If you're visiting Bali, one of the most famous islands in Indonesia, you’ll arrive via Bali Airport, also called Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport and Denpasar International Airport. When you arrive, you will be around 13 km south of Denpasar, a major city in the area. Bali is home to incredible events, tourist attractions and natural wonders.
There are more than 28 festivals that occur on the island annually and offer everything from delicious food to fancy dress. If you opt to hire a scooter, you’ll discover that moving around the island is incredibly easy. Top attractions include Ubud, home to the Monkey Forest, art museums and multiple temples, the Canggu Beach where you can relax on the sand, and Kuta, a bustling beach town with surfing and an active nightlife.
Those choosing to hire a scooter will notice that there are two Balis. There is the urban area of Denpasar, with its sprawling districts, and the rural heartland, with its beautiful forests and natural wonders. It is here that you will find the greatest treasures, including the Tirta Gangga, the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, and various waterfalls, such as the Blahmuntung, Santhipala and Golden Valley.
Heading along the ring road towards the west of the island, you’ll eventually reach the remote West Bali National Park. It offers a remote coastline and is the last remaining habitat of Curik Bali. Getting around Bali on foot or using taxis is possible.
However, many travelers find that scooter, motorbike or quad hire is the best option.
