Bali is an Indonesian island known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, stunning beaches, and IG-worthy swings. The mere mention of Bali evokes visions of a lush green, zen paradise in the minds of travelers who see a visit to the island as the ultimate in travel goals. And it’s not hard to understand why.

From the moment you land, the “Island of the Gods” mesmerizes you with its beauty. Whether you’re sharing a laugh with friendly locals, receiving blessings at famous temples, hiking towering mountains or simply indulging in Bali’s peace and serenity, there’s no shortage of reasons to fall in love with the island over and over again.

For adventurer and adrenaline junkie B.Scott (@b.thetraveller28) it was the opportunity to uncover some of the island’s more unique qualities that drew him to Bali on a recent trip. His escape introduced us to a side of paradise we just knew we had to add to our own travel itinerary. Take notes from our exclusive guide to discover how you can get into a different side of Bali on your very own adventure.

01
Welcome to Bali
The Indonesian island of Bali is a popular destination amongst travelers looking to get closer to nature, reclaim their zen and add unique experiences to their travel adventures. The best time to experience Bali’s magic in full bloom is April, May, June, and September, just before and just after high season. Bali is also extremely budget-friendly with 1 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) equaling less than a penny.

Floating Eats
You can barely scroll through Instagram without seeing a photo of one of Bali’s most famous features, the floating breakfast. You can find this ‘gram worthy dining experience at pretty much every resort and villa on the island, and for a reasonable price which means the moment never has to end.
