Discover Bali at its quietest
This is a tour for early risers and those who appreciate quiet landscapes. In the highlands of Sukawana, you’ll see Bali before it fully wakes — forests veiled in mist, soft light spreading over volcanic slopes, and the first birdsong echoing through the hills. It’s a way to connect with the island not through effort, but through presence.
Featured Locations
| Sukawana Sunrise Spot Start the day before dawn in the quiet hills of Sukawana village, near Mount Batur. This lesser-known viewpoint offers a peaceful sunrise above a sea of fog, with pine trees and the silhouette of Batur in the background. It’s a favorite location for photographers thanks to its clear view and soft morning light. Photo by Green Yang on Unsplash |
| Batur Natural Hot Springs After sunrise, unwind in a natural hot spring at the edge of Lake Batur. The mineral-rich waters come from deep within the volcano and are known for their soothing properties. Towels, lockers, and light refreshments (tea or coffee and a snack) are available on site. |
| Breakfast in Kintamani A short drive brings you to a restaurant overlooking the Batur caldera. If weather allows, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the mountain and lake while chill and having breakfast.* |
| Tegalalang Rice Terrace Conclude the tour with a visit to the Tegalalang rice terraces. These stepped fields represent the Subak irrigation system that has shaped Balinese agriculture for centuries. A brief walk here offers beautiful views and a moment to reflect before returning to your villa. Photo by Radoslav Bali on Unsplash |
