There is plenty to do and experience in Bali: cycling, walking, cooking course or pampering yourself in one of the many spas. Upon arrival at Ngurah Rai Airport, if you have an international flight, you must first go through Immigration and Customs. Your driver and companion will be waiting for you outside.

This temple is built on a cliff to protect Bali from evil spirits. Due to its high location you have a beautiful view over the Indian Ocean.
