North Bali feels like a different island entirely โ calmer seas, fewer tourists, lush jungle waterfalls, a Buddhist monastery, and natural hot springs fed by volcanic activity.
North Bali takes about 2 hours to reach from the south โ the mountain road through Bedugul is half the experience. Your driver will plan a scenic route through the highlands, stopping at jungle waterfalls and the famous lake temple, before descending to the calm north coast.
Your driver knows exactly when to arrive at each spot to beat the crowds.
The north coast's main beach town, famous for its dolphin-watching boat trips at sunrise (separate local boat cost applies). Calm black sand beach with an unhurried pace.
One of Bali's most accessible waterfalls โ a 20-minute walk through jungle to a dramatic 35-metre drop. Refreshingly cool after the drive.
Bali's only Buddhist monastery, perched on a hill with colourful murals and a peaceful garden. A surprising and beautiful contrast to Hindu Bali.
Natural volcanic hot springs flowing into a terraced bathing pool surrounded by jungle. Popular with locals โ a genuinely relaxing stop.
North Bali works best as a Full Day Tour โ leave by 7:30am to reach Gitgit Waterfall before the heat, continue to Lovina and the Buddhist monastery for midday, and stop at the hot springs on the way back through Bedugul.
