There’s so much to see and do on this island that the fun is everywhere, and you can do your own designer holiday, the way you want to do it. Bali is a sort of miniature world, and your options are really unlimited. The better you know Bali, the more ideas you’ll have, too, so your holiday can be a real adventure. All you need is for your own custom Bali holiday some good travel insurance and to do your research thoroughly.

Finding your favorite things
Fortunately for travelers, Bali is very good with its tourist information. This is a prime travel destination specifically because the local operators and the market have developed very good systems. You couldn’t get lost on Bali, even if you tried.
Researching your options for Bali is great fun itself. If you want to do a culture tour, for example, (a very good idea) you can be almost overwhelmed by the sheer scope and diversity of the cultural sites and events. You could be forgiven for thinking you were doing a study of Europe, there are so many historical and different cultural things packed into such a tiny area. Just remind yourself that all of this is happening on one small island. You can literally see all of it, on one holiday in Bali.
If you want an adventure holiday, it’s nearly as staggering as the cultural research. The holiday options include:
- Scuba
- Surfing
- Fishing
- Boating
- Island tours
- Tours of other islands
- Jet skiing
- Water skiing
All of these things are without even mentioning the many different beautiful locations. Bali is the sort of place artists and photographers spend their lives trying to capture, and the whole place is like a multi-layered postcard. These activities are all set in the most fabulous places. Nothing ever gets dull on Bali.
Planning your custom Bali holiday
The key to planning a good holiday is time management. Allow extra time. It’s a good idea to add a few days on each end of your basic holiday time, if at all possible. This gives you some time to play with, and also prevents the last minute dashes at the beginning and end of travel.
On Bali, another element works very much in your favor- There’s plenty of good accommodation, all over the island. You don’t have to be doing everything from one place, doing more travel than having fun and doing the things you want to do. Find a place which is close to everything and everywhere you want to see.
Create nice, loose time frames for your custom Bali holiday which allow you plenty of room for just enjoying yourself. If you’ve got a fortnight, you can allow three days for catching up on your surfing or scuba, then do an inland trek for another few days. Get some good cheap travel insurance online, and come and check it out- your way.
The Spanish colonial architecture and classic American cars lend a unique charm to Havana, capital of Cuba. The beaches are another attraction for sunbathers, surfers and scuba-divers.
