Going to Bali is almost a rite of passage for Aussies \u2013 here’s the Listopedia Bucket List for Bali first timers.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Beach<\/h2>\n

Up in the hills, away from the bustle of the beach and the busy streets,\u00a0Ubud<\/a>\u00a0is known for its peace and serenity. Check into a hotel, book into a yoga workshop or visit just for the day and check out the artist galleries, rice paddy fields and stunning scenery.<\/p>\n

Thirst Quenchers<\/h2>\n

At the end of a long day sightseeing, shopping or sitting out in the sun, many would agree there\u2019s nothing better than an icy cold Bintang beer down at one of the beach bars. You\u2019ll see plenty of people doing just that, possibly wearing a Bintang singlet. Once you\u2019ve quenched your thirst, grab a seat at one of the beachside restaurants for fresh grilled fish. If you\u2019re after something a little more luxe, The Rock Bar at\u00a0Ayana Resort and Spa<\/a>\u00a0is perched dramatically on the edge of a cliff at Jimbaran Bay. It\u2019s an extra special spot for a proposal or just a romantic drink. Tip: you\u2019ll have to wait in line to ride the inclinator down to the bar but the stairs through the resort which are usually a faster option.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/h2>\n

Bali is a treasure trove for shopping. The markets at\u00a0Kuta<\/a>, Ubud and\u00a0Sukawati<\/a>\u00a0are buzzing with people and stalls selling all sorts of knick knacks. Kuta\u2019s Discovery Shopping Centre draws big crowds and there are plenty of edgy boutiques in Seminyak. Pop into Skull, where you can pick up hand printed passport holders or stop by Kody & K for a resin Buddha. Just don\u2019t forget animal products and wooden items will need to be declared.<\/p>\n

Adventure<\/h2>\n

Waterbom Bali, a water theme park, has a reputation for being fun for kids of all ages. If you don\u2019t want to spend the day whirling through water rides, try white water rafting (you\u2019ll still get wet!), high ropes courses or a visit to\u00a0Kintamani Volcano<\/a>. More sedate activities include a\u00a0cycle<\/a>\u00a0past rice paddy fields and temples.<\/p>\n

Water Wonders<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s plenty of natural beauty in Bali and the waterfalls are a big draw card. The\u00a0Gigit Waterfalls<\/a>\u00a0are located to the south of Singaraja, around 70km from Denpasar. Spanning 40m, the waterfalls plunge into a pool popular with tourists. Locals will tell you couples who swim together will separate, so enter at your own risk.<\/p>\n

Make a Difference<\/h2>\n

The locals are one of the best parts about Bali \u2013 friendly and always ready to give point lost tourists in the right direction, but there are some not so fortunate. Start a collection before you leave and drop off some donations \u2013 shoes, books, toys – to one of the orphanages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
