Destination Fly4free: Bali
Here are the best things to do in Bali!
Bali is one of the most popular destinations in Indonesia, and there is a good reason why. It blends spectacular mountain scenery and stunning tropical beaches with warm and friendly people, a vibrant culture and fantastic, affordable resorts. Here’s a brief overview of the main areas worth exploring.
There’s never a bad time to visit Bali! It is climatically comfortable throughout the year, though you can expect certain levels of humidity. Dry season lasts from April until October. This is also the peak tourist season.
Relax in peaceful Menjangan Island, located in the heart of unspoiled West Bali National Park (Taman Nasional Bali Barat). With its spectacular coral reef, the island is a perfect place for diving and snorkelling. Seven world-class dive sites lie off the coast of Menjangan. You can explore the park on foot, horseback or mountain bike. This region has less rain then other parts of Bali, as it is sheltered by the mountains.
Pemuteran Bay is one of the best spots for diving and snorkelling in Bali. The sea is free of currents and offers a safe and exhilarating opportunity to explore the natural and artificial reef structures, where a couple of colourful fish have their habitats. Take a dive course and explore the Underwater Temple Garden (the deepest part is 30 m).
