Things to do in Bali

I made a reservation four days in advance, and the 6:00 PM slot was sold out, so I chose 7:00 PM. The same-day tickets also sold out by 6:30 PM, so it's definitely better to book through Klook. The venue only opens after the 6:00 PM show finishes, so the entrance line didn't start moving until 7:00 PM. Seating begins from the upper rows. Those who arrived later had to sit on the ground. Many people also had to stand. Even if you get a seat, it's very cramped, with your shoulders touching the person next to you. The 7:00 PM show actually started at 7:22 PM. The Kecak dance was absolutely wonderful. The front seats offer a closer and more impactful view of the performers. There was heavy traffic both going to and from the venue, but it was well worth seeing, even with that in mind. The sunset was also beautiful, and the waves crashing below the cliff were impressive. The temple is full of mischievous monkeys. My glasses were snatched from behind my head. It seems they target people who are sitting down. Be careful of the monkeys!

We had a very good instructor! My son had never surfed before! This was his first experience. On his very first try, my son was able to stay on the waves by himself. A big thank you to the instructor. We were a little late, but our agent wrote that they were waiting for us and we could still come. Thank you to the company for that ❤️

When you buy the ticket from Klook you just go through the gates and scan true QR code- no need to change it at counter for entry ticket. this makes it easier to skip the lines. It gets crowded quickly so this saves time! The monkey Forest has changed since I was last here and it looks like it’s getting more . The monkeys are cute and mischievous. Staff all around to help if you need a photo, hat retrieved or to shoo away the monkeys if they become troublesome! Loved my time here.

GWK Cultural is one of Bali's most iconic cultural landmarks, blending impressive architecture, Balinese mythology, and spectacular open-air spaces into a memorable experience. Originally established in 1989 by renowned Balinese sculptor I Nyoman Nuarta, the park was built on the site of a former limestone quarry and transformed into a vibrant cultural and artistic center. The undisputed highlight is the magnificent Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, depicting the Hindu god Vishnu riding Garuda. Standing 121 meters tall—even taller than the Statue of Liberty—the monumental sculpture is made of copper and brass and took nearly 30 years to complete before its inauguration in 2018. Seeing it up close is truly breathtaking. I purchased my admission ticket online through Klook, and entry was very convenient—simply scan the QR code at the entrance for quick and hassle-free access. Cons is some area is under maintenance. Especially the instragrammable area with the statue between the cliffs.

Worth a visit, it's beautiful, tiring, and fulfilling. (But you'll probably only want to come once in your life.) Itinerary: Snorkeling in the morning, visiting popular photo spots in the afternoon (get off, quickly take pictures, and leave). We went to three snorkeling spots in the morning; there were no manta rays, but we saw sea turtles and plenty of fish, so it was decent. The afternoon spots were truly beautiful, but the roads were quite bad, and the driver loved to speed, which sometimes felt uncomfortable. (If you choose the snorkeling option, I highly recommend eating breakfast in the morning. If you're staying at a hotel, write to them to get a breakfast box. Swimming in the ocean is very strenuous, and your inner ear will have to contend with the dizziness from the waves. Lunch is very basic.) (If you get motion sickness, I suggest sitting in the front passenger seat.) Boat conditions: 1. The boat to and from the island: Not very shaky and moved steadily. With air conditioning, it was perfect for catching up on sleep. 2. The snorkeling boat: A small boat. It was fine when moving, but very shaky when stopped. Tour guide: You should try to stick close to the group, but from what I observed, the guide will always wait for you and count heads. Overall, it was good.

Our driver, Ode, was so warm and incredibly helpful. It rained on the way up the mountain, but thankfully it stopped right before dawn. The scenery was breathtaking, the sunrise was absolutely stunning, and we truly had an unforgettable journey!

I absolutely loved my snorkeling activity! Sabare, Fibri, Annik, and Kadek are amazing people! I highly recommend this activity; they are attentive, patient, and take the time to reassure you if needed. They give us all the time we need to take photos and have a great time. I thank them infinitely for this incredible morning that I will never forget! 😇😇😇😇

Towels, foot covers, and shower facilities are provided. There's lemon water available in the waiting area. The girl at the service desk was very enthusiastic and friendly, always checking if we needed help. The package we purchased also included access to an exclusive club for burgers and pasta, which was an excellent value and a fantastic experience. If I could, I'd give it 100 stars! 😍 The kids said driving was fun and exciting, and they were very satisfied. Thank you, coach!

The surfing instructors were incredibly kind and provided detailed guidance, which made it easy for first-time learners to feel at ease and enjoy themselves. They gave individual attention to each person, so we felt confident about the children's safety, and thanks to them, the kids successfully stood up and balanced on the waves. Everyone finished surfing safely without any injuries, and it was a truly fun and unforgettable experience for the children. I confidently recommend this to families trying surfing for the first time!
