Tips for your package tour to Bali

Have you decided that your next holiday will go to Bali and your flight and hotel are already booked? Then we might have a few useful tips for you that will hopefully make your package tour to Bali an unforgettable experience.

Check out our recommendations for a Bali vacation.

Yoga, diving, surfing, biking

Bali is a popular meeting place for surfers, divers and yogis. There are countless waves and yoga studios, as well as an enchanting underwater world on the small island.

As a Bali traveler you should therefore try at least one yoga class, one introductory dive or one surf class. And who knows, maybe you’ll even get hooked and end up doing Vinyasa Yoga every day, trying to catch a wave or marveling at the underwater world.

– Yoga in Bali

While yoga has never been part of Balinese culture, it has a lot in common with Balinese attitudes, beliefs and thinking. And these similarities can be felt in every corner of the island. It’s no wonder that the range of yogic offerings in Bali is constantly increasing. Whether yoga schools, yoga retreats, yoga teacher training courses, ashrams or yoga festivals – you will find everything on the island!

The yoga scene is mainly concentrated in the area around Ubud and Canggu (and now also the Bukit Peninsula).

– Surfing in Bali

Bali is a surfer’s paradise. The island reveals waves for every level. In addition, you will find a surf guide or instructor in every corner who can help you with your first attempts at standing or just a shop where you can rent a board.

You can find surfers (or those who want to become one) all over the Bukit Peninsula, in Seminyak and Kuta, in Canggu and in the west at Medewi and Balian.

– Diving in Bali

Bali is a popular destination for divers. There are countless dive sites with a wide variety of highlights – from wrecks to steep walls to artificial reef projects. We also learned to dive in Bali. Since then we have been able to discover some of the most beautiful diving spots in Bali and still can’t get enough of Bali’s underwater life.

Divers like to stay under water in east Bali. Popular diving spots here include Padangbai, Tulamben and Amed. There are also many diving schools in northern Bali in Pemuteran and around the island of Nusa Penida.

– Biking in Bali

A wonderful form of transportation to experience many authentic encounters along the way is cycling, which is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia.

For example, you can do a whole round trip by bike (e.g. from Bali to Java) – on your own or organized. Or you can just go on a day trip by bike.

Local SIM card for mobile internet

Whether you’re on a vacation package to Bali for just a few days or several weeks, mobile internet can make life on the island a lot easier.

You can use map apps to search and navigate to specific locations anytime, anywhere. You can search for your next accommodation from anywhere or research background information on certain sights if there is no guide nearby.

You are not dependent on the WLAN in your homestay and can also call your loved ones at home via Skype, Whatsapp & Co. on the beach.

Which providers are recommended?

To make phone calls to Europe, we recommend the Indonesian SIM card from the SimPATI brand, which offers relatively favorable conditions for calls to Europe with the help of a specific area code. This can be purchased very cheaply in any local mobile phone shop. Alternatively, XL is also a good provider! With the card you can then book a monthly Internet flat rate for just under 10 euros. Simply ask the cell phone shop employee directly whether they can load 2 GB of Internet onto your card.
