Bali is a paradise for adventure seekers on a budget. This seven-day itinerary takes you from the cultural heart of Ubud -- with its rice terraces, monkey forests, and artisan workshops -- to the surf breaks of Canggu and the clifftop temples of Uluwatu. You will hike an active volcano at sunrise, snorkel coral reefs, and ride a motorbike through emerald-green valleys. All of this comes at a fraction of what you would spend in most tropical destinations, with world-class food available for under ten dollars a meal.

Local Tips

  • •Rent a motorbike for $5-7/day to explore freely, but always wear a helmet and carry your international driving permit.
  • •Carry small bills (IDR 10,000-50,000) for temple donations, parking fees, and warung meals.
  • •Cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples. Sarongs are usually provided at major temple entrances.
  • •Drink bottled or filtered water only. Avoid ice at street stalls unless they use filtered ice (typically cylindrical shaped).
  • •Negotiate taxi prices before getting in, or use the Grab app for transparent pricing.
  • •The best exchange rates are at authorized money changers in Kuta and Seminyak, not at the airport.
