Morning at leisure. In the afternoon take a pleasant short ride along the hills of Bali's southern peninsula. This area, known as Bukit, offers a landscape and topography unequaled by any other regions of the island. Unlike the majority lush tropical country sides which owed their fertile soils to the volcanoes that dotted the central highlands, this arid terrain-formed by millennia of coral sedimentations is a world of its own. Their beautiful-yet-wild beaches are heaven for surfers. In the corner of this peninsula, perched on a sheer cliff, is a highly venerated Uluwatu temple. A performance of The Ramayana epic-based Kecak Dance with the majestic temple and sunset as its background, will give a climax to this memorable evening. The tour ends at Jimbaran Beach where you will enjoy a delicious seafood dinner, served on the beach.

Two days totally free and at leisure. You can take advantage of any optional activities or simply relax and enjoy the beach.
