What is worth knowing before you leave the airport.
Bali traffic can turn a short-looking transfer into a long one. Keep arrival day light and confirm your driver or transport plan before leaving Wi-Fi.
Entry requirements, visitor rules and local levies can change. Use current official government or tourism channels before travel rather than a saved screenshot.
Dress and behaviour rules matter at temples. Follow local signage and staff guidance, and do not treat ceremonies as a photo set.
Only ride if you are legally licensed, insured and genuinely confident. Otherwise use reputable transport and allow for traffic.
Use reputable ATMs, confirm totals before paying and keep some local cash for small purchases or places where cards are inconvenient.
Save your hotel, ferry details and key map areas before island or coastal days. Mobile data helps, but weather, sea conditions and local signal can change.
A short selection based on usefulness, reputation and real trip value.
Clifftop temple, sea views and a strong sunset window. Secure loose belongings around monkeys and follow temple rules.
