Good to Know

Getting around

Bali runs on private drivers; a half-day driver is roughly IDR 350-400k. Gili Trawangan is car-free - transport is by cidomo (horse cart), bicycle or on foot. Fast boats connect Padang Bai to the Gilis in about 1h 45m.

Temple etiquette

A sarong and sash are required at temples like Uluwatu, Goa Gajah and Tirta Empul; these are usually included with the entry ticket. Bring a change of clothes for the Tirta Empul purification ritual.

Vegetarian food

Ubud is very veg-friendly (Locavore, Sari Organik, Naughty Nuri's). On Gili Trawangan, Pituq Cafe is a dedicated vegetarian spot.

Watch the macaques

The monkeys at Uluwatu Temple are notorious for snatching sunglasses, hats and phones - keep loose items secured or tucked away.

Visa on arrival

Indonesia offers a 30-day visa on arrival at Denpasar for USD 35 per person; passports should be valid for at least six months from entry.
