Most of the locations are easily accessible through popular car rental services. Estimated transportation costs as per tourist standards: $15 - $25 per day on average.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, visit the less traveled eastern part of Bali or explore the island of Lombok. If you have less time, eliminate a few stops, or consider extending the stay at a particular location. Bali can get extremely crowded during peak season, always check the weather and avoid weekends when planning your itinerary. '''
