Work out what you want to do first, do you want to be relaxing and pampering or getting out and experiencing the culture. You can do things from Safari Park, white water rafting, water bomb, elephant riding, temples, shopping, water sports, lembongan island, diving.
You can do just about anything, so work out the main things you would like to do first then work around that. If you want to cover Bali and you have limited time, i would suggest doing a couple of day tours to, Ubud, Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, Volcano, then another day doing white water rafting and elephant rides, then relax the rest of the time. Doing all this you will get to discover a fair bit of bali.
Book your tours when in Bali. A day should cost you around Rp 400,000 ($50). We use the same driver everytime and he now has a great website www.toursofbali.com he might be about to suggest stuff for you and give you some prices. Good luck and have fun
