rent a car and chauffeur for a day, can easily cover the volcano(kitamani), rice paddies, ubud, tanah lot in a day.

but like that would be quite rushing.. cannot enjoy the full experience of everything.. my exp, you need at least 2-3 days to clear all.. even three days to me is kinda rushing.. lol..

chak chak chak chak chak~

I recommend going to Ubud.

Food-wise, KuDeTa is nice but $$ (remember to make reservations).

Bali has one of the highest hotel taxes...ard 21%, so either you have hotel points (use them), or get rate inclusive of taxes.

The car rental with driver and petrol inclusive at 350k is pretty good. For how long is that? I'm getting mine at 450k for 12 hrs. :)

If you can share where you got your quotes for the watersports, please do. :)
