Join a local tour so you can see places around Bali, such as Bali dances, silver handicraft producers, Tanah Lot, Lake Sentani, Ubud (be careful of your belongings as monkeys will try to steal them, I'm serious), Goa Gajah, Tampak Siring, Pura Besakih, Kintamani, and Trunyan Village (This may be disturbing to some as dead people in this village are not buried. They are exposed but do not generate bad smell caused by decomposition). May not be able to visit all within 4 days so you need to prioritise because Bali is relatively large as compared to Phuket for instance.
Consider hiring a bicycle to travel around too

Thanks - this is a great start. I am definitely looking for a more local experience at both places and experience the more nature side of things.
Definitely planning to hire a cab or a driver for a couple of days in Bali. What is the etiquette there in terms of paying for a driver? Is it per hour? Flat rate per day? Based on where we visit? And are we do pay for a driver's meal if we have him for a full day?
Thanks!
