Private tour with your own English-speaking guide · 6 days / 5 nights · Kuta/Legian – Celuk – Kintamani – Tegallalang – Taman Ayun – Bedugul – Tanah Lot – Tanjung Benoa – Uluwatu – Jimbaran – Sanur – Nusa Penida

This Bali and Nusa Penida private tour gives you the island's greatest hits from a single base near the beach in Kuta or Legian. A private car and English-speaking driver-guide take you up to the volcano at Kintamani, through the rice terraces of Tegallalang and into the cool lake country of Bedugul, with most lunches and dinners included.

Along the way you watch a Barong dance, the island's best-known folk drama, visit the craft villages of Celuk and Mas, and stand at Tanah Lot and Uluwatu, two sea temples set on rock above the waves. One morning is for fun on the water at Tanjung Benoa, and that evening ends with grilled seafood on the sand at Jimbaran.

The fifth day is the big one: an early boat from Sanur to Nusa Penida for Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong, Kelingking Cliff and Crystal Bay, before sailing back for dinner.

Who this trip suits

Moderate. Touring days are full, typically eight to ten hours with drives of one to two hours between sights. The Nusa Penida day starts at 6 am and includes boat crossings of about an hour each way and bumpy island roads; the path down Kelingking Cliff is steep, so many travelers enjoy the view from the top. Good for active families with children over 10 and couples.

Where you stay

Five nights at one 4-star hotel near the beach, such as Fairfield by Marriott Bali Legian (Deluxe room) or similar. Other 4-star options in Kuta are possible on request.

Best time to go

April to October is Bali's dry season, with sunny days and the calmest seas for the Nusa Penida crossing. July, August and the Christmas–New Year period are the busiest. From November to March expect short tropical downpours, usually in the afternoon; boat trips can be rescheduled if the sea is rough.

Your guide, your language

Your guide and driver are yours alone for the whole trip, so the pace, the stops and the start time each morning follow you. The standard version has an English-speaking guide; guides who speak French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese or Vietnamese can be arranged on request.
