Yes, some beaches in Bali are black sand beaches because Bali is a volcanic island. That’s how the soil is so fertile here (I’ve definitely seen plants grow everywhere, on the roof, on the pavement, etc). Black sand beach might be an experience though, when the sun is up, the black sand glitters, literally glitters, it’s so pretty
@@Cassiallunsi ubud is great too. It’s a different vibe. It has a lot of greeneries so it feels really fresh around the area. Regarding the black beach, make sure to do research beforehand because sanur beach, for example, used to be a black beach but not anymore since it receives imported sand to fight against corrosion
As other commenters have mentioned, Canggu has changed a lot, so you might consider a different jumping off point. Canggu is triple the price for an overly congested party hub. It's a victim of it's own publicity. It was so nice (in the opinion of Western urbanite influencers) that everybody made videos about it and more and more of the same type flocked there, which drove up prices, then they built new construction over all the place so no more natural scenery, and now it's kind of like an amusement park for wealthy westerners. It feels more like LA than Bali. If that's your kind of thing, you'll absolutely love it, but if you're coming to Bali to experience Bali then you'd be better off skipping it. ...or if you don't want to wait an hour in traffic to get 5 km down the road. 😆 Fortunately, there are still dozens of other great places to stay that are amazing! It all depends on what you like most. If you can answer the question, "What makes you want to go to Bali?" then I (or anyone else with recent experience) could suggest a better alternative.
I have visited Bali for my honeymoon with my wife. To make things simple: Best destination for honeymoon. The vibes, the people, nature, temples, waterfalls, Zoo, swings, views!! All are awesome. Sadly we only had 1 week so we grabbed as much as possible of it but still you will never be able to do all Bali even if you live there forever. I for sure will visit it again someday.
Thank you so much for this! I found a lot of comfort from your tips as a first-time solo traveller to Bali! Writing a list and keeping mental notes so I can maximise my time there. I have a retreat for a few days & then spend a couple days sightseeing before flying back to Aus. Am super nervous but looking forward to the experience. Thanks again for all your advice!!

If talk about all the volcanoes in Indonesia, it's like discussing something that is mega colossal and very complicated if explained in detail. There are even many tourists who will be very confused, because on the island of Bali there are still many tourists who think that there are only 4-6. Good video and stay healthy.
hiii just want to ask, there is airport in Bali right? and how many hours approximately the travel going to any hotel resorts? thank you for the response
@@sectorofzee422 Bali has it's own international airport. Last time I was there I stayed in Kuta at the Grand Inna, and it was a short drive from the airport. So close, in fact that I went walking down the boardwalk enjoying the beaches at sunset one evening and accidentally ended up back at the airport. 😂 Canggu is about 30 minutes to 2 hours north up the coast depending on time of day because of extremely dense traffic. Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Seminyak are each about 30 minutes, but in different directions. Ubud is about 1 to 1.5 hours from the airport depending on ring road traffic. Lovina on the Northern shore and Amed on the Eastern shore are each about 3 hours away from the airport, but could be 4 or more during peak hours.
Friendship greetings, introduce I'm from Indonesia I am located in Java and my home is close to Mount Bromo the mountain you mentioned in your video... I'm still improve my English and I found your video very interesting. Here I learned a lot about Bali too and English thank you very much...
Great video, best overview I've seen on Bali. I lived in Thailand and Cambodia for two years and video's like these really help travelers decide on where to go and what to do. Props.
When on Gilli T, make sure to stroll trough the centre of the island. Malaca hill lounge is a nice bar with Jamaican vibe in the centre of the island and we had a great time there!
This is probably the best video I have seen on Bali. It’s full of all the kinds of information that I would want plus some great tips that I wouldn’t of known I needed. Thanks for making this. Very well done!
