th-century temple of Pura Batu Ngaus, a fertility temple perched on a rock in the ocean. The Balinese come here to seek medicine or fertility blessings from the mangku (priest) and leave offerings in a most unusual way: in a blowhole in the rock that connects to the ocean via an underwater cave. This temple is far off the tourist track, feeling a world away from the crowds that swarm Bali’s more famous sites. Along the way to Pura Batu Ngaus, you’ll pass typically Bali-sequel scenes of government-protected rice terraces and catch glimpses of the sea and the far-off cliffs of Uluwatu — keep your camera close by for those classic Bali shots!
Thirsty and hungry again? Good! Because up next for end of our trip we’ll go to Finns Beach Club which they claim that they are the world’s best beach club for sunset!

Mt. Batur Sunrise Trek - Candidasa:
12 am wake up call. We will drive you to Mt Batur (2.5 hrs). The mountainous region around Kintamani, centering around the spectacular volcanic caldera of Mt. Batur, boasts deep crater lakes and bubbling hot springs. Today will be a treat!
Clean crisp mountain air and stunning views in all directions are what makes Kintamani one of the most visited tourist stops in Bali.
Batur is a truly fabulous volcano, consisting of a ‘double caldera’ – one crater inside another. Nearing Kintamani, the land rises steadily towards an almost featureless horizon – with only Gunung Agung and Gunung Abang in view to the east. The volcano rim has a diameter of over 14 kilometers and down in the crater sits the blackened cone of Gunung Batur. To the right, Gunung Batur is surrounded by the long, blue waters of Lake Batur, and on the left, the lava fields created by relatively recent volcanic eruptions engulf all previous life forms.
Start climbing the volcanic Mt Batur (1,717 m) from inside a stark and spectacular caldera. As you make your way up, you will be able to see the stunning Lake Batur. The lake supports the local fishing industry, and many of the villagers work as guides for the volcano climb. After descending the mountain, you will be transferred to Candidasa.
Free at leisure upon arrival in Candidasa.
