2). Island Hopping

For the more intrepid couple or a more stimulating honeymoon, Indonesia has a whopping 17,000 islands. Among the more popular near Bali itself are:

• Gili Trawangan. The most popular of the three Gili islands just a boat ride away, this is a great place for water sports. You can always extend your stay with a night in a hotel allowing you to experience the island's clubs and restaurants in the evening.
• Nusa Lembongan. Of the three Nusa islands closer still to Bali, Lembongan is just 45 minutes away by fast boat. Dive, surf, and snorkel its turquoise waters from sunny beaches, or relax in its beachside bars.
• Nusa Menjangan. If it's a quieter, more natural trip you seek away from Bali's main island, Mejjangan is part of the West Bali National Park. This is an ideal place to explore coral and its sea life in quiet, shallow waters, or check out the traditional beauty of the Segara Giri Dharma Kencana Temple.

3). Mount Batur

Mount Batur, Bali

For the best honeymooners' and couple's experience for those more adventurous, hike to the top of Mount Batur, an active volcano. At 1,717 meters (5,633 feet) above sea level, Mount Batur is a trek of a few hours from the starting point. It's a challenging walk, but providing you are reasonably fit you should be fine. Bring changes of clothes to reflect the changing weather, waterproofs in particular and, of course, decent walking shoes.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous, many hike up the mountain overnight to catch the sunrise over neighboring volcanic peaks.