A great video with really good advice except for 1 point. You mention scooters are a great way to get around. I totally agree. What you should also mention is you need to hold a motorcycle licence in your home country and have an International Driving Permit that indicates this. If you are don't have a licence and are injured in an accident travel insurance will not cover you or your passenger if you have one.. As you correctly state traffic in the built up areas is horrendous. I would hate to ride as an inexperienced rider in those conditions. I am an experienced rider and still don't like riding. As a regular Bali traveller I have heard too many stories where an unlicensed rider has been injured and a go fund me page has been set up to cover the huge medical expenses. In addition they run the risk of being pulled over by the police and as they don't have a licence pay the police officer money to be let off. Put simply a person doesn't ride illegally in their home country so therefore they shouldn't think it is ok to do in Bali.
After travelling to Bali for the last 20 years the last place I would stay would be Canggu. Even if I was offered free accommodation! It was great a decade ago when it was off the beaten track with unsealed roads and go to the Echo Beach Bar. Best places to stay Legian and Sanur. No want-to-bes and Instagramers, urgh!
I've been to Bali only once and I totally agree. Canggo is a big no no. Almost no local architecture and a bunch of western clothing shops and restaurants. Walking around is just not interesting, I found Seminyak much much better. It is very touristy but it has a soul.
Get out and around to places like Tabanan . Not much of a tourist area, but the night markets & street food are superb. We stay around the island in accomodation for AUD $15-$27 a night PP with breakfast in clean , comfortable AC rooms. Lunch , dinner & drinks, take away coffees etc should cost no more than about $14 AUD per day. Our budget was $90 AUD a day & we pretty well cane right on that. Do Ulawatu, GWK cultural Centre, do a bicycle tour, white water rafting, etc. Eat like a local. Family owned warungs are clean, cheap & the food is really something. Bali knows it's food. Don't be afraid to eat only Indonesian food on your stay. I don't Eat any western meals at all. Indonesian food is tasty & healthy . Avoid tap water. Ice is regulated by the government & is completely Safe. Avoid Arak unless it's commercially packaged, do try the non alcoholic Jamu or Java Ginger Soda which is called Temulawak . Radler Bintang orange or lemon is another refreshing drink. 2% Alc vol. If shopping In markets, haggle , there's a price for locals & the tourist price is up to 10x higher. Don't be afraid to bargain. But DECLARE any wooden or commercially packaged foodstuffs on return to your country of origin. I'm about to head back to Bali in 3 wks. My 2nd trip this yr since August. The people, food, hospitality, scenery are superb. As the video has stated, there are far more positives to Bali than negatives. Get out and enjoy what this truly amazing country has to offer. I'm absolutely hooked!
@@imgguru1277 hire a driver & car. Can cost from about $25AUD for a 1/2 day & $50 AUD for a full day. Rockycooldude or Bali car & driver are excellent choices. Both speak fluent English & are excellent guides & drivers. Contact them for exact pricing , but this is an average price that I paid in bali last yr
@@Coastmac2001hiii just want to ask from the Airport how many hours the trip going to the hotel resorts? i mean approximately coz we know there are a lot of locations in around Bali.. first time to visit there
@@sectorofzee422 depends on where you are going. Even though distances to like sanur or canggu are a matter of a few km from eachother & the airport , it can take up to or over 30-45 mins . Ubud about 30 km or so from the airport can take up to or over a good hr or more , Tabanan up 2 hrs . Varies with traffic conditions
I just started planning for my trip to Bali this December and stumbled across your video (thanks to RUclips's algorithms lol) -- thanks so much for the useful tips! I was originally planning on a surf trip but your hikes to the volcanos look STUNNING. I should def try that. And of course Lombok. Thank you!!!
Did you find the weather was okay in December as I'm thinking of going then but worried about the fact its rainy season. Did it stop you from doing the activities like swim with Dolphins, Mount Batur etc?
