* The outdoor splendour – Bali is famous for its breathtaking geography. The island is surrounded by warm turquoise waters that lap at white sandy beaches. From quiet lagoons just right for swimming and snorkeling to more “active” beaches that call to surfers and adventure sports lovers, the waters here are ideal for year round fun. Whilst the beaches are certainly a draw, they are not the only outdoor wonder that awaits those planning Bali travel. This island is also famous for its lush tropical forests, active volcanoes, tiered rice paddies and incredible lakes and waterfalls.
* The history – Bali has a history that dates back thousands of years. Evidence of its most early inhabitants can be found in a variety of sites all over the island. From the temples in the Mount Agung complex to the wonderment of the Tanah Lot, visitors here will learn much about the peoples and cultures that have touched Bali throughout the ages. With its strong ties to the Hindu religion, holidaymakers will discover that many of the island’s most splendid outdoor attractions have also served as places connected deeply to religion through the ages.
* The culture – Balinese culture is known for its distinct arts, form of dance and cuisine. Those who plan Bali travel will find themselves arriving on a island that is known the world over for its welcoming hospitality and unique traditions.
* The adventures – Bali is one of the few places in the world where people can get up close and personal with gray monkeys, elephants and a variety of other tropical creatures all on a single vacation. If fauna doesn’t appeal, those on Bali tours will find that plenty of other adventures await. Bali tours can unlock adventures that are found nowhere else in the world. From Odyssey Submarine trips that take holidaymakers into the depths that surround the island to a trip to the 11th century Elephant Cave, there is no shortage of opportunities to do and see things that cannot be experienced anywhere else.
When an experience like nothing else is desired, Bali travel will deliver. Combining adventure, wonder and history, this legendary island offers holidaymakers an opportunity to explore paradise on earth.

1. 1 Australian Dollar = 7812 Indonesian Rupiah, as of 04 May 2009.
2. June to September are the summer months for Bali and rest of Indonesia. December to March are Indonesia's rainiest months.
3. Entering Indonesia does not really require vaccines, but it is highly recommended by Australian authorities that you get: 1) Hepatitis A shots, 2) Typhoid fever shots, and 3) Flu shots (for people who are above 50 y/o or have compromised immune systems). And Indonesia prohibits someone with AIDS from entering the country.
Please don't sit in your villa for five days because you're worried about safety. There's always the small, but persistent chance of another bombing. However, the same could be said about almost any major city or site of previous terrorist attack. Bali on the whole is an extremely safe place, and apart from the bombings that have happened intermittently you don't have much to worry about.
If you're that worried, why not get off the beaten path and avoid all the tourist traps anyway? Your vacation probably won't be ruined if you don't go out every night to nightclubs packed with foreigners on Kuta beach, and you might actually learn something about Bali and Indonesia. Again, there's always the threat, but don't let that ruin your vacation.
Good choice, travelling alone in bali is safe. Given that you will be going there round christmas/new year, there will be greater security presence. As a precaution, avoid going to the major tourist night life area during the festive occassion,
