Travel Tips

  • Hire a private driver for day trips ($30-50/day)
  • Dress modestly at temples (sarongs usually provided)
  • The Ubud area is cooler and greener than the south coast
  • Try a traditional Balinese massage and spa treatment
  • Negotiate prices at markets — start at 30% of the asking price

Getting There & Around

No public transport to speak of. Hire a private driver (very affordable) for the most comfortable way to explore. Ride-hailing apps (Grab, Gojek) work well in tourist areas. Roads can be congested, especially around Kuta and Seminyak. Scooters are popular but risky.
