Visit Tirta Gangga water palace
lotharscheer Says: Tirta Gangga, a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by lush garden and stone statues. The name refers to the water palace built here in 1946 by the Raja of Karangasem who was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963, buthas been lovingly...

Diving and snorkelling in the Amed area
Daihappydai Says: Thewaters of the Amed area and further north around Tulamben offer great opportunities for diving and snorkelling. Many fantastic diving spots are accessible directly from the beach. When I was in Amed I organised a dive-accommodation package through Hidden Paradise which...

Blue Star Cafe: Perfect setting, good food & charming staff
leo196 Says: The Cafe is set in a beautiful garden (including a bale) directly on the beachfront. It is very inviting and relaxed. You can stay there the whole day and just watch the sea and enjoy the simple but very good and reasonable priced food and drinks. Just in front of the Cafe...
aussiejen Says: Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Blue Moon. If it's not on the menu just ask! The food is great.The restaurant at Blue Moon is not only for hotel guests. We shared a very entertaining evening with people who had walked up from another hotel because they had heard...
Two roads leading to Amed area
Daihappydai Says: Two roads lead to the Amed area in north-east Bali. Both offer spectacular views. The most frequently used is the inland road, travelling from Amlapura past Tirta Gangga, through Abang, before reaching Culik and veering right to reach the coast and the group of small...
kyoub Says: I forgot to mention that they will also take you to use the internet.When we were at the Blue Moon there were no phone lines so no internet service either.There was an internet cafe about 15 minutes from there and they were glad to take you there. It had a small snack area...
TUCK SHOP: not only groceries!
aussiejen Says: There are not exactly a lot of shops in Amed, that's part of it's charm I think.We had been out for a drive and were dying for a cold drink so only stopped at this shop with buying a drink in mind. It was like a mini grocery store but also had lots of textiles behind locked...
Along the road sides: Try some of the strange looking fruit
kyoub Says: Stop at one of the roadside stands and buy some of the strange looking fruit that you will find there. It may look a lot different than anything that you are used to eating but most of it is quite good and it is cheapShown in the picture are bananas, salak, mangosteen,...
Daihappydai Says: Not really a tip but a sight worth seeing. Jemeluk Bay in the Amed area is home to huge fleets of 'jukung', the local fishing boats. From high on the cliffs looking down you can see rows and rows of them - a spectacular sight. The fishermen leave in the evening and are back...
kyoub Says: The coast is one small fishing village after the other. The fishermen go out to sea every evening and return at dawn.It is quite a sight to look out over the ocean and see all of the boats, with their multi colored sails, returning to shore.This is one of my favorite things...
triram Says: make sure you take good quality silicon ear plugs from any aust chemist about $10 and worth every penny!! i took the cheap type and suffered sleep degredation due to the many cockrels in bali cockadoodling all night only if your a light sleeper of course .
kyoub Says: You have probably seen the signs that warn you of falling coconuts. In Bali you have to becareful of the trees. Someone could be in the tree picking the coconuts and looking down into your open shower. What a surprise, to look up at the sky and see someone staring down at...
Helpfulness
You don't hear this in Amed, that is one of the pleasant things about being away from the larger towns.
They do have this sign posted though and I am sure just like everywhere else you have to haggle to get the right price.
Unique Suggestions: My husband thinks haggling is fun. He stands and haggles with the driver for what seems like forever until they both smile and we are on our way.
Fun Alternatives: I hate it, hate it, hate it. Tell me the price you want and I will tell you if I will take it or not.
So what do I do? I walk away until they finish haggling. If I were alone I would only go with a driver from the hotel.

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: Travel light, your bags may have to be carried up a steep flight of stairs.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You don't need much in the way of clothes a swimsuit, some tops, sarongs, and flip-flops.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring anything that you cannot live without because there is no where to get anything unless you drive into a larger town.
Photo Equipment: Bring what you will need.
Miscellaneous: The most important thing to bring is the repellent and the sunscreen. The sun is bright and when the sun goes down the mosquitos come out about dinner time.

aussiejen Says: While staying at the Blue Moon resort we got one of the guys (Ketut) to take us on a drive around the area for a couple of hours.He took us up into the hills to show us the area that he comes from. I doubt that too many tourists see this part of Bali.We stopped at his...
kyoub Says: At 3,300 feet, getting there is half the fun, especially if you decide to get there by way of the 1,700 stone stepsWe went by 4 wheel drive and it still seemed like it was quite a climbPura Lempuyang Luhur is a very important temple because of its location, at the top of the...
Fish, coral and algae - diving in the Amed area
Daihappydai Says: Great dive sites abound in the bays along the Amed strip beside the villages of Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang and Aas. There are very colorful coral gardens and marine life off the coast at Selang and a wreck of a Japanese fishing vessel that has attracted coral and marine...
Diving near the Liberty Wreck, Tulamben
Daihappydai Says: The wreck of the USAT Liberty was abandoned on the beach in Tulamben but following the eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963, it toppled over the drop-off. Now it is home to a myriad of fish, corals and other plant life. It is very easily accessed - the drop-off is just a short...
