Bali Zoo is accessible from Kuta and offers an unforgettable breakfast experience where you can eat being surrounded by orangutans, elephants and birds.
If you're not an early bird, the guided night tour lets you feed elephants from a double-decker bus and enjoy a Brazilian dinner and a traditional fire show.
Want to see more and spend more time with animals? With 40 hectares to explore, a visit to the Bali Safari and Marine Park is sure to hit the spot. Within its borders are 400 residents from Indonesia, Africa and India, including elephants, tigers and orangutans.
There's even an opportunity to feed piranhas and white tigers if you're brave enough.
A 2am wake-up call may not sound enticing, but we promise it's worth it to see sunrise views from the peak of Mount Batur.
When you arrive, you will be given a quick briefing, then commence the approximate 3-hour trek to the peak. Take in the views and enjoy a local breakfast before making your way back down.
