Thankyou Kmkrnn i will try find it I forgot to add Museums to the list on my post that you for reminding me

Do you have a guidebook? The Lonely Planet will give you more ideas for days trips than you can do in a month.

You sure are moving around a lot. Bali is fairly small, there is no need to do this much moving around. You could actually see the whole island from two or three locations. (You could see it all from one location, but a couple of locations will mean you have shorter drives.) One of my favorite daytrips years ago was to the top of Batur. Lovely scenery.

Any chance you could take a couple of days to go to central Java and visit Borobudur and Prambanam?

Hi Kathie no i don't have a guide book reason to moving around alot is cause we have a month to do it all, few days here and there no rush rush if we see a pretty place who knows we might stop there, will look into Batur also been thinking about Java also thankyou for your reply

I think it's a lot of stops for a small area too. 3 or 4 ought to do it, otherwise you'll be spending most of your time packing and driving.

Driving is, to me, the least appealing way to see Bali. I think it's better to make shorter excursions and get out and walk around the villages, through the rice paddies, around the shopping areas, along the beach.

I hope you're not planning to stay in the town of Denpasar. It's the commercial and diplomatic center, but unless you have to buy something or go to the consulate, it's better to avoid Denpasar all together.

My choices for a month would be, roughly in order: Sanur, Amed, Pemuteran, Munduk/Begedel, Ubud, Seminyak. Or to choose 4: one southern beach, Ubud, one northern inland, one northern beach.

You can make day trips from each place. Your resort staff will help you plan and arrange guides if needed. Or get a guide book. I like Periplus on Bali.

Where you go really depends on what you like to do. Some areas are more active outdoorsy, some more cultural, and the ocean is the ocean.

I'm not a fan of driving yourself in Bali. The roads are not so good and the rule of the road (such as they are) can be difficult for an outsider to understand. There are plenty of drivers in Bali: let someone else have the headaches.

Also, be aware that unless you get a 60 day visa before you enter Indonesia, your visa on arrival will only allow a 30 day stay, including the day you arrive and the day you leave. You can extend for another 30 days once you're there, but that means a week or more without a passport.

Thankyou marmot for that info
Places where we will be staying at for a few to 4 days are.
Kuta
Sanua
Canci Dasa
Lovina
Ubud

Would also like to know of some tuck away places that are not full of people also.

We want to explore not sit in room.

I think you have the right idea but I would make a few substitutions: Seminyak instead of Kuta, Amed instead of Candi Dasa, Pemuteran instead of Lovina.

Other than the southern beaches and the center of the town of Ubud it's fairly easy to get away from crowded areas. The area that I'd suggest is just north of Ubud around the town of Munduk.

At Lovina we are staying at a motel one pool has dolpins so will be watching their show and also pay the extra and get in with dolphins and hope to get kissed by a dolpin, it also has a mini zoo so that should be a special place there we are there for 4 days so during the day will tour around abit around that area

When you go to Mt Batur, be sure to eat at the restaurant overlooking the crater (outside seating).

Of all the temples to see, make sure you go to the one on Mt Agung (their most holy temple), the one at Tanah Lot (see the snakes in the cave), and Uluwatu (at the tip of Nusa Dua).

Drink a latte on the outdoor terrace of the luxurious Amandari Hotel near Ubud overlooking the Ayung River gorge.

See a Balinese "traditional village" for exposure to Balinese culture ... I've been to Tanganan Village - interesting.

The beauty of Bali is found in the people and culture. If you have the opportunity to visit in the village home of a Balinese family, you will never forget their hospitality and warmth.

Your driver will know all these places.

Gypzy, if you are an animal lover, you won't want to go to a place like that! A swimming pool is not a humane environment for a dolphin. And the treatment of animals in such mini-zoos is well known to be problematic.

Hi My Balisunset, thank you for your reply I just Google Ayung River gorge, Looks lovey we will go there and thankyou we are staying at Ubud for a few days staying in a cottage,

I just Looked up Tanganan Village looks very interesting will put into list of do things.

Wow snake at Tamalot that will be cool to see thankyou.

We would love to visit a Bali family that would be amazing.

Temples sound lovely also thankyou so much for your help

I would still like more info like if you went on a day trip and have a list of places you went on each trip please

Gypzy, This really is a question to answer with a guide book. There are many dozens of options for day trips. A guidebook will break down attractions by location so you can see what the options are in each area. There are so many possibilities that none of us can list them all here - that's why there are guidebooks.

On Bali sometimes the things that are most interesting are things like temple ceremonies or cremations. Things you will run across as you are on the island, things your driver can tell you about - "there is a temple ceremony in X today, would you like to see it?"

Hi Kathie the reason why i posted this was cause i wanted to find out first hand by people that have been to Bali and find out what they thought of these places yes a book can say any thing but i would rather peoples info on list of places they went though on each day to share their adventure with me.
