Touring Bali in 2012 – at Ulun Danu.
Bali is a magical island with so much to explore, enjoy, and experience. First-time travelers will need proper planning, as this tropical island is huge. It has two main seasons –
- April to September – Dry season
- October to March – Wet season
July and August is the peak and most frequented season. Even if it is the summit of the dry season, the island gets jam-packed and prices of accommodation, transportation, and food surge up. May, June & September are the best months the travelers can plan their visit, as they get to enjoy the charming weather with hardly any crowd.
Fortunately, Bookaway supports team that can help you book your sea or train or bus tickets online. If you are a stranger to this island, then you can check for information with them like, how long the ride is going to take, is the ride suitable for family traveling with small kids, are there toilets on the board, etc. You can get ground bookings online for a variety of transportation in Bali.
- Scooters and motorbikes – Sometimes traffic jams are unbearable, so you can rent a scooter or motorbike, and enjoy exploring Bali. It is the best and affordable way of getting around.
- Taxis – Metered taxis are a safe option for not getting overly charged. You can even negotiate a fixed price with the local taxi drivers, which is not possible with transportation apps.
