Australian tourist Jane Hagman was enjoying her vacation in Legian with her husband and friends when she felt “the scariest thing ever”.

Hagman has been visiting Bali for over 30 years and says she’s never felt anything like it.

She told 7NEWS, “We were in our room on the third floor and had a jolt…then (it got) a lot stronger, and we went ‘we need to get out of here.'”

The couple ran outside and saw tourists flocking to the front desk when the shaking stopped.

“It was pretty hectic for a few minutes,” Hagman said. “The whole building was moved, it was crazy.”

“The windows were shaking and the bed was moving side to side and we were looking around like, ‘Shall we move? Do we run? And we were like, “Yeah, we need to get out of here.” “

“I felt it in Sanur, the hotel was rocking. A little scary,” one of the vacationers wrote on social media.

Another man said, “Well, that was so scary, we were in the pool and everything was moving.”

“We are in Ubud. It felt good here. One woman said, “The villa was shaking.

“I just went through my first earthquake and I can tell you. I don’t want to try anything else because it put fear inside me here in my mind.”

No significant damage has been reported at this point.
