In recent years, South Africans have flocked to Bali to bask in its beauty. Bali has become a go-to destination for honeymoons and it’s not difficult to see why. With picturesque landscapes, stunning beaches for swimming, surfing and a one-of-a-kind culture, Bali holds endless opportunities for fun and romantic honeymoon activities. Here are some that are not to be missed.
Watch the sunset at Uluwatu Temple
There is nothing that says romance better than a sunset. Standing at the temple, with a drink in hand, staring out at the vast sea and setting sun will surely be a fond memory.
Have a candle-lit dinner at Swept Away Restaurant (The Samaya Ubud)
Like a scene from a movie, Swept Away Restaurant offers you a candle-lit dinner by the river. A six course menu and your pick of wine tops off the experience.
Visit The Gates of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple
If you want to get some amazing snapshots for your honeymoon photo album, this is where you’ll get them. The temple is located in the East of Bali, just over 2 hours away from Ubud. There are also other temples inside, which makes for a day of sightseeing and exploring.
Stroll through Balai Gili
The ‘water palace’ garden is sure to leave you in awe. You can have a romantic picnic and watch the fish in the water, then take a walk through the garden and admire the scenery.
Take a dip at one of the many waterfalls
Bali is home to a multitude of waterfalls, there are so many to choose from; there is the Tegenungan waterfall, the Git Git Waterfall, and the Sekumpul Waterfall, to name a few. Swimming seems so much more romantic and adventurous when there is a waterfall involved.
Explore the Rice Terraces
It may not sound like much, but when you finally catch a glimpse of the rice fields you will be in awe of its beauty. You can walk through the steep rice fields and build up an appetite, then have some lunch and continue staring in admiration.
Get on top of the world at the Kamandalu Swing
Unforgettable views and a sense of adventure and excitement is what you’ll get from visiting the Kamandalu Swing. While the most of the other famous swings in Bali only take one person at a time, this tandem swing accommodates two people which makes it the perfect one for a honeymoon activity. It has also become one of the top Instagram spots in Bali, if you’re looking to add some amazing shots to your feed.
Go horseback riding on the beach
You can have a 2 hour long horseback ride on the beach with The Bali Equestrian Centre. Along the way you’ll see not only the beach, but also various temples and villages and you may even cross a creek or two. You’ll be escorted by an expert.
Go scuba diving or snorkeling
There are quite a few locations where you could go snorkeling or scuba diving, but at Tulamben you can see a US liberty Ship Wreck and catch a glimpse of the coral fish at the same time. History and adventure all in go.
Visit the Marigold Fields
The marigold is a significant part of culture in Bali. Its striking colour is commonly associated with the Supreme Balinese God. You can pay a visit to the marigold fields and enjoy the view. This is yet another destination in Bali that makes for a great photo opportunity too.
