Tips for your Bali trip
- Hire a driver for day trips rather than renting a scooter if you are not experienced — traffic around Kuta and Seminyak is chaotic, roads narrow, and a private driver for a full day costs around $40–50.
- Most temples require a sarong and sash to enter — you can borrow or rent them at the entrance; having your own lightweight sarong saves time and is respectful.
- Book the Mount Batur sunrise trek through a reputable agency (not strangers on the street) — it requires a 1am departure from Ubud, and the view from the crater rim at dawn is worth every sleepless hour.
- The dry season (April to October) is significantly better than the wet season — December to February brings heavy daily rain that can wash out roads and cancel boat trips to Nusa Penida.
