Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
On the Way to Pemuteran
This morning, you discover the Tanah Lot Temple, which means "Land of the Sea" in Balinese. It stands on an islet battered by ocean waves, and is a place of pilgrimage highly prized by tourists and photographers. The Tanah Lot temple was built in the 16th century on the advice of the famous Javanese priest Danghyang Nirartha to pay homage to the guardian spirits of the sea.
Note: This famous temple is much less visited in the early hours of the day.
Then, you head towards Pemuteran, a small seaside resort located on the northwest coast of Bali, far from tourist crowds.
The rest of the day is free.
Snorkeling at Menjangan
Today you will discover the seabed around Menjangan Island, a true snorkeling paradise... Equipped with your mask, snorkel and fins, you will swim for nearly 4 hours above the corals and among the many colorful fish. This site is a real natural aquarium, with boxfish, clownfish, starfish, groupers... and corals: the underwater biodiversity is one of the richest in Bali.
Lunch on the boat.
Return to the hotel in early afternoon. The rest of the day is free.
Towards Lovina
After breakfast, departure for Banjar, the most famous hot springs on the island where you will have the opportunity to bathe.
Then Brahma Vihara, the only Buddhist temple on all of Bali. It is located in the heart of nature at the top of a hill overlooking the valley and the sea behind the rice fields.
Finally, you reach Lovina, your destination for the day.
Towards Amed
Lovina Beach → Amed
This morning you head to the Sekumpul waterfalls considered the most beautiful in Bali.
Accompanied by a local guide, you take a walk through the forest before discovering these impressive waterfalls (approximately 3 hours of walking).
Continue your day in Sangsit to visit the Beiji Temple dating from the 16th century. This temple in the north of the island presents a true difference from the Temples of the South, with more symmetry, ornamentation and Chinese influences.
You arrive at your beachfront hotel in the afternoon.
Snorkeling at Amed
After breakfast, departure for a day of snorkeling in Amed. The seabed in Amed is surprising! Just a few meters from the beach we can see different corals appearing in clear water as well as numerous parrotfish, moray eels, boxfish and many other residents of this enchanting place.
Lunch on the boat.
Your second snorkeling session of the day is located a few minutes away: it is the wreck of an old Japanese boat.
The rest of the day is free.
Between Temples and Beaches
Visit to the Tirtagangga Royal Baths (whose exact translation is "The waters of the Ganges"), on the southeast slopes of Agung. Officially known as Tirta Ayu, this complex of freshwater pools was one of many aquatic palaces built by a king of Karangasem.
Tirtagangga → Pasir Timbul
Continuation of the day on Pasir Putih beach, one of the most beautiful on the island. 400 meters of white sand beach, azure blue water, a row of palm trees... An idyllic setting that earned it the nickname "Virgin Beach" and even "Hidden Beach"
Pasir Timbul → Candidasa
In the afternoon, drive and check-in at the hotel in Candidasa.
On the way to Sanur
This morning you will visit the Temple of Besakih. Located on the misty slopes of Mount Agung at 1000 meters altitude, it is the most important temple on the island comprising a religious complex of 22 separate temples, spread over seven terraces.
Between its "meru" roofs with 11 stories, the quasi-constant religious ceremonies and its viewpoint "between sea and mountains": this temple is surely one of the most spiritual. It is also the oldest and most venerated temple in Bali.
Continue to the cave of the Temple of Goa Lawah, founded in 1007 by Empu Kuteran, it has the reputation of bringing good luck. It is one of the nine directional temples of Bali (called "kayangan jagat") that protect the island against evil spirits. The main attraction is the bat colony and the legends associated with it.
You finally continue your journey to Sanur where you arrive in the afternoon. Check-in at the hotel and free evening.
Heading to Lembongan Island
This morning, a car from the speedboat company picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Sanur port. You then board the boat heading to Nusa Lembongan.
Boat ride in a pirogue
Swim with the manta rays
It's for an exceptional snorkeling session that you wake up this morning. Today you're heading off to meet the majestic manta rays. These rays come every morning, along the cliffs of Nusa Penida, to search for their daily plankton.
The rest of the day is free. Then you have a second snorkeling session at Crystal Bay. This site is a true aquarium of a thousand colors. The corals are rich and the fish are plentiful. It's also a privileged spot for observing sunfish, every year from July to September.
Return to your hotel in the afternoon.

You are boarding the boat today for your return to Sanur.
