Second: Island Hopping for Photos
The second activity is heading to Nusa Penida, an offshore island of Bali. To reach Nusa Penida faster, they specifically stayed in Sanur, which has a pier and takes just 30 minutes by boat. The next morning, they joined a day trip to Nusa Penida. Their first stop was Crystal Bay, a Wi-Fi-free, completely secluded paradise where they planned to soak in the beauty and forget the world. Upon arrival, they expected a small group of 30 to 40 people, but instead, over 150 people came ashore together, swarming out like a flock of ducks. Surprisingly, they were assigned to private small sightseeing cars, with four people per group, making it feel much more relaxed.

After arriving on Nusa Penida, they leisurely enjoyed breakfast, drank beer, and played with stray dogs on the beach at Crystal Bay. Although she felt the beach scenery there wasn’t outstanding, the water was as clear as Long Ke Wan. Next, they headed to other famous spots like Angels Billabong and Broken Beach. Despite the crowds, the geological landscapes there were still incredibly striking. Finally, they arrived at a dinosaur-shaped turquoise beach, where the water displayed beautiful gradients of blue, leaving them in awe.

Experiencing unique accommodations in Bali is a must. They stayed at a rustic bamboo villa in Ubud, which cost just HKD 2,000 (approx. USD $65) per night and came with a private pool, kitchen, and two bedrooms—an incredible value. The villa’s design was ingenious, with a private pool at the entrance and a lounge area by the pool perfect for small parties. The second floor featured an en-suite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking an open-air shower area, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. From the terrace, they could enjoy mountain views, making it an ideal spot for sightseeing and sipping drinks.
4. Bali Swing

Beyond admiring the scenery, trying the swing is a must-do in Bali. They visited Aloha Ubud, which features six swing photo spots. The entrance fee was just HKD 200 (approx. USD $6) per person, and they could even rent various wedding gowns for dreamy bridal photos. The staff carefully guided them on poses and angles to capture the perfect shot. While women could swing longer for photos, men were only allowed a few brief swings to avoid potential danger. However, safety ropes ensured everyone’s well-being.

5. Instagram-Worthy Waterfall

The final stop of the trip was a hidden waterfall famous in the Ubud area. They had to walk a short mountain path to see the magnificent waterfall panorama, which was packed with people taking photos. However, the spot offers thoughtful basic facilities like lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms. It only takes 5 minutes to reach the waterfall photo area. The staff there are very professional, guiding visitors on angles and poses, and she was happy to tip for the best views. For next time, she suggests bringing an extra change of clothes, as swimming in the waterfall can leave you feeling chilly.
Ubud is not only famous for its culture and art but also boasts breathtaking natural landscapes, with waterfalls being a must-visit. Three well-known waterfalls near Ubud: Tegenungan Waterfall, Kanto Lampo Waterfall, and Tukad Cepung Waterfall. Check out this guide to the three major waterfalls around Ubud
