Your day starts with a visit to Batubulan village to see the famous Barong Dance of Bali, a story telling dance, narrating the fight between good and evil. This dance is the classic example of the Balinese way of acting out mythology, resulting in myth and history being blended into one reality. From here, the tour continues to the village of Mas, famous for its intricate woodcarving. Visit the village workshops and marvel as the immensely talented woodcarvers fashion items from a variety of ebony and other hardwoods.

The tour then visits the fantastic Elephant Cave. Dating from around 700 ago, the cave temple is caved into rock on a steep hillside and was rediscovered in the 1920s and further excavation discovered fountains and bathing pools in the 1950s. Moving into the cool volcanic mountains of Kintamani, view Mount Batur with its ribbons of black lava running down its peak into the valley below that reveals the shimmering lake of Batur. Here there is plenty of free time to enjoy the wonderdul views or take lunch (own expense) in one of the local restaurants.

On the return journey, the tour stops at the Holy springs which are believed to have magic curative powers and visits Ubud, the artistic heart of Bali and Celuk, the gold and silver making center.
