Get some brochures at the airport or your hotel & choose just a couple of tours to do. Pick one that will take you around the countryside, so you can see how beautiful Bali really is. Don't judge Bali from the sights you'll see on the trip from the airport to your hotel.
I have heard good reports about the elephant park too, where you can ride an elephant through the jungle.
Consider seeing a Balinese dance - the Barong dance (day) & the Kecak dance (at night) are both popular.
Bali is a culinary delight too, so don't just eat at your hotel. There are heaps of restaurant recommendations on this forum - be adventurous and you will be rewarded with some of the yummiest food. The tropical fruits & juices are to die for!
Don't do too much at once - you will have plenty of time to do the things you missed NEXT time you come to Bali! Believe me - there will be a next time! I have been going to Bali for 20 years!
