The World Unlocked

Take a camel ride

Yes that's right. Bali might not be the first destination that comes to mind when you think of camel rides.
But at Bali Camel Safaris you can take a ride across the beach from the Nikko Bali Resort.
Try the lunch or dinner package and stop to eat on the beach with your camel safely tied up. It's an experience not to be missed.

Pura Gegar

This famous temple nestled in twisted ancient tree trunks overlooks the sea from a high cliff.
The trek to get here is worth it for the stunning views out across the water.
Make sure you have your phone at the ready to capture that Instagram perfect moment when the sun goes down.

Travel to Turtle Island

Also known as Serangan Island, you can get here via a short boat or road trip direct from Nusa Dua.
There is a turtle conservation centre on the island dedicated to treating injured turtles and returning them to the wild.
If you're lucky they might have a new batch of baby hatchlings ready to be returned to the sea when they are strong enough.

See Puja Mandala

Puja Mandala means the "Hill of Worship" in Indonesian. This fascinating place represents the 5 major religions in Indonesia.
You'll see a Buddist temple, Hindu temple, Islamic mosque, Catholic and Protestant church, all at the same location.
The whole complex is a testament to religious tolerance in Indonesia and there are regular festivals and shows throughout the year.

Try some amazing watersports

Nusa Dua is well known as one of the best spots for watersports on the island.
Try snorkeling straight from Nusa Dua beach, take a boat out with a local fisherman or try a glass bottom vessel. There is also jet-skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides and even flyboarding. If the wind gets up, then don't despair, that's the perfect opportunity to try kite boarding or parasailing.
