Candidasa is a former fishing village. The population is friendly, helpful and nearly always smiling. The Hindu religion is the basis for their tolerance. The village has 25 restaurants of different prices and quality. It is more peaceful when compared to the more touristic southern part of the Island. Boat trips are organized by the local fishermen, who take you to the underwater gardens for snorkeling, diving and fishing. A lot of small shops in the village show you the special crafts of the area. Candidasa is not far from Tirtagangga, Tenganan, Ujung Water Palace, Besakih Temple, Ubud, Semarapura and other places of interest. Bicycles are for rent and guides are available for trekking through the beautiful Sawahs (rice fields).
