Trip date: 7 - 16 July '17
Amazing trip to Bali organized by Traveltoogle. Special thanks to Shivani for answering all my queries patiently. She was also kind to share experiences of other travelers of a place, which helped us a lot for finalizing the tour plan. While planning, I was skeptical about a hotel they had suggested. When I discussed this with her, she said not to worry and suggested us to take that hotel. On reaching we realized, it was a very beautiful place to stay. She even helped resolve our queries over WhatsApp, while we were in Bali. Once again thank you very much to Traveltoogle and Shivani for organizing this wonderful trip.
This may be a little long, so please bear with me.
Lembonghan - Very very beautiful place. Clear Blue water and white sand. Amazing lunch at Bali Hai II. Suggestions- do take the sea sickness tablets provided at the beginning. Although we didn't, most of the people vomited on the way to the island and back. The current here is a little strong. So go for scuba only if you're a very good swimmer. For newbies, sea walk (Aquanauts, as it's called there) should be doable and safe too.
Bali Safari- a different experience. Must go for people who love wildlife, but don't want to go through the pain of going to an actual safari.
Mount Batur Trek- Beautiful view, but go only if you're used to trekking. I returned midway. A Spanish couple we meet there, also went only halfway.
Ayung river rafting- must go for beginners (rapids very easy) and experienced (very very beautiful view)
Bali bird park - Must go if you like birds and want to experience close encounters. If you're carrying a camera with lens, more than 100mm should be good enough.
DMZ 3D museum - 1.5-2 hours were super fun. Don't forget your camera.
Tanah Lot- breathtaking view. Shouldn't be missed.
Royal family temple - Good. Nothing out of the world. Been there, done that kind of a place.
Nusa Dua: probably an upmarket area of Bali. Can be explored on foot/ bicycle too. Ask your driver to drive through the bridge from Nusa Dua to Jimbaran. Beautiful blue water on both sides.
Stay:
Swiss Belhotel - Good. Take a pool facing room. Nice breakfast.
Grand Whiz - Nice hotel. Located at the upmarket Nusa Dua. We loved it a lot. Very very good breakfast with lots of options.
Ini Vie villa - no doubt one of the best honeymoon villas in Bali. Everything non complimentary is very costly. So we used to eat outside. They have microwave and induction cooktop, in case you feel like cooking there. Jacuzzi was super relaxing.
Other random tip: Luwak coffee, the famous one of Bali. Tastes like highly roasted (almost burnt) coffee. Do try Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng.
