Let NxVoy Trips guide you through the mathematics of paradise.

Eat Local

Transport Strategy

  • • Rent a scooter monthly for ~IDR 1.5M ($95).
  • • Use the GoJek or Grab apps for motorbike taxis (ojeks).
  • • Hire a private driver shared with friends for ~$35/day.

Lifestyle Tips

  • • Buy a local SIM card at the airport or in town (Telkomsel is best).
  • • Refill your water bottle at stations to avoid buying plastic.
  • • Visit temples early morning to avoid "photo-line" fees.
