Start your morning in a majestic, 14-hectare forest dominated by towering, ancient nutmeg trees (some over 300 years old). Sangeh is famous for its population of sacred grey macaques, which are generally known to be calmer and less aggressive than those in Ubud. At the heart of the forest sits the mystical 17th-century Pura Bukit Sari temple.
Take a brief, relaxing stop at a local plantation. Walk through orchards of coffee, cacao, and tropical spices. Learn the traditional methods of roasting Balinese coffee beans and the unique production of Kopi Luwak. Enjoy a complimentary flight of local herbal teas and coffees.
Get your adrenaline pumping and capture iconic photos at Swing Heaven. Soar high above the lush river valley, jungle canopy, and canyons on various safely-harnessed giant swings. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious lunch at their scenic restaurant overlooking the valley, fuelled and ready for the rest of the day.
Hidden inside a lush, rocky cove, Leke Leke is one of Bali’s most photogenic and serene waterfalls. A beautifully maintained 15-minute hike down bamboo bridges and tropical paths leads you to a narrow, powerful stream of water plunging into a clear, shallow pool surrounded by raw jungle greenery.
Head further up into the cool, misty mountains of Bedugul to visit the iconic “floating” temple. Situated on the shores of Lake Beratan, this 17th-century Shaivite water temple honours Danu, the goddess of lakes and rivers. When the water level rises, the multi-tiered meru shrines appear to float seamlessly on the lake surface, backed by mountain scenery.
Conclude your day at Jatiluwih, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site. Spanning over 600 hectares, these expansive, sweeping rice terraces showcase the ancient Subak irrigation system at its grandest scale. Stroll along the paved walking paths as the late afternoon sun casts a golden glow over the massive amphitheatre of green fields.
