Bali Trip Review – 7 Days

Hey everyone!

I’ve put together a detailed 7-day Bali trip for late September and would love to get your feedback. I’m traveling with friends (we’re a group of 4) — we’re looking for a mix of water activities, exploring iconic temples, relaxing at beaches, and a bit of shopping.

We’re not trying to cram too much in, but we do want to hit some “must-do” activities like:

• Snorkeling in Nusa Penida (with some exploring)
• Beginner-friendly scuba diving
• Lempuyang Temple (Gates of Heaven) & Tirta Empul
• Saraswati Temple & Ubud Palace
• Coffee tasting
• Uluwatu sunset & Kecak fire dance
• Some beach time

We’ll be arriving in Bali on Day 1 around 3 PM and flying out on Day 7 around 2 PM.
We’re okay skipping things like Monkey Forest and Mount Batur if it keeps the trip relaxed.

Here’s the Google Doc with our current plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qt9al54TF6m02MLeP6ESYQflv6ZSFsFHE38SryQq3qk/edit?usp=sharing

Would love any advice on:

• Whether the flow of the trip makes sense
• Best spot for beginner scuba diving — we’re currently considering Menjangan or Tulamben
• Any hidden gems or small adjustments to make the trip smoother

Thanks in advance!
