What to expect
Your guide collects you at 8:15 am for a steady progression through Bali's cultural and natural sites. Morning performances showcase traditional dance before you browse working artisan villages where craftspeople shape gold, silver and timber. The mid-point shift to elevation brings you to Kintamani, where Mount Batur dominates the landscape. Lunch here lets you absorb the volcanic vista and the still waters of Batur Lake below. Afternoon moves at a gentler pace through coffee plantations and the famous stepped rice fields, where the landscape becomes your focal point rather than crowds.
Good to know
