   The Bali glass bridge

   The bridge crosses a gorge near Blangsinga, east of Ubud, about sixty-six metres above the river — and its floor is glass. You walk out along it with the jungle canopy on either side and the river directly under your feet, which takes a moment to get used to; the staff hand out cloth overshoes so the glass stays clear. It is the longest glass bridge in Indonesia, and the view from the middle is the reason to come: the gorge, the waterfall at its head, and the forest running down to the water.

   Tegallalang rice terraces

   The terraces at Tegallalang are the ones on the postcards: steps of rice cut into a steep valley side, kept green by the subak — the village irrigation system that Bali has used for a thousand years and that UNESCO now lists. A path runs along the top of the valley and down through the fields, past the shrines the farmers keep among the paddies. The colour depends on the season — bright green when the rice is young, gold before harvest — and the guide knows which stretch is at its best that month.

   A coffee plantation and Kopi Luwak

   On a plantation in the hills you walk among the coffee, cocoa, vanilla and clove trees, see the luwak — the civet cat whose digestion gives Kopi Luwak its name — and watch the beans being roasted over a wood fire. Then you sit at a table on the terrace with a row of small cups: the plantation's teas and coffees, ginger, lemongrass and coconut, with a cup of the Kopi Luwak itself to try. Everything is grown on the land you are looking at, and you can buy what you liked to take home.

Rather plan the day yourselves? Take the car and the driver-guide on their own: eight hours for 500,000 rupiah or $30, and you choose where the day goes. Ask about the driver service · How the driver day works
