Bali is easily one of my favourite islands in the world! The famed Island of the Gods has endless amounts of things to see and do including the deeply spiritual and unique culture, volcanic landscapes, countless waterfalls, rugged cliff faces, sandy beaches, tropical islands, world-class surf breaks, iconic rice terraces, elephant sanctuaries, 5-star resorts, yoga retreats, buzzing nightlife, healthy cafes, water parks and much more.
Having spent a lot of time in Bali over the years I know the island like the back of my hand which is why I am certain that this 2 Weeks In Bali Itinerary is the only guide you’ll need!

2 WEEK BALI ITINERARY
Here is an overview of an ideal 2 Week Bali Itinerary with my recommendations of places to visit in this order:
- Canggu (3 days)
- Bedugul (2 days)
- Ubud (3 days)
- Nusa Islands (4 days)
- Uluwatu (2 days)
Have you got travel insurance for Bali? I know that nobody likes to talk about this stuff but accidents happen all the time and having travel insurance can save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong. You can read more about why you need travel insurance.
I have been using World Nomads Travel Insurance on every trip and in my opinion, they are without a doubt the best travel insurance provider on the market. I always choose the World Nomads Explorer Plan as it covers just about everything.
BALI ITINERARY – DAY 1, 2 & 3:
CANGGU
Canggu, as of late, is the hottest tourist spot in Bali attracting digital nomads, surfers, skaters, yogis, foodies and just really down-to-earth people from all over the world. Canggu is NOT to be missed.
From Denpasar airport, Canggu is a thirty-minute drive in a taxi that should cost you no more than 300,000 Rupiah ($22).
Canggu has almost everything you can think of including healthy cafes, yoga studios, gymnasiums, co-working spaces, trendy bars, nightclubs, skateparks, tattoo studios, world-class surf beaches, music venues, local markets, hostels, beach resorts and much more!
Canggu is definitely where you’ll want to spend the first few days of your 2 Week Bali Itinerary.

BEDUGUL – NORTH BALI
Bedugul is the Real Bali as I like to call it. Located just one hour and thirty minutes drive from Canggu is the beautiful region of Bedugul – a mountainous lakeside village in the central-north of the island and this where the true Balinese culture can be found.
Bedugul is most famous for its twin crater lakes, countless waterfalls, panoramic viewpoints, traditional villages and more. I recommend spending at least two days here to explore the best of the best that Bedugul has to offer.

Uluwatu is located on the Bukit Peninsula in Bali’s south and it is a must-see region on the famed Island of the Gods.

BALI TRANSPORTATION
There are a few ways of getting around Bali – scooter, motorbike, go-jek, grab taxi and private taxi. In my experience, the cheapest and most convenient way of getting around Bali is by scooter.
The cost of scooter hire is around $4 day and petrol can be bought for as little as 70 cents per litre.
If you are not comfortable riding a scooter on the crazy roads of Bali you can use Go-Jek and Grab Taxi services. Download the free app from the App Store and you’ll need a local number to register before you can start using the service.
If you are travelling solo, you can select the motorbike taxi option within the Go-Jek and Grab app’s which is by far the cheapest mode of transport to get you from A to B.
