day 1
- After the pick up in a VW 181 cabrio jeep visit Tanah Lot, spectacularly located on volcanic rock out at sea in the morning without the crowds. Therefor the name meaning land-sea is making sense.

- Afterwards visit the monkey forest in Alas Kedaton, also home to gigantic flying dogs.

day 2
- A scenic and leisurely VW 181 cabriolet drive takes you through Balis most spectacular riceterraces at Jatuluwih. On the way you will stop at vanilla, coffee and cacao plantations. As you go further up the mountains you reach Bedugul with its coulourful Beratan lake around noon.
- Visit Ulun Danu temple, dedicated to the water goddess and stroll around the beautiful gardens.
- After lunch bargain for spice and fruit at a local market and continue further North to Munduk, driving along the ridge of an old volcanic crater with views of lake Buyan and Tamblingan.
- Walk to a waterfall where you can also enjoy a swim in the cool pond before you reach Lovina beach for your overnight stay.
day 3
- After breakfast the tour continues through the old capital of Singaraja on to Kintamani with its spectacular prehistoric Batur volcano. A gigantic explosion about 28000 Years ago created a caldera with a size of 12 kilometers. The deepest part is filled with Balis largest sweetwater lake and later eruptions gave rise to Mout Batur 1700 meters high.
- The Batur area was recently included by UNESCO as a geo park and world heritage site. The highlight of the tour is a drive into the old Batur caldera with its black lava fields.

day 4
- Enjoy snorkeling in the morning in Jemeluk Bay where colourful tropical fish are feeding.
- Continue the tour on Balis breezy and most eastern and remote road with unbelievebale vistas of the coast and fishing villages tucked away at the numerous beaches and reach Amlapura, the former Karangsam kingdoms capital with its wide and shady roads.
- Visit the Palace Puri Agung, still inhabited by members of the royal family and drive to Tenganan, the Bali Aga village famous for the weaving of double ikat , a cloth that is supposed to have special powers and also for its unique music and dance, different from the Bali Hindu community .
- Finally visit the Kertha Gosa hall of Justice in Klungkung. Here was the seat of the Dewa agung, Balis highest Raja who eventually committed the puputan-fight to death- instead of surrendering to the Dutch 1908.
