Forget Canggu! I Found the REAL Bali Everyone's Missing 🇮🇩
Most people come to Bali for the beaches, but in this North Bali travel guide, we’re heading beyond the crowded tourist hubs to discover a completely different side of Bali! We’re hopping a 2-day motorbike road trip adventure taking us from tropical savanna grasslands to towering active volcanoes, roaring jungle waterfalls, and sunrise ocean waters. 🇮🇩
Our journey begins along the coast in Savana Tianyar, where lush greenery suddenly shifts into golden grasslands reminiscent of an African savanna. Here, we taste local ice apples with friendly locals before climbing high into the cold volcanic highlands of Kintamani. Overlooking Mount Batur and Lake Batur, we fuel up on local mie goreng and Kintamani Arabica coffee before taking on the 343-step trek down to Sekumpul Waterfall—one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in all of Bali.
After watching the sunset along the beachfront promenade in Lovina, we wake up at 5:00 AM to head out on a traditional outrigger boat to swim alongside wild dolphins at sunrise. Our North Bali adventure wraps up with a relaxing soak in the volcanic Banjar Hot Springs, a scenic ride past the Twin Lakes, a stop at a fifth-generation family coffee plantation to taste authentic Luwak coffee, and a visit to the iconic floating Ulun Danu Beratan Water Temple.
If you’re planning a Bali itinerary or looking for the best things to do in North Bali, come along for the beautiful places, honest travel moments, and real adventure of exploring Bali by motorbike!
