Bali · WALKING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 12 walking tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Taste 10 Balinese specialties with a private local host, from Badung Market to babi guling, while exploring Denpasar’s everyday food scene.
“Loved it. We have never been game to try locals restaurants and street food in Bali before but with June’s guidance we had a great time and opened our eyes to great new food and culture.”
Walk Sidemen’s rice terraces, market, villages, and Subak waterways with a local guide, plus Mount Agung views, for just $14.
“Beautiful tour, guide was knowledgeable and very funny, perfect morning activity!”
Walk Ubud’s rice fields, temples, jungle paths, and family compounds with a local guide, then enjoy coffee tasting and a Balinese lunch.
“Wayan was a very friendly and knowledgable guide. He pointed out & named many trees and fruits. Off road walking through rice fields and jungle was a great experience. It was a 3 hour tour but not all of it was walking. It included a visit to a Balinese home, a coffee plantation and lunch. This was fine for me but it could have been clearer in the promotion.”
Walk Bali’s seabed in a supplied-air helmet, meet colorful fish, and add hotel transport or a Ubud and Uluwatu day tour.
“I was not allowed to take this trip since I had asthma. However they provided us with three alternate options of Banana Boat ride, Doughnut boat ride and Jet Ski which was good. The photography was bit too costly and people are taken for ride over there. The person who was dealing with us Vishnu insisted on he being tipped since he made these alternate arrangements.”
Walk beneath Bali’s sea in a clear helmet, meet tropical fish, and enjoy a guided 15-minute Nusa Dua underwater adventure.
“We were 2 couples 65 years old. It was great fun. We all really enjoyed it. I’ve scuba dived the others had not. The big helmet holds you down under the water, the short walk holding onto the rail is effortless and you see lots of beautiful fish. It’s like being inside a giant aquarium. In fact, although I was only 7m under the sea, I felt like a character in a Jules Verne novel, “20,000 leagues under the sea”. The guide/owner was really nice with excellent English and genuinely wanted us to have an enjoyable experience.”
Taste Bali beyond the resorts on a private Denpasar night food tour with Kreneng Market, babi guling, satay, soto, fruit, and local guides.
“Agus was a great tour guide. He took is to get some good food, and gave us an overall great experience.”
Walk Sidemen’s rice terraces with a local guide, learn about Balinese farming and irrigation, and enjoy quiet village views for $17.
“A nice tour throughout the Sidemen village and the rice and vegetable fields. Our tour guide, Juni, was able to tell us a lot about the aggregation system and the way they operate. Nice way to explore the lands of Sidemen.”
Walk the seabed at Tanjung Benoa, watch Uluwatu’s sunset, and see the Kecak Dance in one flexible Bali day tour.
“Had a wonderful time with Samba. He is very knowledgeable and good in English. Excellent guide to have if you want to do any of the activities and takes great pictures.”
Walk Ubud’s Campuhan Ridge, temples, palace, art market, and Monkey Forest with an English-speaking guide for $35.
“My guide Iwayan Kar was excellent. He explained everything very precisely, he was available, he helped us with our bags and showed us every place with passion and professionality. Really appreciated this experience.”
Explore Bali’s temples, coffee farms, rice fields, and village life on a six-hour small-group cultural walk from Ubud and nearby resorts.
“The tour was fantastic. The places we visited were really interesting, and we gained so many insights into Balinese culture. The organiser was great at adapting to our wishes. We’d happily do it again anytime!”
Walk the Nusa Dua seafloor in a full-face helmet, see tropical fish, and enjoy transfers, lunch, equipment, and a 10-minute session.
“Won't do this activity again or recommend doing it at Bali Dolphin, maybe somewhere else but not here. The staff were not friendly and helpful.”
Yoga, a floating breakfast, and a guided rice terrace walk make this $49 Bali day experience a gentle mix of wellness, food, and culture.
“Overall, we enjoyed all of the activities involved in this tour, but felt the coordination could have been smoother. Our driver came a few minutes early, but then we had to wait approximately 30 minutes for our yoga class. However, the yoga instructor was lovely and gave us choice in the style of session we wanted. We were then offered free coffee and tea, which was a nice surprise. We were a bit confused about next steps, but with a quick message to the driver, things were sorted out. We then had a very large floating breakfast. The excursion ended with a trip to the beautiful rice fields, where I…”
