What to expect

Start with the Barong Kris performance, a theatrical retelling rooted in Balinese Hindu beliefs where dancers in elaborate fanged masks and flowing manes portray the fight between protective and destructive forces. The choreography blends myth and lived reality into a single dramatic narrative. After the show, you'll head to Blue Lagoon for snorkelling. The water here hosts healthy coral formations and schools of reef fish in relatively shallow, sheltered waters. Bring your own swimwear; showers and changing rooms are available afterward. Lunch is provided midway through the day.
