Destinations on Bali: from the rice fields to the quiet north coast
Bali is smaller than it looks on the map, but bigger than it feels in a traffic jam. From the airport in the south to the north coast is a three to four hour drive. Most tourists stay in the south and around Ubud. We also take you to the east, the mountains and the north, where Bali is quieter and greener. Below you see for each place what you do there and how long the drive is.
