Travel Tips
- Check visa and arrival requirements for your passport before you fly, and whether Bali charges a tourist levy.
- Distances between islands are large; domestic flights and ferries are the norm.
- Dress modestly at temples; sarongs are often provided or available to rent in Bali.
- Use ride-hailing apps or metered taxis in cities.
- Drink bottled or filtered water rather than tap water.
