Just a few steps north of Denpasar in Bali, you''ll find Balikpapan Indonesia. Balikpapan is a small fishing village and the name of the village reflects this: "Bali''s Smallest Fishing Village." In fact, the village is so small that not even a car trip with a tour group from Singapore would take more than two hours. The village is located at the head of the famous Mount Batur trek, which rises just above sea level. Here, you''ll have the unique opportunity to view some of the most stunning landscape you''ll ever see.
The waters of this pristine lagoon are clean and safe for human consumption. The lagoon is served by a number of private and state-owned harbors. Every day, hundreds of boats make their way to Bali to catch fish. Each boat has its own skipper and cook. It''s worth visiting even if you''re just there to try out the local cuisine. Once you''ve tried the delicious seafood delicacies, I''m sure you''ll be back for more.
