What to Do – Kuta and Seminyak

Local surfer. A few hundred metres west of Canggu Beach , Pererenan offer good right hander, sometimes tunneling, as well as a left-hander. Learn to Dive with Eco-Friendly Aquamarine Although not a dive destination per se, Seminyak is the perfect place to learn diving, starting in the safety of a pool. It is also a good base to access more pristine parts of the island. To book a course or a dive trip, contact Aquamarine , a professional organization that takes a great care for safety and puts divers of all levels in a trusting environment.

This eco-friendly dive shop will teach you how to protect marine life while diving. It has initiated several programmes to conserve Bali 's endangered coral, such as the setting of mooring bouys around the island in cooperation with other dive shops and local partners. Learn to Dive with Eco-Friendly Aquamarine Rather than Kuta itself, Seminyak is the place to go out at night. This is a scene of open bars and night clubs, where a relaxed , unassuming crowd moves from one place to the other as the night passes.

Beware, however, that some of the friendly girls (and boys) may be prostitutes. The bars get frenetic in summer, when Europe an tourist pack as much fun as they can in this inexpensive, tropical alternative to Ibiza. Popular places go out of fashion as quickly as the monsoons change, so better ask around for the best bar of the moment, or look out for The Beat , a free publication devoted to the local party scene. Keep your ears opened for special occasions, like full-moon beach parties.

A typical night out in Seminyak would probably start with a sunset drink at Kudeta , a luxurious bar and restaurant set around a large garden opening to the beach – kept clean by the efforts of Kudeta and neigh bouring hotels. This is also a perfect place for a drink after cinner, or for a superb brunch guaranteed to cure all hangovers.
