Two more on request

Nusa Penida — fast boat from Sanur, Kelingking, Angel's Billabong, Crystal Bay. A long, hot, genuinely tiring day, and we'll tell you that before you book. Amed — the coastal snorkelling and the Japanese wreck. Both are priced separately because they include a boat.

Ask for a price

Prices are set and charged in Indonesian rupiah. Other currencies are an approximate guide and move with the exchange rate. Every price is per car, not per person, and is a “from” price for a standard 4-seat car (Avanza or similar): a 6–7 seat MPV runs roughly 30–50% more, an 8-seat HiAce van roughly double.

The quieter version

Where we'd take you instead

Some of the famous places are worth the crowd — Uluwatu at sunset earns it. But for most of them there's a version twenty minutes away with the same view and nobody in it. Here's the trade, plainly.

Everyone goes to
Tegallalang rice terraces
We'd take you to
Belimbing terraces in Tabanan, or the Subak Juwuk Manis walk just outside Ubud
Same view, no entry gate, no queue for the swing.
Everyone goes to
Tegenungan waterfall
We'd take you to
Tibumana, or Gembleng in Karangasem
Smaller, quieter, and you can actually swim.
Everyone goes to
Besakih, the mother temple
We'd take you to
Pura Kehen in Bangli
Ancient, carved, almost empty, and no compulsory guide at the gate.
Everyone goes to
Canggu
We'd take you to
Seseh, ten minutes up the coast
Black sand, warungs, no queue for a table.
Everyone goes to
Ubud for a coffee with a rice view
We'd take you to
The family warungs on the lanes through Junjungan and Payangan
Same paddies, local prices, nobody filming.
Everyone goes to
A hotel pool
We'd take you to
Banjar hot springs near Lovina, early
Stone dragon spouts, mostly Balinese families at that hour.
Everyone goes to
Kuta sunset
We'd take you to
Balian on the west coast
Surfers, driftwood, and the road out is empty.
