What natural areas can I explore outside the cities and how do I get there?

Once you get away from the busy cities Bali's got some incredible natural spots to discover. West Bali National Park is this amazing place with everything from rainforests to coral reefs you can get there by private car or join a tour. There's great hiking trails dive sites and mangrove forests to explore plus boat trips out to Menjangan Island where the underwater scenery is just stunning. One Life Adventures runs these really cool tours to less-visited spots like Pemuteran where you can go snorkeling around Menjangan Island's reefs and spot turtles and colorful fish. Their Bali Classic 12 Day tour includes a full day at Menjangan Island for snorkeling and checking out this cool Biorock Project.

How do people usually get around Bali and what's the transport schedule like?

Getting around Bali's pretty flexible depending on what you're after and your budget. Private drivers are great for day trips and hitting multiple spots they'll take you door to door. Lots of people rent scooters for independent exploring just make sure you've got an international driving permit and watch out for the traffic it can get pretty crazy. In urban areas ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek are super convenient and affordable just download the app and you're good to go. Fast ferries run regularly throughout the day between Bali and places like Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands. The Intro Travel 12 Day experience uses these fast ferries to get between Bali and Gili Trawangan it's quick and easy.

Which places in Bali are still pretty quiet but really worth visiting?

There's some amazing spots in Bali that don't get the crowds but are absolutely worth your time. Pemuteran up in North Bali has these beautiful pristine reefs and it's your gateway to Menjangan Island which has some of the best diving and snorkeling you'll find. The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces are actually UNESCO listed they're these stunning emerald-green paddies that get way fewer visitors than the famous Tegalalang ones. Ulun Danu Bratan Temple sits right on Lake Bratan it's this peaceful water temple that feels worlds away from the busy tourist areas. One Life Adventures includes Pemuteran and Menjangan Island in their 12 Day tour showing you these quieter spots with incredible natural beauty.
