Itinerary
Your private tour starts with a visit to the Blahbatuh village, renowned for its craftsmanship. See artisans at work as they make the musical instruments used in a gamelan, an Indonesian percussion orchestra commonly featured in religious and other special events.
Next, travel back in time with a visit to an archaeological museum, where you’ll see funeral relics belonging to the royal family. Dive into Bali’s ancient past while browsing artifacts from the Bronze Age and Stone Age, and gain insight to the island’s more recent history, from Indian traders to Dutch settlers.
In the cool mountains of Kintamani, take in the views of Mt Batur. Black lava runs from the peak of this active volcano to the valley floor, where the shimmering Lake Batur — Bali’s widest lake — lies at its base. Stop here for a delicious lunch (own expense), served in a local restaurant offering an Indonesian buffet and magnificent vistas. Marvel at the crescent-shaped lake, surrounded by the steep walls of the crater rim where the original Mt Batur erupted tens of thousands of years ago.
After lunch, make your way to the traditional village of Penglipuran. Wander with your guide through a bamboo plantation, and learn about the ancient beliefs and unique customs the locals maintain.
Finally, head to Bukit Jati, located in Gianyar, where you’ll partake in afternoon tea and coffee, served as you enjoy views of the rice fields and the blue sea beyond.

About Jimbaran
Jimbaran is a bay-side fishing village on Bali's southern peninsula, known for sunset seafood grills on the sand and quiet beaches near the airport.
Jimbaran sits on the narrow neck of land joining Bali's southern Bukit peninsula to the rest of the island, close to the airport. A long beach curves round the bay facing the Indian Ocean, with fishing boats pulled up on the sand at the northern end, near Kedonganan's fish market, and a gentle sea in the dry season.
