per person, twin-share. Includes return flights and all stays. Ground transfers quoted with your itinerary.

Local know-how
  • Traditional markets like Pasar Pagi Desa Adat Legian close early, typically around 10-11 am, so plan to visit in the morning (it opens around 5 am).
  • When shopping at places like Pasar Seni Legian, prices are often expensive, so it is essential to bargain with sellers to get a fair price.
  • For Sekeh Beach (Airport Reef), take the specific road next to Patra, as it's the only access now, and arriving early might get you free parking.
  • For sunrise activities like the Kintamani Jeep tour or Mount Batur trekking, expect very early pickups in the middle of the night.
  • For walks like the Rice Fields Walk, go early between 6am-8am to avoid crowds and heat; the trail ends abruptly and might have trash in streams.
Everyday costs to consider
  • Kuta (Bali): Expect cheap prices for desserts and reasonable costs for activities like 5GX Bali; however, market prices at Pasar Seni Legian are expensive, requiring bargaining, and early arrival at Sekeh Beach can secure free parking.
  • Ubud: A caramel latte can cost under 40k IDR.
  • Nusa Dua: Expect food items like choux to be cheap or quite cheaper than alternatives, while parking at Mengiat Beach is very affordable (IDR 2K for motorbikes, IDR 5K for cars), and Peninsula Island entry is about $10.
