Bali is a tropical paradise with idyllic beaches, lush hillsides, and plenty of exciting activities, all of which are included in this fun two-week itinerary on and near the Island of the Gods.
Hike through rice terraces, spend your days at white-sand beaches, and swim with green sea turtles on this epic trip through Bali and its neighboring islands, a great mixture of relaxation and fascinating things to do — a little bit of everything.
This is where you will go:
- Canggu: 2 days
- Nusa Lembongan: 2 days
- Nusa Penida: 1 day
- Gili Islands: 3 days
- Ubud: 3 days
- Uluwatu: 3 days
Canggu: 2 days
Start your Bali trip off in Canggu, which is located around 1.5 hours by car from Bali’s airport. It’s a great place to start off your time in Bali, because you’ve got a great selection of places to eat and good nightlife. It’s also the starting point for many organized group tours.

Even a short drive that should normally be 10 minutes can take up to an hour or more in Canggu traffic. Try to avoid the Shortcut and Jalan Raya Canggu, which are some of the busiest streets in the area.
On your first day, you can focus on relaxing and exploring if you’re up for it. Head to Old Man’s or La Brisa at the beach for a sunset drink, then grab dinner at one of the many restaurants in town.
Head to Sa’Mesa, a once-in-a-lifetime Italian dinner experience in which you’ll dance on the tables all night. Then it’s off to Buongiorno, the best bakery in town, to get some fresh pastries and sandwiches for your hangover. Other great restaurants include Mason, Shelter, or for local cuisine, Casa Tua
On your second day, hop into a Grab (a local app that works just like Uber), or rent a scooter to go visit Tanah Lot Temple, around 30 minutes north of Canggu.
(A lot of tourists get around by scooter in Bali, but think carefully before you decide to rent one. The traffic is chaotic and accidents are common, so only experienced drivers should choose this transport method. Always wear a helmet and go slow if you do ride a scooter. When in doubt, a taxi…
