Central Bali
Our driver picks you up from your accommodation and you can enjoy the cooler morning on your drive to Central Bali with the roof down in our classic VW convertible jeep.
Our first visit is the 1000 year old village temple of Batuan with its beautiful stone carvings. The temple is an extraordinary example of classic architecture and is a Pura Desa(village temple) and Pura Puseh(ancestors temple) at the same time.
Afterwards we take you on an easy 40 minute morning hike through incredible scenic rice fields in the Ubud area. This is the place where your guide explains everything about rice growing in Bali and the world famous irrigation system making it possible.
A short drive away is the Goa Garba, mostly unknown by tourists. An 11th century hermitage cave , with an ancient spectacular Gate carved in the cliff of a river valley. You can still feel the mystic of the ancient Hindu kingdoms.
The VW jeep .tour continues uphill and eventually you reach the Batur caldera. Here you can enjoy stunning vistas of the volcano and Batur lake, Balis largest sweet water crater lake.
A highlight of the Central Bali tour is the adventurous drive into the old caldera and through the lava fields. Here you can take a little walk and your guide explains everything about vulcanoes in Bali.
Back at the rim of the caldera enjoy a buffet lunch again with gorgeous views. In the afternoon we take you to a holy spring where the Balinese perform cleansing rituals, Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu. A great place for taking pictures of the beautiful pools and the exotic old statues.
A short drive takes you to the incredible and famous riceterraces of Pakudui and Tegallalang where you have time to take plenty of photos.
