Indonesia
Rice terraces, temples, volcanic seas
What a trip to Indonesia actually looks like.
Bali's Uluwatu cliffs, Ubud's terraces, and the Gili Islands' slow, barefoot pace of life. Most itineraries split time between Bali's cultural heartland and a slower island stretch further out.
Four places worth building the trip around.
The highlights our planners come back to most when they build an Indonesia itinerary.
Uluwatu Cliffs
A temple perched on the edge of the sea, with a Kecak fire dance staged against the sunset.
Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Ubud's stepped green paddies, best walked at sunrise before the day trippers arrive.
Gili Islands
No cars, no motorbikes — just bicycles, snorkelling reefs, and turquoise water in every direction.
Tanah Lot Temple
A sea temple set on a rock outcrop, wrapped in tide pools and framed by a Bali sunset.
A seven-day route through Bali and the Gilis.
Arrive in Bali
Check in around Seminyak or Canggu, easing in with a beach sunset and a first Balinese meal.
Uluwatu
The clifftop temple by day, then the Kecak fire dance at dusk overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Move to Ubud
Sunrise at the Tegallalang rice terraces, followed by an afternoon at the Sacred Monkey Forest.
Temples & villages
Tanah Lot at sunset via a route through Bali's inland craft villages.
Cross to the Gilis
A fast boat out to Gili Trawangan, with the rest of the day left free for the beach.
Island time
Snorkelling over the reef, a bicycle loop of the island, and a barefoot dinner on the sand.
Departure
Boat back to Bali for a final morning near the airport before your onward flight.
