3 Days in the Gili Islands

3 Days in the Gili Islands 

Hello everyone and welcome in other article where I’m taking you with me the amazing Gili Islands. Are you ready to discover it with me? Let’s go!!

Location

The Gili Islands are located at approximately 2hours from Bali. From Uluwatu you will have to go to Padang Bai first (2hours of bike)

Then you will take a boat to go to the islands (2 more hours)

Information : it costs 500K for the round trip and you will also have to rent a bike over there because there are no scooters in this islands (hostels often provide a bike so don't worry!)

Day 1 : 

On the first day, I just took the time to have a lunch and to visit Gili T island, the biggest one. I also recommend you to take a hotel on the nothern part of it (more relaxing, less people etc...). You will be near to the Turtle Point, where I spent the whole first day! You can rent a mask and a tuba for a very good price (around 25K per day) to do snorkeling!

Day 2 : 

The second day was the first complete day in Gili. I left the hotel in the morning to go to an island tour which is definitely a thing to do if you come over there. The boat took us to a special trip around Gili Meno and Gili Air, showing us the best snorkeling spots (Statues, other Turtle Points ...).  You will also have some time to take a lunch in one of the island!

Informations : the islands tour costs 125K  (around 1,200,000 for a private boat/tour)

For the 2 sunsets I had the chance to see in Gili, I went to the western coast to take a drink and just relax!!

Day 5 : 

On the last day, i just take some time to enjoy seeing a last time the turtles and have a lunch at the beach

5 Days in Ubud, Bali

5 Days in Ubud, Bali

Hello everyone and welcome in other article where I’m taking you with me in another wonderful part of the island : Ubud. Are you ready to discover it with me? Let’s go!!

Location

Ubud is located in « the middle » of the island at approximately 2hours from Canang Sari Villa and Uluwatu. By car, it’s going to be a little bit longer (around 3hours)

Day 1 : 

On the first day, I just took the time to have a lunch and to visit the area.  Landscapes in Ubud are amazing and very different from Uluwatu and Kuta/Seminyak. This city is located in the forest so you can be sure you are going to see a lot of monkeys, creepers etc.. which give you a change of scene for sure. I decided to visit the rice terraces which are everywhere overthere. You can walk in them or just see them from the road. Personnaly, i recommend you to have a lunch or just a drink with the view on it. it's just breathtaking 

Day 2 : 

The second day was the first complete day in Ubud. We left the hotel early in the morning to go to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces Trail which is part of the Unesco National Parks. We booked a personal guide for a total of around 500K/day. At the price, he took us to a special trip and this natural park, showing us the best places. We had the chance to see the beautiful terraces and landscapes that are completely different than the « usual » Bali that everybody knows (the more touristic one). We loved to walk in the middle of the terraces and meet the locals who are so welcoming and nice. This is definitely the place not to be missed if you come to Ubud!

Informations : the entrance costs 40K 

Day 3 : 

Our guide took us to discover a coffee plantation which is definitely a thing to do in this part of the island. There are a lot of them so don’t be worried, it is very easy to find.  The locals will explain the process of coffee creation and why there are so many of them. You will be able to taste a selection of a dozen of coffee and tea. You will also have the chance to taste the most expensive coffee in the world and how is it prepared which is ….. I can not say anything more, just come and discover it by yourself, you won't regret it!!!

Informations : all of this is free! Then, they will show you their coffee and tea shops where you can buy tea/coffee bagds  for around 300K-600K

On the afternoon, we went to see different waterfalls which are also very typical from Ubud. They are so many of them in this area : it’s just something to see. Time for Instagram posts!!

Informations : the entrance costs between 20K-40K 

Day 4 :

We kept our guide to go to the Hot Springs, which are hot swimming pools located and heated thanks to the Mount Batur, an active volcano where you can also do a night trek to see the sunrise at the top of it.

Informations : the entrance costs 50K and the access to the pool 300K

Day 5 : 

On the last day, we left Ubud to go to the northern part of Island, Lovina, which is really famous for…. The dolphins and the coral reefs. It starts at 6am or 8:30. You can see the sunrise and after that the boat drives you to see the dauphins swimming. After that, the driver will show you the coral reef where you'll be able do snorkeling!!

Informations : several prices are available depending on what you would like to do/see. Between 150K-250K
