Bali, Indonesia
Think Bali is all hammocks and sunsets?
Let’s shake things up. Bali’s beaches are great, but the island has a wild side you’re probably missing out on. Here are five lesser-known adventures to make your Bali trip unforgettable.
- Mount Batur Sunrise Trek: Start your day above the clouds. The 3 AM wake-up is worth every step for those sunrise views.
- Ubud Jungle Swing: It’s cheesy, it’s touristy — and it’s ridiculously fun. Fly over lush rice fields like a movie star.
- Sekumpul Waterfalls: Hidden in Bali’s north, these are hands-down the most epic falls on the island. Bring your walking shoes.
- Village Cooking Classes: Learn to make satay and sambal from Balinese grandmas. Tastes better when you’ve made it yourself.
- Ayung River Rafting: If you like a little splash with your scenery, this is for you. Jungle, rapids, adrenaline. Enough said.
So yeah — Bali isn’t just a beach destination. It’s an adventurer’s playground waiting to surprise you.
