Bali is also known for its fantastic diving sites. The water here is ideal for snorkelling and diving, it’s clear enough to see all the colourful marine life. Water sports are also popular, surfing is a past time that all the locals enjoy.

Other stunning sites to see include Bratan, Bali’s second largest lake. Here you can see a water temple with mountains in the backdrop. Tanah Lot is an impressive rock formation where you can take some lovely pictures. If you fancy a three hour trek then make your way to the top of Mount Batur, it’s an active volcano with some of the best views on the island. Once you get to the top you can take in the views and walk around the crater.
