Things to Do in Your Bali Honeymoon
Go surfing and scuba diving (beginner-friendly!)

Many might think of Canggu Beach and Kuta Beach when it comes to surf spots in Bali, but Seminyak is also a worthy contender. Seminyak has excellent waves for beginners, and there are plenty of surf schools where you can learn and start your journey to becoming a seasoned surfer.
Bali marine diversity leaves even the most seasoned of divers awestruck, so scuba diving is also an exciting activity to try out if you want to see exotic coral reefs. Some great diving spots near Seminyak are Manta Point, Nusa Penida, Tepekong, and Mimpang.

Go on a shopping spree
