No. You never pay online and never pay upfront. You pay in cash, in person, after the tour, once the day is done and you are happy.
In cash, in Indonesian rupiah, in person at the end of the tour. We never take online payments.
Yes. Book directly through this website or on Instagram and you get 10% off. No middlemen.
A day or two ahead is usually enough. Send a WhatsApp message with your dates and we confirm quickly, often within the hour.
Yes, there are plenty of ATMs in all tourist areas such as Ubud, Sanur, Seminyak, Canggu and Kuta. Use machines inside banks, shops or shopping centres, cover the keypad, and expect a fee from your home bank. In remote villages and on Nusa Penida there are fewer ATMs, so take enough cash before a day trip.
Bali uses the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Prices are often written with a k for thousand, so 50k means 50,000 rupiah.
Hotels, larger restaurants and shops usually accept cards. Small warungs, markets, temple entrances and parking usually take cash only, so always carry some rupiah.
Exchange money at banks or authorised money changers with clear signs and printed rates. Count your money before you leave the counter, and be careful with offers that look much better than everywhere else.
Tipping is not required in Bali, but it is appreciated if you are happy with the service. Many restaurants already add a service charge to the bill.
We pick you up directly at your hotel or villa anywhere in Bali and drop you off there at the end of the day. Pickup is always included.
A private, air-conditioned car, a local English-speaking driver and hotel pickup and drop-off. Your quote is all-in, so you know the full price before you decide.
Most guests choose three or four stops for a relaxed day. Driving times on Bali are longer than the distances suggest, so we plan each day around one region.
Yes. You can mix places from any of our experience groups or ask us to plan the day. We go at your pace, and if you want to change plans halfway through the day or stay longer somewhere you love, that's fine.
Tours are private and small, with a maximum of 5 guests per car, so the day stays personal. For larger groups we simply add more cars and drivers from our team.
Yes. With several cars and a small team of local drivers, we host solo travellers, couples, families and small groups, and every day is planned around you.
Yes. I Komang and his team of local drivers all speak fluent English and were born and raised in Bali.
We start around 4 am and walk about two hours to the 1,717 m summit, then watch the sun rise over Mount Agung and Lake Batur. It is much cooler up there, so bring a jacket.
Nusa Penida is about 45 minutes by fast boat from Sanur. On the island a private car takes you to Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and a snorkel stop. On windy days we simply move the trip to another date.
Early in the morning, before the crowds. The rice fields are greenest in the wet season from November to March.
It is a forest temple in the middle of Ubud with more than a thousand long-tailed macaques, mossy statues and huge banyan trees. Keep sunglasses and snacks in your bag.
Wild dolphins gather off Lovina on the north coast in the early morning. We leave very early so you're on the water in a traditional outrigger boat when the sun comes up.
Yes, at Manta Point off Nusa Penida, where reef manta rays with wings up to three metres across come to feed in clear water. Manta rays are protected in Indonesia and are enjoyed from a respectful distance.
The dry season from April to October is the best time to visit Bali. May, June and September are dry and less crowded than the peak months of July and August.
Yes, tours run all year. From November to March it usually rains hard for an hour or two in the afternoon and is sunny the rest of the day.
Yes. Foreign visitors pay a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person when they arrive. Visa rules change often, so check the official Indonesian immigration website before you fly.
Bottled or filtered water is the way to go. We always have cold water in the car.
Bali's roads are steep and winding. If you like to ride a scooter, bring a helmet, a valid motorbike licence and an International Driving Permit, and some experience on mountain roads. Or simply sit back and let us drive you.
Nyepi is the Balinese New Year, usually in March. For 24 hours nobody works or travels, the airport closes and even visitors stay in their hotels.
Ubud is about 35 km from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). Because Bali's roads are busy and winding, the drive usually takes one to two hours depending on traffic.
People in Bali speak Balinese and Indonesian. English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and tourist areas, and a few words of Balinese, like suksma for thank you, are always appreciated.
Bali uses Central Indonesian Time (WITA), which is UTC+8. There is no daylight saving time.
Bali uses European-style sockets, type C and F, with 230 V. Bring an adapter if your plugs are different.
Traffic in Bali drives on the left.
Tourist SIM cards and eSIMs are easy to buy at the airport, in phone shops and online before you travel. Bring your passport, because SIM cards in Indonesia are registered to the buyer.
Bali is generally a safe and welcoming place for visitors. Take the usual care with bags and phones in busy places, be very careful in traffic, and at the beach only swim where it is safe and marked, because currents can be strong.
The general emergency number in Indonesia is 112. Save the address of your hotel and your travel insurance details on your phone.
Yes, use mosquito repellent, especially in the early morning and around sunset. Dengue fever occurs in Bali, so protecting yourself from bites is the best prevention.
Sunscreen, a hat, comfortable shoes, cash in rupiah and a light jacket for the cooler highlands around Kintamani and Bedugul. Bring swimwear if your day includes a waterfall or snorkelling.
Wear a sarong and a sash, and cover your shoulders and knees. Most temples lend them at the entrance.
Bali is called the Island of Gods, Pulau Dewata, because nearly nine in ten Balinese follow Balinese Hinduism. There are more than 20,000 temples, and small offerings called canang sari are laid out every morning.
They are canang sari: small palm-leaf baskets with flowers, rice and incense, placed on shrines, doorsteps and car dashboards every morning. They are walked around with care.
Everyone pauses and watches; processions always have right of way. People are happy to be photographed when you ask first.
