Transportation around Bali can be tricky, but the most common way is to rent a scooter, which costs approximately 50,000-80,000 IDR per day. If you're not comfortable renting a scooter, consider hiring a private driver, which can range from 500,000 IDR to 1,000,000 IDR per day depending on your itinerary. For island transfers, book a fast boat ride for approximately 150,000-300,000 IDR per person. Always negotiate a price with taxi drivers before getting in.
If you have more time, consider adding Nusa Lembongan and the Gili Islands to your itinerary, which are day-trip accessible from Bali. Alternatively, subtract a day from the beach destinations and consider visiting the serene Sidemen Valley. Remember to dress modestly when visiting temples, and always carry cash for small purchases or entry fees.
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is Bali's main airport, located approximately 13 km south of Denpasar city, and is approximately 25 km away from Kuta. With direct flights from most major cities, expect to pay between £450 and £600 round trip from London, and transfer times to your accommodation will vary depending on traffic.
