Apart from lazing on idyllic beaches, Bali offers plenty more to do on a summer holiday and these are some of the many activities you can take part in.
Surfing
Surfing enthusiasts have much to look forward to on their trip. Those based at properties like Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort have the advantage of being at the doorstep of one of the island’s most famous surfing hotspots, the Impossible Break. Pros can also head to Dreamland and Padang Padang for more challenges, while the nearby Odysseys Surf School is ideal for those looking to learn to ride the waves.
Sailing
The relatively calm seas and clear blue skies of summer provide the ideal setting for you to embark on an adventure out at sea as you sail to the horizon. For those based in Uluwatu, things to do include embarking on a journey on a luxury catamaran along the Badung Strait; you can also charter a vessel to reefs close by where you can enjoy snorkelling or plan a visit to enchanting Lembongan Island.
Scuba Diving
There’s much to discover beneath the waves too and the fact that this destination is home to some of the best dive sites on the planet adds to its allure. Many of them are located on the Bukit Peninsula’s eastern side and give you a chance to encounter diverse marine life such as mola mola, sea turtles and majestic manta rays. If you’re new to diving, don’t worry, you can find dive centres offering the needed certification and training.
Trekking Up Mount Batur
On dry land, there are more summer activities in Bali to enjoy with a special place going for a sunrise trek up Mount Batur which just happens to be an active volcano! The trek usually takes around two hours depending on one’s fitness level, so most begin their journey around 3:00am; you will be rewarded with the chance to witness a spellbinding sunrise over the mountain and the Batur caldera lake.