I think you should explore our country Philippines next. We have Palawan which for me , can beat all other beaches elsewhere. We have Cebu, Bohol, Albay bicol, sagada, rice terraces.,. siquijor, siargao, samal island Davao. Zambales, ilocos, Baguio, batanes, bukidnon, Bacolod, guimaras, leyte, samar. The list could go on and on. Try it here. U won't regret it . Even us locals can't get enough of our own country. there's so much to explore and yet to see. I'm proud of my country. It's a beautiful one.
Wonderful and helpful, with stunning shots of what to expect in various places. I have been living in Bali for nearly 17 years now, and have had a little experience with visas of different types. It must be emphasised that a stay longer than a month or two (I am unsure of the exact latest wheezes that the Indonesian authorities have dreamed up to inconvenience visitors), but perhaps suggesting a visit to a local Indonesian embassy/consulate in the visitors' home-country before departure would clarify things. Otherwise getting a visa-agent or visiting imigrasi in Bali might not be much fun. Running into overstay will be seriously frowned upon, and maybe expensive. I liked your camera-work, and still have some places I'd like to visit from your list. Bravo.
U right Joel... Indonesia is the number 1 most beautiful country in the world, loaded with beautiful islands and beaches, active volcanos, vertil soils , marine diversities, many moreee... and New Zealand comes 2nd
Im flying from the UK to Bali tomorrow, for 4 weeks but am avoiding the southern beaches, and starting in Ubud, then Eastern Bali, and finishing in Nusa Penida.
Nice video, as an Indonesian myself I feel like your advices are really relevant to a foreigner :) On a sidenote, I just wondering why black sand beaches are always seen as "not beautiful" ? hahah I personally find something so unique about this volcanic sand !
Hi I am planning a trip of 2 weeks to bali this october and since you are from Indonesia could you perhaps tell me about the weather in october? How is it usually like? Is it hot? Does it rain? Is it dead? Just an idea even if you are not from bali? I´m a little worried, Thanks
@@danteneves I'm not a Balinese, but from a neighbouring country. So what I say may or may not be accurate. But I assume beginning till mid of October should be fine. November is when the monsoon really starts (that is, in my country). Also, with the recent news, it was stated that the heat waves rumoured to last until October. I guess, if your goodself is from a 4 season country, October would be sort of the Autumn, which in this case for Bali should be in between the Sunny & Wet season. With that said, I also assume the crowd will start to fade upon October, since many would start to worry about the monsoon will disrupt their lovely trip there. I would also love to hear from Isabelle. I myself would also love to visit Bali end of August.
everything you said is so true, on the bad things to avoid I'll add this for surfers: do not buy a used surfboard with big art on it, I did and found out the art was to cover up the repair of a broken board, on the biggest day of surf it brooked and I missed the best swell of my life. also watchout the scooters, one guy ripped my phone with all my photos on it (on the last day of the trip, at least I have my gopro pics), other than that everything was magic and I'm definitely coming back one day
I would say to skip Canggu, it's way overated.Only first time tourists, vloggers,surfers dudes and hipster that go there and the traffic is unbearable now.Anyway, nothing much to do there and you can find better beaches and ricefields elsewhere on the island.I would say Sanur, Kintamani or Nusa dua is more interesting imo.
It kinda depends on what you want out of your trip though. If you are wanting the most beautiful landscapes, to explore and unwind, and to engage with a different culture, I would agree... For myself and my partner, we are both experienced travellers and chose to spend the majority of our honeymoon in Canggu because we wanted the tourist component - we wanted infinite amazing restaurants, massages, luxe accom etc.
in indonesia tourism is world famous 1) bali 2)labuan bajo gunung rinjani 3)yogyakarta candi borobudur 4solo candi prambanan 5)puncak bogor 6)gunung bromo jawa timur 7 dan bnyk tempt yg lainya
I recommend after bali stop by here on your way to or from Mt Rinjani trek . Lombok. Then off to komodo to see the dragons or party the night away at Gili Trawangan or just chill st the beach near us where not a tourist is to be seen anywhere. All the best .Shibui 😊
hey! I just came across your comment and im also going to Bali in march! I just wanted to ask you, are you worried that it will still be rainy season in march? have you done more research about weather ?
