5 Fun Attractions in Legian, Indonesia Aside from Beaches


If you stay at Bliss Surfer Hotel in Legian, Bali, Indonesia, you will have an easy time enjoying the gorgeous beaches and surf spots in the area. But aside from swimming and surfing, there are other fun places and activities here that your whole family or group can experience during your stay.

Visit GWK Park
The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Park is the perfect destination for families and friends who would like to learn and experience Bali's culture and heritage. This 240-acre cultural site features a 150-meter statue of Lord Wisnu and his mythical bird companion Garuda. Besides this, Balinese performances, authentic local cuisine, segway rides, and unique souvenirs at GWK shops are found here.

Tanjung Benoa Water Sports
If you really cannot separate yourself from the clear and cool waters of Legian, then go to Tanjung Benoa Water Sports and try some extreme activities. If you are up for a challenge, parasailing, jet skiing, and fly fishing activities offer the thrill you've been looking for. If you prefer a slower pace, suit up and go snorkeling or grab the entire gang and ride the banana boat.

Bali Zoo
Regardless of age, the chance to see wild and exotic animals is always a welcome treat. Here in Bali Zoo, you can check out up to 350 species in a 22-hectare diverse environment. Most of these creatures, like the Sumatran Elephant, Sumatran Tiger, Orangutan, Sun Bear, and Binturong, are indigenous to Indonesia. This zoo also has a mini gallery, gardens, and facilities where you can feed and pet these animals. Lastly, the zoo also has a gift shop where you can get souvenirs before heading back to your Legian, Bali hotel.

Ubud Art Village
Speaking of souvenirs to remember your trip by, Ubud Art Village presents travelers with some of the finest handmade items. Here, you can watch local artisans in action as they create beautiful paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. There are also establishments here that sell woven bags, clay pots, ceramics, and home fixtures and accessories. Aside from the art pieces and keepsakes, the village also has rice fields, gardens, and temples that you can visit.

Bali Marine Safari Park
Like the zoo, you can also get up close to many animal species here in the park. But aside from offering a large collection of animals and the chance to pet and feed these cute creatures, this park aims to educate its visitors on a deeper level. Aside from bringing the wild closer to the people, Bali Marine Safari Park also breeds and protects these animals to ensure their future survival and well-being. Although this place is 40 km from Bliss Surfer Hotel, you will have no trouble getting a ride as this particular hotel in Legian also offers cars for rent.
