✅ The Angel’s Billabong in Nusa Penida is beautiful. If you’re not afraid of a little climb, it’s worth going down to take a look – it’s a trip not to be missed!
✅ Finns Beach Club in Canggu is free to enter, and the atmosphere is excellent. Enjoy the scenery and water activities during the day and dance at night – definitely worth a visit.
✅ The itinerary in Surabaya can be challenging. Both volcanoes and waterfalls are worth visiting, but it’s recommended to schedule them towards the end of your Bali trip as it can be really tiring.
✅ If you have extra time, consider spending more days in Nusa Penida and Amed. Nusa Penida has stunning scenery with crystal-clear waters, while Amed is a snorkeling paradise. Snorkel during the day and enjoy the starry sky while lying on a beach chair at night – perfect for a vacation. ⛱️
