Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from Padang Bai, heading straight to a hidden culinary gem. Tucked away on a shady village road just a minute from the beach, this local warung (restaurant) has been a favourite among residents and lucky travellers since 1950. Sip an authentic lunch featuring their speciality: fresh marlin fish gently steamed in banana leaves. You’ll feast on perfectly spiced marlin satay, flavourful pepes ikan, and comforting fish soup—all prepared with the freshest local ingredients.

Next, step back in time at Tenganan Pegringsingan Village. Here, you’ll uncover ancient traditions, from the intricate art of lontar (writing on palm leaves) to the village's unique rituals, including the famous annual Pandan War. Tenganan is also the exclusive home of Gringsing, a sacred and exceedingly rare textile. It is the only fabric in Indonesia crafted using the complex double-ikat method, where both warp and weft threads are meticulously tie-dyed before hitting the loom.

The Road to Amed: Conclude your day with a breathtaking drive along winding, tree-canopied roads to coastal Amed. Relax as your driver drops you off at your accommodation.
