1. Padar Island
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,193 reviews
Reviewed By SusanW4197 - Kiama, Australia
To get there it is boat ride from Labuan Bajo - day trip possible but most go for a few days. Most boats aim to get to Padar for sunrise or sunset so it's busy. Ours arrived early and it was still hot so we climbed to summit earlier than most and then went down and climbed the other summit - which is a very narrow slippery treacherous track (which guides discourage) But, we did it discretely and were alone on this summit for sunset and avoided crowds at the top. Generally hot in middle of day and climbing summit would be very hard - so avoid unless cooler.

3. Bali Bird Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,312 reviews
Enjoy walking around and get along with a thousand birds and its habitat. The Park is divided into seven regions that recreate the natural habitats of our birds, complete with indigenous plant life. You can travel from the deep misty jungle of Sumatra to Far East Indonesia and Papua to discover the native birds from these remote regions. Venture to other tropical continents too. See the South American exotics such as the Golden Macaw and the Congo Grey Parrot from the African Savannah. Enter into their real living environment and see how they play with their colony, how they breed, and feel their happiness. You'll love them. Be entertained with our various bird shows and feeding activities and also many special programs made only for you. Take photos from lots of incredible scenes and taste the richness of local Balinese culinary and international cuisine from our fantastic menus in the restaurant.

This was our fourth family visit. The park continues to make incremental improvements and is great for all generations of the family. It has always offered a great day out with well managed and accessible natural exhibits set in a pleasing park like environment - many of the birds are kept in the open or in bigger aviaries ( though some are kept in smaller cupboard cages, which seem to be being phased out). The birds come from a wide background including SE Asia, South America, and South Africa. There are specific areas for, and more focus on, Sumatra, Borneo, Papua, Java and of course Bali. There is a Komodo Dragon exhibit as well. The bird shows and feeding sessions are not gimmicky or exploitative and the staff seem genuinely interested in, and caring for, the birds there. There is a very good cafe onsite which is offers snacks and lunch ( Balinese and international food). Best suggested time to visit is mid morning to avoid the worst of the traffic, catch the shows and then have a later lunch and drinks when it gets hotter.

5. Ijen Crater
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By TheHumbleTravellers - Greater Noida, India
This place may look like a nightmare of your badest dreams but is so amazingly beautiful, surprising and adventurous. People visit here for 2 reasons a) To reach summit and stay there to watch beautiful turquoise lake and if lucky some views of blue fire b) To reach summit and then go down the crater to have chance of lifetime to see blue fire and sulphur miners doing manual mining We gathered all our courage to go down the crater as well. Now this trekking starts late night as blue fire is not visible once sun comes out so we need to go down crater before sunlight comes out. Going up the summit of Ijen requires decent stamina but not very challenging. Challenging part starts when you to move down the crater in almost zero light and only torch or mobile light visible. Its one of the most adventurous hiking done by me. During going down, you will encounter sulphur miners who manually gather sulphur and hangit on there shoulder to the top (almost 70 kg in one round) and they do it 2-3 times in a day, it so damn amazing as we only in one round were totally out. Reaching bottom is like reaching surface of moon, completely different environment with deadly gases around (masks are suggested to be safe from carbon di oxide), unique surrounding with sulphur coming out of mountains and then you see the most amazing thing - BLUE FIRE, its so beautiful For hikers/nature lovers - its a must visit. Its ones in a lifetime experience Special thanks to our tour guide who ensured we experience everything and safely too.
6. Merapi Volcano
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,232 reviews
Reviewed By pondheron - Mumbai, India
We took the 90 minute mini Jeep Tour to Merapi - a little apprehensive about the rainclouds that obscured the sky through most of the day. The brightly coloured old red Jeep with a young man at the wheel bumped across the route - which was mostly paved , slowed by oncoming truck traffic carrying volcanic ash away for construction. We stopped at a village which had been damaged by the lava in the 2010 eruption - preserved complete with skeletons of cattle, burnt motorcycles and home appliances, a volcanic rock that was shaped like a face and appropriately called The Alien, and finally at the last lookout point 4.5 kms from the imposing volcano. The rain clouds cleared after a drizzle and the volcano was clearly visible - smoking ominously. An eerie and imposing sight on a dull drizzly day. The route is dusty so make sure you use the dust cover or take care especially if you are asthmatic or allergic. A very enjoyable drive with a fascinating view. Well worth the price of ₹1750 (Rp 350000) for 2.
7. Tirta Gangga
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,236 reviews
The former royal palace of Tirtagangga (which means water of the Ganges, Hinduism's holy river) features tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into bathing pools. Just outside the palace grounds, the views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali are stunning.

One of our day trips to this beautiful place, lovely gardens to walk around with family or as a couple, A lot of history in the place and you would need a good couple of hours to go round the gardens, there is a restaurant on the premises and not badly priced and good food, take a bottle of cold water with you as it does get hot walking around, Would I go back? YES and I would recommend it

Beautiful volcanic mountain in Bali island. I was almost trekking up to the peak but due to the weather we had to cancel and wait for 1 day. The next day we climbed up and it was worth of wait.
9. Sekumpul Waterfalls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,330 reviews
Sekumpul Waterfall is touted as the most beautiful waterfall in Bali. It is fairly close to Niagara Falls Lemukih, only about 2 km away. Understandably, the Village and Village Lemukih Sekumpul indeed neighbors. To see Sekumpul Waterfall close, it takes a bit of effort and struggle. From the parking lot, you have to walk quite far away, down a dirt road, down the hundreds of stairs, and across the river. When you ride a motorcycle, you can still ride from the parking lot (near the ticket window), to the end of the road paving. After paving the way out, the road turned into a narrow dirt road (footpath). Not long down the path, you arrived at a blank bale (gazebo) with Niagara Falls Sekumpul incredible lure.

Tanjung Aan Beach is a few kilometers along the coast from Kuta. It is an isolated, scenic stretch of coast with small islands, reefs and a combination of rocky coastline and beaches. Local warungs offer a wide range of meals and ice cold drinks at budget prices and give the area "atmosphere". The beach is well looked after by locals. Highly recommended, visit and enjoy !
