What to do and see in Bali, Indonesia: The Best Nature & Parks

September 1, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

Bali Bird Park

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.

The top of the volcano is a fantastic place to see the sun rise well worth the hike ???? A organised trip from the hotel with transportation and a very reliable guide well worth the the trip

Tirta Gangga

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

Telaga Waja River

Telaga waja river is the most challenging river in Bali. Telaga waja river rafting is located in Muncan village, Karangasem, which can be reach by any transportation

Reviewed By sienna_australia - Melbourne, Australia

We had 4 adults and two teenage boys who all loved the rafting experience. We booked at a stand in Legian near the Bintang supermarket for $30AUD each which included two way transfers from our villa, 3 hours of rafting and lunch at the end. The river is beautiful and the rapids were great fun. Not too dangerous but still exciting and the drop over the dam wall is awesome. You get to stop at a waterfall to take pictures and have a drink too. Lunch afterwards is nothing special, just a buffet with rice and noodles and a bit of chicken. Still good to eat after a long time on the river. The only down fall for me was the 2 hours drive to get there.

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.

Sekumpul Waterfalls

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.

Karma Beach Bali

Reviewed By barrybF4631GL - Dallas, United States

I found this place on Instagram and I knew I had to go. Since I was visiting Bali solo, I figured this would be a nice, chill place to relax for the day. It was fabulous. The views from the top of the hill are breathtaking. The turquoise and blue waters are far different than the beaches of Seminyak where I had been saying. I took the lift down to the beach and was promptly greeted. While I hadn’t reserved a cabana chair, I was quickly shown to an open one. The waitstaff was great. The food was delicious (I had sushi). The water, while cold, was gorgeous; super clear and full of sea life. Will definitely return next time I come to Bali.

Blue Point Beach

The beauty of the beaches in Bali called Blue Point, Distance from Kuta beach is about 45 minutes, by passing through the winding roads and up and down. Location Blue Point is still a one-way to the temple of Uluwatu, Padang-padang beach, and Dreamland. This beach is situated in the village of Pecatu, namely at the southern tip of the Badung regency. Actually the original name of this beach is Suluban. Near the beach there is a hotel called Bluepoint Villas, so Suluban better known as Bluepoint. The hotel is quite well known outside of Bali and was used for shooting advertising a brand drinks, starring Miss Universe. 'Suluban' adoption of the word 'mesulub' which in Balinese language means "in bali have to stoop to walk through a gap in the cliff". This may be because the road to this beach you must go down through a narrow road between the coastal cliffs.

Blue Point - also known as Bat Cave locally is one of the beautiful beaches in Bali where you can find waves gushing through the cave like gorgeous limestone formations.. You need to hike down quite a bit of stairs, be careful as they are sandy and slippery sometimes.. You will find a Delpi Cafe (if I remember the name correctly) above the caves to relax and enjoy the view. Recommended for hiking and surfing!! ????????