@@dianakawkji3032 how fun! I have done a bunch of research on it and am not that worried anymore. It's also towards the end of rainy season and I've heard that if it rains, it's usually intense for maybe an hour and then that's it. Also the air and everything is much fresher afterwards so it's actually not a bad thing! I went to Thailand once during rainy season and it was not a big issue. A few rain bursts here and there but we would just seek shelter at a café and wait it out 😊
Great tips.. Going Indonesia in June or August next year for 3,5-4 weeks. Planning to go to Bingin (friend that owns a hostel), Nusa Islands, Kuta Lombok & Gili Air. A part from that, not decided if going somewhere else..
@@johan8602 spot on - it really is overrated! The islands/coast is the real beauty of Indonesia! Gili T is a great place id recommend some time as well.
Just came back from Nusa Penida. Would recommend: overcrowded..very expensive, all roads are broken, it’s gonna be a disaster to take bike there. Lots of rubbish on the streets(
Traffic in Canggu is ridiculous I’d recommend going there first rather than last on your schedule if you’re flying out you need to leave super early it took us 3 hrs to get to airport and we left 9am :/
The only place where there’s traffic all the time is around Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu area, everywhere else is typically relatively smooth. Riding a scooter is a faster way to go but PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DONT EVER BE RECKLESS. If you can’t ride a scooter, don’t try it for the first time there. I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a car in Bali with the driver almost having a heart attack cause of a tourist who is not proficient at riding a scooter. Also, each country have their own road system so if you’re not 100% confident that you can adapt well and is a great driver, it’s better to use those transportation apps. Also, if you’re in Bali by the time of this comment (early January) be careful of being in the street cause the wind is really harsh and trees might fall
Hi, I just watched your video. I am traveling to Bali in 4 weeks. I have secured my lodging already. Because it is a traditional open Balinese home, my question is about the animals. If the house is open, with outdoor kitchen and open bathroom, what insects and animals do I need to be concerned about. Thanks for any time given my request.
Also if you don't know how to use motorbike, you can easily spend too much for Grab/Gojek to go around while your stay. Especially if you go somewhere every day and want to see different parts, as I believe we all do.
Hey Joel, very nice video, thanks for the information, im going to bali in july for 2 months with my family, wife and 2 kids, you saw familys there? with kids? or you think is more for couples or singel?
Planning for Bali Tour in December, its wet season, but unfortunately between 25Dec to 2nd Jan is the only time period, when myself, wifey and kid can go on vacation together. But, knowing tropical rain, December in Bali, would it be a good choice?
Thanks for promoting another part of indonesia , indonesia is so huge .. but mostly people in the world didnt realize it and only know bali to vacation in indonesia which is funny. :)) how about another 16999++ islands LOL
I just stumbled across your channel like a day ago, and I've been binge watching EVERY Southeast Asia video you've made, I've at least watched like 10 videos by now. I know there's multiple videos about this, but I just have one question you've probably answered by now. Can a 19 year old, like me , travel around South Asia (alone), go to all these beautiful countries around South Asia (alone), get a bike or moped, and a SIM card, and take all my camera equipment, stay in medium well hotels and hostels (half and half), carry 2 bags (like one of your other videos said), shoot footage, meet new locals and make friends and all of this ALL OF MY OWN, I unfortunately don't know anyone who's interested in traveling so I'm kind of sad and a little scared I have to go on my own ): I have the median budget for it, but do you genuinely think I can do it ? Your answer to this will GENUINELY decide my decision to go next summer or not, also I'm from California so it would also be considering a long flight (I've never flown alone before). I'm genuinely curious if you think someone like me can do it.
Bro I did this at 18 years on hardly any money, and you for sure can certainly do this, everything is possible this idea you can bring to life and make a reality! So excited for you get that flight ticket booked!
