You can book the taxi at taxi booking center, outside the exit terminal. there will be a board that list more detail destination and price. the price is for one car,not per person. ask if your destination is not listed.

If you already book a hotel, it is better if you request a pick up from airport to the hotel. almost all hotel give a free pick up.

hope this help you.

• DO NOT use a money changer that is located down a lane way or alley.

• DO NOT use a money changer with a desk at the back of another business.

• DO NOT use a money changer if the sign does not say “authorized” ( and even if the sign does say authorized, do not let your guard down and do follow all the same rules)

• DO NOT use a money changer with an advertised rate which is better than any other in that area. (If the rate is too high, the changer is not making any money on the exchange and will have to cheat you to make money)

• DO NOT hand over your money until you are satisfied that the exchange is honest and you have the rupiah in your other hand.

• DO NOT allow anyone else present to distract you during the transaction.

• DO NOT accept any smaller denominations than 50,000 and 100,000 notes (a sure sign that you are going to be cheated is if they say they have run out of large notes and try to give you small notes instead).

• DO NOT allow anyone to touch the rupiah once you have counted it and are sure it is correct.

• DO only change your money at dedicated money changer (or the business listed further in this list)

• DO check their calculations, on your own calculator, if necessary.

• DO count the rupiah, twice, in full, before handing over your money.

• DO keep the rupiah in your hand, do not put it back down on the counter.

• DO, if you feel at all uncomfortable or suspicious, walk out.

• DO, if you find you have been cheated, go back to that money changer and ask for the rest of your rupiah (most keep a ledger of the amounts they have skimmed, so will know exactly how much you have been shorted).

• DO try to keep using the same money changer, once you have found an honest and reliable one.

In our experience the businesses listed below are honest, but having said this, always check and never take their honesty for granted:

Kodak Shops

Fuji Shops

Airport Money Changers

PT Bali Maspintjinra, Kuta Jl Sriwinjays No 16A

BMC Seminyak PT Bali Maspintjinra(opposite Bintang Supermarket, next to Sip restaurant on the Kuta side.)

PT Bali Maspintjinra, Head office Jl Raya Seminyak No 16A

PT Bali Maspintjinra, Sanur, Jl Danau Tamblingan No 18

PT Bali Maspintjinra also has offices in Makassar and Lombok

Some hotels will offer a decent exchange rate if you feel that the money changer process is not for you, and want an easier, hassle free option.

On arrival at Denpasar’s Ngurah Rai Airport you will leave the plane and head to the immigration hall. Once there, you will see 2 cubicles on either side of the hall with the sign Visa on Arrival (VOA). Line up at one of the queues to purchase your visas.

For a stay of 1 to 7 (calendar) days the VOA will be $10 USD. For a stay of 8 to 30 days the VOA will cost $25 USD. Your length of stay is taken very seriously so ensure you are purchasing the correct VOA. For stays of longer than 30 days, a 60 day visa needs to be obtained prior to leaving your country. Children are not exempt from having to have a VOA.

It is possible to pay for your visa in any other major currency and your change will be given to you in rupiah. It is personal choice what currency you use. Most have no problems paying in their currency but some have reported problems with the 2 currency conversions, into their currency and then of the change into rupiah.

Credit cards are NOT accepted.

Remember to check that you have been given the correct visa for the length of your stay.

With your visa in hand proceed to the next bank of queues and when asked to come forward present your passport, VOA and Immigration Card (given out on the plane or in your port of embarkation). You will be required to present these to 2 separate immigration officials. You will be given back your passport and the tear off portion of the immigration card which is required to leave the country (departure card). It is very important that you don’t lose that departure card.

Proceed from here into the baggage claim area. There are porters (they will be wearing shirts that say “porter”) available to hire in this area and they may try to grab your bags from you. They are not just being helpful, they do expect to be paid on a per case basis, as this is their livelihood. The recommended fee per case can be found on small signs near the baggage carousels. If you don’t want to use a porter, a firm, but polite “No, thank you” will suffice. With your luggage, proceed through the customs area with your customs card (given out on the plane as well) ready for inspection.

There are a number of ATM’s in the baggage claim area or there is a large choice of money changers as you leave the customs area. You can’t miss them, they will all be waving and smiling at you to get your attention. There are public toilets situated at the far end of the baggage claim area.

hope this information useful.

In general, Bali experiences two yearly seasons of monsoon winds: the southeast monsoon, bringing dry weather (musim panas – dry season), and the northwest monsoon, bringing rain (musim hujan- rainy season). Often the changing seasons can bring the time of high waves (musim ombak).
The rainy season is normally October to March, with a peak around January and February, when it rains for several hours each day. The rain is predictable, however, and always stops for a time, when the sun may come out. Before it rains, the air gets very sticky; afterwards it is refreshingly cool.

The dry season, April to September, is a better time to come, and especially June to August. This is the time to climb mountains or visit nature reserves.

Rainy season is not a bad time to visit Bali, because most of the downpours are in the mid afternoons and if you plan well, you can really enjoy the rest of the day.
Though many details about Bali weather are available, it is better to check with the current weather conditions in Bali before planning a trip to this island.

Check with the hotel where you are staying as many have adapters which you can use while staying. there are many cheap adapters in Bali also.  these will probably be cheaper than your home town.
