Tips for Budget

Sunset at Pererenan Beach

For a much quieter and more relaxed sunset than in Batu Bolong, head to the wooden beach bars of Pererenan Beach at 5:30 p.m., sit on a beanbag on the sand and order a fresh green coconut.

Early Brunch at Crate Cafe

Head to Crate Cafe around 7:30-8:00 AM to enjoy their generous breakfast bowls and coffee with views of the rice fields before the long mid-morning lines form.

Respect for 'Canang Sari' Offerings

Every morning the Balinese place small baskets of palm leaves with flowers, rice and incense on the sidewalks and entrances; Be careful when walking and do not step on them intentionally.

Temple Dress Code

To enter temples such as Tanah Lot or local temples, it is mandatory to cover your legs with a 'Sarong' (traditional sarong) and tie a sash around your waist ('Selendang').

Essential Travel Medical Insurance

Always take out travel insurance with extensive international medical coverage; Quality private clinics in Canggu (such as BIMC or Siloam) have high private fees.

Sun Protection and Mosquitoes

Apply waterproof sunscreen for surfing and tropical mosquito repellent at dawn and dusk in rice paddy areas to prevent dengue fever.

Safe Driving on a Scooter

If you rent a motorcycle, always wear a fastened helmet, drive on the left and do not drive if you do not have previous experience; Motorcycle falls are the most common accident among tourists ('Bali tattoo').

Caution with Mobile Phone on Motorcycle

Do not carry the phone visible in your hand or on loose motorcycle mounts at night on lonely streets to avoid being pulled by thieves while driving.
