Transport
Bali, the island of the Gods is indeed one of the favourites of (both domestic and foreign) tourists. Bali offers a comfort as well as tranquility in your heart when you visit. However, there are still many people who consider holidays to Bali need a lot of money, especially if you want to have fun.
In fact, enough with IDR 1,500,000 you can be satisfied in Bali for one week! The only expensive things you need to worry about is the flight! Which can cost up to 700 euro, but in low season you can find one that cost 300 – 500 euro, so make sure that the timing is right!
Meanwhile, public transportation from Ngurah Rai Airport to several back areas can use taxis with the following fare information (Prices may change at any time):
- Kuta (Discovery / Kuta Square / Bakungsari)) IDR 70,000.
- Kuta (North Batus / Melasti / Pelasa) IDR 80,000.
- Legian (Jl Padma, Jayakarta Hotel) IDR 95,000.
- Denpasar (Tuku Umar) IDR 125,000.
- Denpasar (Renon / Tanjung Bungkak / Kreneng) IDR 135,000.
- Denpasar (South Jackfruit / Ratna / Kesiman) IDR 150,000.
- Denpasar (Sekar Tunjung / Tohpati / Penatih) IDR 175,000.
These are examples of the price of the taxi with the destination but there are always ways that you can finesse into getting cheaper deals! One of them are bringing LOCAL!!!! (u can hit me up anytime lol). Oh yeah, and also these are not all the price range, but if you want to check all of the price and destination go to Bali tourism website and there you’ll find the informations you need!
Hotel
Hotels don’t need to be expensive, as long as it’s clean enough. Actually, your main function is to book a hotel because you need a bed when the night comes, right? If you don’t use star-rated hotel facilities, you better book a hotel that is normal, but still clean. Anyway … who says you can’t find luxury lodging with a private pool under IDR 1,000,000? You can!
My recommendation : Best Western Kuta Villa
The hotel provides free transportation from the hotel to Discovery Mall. The design of the hotel is modern mixed with ethnic Balinese. The price per room starts from IDR 480,000.
Activities
Touring around Bali will be very pleasant. Can enjoy beautiful Balinese landscapes in a relaxed manner, enjoying them on a motorcycle. I’ve done this in Bali several times, and haven’t been bored until now. For detailed itinerary touring around Bali for two days, roughly like this.
Touring Around Bali Day 1
- Departing from Kuta early in the morning, around 04.00 – 04.30
- The first destination to be visited is Sanur Beach, estimates until 05.00. Enjoy the sunrise on Sanur beach
- Around 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. can be spent on breakfast first. around the closest Sanur Beach is KFC fast food.
- Around 11.00, enter the Candidasa area
- At 12.00, stop at Virgin Beach or also known as White Sand Beach. Spend about 2 hours on this beach, and continue the journey at 14.00
- Continuing the journey from Virgin Beach, around 15.00 will pass the Amlapura area, and Amed which is part of East Bali. The scenery along this trip is second to none. There is one area where you can clearly see the amazing scenery of Mount Agung.
- It is estimated that at 17.00, it will reach the northern part of Bali, while enjoying this beautiful sunset in northern Bali.
- At 7:00 p.m. will enter Singaraja area, the first day will end at Singaraja. Many lodgings are found on Jalan Ahmad Yani, Singaraja.
Touring Around Bali Day 2
- Try to leave the hotel where you stay in the morning, around 07.00 – 08.00 WITA, or even earlier if you want to see dolphins on Lovina Beach.
- If you do not want to watch wild dolphins on Lovina Beach, by leaving at 08.00 WITA, it is estimated to arrive at Lovina Beach at around 8:30 a.m.
- Around 10:30 WITA, it will reach seririt, the surrounding scenery is in the form of hills, and there are several parts that are the edge of the beach.
- The next hour after leaving Seririt area, or around 11:30 WITA, will enter the area of West Bali National Park, which is mostly in the form of forests, besides that in the West Bali National Park there is also Labuhan Lalang which is the crossing point to Menjangan Island.
- After noon around 13:00 WITA, you will enter the country, one of the regencies in the province of Bali, which also has many beautiful scenery along its path, such as a verdant view of rice fields with a sea background. Where can you find other than in Bali?
- Around 18:00 WITA, it will reach the end of traveling around Bali, the final destination which is also the starting point, Kuta, Bali.
- Along the northern route, it is difficult to find food stalls, except when you have entered the Singaraja area, bringing food in the form of snacks for your own drink will be better.
So those are my recommendation for 2 days of your trip, and the rest of them you can explore and google on your own! The possibility is endless you guys! This is Indonesia we’re talking about, there are no rules in terms of how to explore the crevices of this island!
Food

Unique Place
In this article I’ll give y’all a bonus of cool place to visit in Bali that I personally like. All of these place is only good for instagram photos lol, so if you’re not looking for that you can skip this section!
Motel Mexicola
Trendy and unique dining place with a colourful concept serving Mexican specialties and alcohol.
Hideout Beehive
Hideout Beehive is a unique eco stay for adventurous travelers, hidden in the mountains of the Mount Agung area. It’s the first of the three Hideout homes to permanently sleep four guests. With an upstairs rotating bed in the Beehive, as well as a double house overlooking the river, it’s perfect for a couple of couples or a group of friends getaway.
Mad Pops
The only place to eat ice cream in Seminyak! This popular spot has recently launched a second branch in Canggu so look out for more neon lighting and Instagram fame.
Kim Soo
KIM SOO is a lifestyle & homeware store based in Seminyak. With monochromatic interiors and exteriors, Kim Soo is the chicest shop in Bali.
Packing Tips
Now for the packing tips, I advise you to dress comfortably. Most of the times weather in Bali is warm to hot so it would be better to wear casual stuff and maybe even your swim suit (trust me you will see people out and about in their swim suit or shirtless). And for shoes, just wear whatever feels comfortable for your feet, I mostly just pack my Birkenstock and call it a day. Don’t forget SUN SCREEN! so you’ll never have a problem with being sunburnt!
