The Ultimate Sidemen Travel Guide, The Authentic Bali

Tukad Cepung Waterfall

This is one of the must-see waterfalls in Bali!

Tukad Cepung is unique in that it’s hidden in a cave, where rays of sunlight shine through the top making it one of the more photogenic waterfalls on the island.

There’s a well-maintained trail making it fairly easy to get to, but because of this, it can be quite crowded at times. I’d recommend getting there before 9 am when it will be less busy!

Visit Virgin Beach

There are a few different names for this beach including Virgin Beach, White-sand beach, or Pantai Persasi, but all 3 of them will take you to this slice of heaven!

Here you will find a slower, more laid-back version of Bali, a beach without crowds that has crystal clear waters.

It’s the perfect place for those in search of peace as it’s tucked away in a bay, surrounded by coconut-filled

Backpacking Challenge Plan for Summer

My holiday plan for Summer is finally ready! Before I had made up my mind though, I spent hours and hours trying to decide where I wanted to go and what places I should discover this Summer, and believe me, it wasn’t an easy decision :-). I had so many ideas of what I want to do and where I want to go for my first backpacking trip. Apart from traveling around different provinces in China, this is going to be my very first backpacking adventure where I need to pack lite and travel with my two backpacks around different, in this case, countries till I finally get back home, and by home I mean my home country, not China. At first, I was thinking of Bali Island (Indonesia) but I’ve heard it’s overcrowded with tourists so I gave up this idea. Then I wanted to visit South-East Asia countries:

Where To Stay In Nusa Penida (Everything You Need To Know)

The price for a single trip can vary between US$20 and US$40 per person (280,000 to 550,000 IDR) – depending on the company.

Buying a round-trip ticket can be significantly cheaper, so plan your stay, and if not sure, pay some extra to get the option to change the return date purchasing an open ticket.

Generally, Sanur is the most convenient port because it is within easy reach from Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu, and the airport. Boats are departing in the morning, as well as in the afternoon.

Although, leaving from Padang Bai can be better for those staying in the East of Bali, such as Candidasa, Sidemen, Amed.

If you like to travel like the locals (and for a cheaper rate!), you can catch the public ferry departing from Padang Bai. The ticket is around 30,000 IDR (US$2). The catch? It can take up to 1h30 and might not be

The Ultimate Travel Guide To Lovina Beach

Before we go into all the details as to why, the short answer is Yes, Lovina Beach is absolutely a must-visit place when in Bali.

What makes it even more amazing is that it truly has something for everyone. Families, solo travellers as well as yogis and nature lovers – we are convinced that anyone will fall in love with this place.

Although Lovina has become a more popular destination with travellers over the years, a lot of people don’t make it to this side of the island, which is a real shame.

It is a lot less hectic than Canggu, Uluwatu or even Ubud and the cultural traditions of Bali are still very present here. You get to enjoy the culture to the fullest and get a sense of the old Bali, pre-mass tourism.

Even though it might be calmer, there is no shortage of fun things to do

How Much Does a Honeymoon in Bali Cost?

When it comes to planning a honeymoon in Bali, prices can range a lot. The average Bali honeymoon hotel will cost somewhere between USD 75-250 a night, while the more luxurious resorts can range anywhere between USD 350-750+ for a night.

Apart from accommodation, you’ll have to account for flight prices and the activities you plan to do on the island as well. I recommend checking your flight options on Skyscanner.

Some activities you might be interested in as newlyweds would be a cooking class, which typically costs around USD 35 per person, or a luxury couple massage which can range anywhere from USD 50-150.

You can also hire a private driver for the day for around USD 40, which will allow you to easily get around and explore the area.

Bali is such a great destination because it caters to
