Fly to Bali and enjoy your holiday
Bali may be small in size – you can drive around the entire coast in one long day – but its prominence as a destination is huge, and rightfully so. Ask travellers what Bali means to them and you’ll get as many answers as there are flowers on a frangipani tree. Virescent rice terraces, pulse-pounding surf, enchanting temple ceremonies, mesmerising dance performances and ribbons of beaches are just some of the images people cherish.
Lodging in Bali ranges from small bungalows to huge fancy hotels, all with basic accommodations to meet the requirements of tourists. The scene from your hotel will be wonderful as a result of the rich beauty of the area regardless of where you choose to stay.
The people of Bali are very artistic. They enjoy painting, weaving, carving, basket making, and various arts. Children are taught art from a really early age. They often times display their makings to trade to the tourists.
You can experience Bali on many different excursions and guided tours by coach, private car or “Big Bike”, by boat or by air plane: seeing Bali’s beaches and rice terraces, the famous Besakih Temple on the slopes of holy Mount Agung, Lake Batur and it’s active volcano, Ubud, Legian, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and the temples of Tanah Lot and Ulu Watu from a helicopter is a really special experience. For helicopter tours and private charters (3 to 6 passengers) please contact the Balivillas.com Service Center at 703-060 as soon as you arrive.
Most full day tours by car (about 8 to 10 hours, min 2 persons) cost about US$45 to US$50 per person, half day tours US$30 to US$35. These prices include a multi-lingual guide and transport in an air-conditioned private car, all entrance fees, but no meals. Which guide and driver you choose can make or break your day: be warned that those who offer very low prices tend to waste your time by showing you hardly any more than those shops which pay them a commission on your purchases.
There are more than 400 volcanoes in Indonesia, 128 are still active. They offer a historical view of this natural creation to observe. Botanic Gardens are likewise an increasingly popular attraction. Displaying natural world as well as promoting conservation, people are drawn to the beauty of such attractions.
While Indonesia is an attractive and serene place to visit, it is strongly advised at the present to be cautious with such visits because of the possibility of terrorist attacks. If you do choose to travel to the area do not travel alone and make sure you have joined the US Embassy.
