3-Day Bali Tour Packages
What if three days zeroed in on Nusa Penida - secluded beaches, Kelingking Beach, Crystal Bay, Angel's Billabong with its natural infinity pools? Manta rays show up when you're snorkeling around these spots. Another option hits the Gili Islands off Lombok where you bike car-free paths, swim with turtles. These Indonesian islands around Bali pack beaches and marine life into quick trips.

3 Days in Bali, incl. Nusa Penida and Kuta
Marine life awaits during full-day West Nusa Penida excursion. Snorkel pristine waters, visit Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong. Two nights at ZIA BALI KUTA with breakfast and professional guides.
- Day 1
Arrival in Kuta, Bali:
Plan to arrive in the morning if possible. The drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport to your Kuta hotel takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Once you're settled, head to Kuta Beach in the afternoon when the sun isn't as strong. If you want to try surfing, board rentals cost about $5-10 per hour and the waves are perfect for beginners. Book your stay near ZIA Bali Kuta to be close to both the beach and your departure point for tomorrow.
- Day 2
Nusa Penida Adventure:
Your hotel pickup is at 6:00 AM. Take motion sickness medicine before the 45-minute ferry ride from Sanur Harbor. Sit in the middle of the boat where it's most stable. The snorkeling spots have strong currents, so pay attention to your guide's safety briefing. Kelingking Beach viewpoint offers amazing photo opportunities, but consider staying at the viewpoint instead of hiking down to the beach. The descent takes about 45 minutes on steep stairs. At Angel's Billabong, only swim in the natural pool when your guide says it's safe. High tide can bring dangerous waves.
- Day 3
Departure:
Hotels typically have noon checkout. Most will store your luggage if you have a late flight, giving you time for one last visit to the beach. If you're traveling during rush hour (8-10 AM or 4-6 PM), give yourself at least 45 minutes to reach the airport.
2 Day Bali Itinerary, incl. Mount Batur and Kintamani
Mountain adventure scales Mount Batur from Kintamani to 1,717m summit. First day covers transfers, second includes pre-dawn trek, Lake Batur sunrise, crater walks, and hot spring relaxation before Ubud return.
- Day 1
Kintamani Arrival and Preparation
Start your journey with a transfer to Kintamani located about 1.5 hours from Ubud or 2.5 hours from southern Bali's beach areas. Plan to arrive by early afternoon so you can prepare for tomorrow's adventure. Since Kintamani sits at 1,500m elevation the evening temperatures can drop to 15°C (59°F), so pack a light jacket and hiking shoes. The rest of the afternoon should be spent resting since you'll need to wake up around 2:00 AM for the trek.
- Day 2
Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
Your day begins with an early pickup between 2:00-2:30 AM for a short drive to the trek starting point. Your guide will provide flashlights for the 2-hour climb in darkness. One experienced trekker shared: "The path can be quite steep and slippery with volcanic scree - trekking poles really helped, especially on the descent." The climb to the 1,717m summit is challenging but most people with basic fitness can manage it. Your guide will set a comfortable pace to reach the top around 6:00 AM just in time for sunrise. At the summit you'll enjoy breakfast including eggs cooked in volcanic steam vents plus coffee and tea. When the sun rises you'll see incredible views of Lake Batur and Mount Agung spread out before you. After enjoying the sunrise you'll walk around the crater rim to explore recent lava flows and steam vents. The walk down takes about 1.5 hours. Before heading back to your hotel you'll stop at natural hot springs to relax your muscles. You should be back at your hotel by late morning. Important tips: - Dress in layers since it starts cold but warms up after sunrise - Bring at least 1 liter of water per person - Use proper hiking shoes with good grip for the loose volcanic gravel - Consider hiring a porter if you're bringing camera equipment - Book between April and October for the best chance of clear sunrise views - Let your guide know if you need to go slower than the group While the trek needs moderate fitness and might be tough for people with knee problems because of the steep descent, watching the sunrise from the summit is an unforgettable Bali experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Incredible Private Tour Experience with Asta in Bali! We had an amazing 3-day private tour in Bali, Indonesia, and we were so lucky to have Asta as our driver and tour guide! This tour is highly recommended—not just for the beautiful destinations, but especially for the personalized service that Asta provided throughout the entire trip. Day 1: From the moment we met Asta, he was warm, friendly, and made us feel comfortable right away. He took us to our planned destinations and even helped us take amazing photos and videos—some of which looked perfect for Instagram Reels or TikTok! He shared fun trivia about the places we visited and gave great food recommendations too. Asta was also super accommodating, always asking if there was anything we wanted to add or change in the itinerary. What we loved most is how patient and relaxed the tour was—no rushing, no crowds—just us enjoying Bali at our own pace. He even introduced us to delicious local snacks and candies that can only be found in Bali. Day 2: Asta continued to impress us with his thoughtfulness. He reminded us to bring snacks and water, especially when photo spots might have longer waiting times. He brought us to a fantastic place to try various teas and Bali’s famous Luwak coffee. His recommendations for where to eat and what to do near our hotel (a 4-star hotel near Icon Bali Mall) were also spot on. Again, he helped us capture beautiful moments at each destination. Day 3: We visited Nusa Penida, and Asta took care of all the arrangements to make the day go smoothly. We needed to return early for an event, and Asta made sure we got a boat back to Bali Island right on time. He even recommended and offered to book spa services for us, helping us get better deals. Before dropping us off at our hotel, he gave us more tips on what to explore nearby. Overall Experience: Accommodations: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Driving: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very safe, calm, and professional) Tour Guide: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Destinations: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Asta went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable trip. The private tour allowed us the freedom to explore without rushing or following a group, and Asta made it extra special with his personality, local knowledge, and attention to detail. Highly recommend both the tour company (Putu Bali Driver) and Asta as your guide. We’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and family!

ForeverVacation is the best tour provider that we've ever had before. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, our tour was wonderful. Ben was very helpful every step of the way and accommodating when scheduling tours. Our drivers, especially Rudy and Aprio, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were very patient and knowledgeable about where we were going and with taking our pictures and I was apart of a big group. I will definitely use ForeverVacation when I make my way back to Bali.
