Everything you should know before you book
Bali packs volcano sunrises, clifftop sea temples, jungle waterfalls, and island boat trips into one compact island. This ranking pulls the island's highest-rated bookable experiences so you can build a shortlist fast, whether it's your first trip or a return visit.
Book the early-departure tours ahead. The Mount Batur sunrise hike leaves around 2am and sells out, the Nusa Penida fast boats fill on calm-weather days, and the Uluwatu sunset slot is the island's busiest. Everything below is bookable with instant confirmation and, on most options, free cancellation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Bali?
The Mount Batur sunrise hike is the signature experience, but the Uluwatu clifftop temple at sunset and a Nusa Penida boat trip round out the classic Bali trio. This list ranks them all by traveller reviews.
How many days do you need in Bali?
Two days covers an Ubud highlands day and a south-coast temple-and-sunset day; three lets you add a Mount Batur sunrise. See our 2- and 3-day Bali itineraries.
Do I need a car to get around Bali?
Most visitors book guided tours with hotel pickup or hire a private driver. The roads are congested and distances are longer than they look, so a driver-guide is the most efficient option.
