Insider Tips
- Avoid Kuta — overcrowded and the worst version of Bali; go Canggu, Uluwatu, or Sanur instead
- Hire a private driver for day trips (~$50/day) rather than scootering long distances
- Visit Tegallalang rice terraces at sunrise; the entry fee is small but worth it
- Don't drink tap water; even ice in cheap places can be risky for first-timers
