Be picked up for a shared transfer to today’s activity: Stand-up paddle boarding, or "SUP" for short, is a trendy new sport that has recently arrived in Bali from Hawaii. The sport is suitable for everybody and can be practiced without waves and in shallow water. No surfing experience is required. The sport is also a good alternative to other health-promoting activities such as jogging, hiking, and climbing, as it involves both strength and endurance. Because it is practiced on the water, it has a relaxing and almost meditative quality.

Following the stand-up paddle-boarding lesson, head to a local restaurant for a healthy lunch.

Return to the hotel before the afternoon excursion for a chance to freshen up and take a short break.

In the afternoon, have the chance to visit one of Bali’s most impressive temples, Uluwatu, which is majestically perched on the edge of a steep cliff. As the sun sets, be treated to a dramatic Kecak dance performance, which involves male performers chanting rhythmically and percussively while throwing their arms in the air.

Cap off this memorable day out in Bali with a seafood platter dinner. Head to the Impossible beach area for your semi-outdoor dining experience and enjoy a platter of freshly caught seafood and side dishes while dining with the fresh sea breezes. 

Having experienced the best of southern Bali, return to the hotel or head out to one of the area’s popular bars for a nightcap.
