Since in Sanur, it is especially for nothing to do, except for places of an air serpent or a little sunbathing, it is best to contact your guide and ask about excursions. Excursions, good, quite a few! Well, excursions are carried out in Russian, because the island is very popular among our compatriots, and in general there are a lot of our expatons there. So, that's what you can offer in the tourist agencies of Sanur:
1) Crafts
It is worth noting that there are many traditional villages on the island that are engaged in different types of crafts. Some have long become local attractions. Here, for example, the Gianyar and Ubud, that in the central part of Bali. In Ubud, each settlement in the complex specializes in a certain form of crafts - woodwasher, clay products, decorations, etc. Well, just think about how these items are born, it is insanely interesting. Some tours include visiting the coffee plantations, where you will see how the most noble drink appears, and where you can try the most expensive and elite variety of coffee in the world (Luvak). Such an excursion will cost you at least 25-30 bucks, but it lasts from 4 to 7 hours. If you drive with young children, choose a four-hour.
2) Park of Birds and Reptiles + Bali Zoo
This is "Mast Si" for families with children. In addition, the sanora is completely close to go (15-20 minutes). You can come to the park and on your own taxi and take in a faithful guide on the spot. And you can trust this mini travel to your guide and give 50 dollars for it. Bird Park is located on the territory of 2 hectares, and there lives 250 bird species there. Moreover, birds are not in cells! Parrots, Flamingo, Pelicans are walking along the path paths. And you can see how the chicks in a special incubator hatch!
The zone with reptiles is no less interesting: turtles, snakes, Varana, Iguana and even crocodiles!
Include in this "zoological tour" and the zoo, the benefit of it is next. This is the first and only zoo on Bali (operating since 2002). The zoo contains about 350 species of rare animals. Most of all tourists attracted the suction tigers - it's the smallest on the planet (although you can't say so). And the kids-tigrite you will even be allowed to take on your arms and take a picture! Excursion program includes even feeding Lviv and Tigers! There are nightlife, as well as tours in the horse harness or ordinary hiking. I think the zoo is accurately impressed. What is one leopard, who was distinguished by a whole canyon for living! In general, the excursion is quite long, 5-6 hours, no less, but very interesting!
3) Taman Nusa Cultural Park
The park is located in 15 hectares. It is not far from Ubud, in the area of the Gianyar (therefore, it often is often united with a zoo and bird park). What is good park? This is a collection of unique architecture of various Indonesia regions. Total about 80 objects. In addition to museums, you will find here typical houses for each region, where you can even look inside, and, most interesting, chat with residents of a wide variety of islands that work in the park. It is very interesting that it is stored in these houses - real original furniture, utensils, decorations. The park was built somewhere seven years. Some buildings were built on the spot, some parts were transported entirely. In general, the richest culture of Indonesia is wonderfully presented in this park, and thoroughly in detail. Excursion to the park will last at least 4 hours.
4) quadrocycles
Such a tour can also offer every self-respecting agency. Ride on a quad bike, if any of you tried, very fun! And the quad route passes through the wonderful beaches with black sand, lush jungle, rice plantations and even the river. Do not worry if you never sat on a similar unit - before the start of the trip you will be taught that yes, as. If so afraid - it's better to fit the machine together (it will be cheaper). On an excursion you can take children from 12 years. Tour lasts about two hours, and it is very interesting! And capture with you shift - it is likely that you will arrive back on the ears in the mud)
5) Battur volcano
The main fear and the pride of the Balinese, the active volcano Battur, which in the northeast of Bali. Before the volcano from Sanur a little more than an hour. And what beautiful places! Lift to the mountain as part of the excursion group is worth not more than 200-350 thousand rupees ($ 20-35) - a shuttle service to volcano, a guide and breakfast service.
And you can also use the services of local guides (it will cost you somewhere in 500 thousand rupees, but you can bargain). The guide may accompany a group of not more than 4 people. Independently on the mountain, theoretically, you can also go up, but here there are my moments (lifting the mountain has become a long-established business, but to produce "free" tourists to the mountain to the local "groupings" somehow hurt, so they will resist and prove that the rise without Guide on the volcano is prohibited). It's cooler to climb the volcano at night, to then meet the dawn, well, and the plus is not so hot to climb how day.
On the other hand, go at night in the slope is not easy. The tour, of course, is not suitable for children, as it is a physically difficult lesson (well, only if teenage children). But species, damn, just unreal! If you climb the volcano at night, be sure to wear the jacket and you can even capture the cap. On the slope of the volcano there is a cafe with adequate, by the way, prices. And of course, it will not be without omnipresent hungry monkeys. After the volcano, you are most likely a surrounding platform, which offers stunning views of the battur volcano.
6) Kingdom Karangase
A trip to the eastern part of the island, in principle, is suitable for children and adults. True, the smallest will be tedious and not very interesting, since the tour lasts hours 6-8. First of all, Karangase is "water palaces" with fountains, temples, caves, rice fields. Luxurious and unusual! After a tour of the beach with black and white sand (take a swimwear and towels with you). Yes, tourists come here often come here, but still tourism is not so much developed in this area, as in the south of the island, so you will have the opportunity to see the "non-neuristic" Bali.