@@Joelfriend thank you so much man, I honestly appreciate your response a ton. I’ll do more research and comment on another video how that goes. Have a good day bro!

How was your trip? I’m in Thailand now thinking about heading over to Bali after Vietnam.
Indonesia has a 35 USD Visa fee which you pay for on arrival at Bali International airport, You can pay cash or card!
you can pay on card now, we went last month!
@@dickeydosh thanks mate, just edited it, great to know!
Many people (tourist) know what you say.. You vlog no use ....
Do they still prefer cash now? Or is card payment preferred?
We arrived here a week back. They accepted card payment.
I have visited Bali for my honeymoon with my wife. To make things simple: Best destination for honeymoon.
The vibes, the people, nature, temples, waterfalls, Zoo, swings, views!!
All are awesome. Sadly we only had 1 week so we grabbed as much as possible of it but still you will never be able to do all Bali even if you live there forever.
I for sure will visit it again someday.
Anything in particular you recommend or avoid?
Any recommendations on where to stay?

If talk about all the volcanoes in Indonesia, it's like discussing something that is mega colossal and very complicated if explained in detail. There are even many tourists who will be very confused, because on the island of Bali there are still many tourists who think that there are only 4-6.
Good video and stay healthy.
You gave us a history lesson. I’m proud I learned something today though!
Panjang amat wkwkw 😂🤣🙏 dia cuman kasih info selama dia traveling di bali 🤣😂 di info tentang gunung semua , keren kok
..
I did a guided hike on Mount Batur. Phenomenal!!
Okayyyyy👍 that was quite the roll 😂❤
As Indonesian myself, your tips are top notch better than some local guides 🤭
Aww thank you very much! 😊
Indeed, indeed
hiii just want to ask, there is airport in Bali right? and how many hours approximately the travel going to any hotel resorts? thank you for the response
@@sectorofzee422 Bali has it's own international airport. Last time I was there I stayed in Kuta at the Grand Inna, and it was a short drive from the airport. So close, in fact that I went walking down the boardwalk enjoying the beaches at sunset one evening and accidentally ended up back at the airport. 😂 Canggu is about 30 minutes to 2 hours north up the coast depending on time of day because of extremely dense traffic. Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Seminyak are each about 30 minutes, but in different directions. Ubud is about 1 to 1.5 hours from the airport depending on ring road traffic. Lovina on the Northern shore and Amed on the Eastern shore are each about 3 hours away from the airport, but could be 4 or more during peak hours.
@aimbuzz weather of bali in the 1st week of march 2025?
Friendship greetings, introduce I'm from Indonesia I am located in Java and my home is close to Mount Bromo the mountain you mentioned in your video... I'm still improve my English and I found your video very interesting.
Here I learned a lot about Bali too and English thank you very much...
I would like to visit Bromo soon
Great video, best overview I've seen on Bali. I lived in Thailand and Cambodia for two years and video's like these really help travelers decide on where to go and what to do. Props.
Your video provides so much value!! Thank you so much for this!!! We'll be going to Bali this winter and your tips were gold!! 🙏
When on Gilli T, make sure to stroll trough the centre of the island. Malaca hill lounge is a nice bar with Jamaican vibe in the centre of the island and we had a great time there!
This is probably the best video I have seen on Bali. It’s full of all the kinds of information that I would want plus some great tips that I wouldn’t of known I needed. Thanks for making this. Very well done!
A great video with really good advice except for 1 point. You mention scooters are a great way to get around. I totally agree. What you should also mention is you need to hold a motorcycle licence in your home country and have an International Driving Permit that indicates this. If you are don't have a licence and are injured in an accident travel insurance will not cover you or your passenger if you have one.. As you correctly state traffic in the built up areas is horrendous. I would hate to ride as an inexperienced rider in those conditions. I am an experienced rider and still don't like riding. As a regular Bali traveller I have heard too many stories where an unlicensed rider has been injured and a go fund me page has been set up to cover the huge medical expenses. In addition they run the risk of being pulled over by the police and as they don't have a licence pay the police officer money to be let off. Put simply a person doesn't ride illegally in their home country so therefore they shouldn't think it is ok to do in Bali.
