    Getting to the various islands is very convenient. Just check your ticket information beforehand, take a taxi (or motorbike) to the designated location, and you'll easily find a place to exchange your tickets for paper tickets! Then, go to the port early and ask the staff for directions.

    _M1***67_M1***67

    This was the cheapest trip on Ctrip, with Bintang. Overall, it was pretty decent. There was a bit of a hike before and after the rafting, which was a bit strenuous. The rafting was family-friendly and not too stimulating. The kids had a lot of fun, but it might be a little lacking for adults. The rafting lasted two hours, which was a bit boring. At the end of the rafting, there was a buffet of chicken, fried noodles, and vegetables, which were surprisingly good.

    山中小兰花山中小兰花

    352 yuan buy one get one free is such a good deal, what else can you ask for at this price? The base looks very simple, but the experience is worth it for the price. We arrived at 5 pm and waited for 40 minutes for the last flight. It was very safe. My parents didn't even think it was exciting at all, too stable, hahaha. Of course, young people can also talk to the instructor to fly more exciting flights.

    This is a free attraction. It is called a palace, but it is actually very small. If it were in China, it would be just a slightly larger villa. The carvings on the building are quite beautiful, with a Southeast Asian style.

    Uluwatu Temple, perched on a cliffside, is one of Bali's most famous seaside temples. The spectacular ocean views and sunsets make it well worth a visit. However, beware of the monkeys; they might snatch your hat, glasses, or phone!
