The Trip Keeper
— Travel Like Family
Land at Denpasar, meet your driver, and head straight up to Ubud. Check in, then an easy evening: Campuhan ridge walk if you landed early, or just the pool.
The classic Central Bali loop: Bali Swing over the terraces, Tegenungan waterfall, the purification pools at Tirta Empul, a photoshoot stop at Sari Timbul, and the Tegallalang terraces from a vintage Volkswagen.
Handara's famous gate first (go early), then the floating temple at Ulun Danu Beratan and the Leke Leke waterfall tucked in the hills. Cooler air up here; bring a light layer.
Check out and head for Kuta. On the way: Tanjung Benoa for water sports, Melasti beach for the turquoise-cliff photos, and Uluwatu temple for sunset with the Kecak fire dance.
Fast boat to Penida for the west-coast circuit: Kelingking cliff, Angel's Billabong, Broken Bay and a swim at Crystal Bay. Rough roads, huge views. Back by evening.
Slow morning. A 60-minute couples Balinese massage in the afternoon, then the evening you will actually remember: a private candlelight dinner on a Kuta rooftop as the sun goes down.
Late breakfast, last walk on the beach, private transfer to the airport.
