Top 5 things to do in Bali
This luscious island is dotted with beaches and lined with palm trees, and has a distinct spiritual vibe. There's a host of activities in Bali, so where to start? Here, we round up the 5 best things to do on the island - apart from basking in the sun, of course.
Dancing Fingers School

session at one of Bali's celebrated massage spas. Held every

Bali Hai Reef Cruise
Bali Hai Island Reef Cruise offers activities - above and below the
water. The luxury Bali Hai II catamaran is moored alongside a
purpose-built pontoon in Lembongan Bay. Marvel at the island's
exotic marine life and colourful corals from the comfort of a
semi-submersible coral viewer. Try snorkelling for a closer look,
or enjoy a host of other activities: banana boat rides, a cultural
tour of the island, or the exciting 35-meter waterslide. Please
check with your local concierge for bookings.
Departs at 9.15am - Returns at 4:15pm
Sport Fishing
For something different, try your hand at sport fishing while
cruising to Waka Nusa on Lembongan Island. There's an on-board fish
master who can catch a big one for your barbecue, if you're not
feeling up to the task. Dive off the boat at Lembongan Island
before tucking into your feast back in the island. Speak to your
local concierge to arrange.
