Bali Travel Guide: 6,300 reviews and 15,209 photos

Sails

Sit back and watch the colourful fishing boats. They take to the sea in late evening or before dawn.
You can see them all returning in the late morning with their catch.
Every sail has a different pattern, turning the horizon into a corourful event.

Sunset

There is nothing like a beautiful sunset, especially on Bali.
Relax after a busy day and watch the sun light up the sky in many shades of red and orange.

Purnama

Full Moon

Many of the temple festivals in the mountain villages are on purnama (the full moon).
Whether you chose to go to a festival or just want to watch the glow on the water, there is nothing like a full moon in Bali.

Sounds like you love Bali! So close, and I have never been, but by your photos, I most probably should!

Bali seems like such an exotic destination! I can see why you'd love watching the sailboats in the morning...so idyllic! The water palace was so beautiful; the kookaburra's so different and the hot springs...I could soak a long while in them.

Great job! Water Palace and Gardens look georgeous! Great shot of Kookaburra bird. I enjoyed your warning on gangs of mischievous monkeys :-))) I'd like to taste these numerous and unknown to me fruits.

Never made it to the public baths. Must make mental note to visit it next time around.
