Bali & Nusa Penida

Ubud's terraces, a temple on a cliff, and the boat to Penida.

Length6 days / 5 nights
Group2–12 travellers
Best monthsApr – Oct
RegionBali & the Nusa Islands

Six days split between the interior and the coast, with a day out to Nusa Penida for the coastline everyone has seen and few have stood on. We keep Ubud first — the traffic is easier and the jet lag is more forgiving inland.

What you'll remember

  • Tegalalang rice terraces before the tour buses
  • Uluwatu at sunset with the kecak dance afterwards
  • Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida
  • A Balinese cooking class in a family compound

When to go

Bali's dry season is April to October. January and February are the wettest, and the Penida crossing gets cancelled in big swell — we build a spare day into those months.
