💡 Tips

  • Visit the rice fields during the 'golden hour' right after sunrise for the most memorable photo lighting.
  • Rent a scooter to easily navigate the village's narrow 'gangs' (alleys) and shortcuts to nearby areas.
  • Be mindful of the daily offerings (canang sari) placed on the ground; avoid stepping on them.
  • Enjoy the authentic 'old Bali' vibe in Cemagi before heading to the busier clubs in Canggu.
  • Check the tide times if you plan to walk along the black sand beach toward Seseh.
