Getting there

By Air

Bali is well connected to most of Indonesia. Garuda and Merpati Nusantara Airlines operate many services in the domestic sectors.

Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS) is just south of Kuta and is well serviced with international flights. It has a hotel-booking counter, a left-luggage room, several moneychangers, and ATMs.

By sea

The national shipping line is Pelni (www.pelni.co.id), which schedules large boats on long-distance runs throughout Indonesia.

By land

You can take a bus to/from Ubung terminal in Denpasar. Most buses travel overnight. It's advisable to buy your ticket at least one day in advance from travel agents in the tourist centres or at the Ubung terminal.

Getting around

The best way to get around in Bali is with your own transport, whether you drive, hire a driver or ride a bike. This gives you the flexibility to explore the island at your own pace and reach places that would be otherwise inaccessible.

Boat

Taking a boat is more competitive time wise. Public ferries travel non-stop between Padangbai and Lembar on Lombok.

Bus & tram

Shuttle buses are quicker, more comfortable and more convenient than any other mode of public transport. If you are travelling in a group, it would be cheaper to charter a vehicle.

Car & motorcycle

It is easy to rent a car or motorcycle in Bali but you must have an International driving license. Your personal transport gives you the freedom to explore the myriad of back roads and lets you set your own schedule.
