Bali, for ecofriendly diving and snorkelling

Bali has long been seen as the ultimate tropical holiday destination, with sun-drenched beaches for surfing, diving and snorkelling, plus jungles to explore. With an estimated 10,000 temples, it’s also known as the Island of the Gods. All this has resulted in dramatic overtourism in recent decades, so the island is more than ready to reap the benefits of ecotourism, offering plenty of ways to travel responsibly. Fancy snorkelling with turtles, swimming in tropical waterfalls and taking part in a local cooking masterclass? Book a spot on Culture Trip’s 12-day Bali itinerary.
