Tiny, volcanic Bali is one of the most enchanting islands in the world. It entices a million tourists a year, drawn like moths towards an exotic flame. A flame fed by a fascination with the unique Hind Balinese culture of a gentle people, the legendary beauty of a land checkered by verdant rice fields studded by ancient temples, and the allure of coral seas alive with marine life beyond imagination.

Bali offers the best in trekking, mountain biking, white water rafting, sailboarding, surfing, hang gliding & paragliding, and cruises & sailing. You might also want to rent a car and tour the island on your own.
