Indonesia and Bali
Indonesia is composed of over 17,500 islands, of which
only about 6,000 are inhabited. The islands stretching
for 5,150 km between the Australian and Asian continental
mainlands and dividing the Pacific and Indian Oceans
at the Equator.
Bali is well known for its stunning scenery, lovely
beaches, excellent restuarants and warm friendly people.
We suggest that you incorporate the following interesting
activities in your Bali holiday.
Bali Cooking School (5 days/4
nights)
Imagine learning the secrets of Balinese cooking
in an idlylic Balinese village surrounded by terraced
rice padi fields with water buffalo at work and children
at play. The Mangus Resort is the former home of our
tour operator and boasts a pool, outdoor living and
tastefully refurbished guest rooms each with ensuite.
Mornings are spent learning the culinary arts whilst
afternoons are free to explore the beautiful countryside
on mountain bikes that are for hire. Lovina Beach
is just 10 minutes away by car. This tour is excellent
value when compared with other cooking schools where
you normally pay an additional cost over and above
the price of the deluxe hotel accommodation.
Bali Countryside Tour (6 days/4
nights)
See the scenic highlights which lay outside the
major tourist areas. You will discover the north coast
and enroute see terraced rice fields, coffee and clove
plantations. Spend 2 nights at the award winning Puri
Bagus Lovina. From there you will make a day trip
to Bali Barat National Park, home to the protected
Bali starling and the Menjangan Islands. You will
also visit Kintamani, the Mother Temple, view the
still active Batur Volcano and visit the still traditional
walled village of Tenganan home of the original Balinese.
You will stay overnight at Puri Bagus Candidasa and
trek 2.5 hours down to Mangiss Village.
4WD Drive Exploration (6 days/5
nights)
travel with a local Balinese driver/guide who
will be delighted to show you the secrets of his beloved
Bali. The tour includes the spectacular rice terraces,
Bagus Jati Spa Villas and botanical garden. Visit
the Taro village and Elephant and White Cows Park,
then see traditionally worked plantations, huge bamboo
forests and spend 2 nights at Puri Bagus Villa in
the heart of delightful Manggis village. Visit Padagai
Beach and walk to nearby untouched villages. Travel
