Why Bali
is special

The island of Bali in Indonesia is a traveler's dream-come-true - and offers visitors an exciting variety of things to do and see.

What to do
and see in Bali

Rice Terraces

Rice terraces throughout the world are photogenic. Of all of them, those in Bali are the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Traditional
dance & music

Balinese dance entertains and uplifts your spirit. And nothing is more mesmerizing than the haunting percussion sounds of a Balinese gamelan orchestra.

Arts & Crafts

On a per capita basis, Bali probably has the most accomplished artists and craftsmen on earth. Skills include painting, stone carving and wood sculpting (including elaborate masks - see photo).

Temples

Bali is nicknamed the Island of the Gods because it has over 10,000 temples. No trip to Bali is fulfilled without observing a festive temple ceremony.

The Ubud
experience

Ubud village and its surrounding lands rest among lush hills and rice terraces. It's the artistic heart and soul of Bali.
