Perfect getaway to Bali - Moonterra Villa

The villa is stunningly beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by scenic paddy fields.

Rafting with Mason Adventure
#rafting
#100waysoftravel
Mason Adventure Rafting became my first rafting place in Bali. Although I have been in Bali for a long time, this is my first rafting experience. Okay, let me give you an overview of our rafting activities here. The first gathering location was at the Mason Adventure Office Kedewatan. So we were directed to the locker room according to gender. The locker room itself is quite cool and luxurious. After that we gathered in the parking lot for directions and we were taken using several cars provided by Mason to the starting point. The starting point is 10 minutes towards Payangan. After arriving there, we were directed to use life vests and helmets and paddles. Without paddles we will get stuck, we were also asked to fill out an insurance form to anticipate unwanted things. Before going down, we were briefed by the guide about the procedures during rafting. And we went down to the river. You will go down 700 steps to get to the river. I suggest you do a warm-up a week or 2 weeks before. The rafting time lasts for approximately 2 hours guys. Imagine how far it is. But the view presented will pay off all the fatigue. When we were there the water discharge was not too big. So our boat got stuck more often. Long story short when you reach the finishing point you have to climb 400 more stairs to get to the locker room. As I suggested, do more exercise before rafting, because it's tiring when going up and down the stairs after changing clothes, we went to the 3rd floor for lunch. And after that we were ready to go to the next place, the food is guaranteed to be addictive. And there's a SPA too with Japanese style. Mason Adventures is the first rafting pioneer in Ubud.

Jungle Camping Kintamani
#campingfun
#100waysoftravel
Recommended camping ground in the Pinggan Village area. Very easy to access because it is right on the edge of the asphalt road, cars and motorbikes can access. Parking is quite spacious. The campground is made in steps. There are several choices of buildings for glamping or camping with regular tents. Entrance ticket 25,000 IDR per person. In the morning you can see the sunrise, you can see Mount Batur, Mount Abang, and Mount Agung and if it's clear you can see Mount Rinjani in the distance. The air is quite cold at night because of its position on the slopes of the mountain. Free bathrooms, in front of the campground there is also a shop for shopping. Recommended.

Telaga Waja River Rafting Bali
#rafting
#100waysoftravel
Rafting here, the views on the right and left are very cool and highly recommended for rafting lovers. Indeed, the location is far from Denpasar, but it is paid off with the views on the right and left of the river and the current is okay for beginners. Very satisfied playing rafting Telaga Waja in Karangasem with BCR! Our operator BCR provides very clear information and good service. Our guide Bli Komang is also friendly. The food we received was also suitable and delicious. Recommended.

For the experience to this place is very good, the beach is very beautiful, nice, clean and the staff is very friendly, good to serve. Very satisfied, the water games are also exciting. Anyway, very satisfied, no regrets coming here. The water sports are definitely very good but make sure you bargain the price. We got it for almost half the price of what was mentioned. That is the case in Bali, learn how to negotiate.

Snorkeling at Nusa Dua Beach in Bali was an unforgettable experience. We chartered a boat and set out to explore the vibrant underwater world. As we donned our masks and fins, we were immediately captivated by the crystal-clear water.
The coral reefs were teeming with life, showcasing a kaleidoscope of colorful fish darting among the corals. We swam alongside gentle sea turtles and marveled at the intricate patterns of the sea anemones. The sunlight filtered through the surface, creating a magical play of light beneath the waves.
Every moment felt like a glimpse into another world, filled with tranquility and wonder. It was a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty, making our time at Nusa Dua Beach truly special.

💞Reasons to Recommend:
Bali | The last night before leaving the island, the feeling of complete is not bad, and the feature is that there is a large bathtub outside each room.
In Sanur, there seems to be a farm nearby. In the morning, you can hear the rooster crowing, and you can see the sea in the distance, but there seems to be nothing to visit around.
Well, the receptionist is very enthusiastic. When he checks in, he will bring all the facilities of the room.
◎l The restaurant mainly serves Japanese food. The taste and service are not bad, but the amount is not large.
The Spa is on the third floor. I chose an essential oil massage, which is very comfortable. It's just a little troublesome to fill in the form before and after. After pressing it, it will be kept on Google Map for scoring.
On the last day, I wanted to stay in a hotel, watch TV (with Netflix), and I was satisfied. Generally speaking, it is still worth experiencing~
Sensorium Bali Cafe
I had the best brunch at Sensorium Bali's new home in Bali!! Oh my god, Sensorium has now moved to a new location (still in Canggu). It's more spacious and the concept is really cool. All the staff are in really neat new uniforms. There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The concept is really great. Needless to say, the quality and taste of the food are still top-notch. Don't be mad if you had another brunch ramen. I had to have the dry ramen!! Of course, you have to add smoked salmon when you have the dry ramen. It's really delicious. Congratulations on the new home, Sensorium Bali

Each evening, as the sun dips toward the horizon, the island transforms into a scene of pure magic, with skies painted in hues of orange, pink, and gold.
Whether you’re lounging on a beach, perched on a cliff, or enjoying a beachfront dinner, the sunset in Bali never fails to captivate.

It’s the kind of moment that makes you feel completely connected to nature and the island’s peaceful energy.
One of the most unforgettable sunset spots, however, is Nusa Penida. Overlooking the rugged coastline, you can catch the sun setting behind jagged cliffs, casting dramatic shadows over the turquoise waters below. This experience is both calming and awe-inspiring, reminding you of the raw beauty that Bali has to offer.
Bali’s sunsets are more than just a visual treat—they’re an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left the island. Whether you’re seeking serenity or adventure, watching the sun set over Bali’s picturesque landscapes is a must for anyone visiting this tropical paradise.

Bali's Tanah Lot Temple
I had always longed to visit this place before setting off. Tanah Lot Temple in Bali is located in Seminyak and is one of the six major temples in Bali.
This is also a must-visit spot for tourists. Before entering Tanah Lot Temple, you will pass through a small market. It's crowded and a great place for shopping! After passing through the market and walking up the steps, you will see the place where people gather. You have to wait for low tide to walk across the sea to reach it. During high tide, you can still admire its beauty from the shore.
