Bali is an island in the middle of Indonesia that has become very popular with tourists from all over the world. When people think of Bali they think about beautiful beaches, warm tropical waters, perfect sunsets and a relaxed stress-free life. However, Bali has become much more that. It has developed from an island known only to backpackers and surfers to an international visitor destination with an international airport, international brand stores and hotels for all budgets. There are now many luxury hotels and villas for wealthy tourists to escape the fast, stressful pace of life back home. Part of the attraction is the low price of goods and services. A Bali holiday, apart the flight to get there, is very affordable compared to other international tourist destinations. And the foreign exchange rate is very favourable for western tourists. Dining out in Bali is inexpensive and offers an array of international cuisine including the Balinese cuisine.
There are numerous restaurants and cafes both in hotels and along the streets for visitors to sample the local fare. Being an island, seafood is plentiful and inexpensive. So make the most of it. If you like Balinese food why not try your hand at a Balinese Cooking Class, which is an excellent way to experience Balinese culture while learning about the food and cooking style.
There are many activities designed for the visitor in mind. Don't miss the Bali Safari and Marine Park, Elephant Safari Park, Island Reef Cruise and visiting Balinese temples. One activity that Bali is famous for is the Balinese spa and massage treatment. It's a great way to treat yourself while on vacation and is available at most hotels and at massage stores along the streets. Hot springs are also in several locations around the Island. Air Panjar, a hot springs set among a lush garden, is along the northern coast of the island, near Lovina. Bali has some of the best surfing beaches in the region and in fact was a mecca for surfers before the tourist boom. Generally, the west side of the island has surf and swimmers need to swim between the flags to keep safe.
While the east side has beautiful white sand beaches with calmer waters more suitable for families. Learning to surf is a popular activity with visitors and there is no shortage of "surf schools" located at every beach. If you are even more adventurous why not take the opportunity to learn to snorkel or scuba dive. Bali has many great diving spots with clear, warm and safe waters for beginners. And if you like getting wet, white water rafting is also available.
One of the most popular and spectacular sightseeing tours is the Kintamani Volcano Tour. You are taken to the rural, cooler mountain region of Bali where you can hike to Lake Batur and see the amazing sight of the crater lake set in the vast volcano caldera. You can also hike to the summit of Mount Batur to watch the sun rise over this wonderful tropical paradise - the island of Bali.
