How to get around

By Air
Numerous airlines service Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport either directly or via Jakarta. Domestic airlines Garuda, Merpati, Sempati, Bouraq and Mandala operate scheduled flights from various cities within Indonesia.

Overland
Bali is connected to Java by a regular ferry service running between Gilimanuk and Banyuwangi. If you are taking the train or night bus from Jakarta, Bandung or Yogyakarta, travel first to Surabaya for the connection to Banyuwangi, where you board another bus for the final passage to Denpasar.

By Sea
The state-run passenger line PELNI operates weekly sailings between Bali and Jakarta, Ujung Pandang and Balikpapan.

Getting Around

Upon Arrival
If your hotel has not arranged transportation from the airport, hire taxi from the transport counter outside the arrival gate. Fares are listed by destination and must be paid in advance. Metered taxis are also available in Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua and Denpasar.

Cars and Motorcycles
While inexpensive public transportation is available throughout Bali, the best option for the travelers looking for comfort and flexibility is renting a car. Rental agencies are rife throughout southern Bali, and usually offer inexpensive chauffeur services for those who don't wish to drive themselves (or who lack a valid International Drivers License). Motorcycles are also readily available for hire, but please note that helmets for both driver and passenger are required by law.

Buses
Bus tours and daily excursions in air-conditioned coaches or mini-vans are offered at most hotels and travel agencies. Public buses ply routes throughout Bali from Denpasar Ubung Terminal.

Bemos and Dokars
Bemos, covered pickups or mini-vans, cover short routes between towns. They are not air-conditioned and can be crowded, but are cheap. Fares vary according to distance, and bargaining is recommended. Or for something different hop on a traditional dokar. These small horse-drawn carts are still available in Kuta and Denpasar and a shore ride costs next to nothing.
