Your 5-day Bali itinerary

Land, drop your bags, and ease into Bali with something low-key nearby. Bali is bigger than it looks — base in two areas rather than day-tripping everywhere.
Day 2 · Tegalalang rice terraces at sunrise
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: water temple at ulun danu beratan.
Day 3 · Uluwatu clifftop temple & kecak dance
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: snorkel or dive around nusa penida.
Day 4 · Sunrise trek up Mount Batur
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: canggu café and surf day.
Day 5 · Last morning & departure
Squeeze in one more before you go — tegalalang rice terraces at sunrise if you have time — then head to the airport.
