Top Bali Sightseeing Tours in 2026

Towering 9,944 feet (3,031 meters) over Bali, the Mt. Agung volcano is the island’s highest and most sacred peak. Climb through the night with a guide to reach the summit in time for sunrise and soak up views across to the three peaks of Lombok’s Mt. Rinjani as you eat breakfast. This challenging yet rewarding tour includes 2-way transfers from south Bali, Ubud, Amed, Lovina, and Candidasa.

The stretch of gorge below Ubud has no road along it, and the banks are reachable only from the water. A raft covers that ground, running between rock walls carved with reliefs and past rice terraces stepped above the bank. Class II and III rapids break up the calmer sections, with a guide steering and one party to a boat.
