Bali is not called the island of the gods and the island of the thousand temples for no reason. Here you can find one amazing temple after another. On a day trip through Bedugul, you’ll discover the island’s most famous temples like the Taman Ayun Royal Temple and the Ulundanu Lake Beratan Temple which is located in the stunning landscape within the Bedugul highlands on Lake Beratan. Another temple that should be on everyone's bucket list and you’ll visit is the Tanah Lot Temple. It is one of Bali’s most important landmarks with the most beautiful sunset backdrops and probably the highlight of this trip.
Explore Bali’s templesOne Day, Three Waterfalls
Bali is not only famous for their amazing surf spots but also for their stunning waterfalls. And Kima is gonna take you on a day trip to three of those:
1. The Kanto Lampo Waterfall
A scenic waterfall with a stunning view to behold when the water cascades down a stepped rock formation.
2. The Tibumana Waterfall
One of Bali’s hidden gems under the waterfalls. Rarely known by tourists and therefore relatively quiet, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and a cool breeze atmosphere here.
3. The Tukad Cepung Waterfall
After a trek of approximately 20 minutes, you’ll make it to one of the most photogenic of all waterfalls in Bali. Be enchanted by the 15m high waterfall hidden in a cave when the sunlight falls on the glistening waterfall creating a rainbow. Just magical.
Book a day you’ll remember!
