Bali: Ujung Water Palace, Candidasa and Sidemen Village Tour
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Bali's hidden gems, exploring the serene Ujung Water Palace, the tranquil village of Candidasa, and the picturesque Sidemen Village—all in one enriching day.
Overview
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, setting the stage for a day filled with cultural and natural wonders. As you venture into Eastern Bali, often referred to as the "New Bali," you'll be captivated by its remote beauty, characterized by scenic mountains and ancient temples.
The first highlight of your tour is the Taman Ujung Water Palace, a historical site that showcases a unique blend of Dutch, Arabic, and Balinese architectural styles. Despite suffering damage from Mount Agung's eruption in 1963, the palace has been meticulously restored, allowing visitors to wander through its network of pools and historic structures set against a stunning coastal backdrop.
Continuing along the coastline, you'll arrive at Candidasa Village, a serene locale that offers breathtaking views of Nusa Penida Island. This less-touristic area provides a peaceful retreat where you can observe traditional salt farmers at work, gathering some of the world's finest sea salt. Engage with local artisans in Kusamba to learn about traditional salt-panning methods and even try your hand at this age-old practice.
The journey then leads you to Sidemen Village, renowned for its lush rice terraces and agricultural valleys near Mount Agung. Here, you can explore the verdant landscapes, interact with local farmers, and gain insight into Bali's rich agricultural heritage. The village's tranquil environment offers a perfect setting for relaxation and reflection.
To further enrich your tour, consider optional activities such as a traditional Balinese massage, a coffee tasting session featuring the famous Luwak coffee, or an exhilarating jungle swing experience. These add-ons are designed to provide a personalized touch to your journey, catering to diverse interests and preferences.
