East Bali Trips & Tours

When it comes to natural and cultural wonders, Eastern Bali is blessed. It’s also a million miles away from the rest of the island in terms of tourism, peace and serenity, but you don’t have to travel for hours to get there; in fact, the resort town of Candidasa, the official start of ‘East Bali’ is only an hour’s drive from the airport. Black sand beaches adorn the coast, their waters offering diving and snorkelling to rival anywhere else in Bali, whilst the interior is mostly rice paddies that sweep across the fields in carpets of green. There are plenty of temples dotted around too; visit Lempuyang for the best views of Mount Agung (the highest volcano in Bali), and Besakih, a beautiful complex of over 85 temples and shrines. As you travel around, stop at the traditional villages; the people here fiercely protect their customs and crafts and it’s an insightful glimpse into the history of East Bali.
