Questions fréquentes

Pour la plupart des visiteurs, oui. Bali n'a pas de train et peu de transports en commun, les applications de VTC ne peuvent pas prendre de passagers dans beaucoup de zones touristiques, et une voiture privée avec chauffeur-guide local coûte moins cher que deux trajets en taxi sur la plupart des excursions à la journée. Vous choisissez l'itinéraire et le rythme ; Adi gère le stationnement, les files aux entrées et la route.

TODO(adi): confirm. Cash in rupiah at the end of the day is the norm. Bank transfer is possible for multi-day packages. No deposit is needed for single day tours.

TODO(adi): confirm. Cash in Indonesian rupiah is standard for day tours. Entrance fees at temples and waterfalls are cash only, so bring small notes; ATMs are easy to find in every town.

Tipping is not expected in Bali but it is appreciated. If Adi has made your day, a tip of around 10 percent or a round-up at the end is a normal gesture. The mountain guides and porters at Batur and Tulamben rely on tips more than drivers do.

Most are. The car has a child seat on request, the pace is yours, and Adi shortens or swaps stops when small legs get tired. The exceptions are the Mount Batur climb (from about age 8) and the diving day. Tell Adi the children's ages when you book and he will suggest the right days.

A standard day is up to 10 hours from pickup to drop-off. The tour pages show the typical length. If you want to stay longer somewhere, just say: extra hours are charged at the rate on the pricing page, agreed on the day. TODO(adi): confirm the standard day length.

TODO(adi): confirm. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Same-day cancellations are charged in full unless caused by weather or boat cancellations, in which case Adi offers another date or tour.

TODO(adi): confirm. A recent air-conditioned Toyota Innova with seats for up to five guests plus Adi. It takes four large suitcases with five passengers; for airport transfers with more luggage, tell Adi and he arranges a larger vehicle.

Bali's popular places are busiest between 10 am and 2 pm, and the light and the temperature are better before that. Starting at 6 or 7 usually means empty viewpoints and no queue at the Gates of Heaven. Every start time on this site is a suggestion; Adi will start when you like.

Showers in Bali are usually short and mostly in the afternoon between November and March. Waterfalls are at their best after rain. If a path is closed for safety, Adi swaps in a nearby alternative and tells you before you set off.

Shoulders and knees covered, and a sarong with a sash around the waist. Adi keeps clean sarongs in the car so you never need to buy one at the gate. Women who are menstruating are asked not to enter the inner courtyards of temples.

For the two-dive day at Tulamben, yes, an Open Water certificate or higher. Non-certified guests can do a discover-scuba session with the dive centre or snorkel over the wreck from the beach. Snorkelling trips need no certificate.

Yes. Beginners get a two-hour lesson at a sandy beach break in Canggu with a partner school; the reef breaks on the Bukit are for experienced surfers only. Adi puts each group at the right beach for the tide.
