What Else In Bali

Bali Zoo

Bali Zoo is home to various tropical plants and an extensive collection of fauna ranging from mammals, birds and reptiles. The zoo is shady and pleasant to walk through and also features a range of experiences, such as elephant and pony rides, photo sessions with animals, as well as outbound adventures.

Bali Bird Park

Bali Bird Park features a special 'Hatchling Area' to show visitors several specimens in their early stages since hatching, their juvenile stages, and in their mature phases. The park's successful breeding programs include rare parrots and the team houses and breeds over 40 protected species in the park.

A '4D Avian Theatre' experience is a new and exciting feature for families at the bird park, showing the animation feature 'Rilly's Sky Adventure'. The film tells of a group of migrating ducks and the heart-warming but perilous quest of young Rilly the duck as he embarks with his family on his first migration south for the winter.

You would be tempted to think that the birds in the trees and on the artificial perches could just easily fly away - but they simply don't. And there are no nets visible in the open sky above the park grounds. Majestic peacocks roam in and around the open lawns, colourful toucans and parrots welcome you to play with them from branches – all ready for different poses and photo opportunities.

Kuta

Long famous for its golden white coastline that curves north from the Ngurah Rai International Airport's runway in Tuban, continues to attract visitors with highlights other than the favourite surfing coast itself. Kuta offers a handful of other interesting sights worth finding out. Here are among the few not to miss out on while in Kuta.

finding out. Here are among the few not to miss out on while in Kuta. For some splashing fun that's away from Kuta's waves, a hop from the beach and across the road from the Discovery Shopping Mall is Waterbom Bali, the best and long-running water park on the island. Another great place like no other in all of Indonesia is the Bali Shell Museum. Some cultural highlights such as village temples, a Barong show and a significant Buddhist temple in the heart of Kuta are also worth a visit. And back on the coast beside the lifeguard tower is the sea turtle conservation site where the tourists can learn about the exciting community efforts in protecting the endangered species. And The Ground Zero Monument which built as a permanent site and tribute to the fallen victims of the bombing tragedy in 2002, is worth to visit.

Museum Pasifika

Museum Pasifika presents an Asia-Pacific melting pot of culture with works from more than 200 artists from 25 countries, 350 paintings, and 250 historical objects. Museum Pasifika is not only a great international tourist attraction; but also a social and educational centre for both schoolchildren and artists.

Museum Pasifika organizes regular educational events, such as inviting groups of schoolchildren to explore the collections as well as fun art activities. The museum also regularly plays host to special exhibitions, new art item acquisitions and book launches.

The museum was awarded by Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy for its efforts in promoting Indonesian art, culture and heritage.

Sanur Beach

Sanur Beach is one of the first resort areas in Bali to see the influx of tourism which Bali has experienced over the past half century. Despite this, it remains rich in history and retains much of its laidback ambience from its earlier days, attracting a different type of crowd compared to the livelier scenes you will find in Kuta and Legian. Sanur features several small connected beaches that are all quiet, with a pleasant paved path where locals and expats enjoy morning jogs against the rising sun.

The coastline is shared by some of the island's earliest pioneering hotels and boutique resorts. Sites to see in Sanur include its collection of historical landmarks, such as the Le Mayeur Museum located right beside the beach art market, and the ancient and mysterious Blanjong inscription, well hidden behind the modern traffic and lines of restaurants and cafes. Bali Seawalker, Bali Sharks, Turtle Conversation and Education Centre, Orchid Garden, Kites Festival, Bali Ghost Town and Griya Santrian are available in Sanur.

Tanah Lot

The temple of Tanah Lot stands on a rocky island just off the southwest coast of Bali. One of Bali's most sacred sea temples, Tanah Lot is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea. The temple itself is said to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes that inhabit the caves below.

The temple itself is not accessible to visitors, but magnificent views can be had from a variety of points nearby. Crowds especially gather on the terraces nearby to watch the glow of the sunset behind the temple. Naturally, there are plenty of souvenir shops and cafes with a view to keep you well-supplied while doing so.

Ubud

Ubud, near Bali's cool central upland, is a treasure trove of cultural landmarks, ranging from ancient temples and majestic age-old royal palaces, to wonderful panoramas of green hillsides and rice terraces. The town and its outskirts within the Gianyar regency, is your holiday destination if you are also into the Balinese culture, arts and crafts, as it was where some of the world's notable artisans and collectors have visited, lived and worked, creating or compiling eclectic masterpieces that you can observe in local museums and art galleries.

While most of the museums and galleries are along the main Jalan Raya Ubud thoroughfare, some kilometres away from the centre are other worthy attractions to see and spend a whole day at, such as the Bali Safari & Marine Park, the Setia Darma House of Masks and Puppets, the Bali Zoo, Elephant Cave, Campuhan Ridge Walk, Blanco Renaissance Museum, and Ubud Monkey Forest.
