The best way of getting around in Bali & Lombok is by taxi. There are local buses and cars can be hired but road signage and timetables can be unpredictable.

Special ceremonies and festivals dominate the Balinese way of life. The best times for festivals are those unique to Bali which include: Galungan & Nyepi (mid Mar) Kuningan (early May) Bali Arts Festival (Jun/Jul) Please note almost everything closes on Nyepi Day, including the airport! Hotels are especially busy Jul- Sep when the Australian winter, the European holiday season and Bali’s best weather coincide.
