Almost 86 % population is follow Balinese Hinduism . Bali tour may take be 6-8 days overall. Here i share total itinerary for Bali Tour.
Itinerary for Bali Tour
Day 1 : Arrived at Bali and stay at hotel for first day. You can stay at KUTA for first 2-3 days. You can go for normal walk or some Disco, pubs and many more things to do. You can go for Finns Beach Club which is one of the best beach club in Bali. There are also some other good clubs you can visit like Ocean Grand Beach, Potato Head Beach Club, White Rock Beach Club, EL Carbon Bali, Infinity Beach Club etc. Among them all time famous is FINNS BEACH CLUB.
Day 2 : After Breakfast you can go for site scenes like Water Activities, Padang Padang Beach, Uluwatu Sunset Tour and Kecak dance show. In water activities you can do banana boat, jet ski, parasailing etc. ULUWATU TEMPLE is bali nine key directional temple. Uluwatu temple is one of the most beautiful temple on island. It is above 70 meter from sea level. Kecak Dance show also held near the temple. At Uluwatu temple please beware of Monkeys . Monkeys steal your stuffs specially spectacles , mobile phones etc. So don't get out your stuff. Also there is a long que for Kecak dance so reach early for it and reserve your seat. Sunset view at Uluwatu temple is stunning
Day 3 : Full Day go for Nusa Penida Island after early breakfast. At Nusa Penida you can visit 4 beaches named Kelingking beach, Angel Billabong, Broken Bay, Crystal Bay etc. Among all Crystal Bay beach is one of the famous beach. Others are also very beautiful too. Crystal bay beach photo you can see any bali tour pictures. You can go downside of Crystal bay beach by 1 hour walk downstairs rest their and also come upward same. So it will take 3-4 hours for that beach. So i suggest take more time to visit all beaches. Because you can go Island via boat which will take at least 1 hour . I also suggest to stay atleast 1 night at Nusa Penida Island to explore more and not in rush visit of beaches. Also Most tour followed by lunch during Nusa Pendia Island tour. I also suggest to take private Yacht if you are in a group of 5-10 and also can afford . That brings you more experience of beaches very closer .
Day 4 : On this day you can visit ULUN DANU BRATAN Temple , HANDARA GATE, GIT GIT WATERFALL and TANAH LOT TEMPLE . For all things you have to go early in the morning and stay limited time every places. HANDARA Gate can take atleast 4 hours because of picture taking line. If you don't take pictures with gate then you can save your time. For that you have to pay for Picture at Handara Gate and be in a que. I suggest instead of Handara gate you can spend time at waterfall. ULUN DANU BRATEN Temple and TANAH LOT Temple are very beautiful places and have more time to spend here. Locations of both temple are very stunning and from TANAH LOT Temple you can see beautiful sunset view.
Day 5 : After breakfast from hotel checkout and go to the UBUD. During travel you can visit famous Bali Swing for amazing swing activity. Before you visit Bali Swing you can visit the world expensive LUWAK Coffee making process in the way and also can visit gems gallery which is very famous for silver carving with hand. After visit both you can go for Bali Swing and rest day is leisure. In Bali swing you take at least 4-5 hours . If Time permit you can visit TEGALALANG Rice Terrace gardens , UBUD Market, Celuk Mass Village and also KINTAMANI Volcano View point. For Kintamani Volcano tour you must reach at view point before 4 pm because after 4 pm weather may change sudden and you can not see volcano mountain clearly. View point of Kintamani is amazing and worth to spend time their. After Completing all sight scenes go to the hotel and check in.
Day 6 : After breakfast at hotel you can do full day adventure activities. First you can do White River Rafting followed by lunch and then go for ATV Bike ride . River Rafting is amazing experience. It will take 4 hours at least come back and take lunch. For river rafting you will have to go downstairs for half hour walk. I suggest take waterproof mobile cover with you for recording purpose or Gopro camera. After rafting you can go for ATV ride in jungle and that also a amazing experience. Else if you do not want to do that you take rest or go for shopping in the art market of UBUD or enjoy at hotel.
Day 7 : Return home with lots of memories .
In UBUD many hotels provide floating breakfast at pool villa. I booked The Payogan villa in UBUD for 2 days. They provide 1 day floating breakfast in pool villa. Rooms and pool are amazing in Payogan Villa UBUD. In KUTA i booked Ramayana Suits which is also a beautiful property in center.

Singapore and Malaysia both are really Awesome places to Visit. Also In compare to Malaysia Singapore is more expensive too. But both places are their own beauty. You can enjoy with your family both places. You can add also Thailand in your Trip as i added it or separate Thailand trip. I recommand to separate Thailand Tour with some islands like Phuket or Krabi. Make your Trip combine of Singapore and Malaysia. Singapore currency is Singapore Dollar and Malaysia currency is Malaysian Ringgit. But you can take US Dollar at both places. Exchange your US dollar to exchange both or some good places where they can give you best rates. If you buy from your US dollar at Singapore or Malaysia then they will give remaining amount in local currency and that may little loss of your US dollar rates in exchange.
I travel Singapore - Malaysia on Flamingo Travels. I also recommand that plan your own trips and book Good hotels near famous areas and transports so you can explore more .
