Description

Make the most of your day in port with a private shore excursion that takes you beyond the usual Ubud route to the peaceful highlands of Bangli. After you disembark at Benoa Port, simply walk about 50 meters to the main parking area, where your driver will be waiting with a sign showing your name. Settle into your air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a scenic drive through Bali's countryside. Your first stop is Penglipuran Village, one of Bali's best-preserved traditional villages. Stroll along its clean stone pathway lined with flowers and matching bamboo-roofed family gates, and discover how Balinese families have lived in harmony with nature and tradition for generations. Your guide will explain the village layout, the family compound, and local customs, and you can take a short walk to the nearby bamboo forest. Next, visit Pura Kehen, an ancient hillside temple set on terraced courtyards and shaded by a giant banyan tree. Admire its detailed stone carvings and learn about the role of temples in Balinese Hindu life. Sarongs are provided so you can enter respectfully. Take a relaxing break with lunch at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic Balinese and Indonesian flavors. In the afternoon, continue to Tegenungan Waterfall, one of Bali's most famous waterfalls, surrounded by lush tropical jungle. Enjoy the view and take photos from the upper viewpoint, or walk down the stairs for a closer look if you wish. On the way back to the port, you can choose to add an optional stop if your ship's schedule allows: Celuk silver village to watch silversmiths at work, Mas wood carving village, or a traditional batik gallery. These stops are not included in the package, and any entrance fees or purchases are paid by you. Your guide will confirm on the day whether there is enough time. Throughout the day, your guide keeps track of your ship's all-aboard time and adjusts the pace when needed, so you can relax and enjoy Bali knowing you will be back at Benoa Port on time. Entrance tickets to Penglipuran Village, Pura Kehen, and Tegenungan Waterfall, as well as lunch, are all included.
