Essential Travel Tips to Improve Your Holiday Experience in Bali

1. Transport Tactics

Renting a scooter in Bali

Bali is no longer an untouched paradise. Because of the throng of tourists visiting Bali every year, you should expect crowds and traffic. To better deal with the transport and traffic, consider renting a scooter to visit nearby places. It is an efficient and time-saving commute option!

2. Dress for the occasion

Dress for the occasion

When packing for Bali, don’t carry only beachwear. It doesn’t always cut. Many high-end bars, restaurants, and clubs enforce dress codes. Also, when visiting temples, you need to make sure to dress appropriately. Wearing something that covers your shoulders and knees is advised.

3. Learn some basic lingo

Learn some basic lingo

When visiting Bali, brush up your language skills. While you can manage your stay in Bali if you know English, learning a few words of Bahasa Indonesia is also encouraged. Try simple words like selamat pagi (good morning), terima kasih (thank you), and tolong (please) for starters.

4. Bargain respectfully

Bargain respectfully when shopping in Bali

When shopping in Bali, test your bargaining skills. But, be respectful when negotiating prices. You would know when the sellers have reached their limit. At that point, do not push further. If you do not wish to pay the asked price for the item, walk away.

5. Explore beyond the beach

Explore green rice terraces in Bali

Bali is not just about the sea and beaches. While they are the main tourist attraction, Bali has much more to offer. Try venturing out into the lush green rice terraces, explore several Hindu temples, and check out the cultural heart of Ubud for a wholesome experience.