Thank you for letting me know!! I am leaving in exactly 23 days. Hopefully it’s enough time to get those licenses..
As Indonesian, I accept this is very good guidance for tourists.
i feel that this was the most useful video about Bali. Thanks man
After travelling to Bali for the last 20 years the last place I would stay would be Canggu. Even if I was offered free accommodation! It was great a decade ago when it was off the beaten track with unsealed roads and go to the Echo Beach Bar. Best places to stay Legian and Sanur. No want-to-bes and Instagramers, urgh!
Want-to-bes 🤣🤣
Agree. Been going to Bali for decades. Canggu is a hole and way over-rated and over-oriced 👎👎👎
I've been to Bali only once and I totally agree. Canggo is a big no no. Almost no local architecture and a bunch of western clothing shops and restaurants. Walking around is just not interesting, I found Seminyak much much better. It is very touristy but it has a soul.
Thank you for this fun and detailed video. I enjoyed it much and now I cannot wait to go to beautiful Bali again!
Bali has several white sand beaches.. Melasti, pandawa, padang-padang, and many more secret beaches.. i love melasti beach..
i feel that this was the most useful video about Bali. Thanks man
Thank you, I’m glad to hear it :)
Indonesia is my dream country greetings from Bradford United Kingdom
Great tips! Haven’t planned our Bali trip yet, so before we go, I’ll definitely be watching this video again.
Aww thank you very much for watching, glad you found it useful! Enjoy Bali when you go!
Get out and around to places like Tabanan . Not much of a tourist area, but the night markets & street food are superb. We stay around the island in accomodation for AUD $15-$27 a night PP with breakfast in clean , comfortable AC rooms. Lunch , dinner & drinks, take away coffees etc should cost no more than about $14 AUD per day. Our budget was $90 AUD a day & we pretty well cane right on that. Do Ulawatu, GWK cultural Centre, do a bicycle tour, white water rafting, etc. Eat like a local. Family owned warungs are clean, cheap & the food is really something. Bali knows it's food. Don't be afraid to eat only Indonesian food on your stay. I don't Eat any western meals at all. Indonesian food is tasty & healthy . Avoid tap water. Ice is regulated by the government & is completely Safe. Avoid Arak unless it's commercially packaged, do try the non alcoholic Jamu or Java Ginger Soda which is called Temulawak . Radler Bintang orange or lemon is another refreshing drink. 2% Alc vol. If shopping In markets, haggle , there's a price for locals & the tourist price is up to 10x higher. Don't be afraid to bargain. But DECLARE any wooden or commercially packaged foodstuffs on return to your country of origin. I'm about to head back to Bali in 3 wks. My 2nd trip this yr since August. The people, food, hospitality, scenery are superb. As the video has stated, there are far more positives to Bali than negatives. Get out and enjoy what this truly amazing country has to offer. I'm absolutely hooked!
enjoy your stay, im planning on coming september next year
What's the cheapest way to get around or cheap car rentals?
@@imgguru1277 hire a driver & car. Can cost from about $25AUD for a 1/2 day & $50 AUD for a full day. Rockycooldude or Bali car & driver are excellent choices. Both speak fluent English & are excellent guides & drivers. Contact them for exact pricing , but this is an average price that I paid in bali last yr
@@Coastmac2001hiii just want to ask from the Airport how many hours the trip going to the hotel resorts? i mean approximately coz we know there are a lot of locations in around Bali.. first time to visit there
@@sectorofzee422 depends on where you are going. Even though distances to like sanur or canggu are a matter of a few km from eachother & the airport , it can take up to or over 30-45 mins . Ubud about 30 km or so from the airport can take up to or over a good hr or more , Tabanan up 2 hrs . Varies with traffic conditions
I just started planning for my trip to Bali this December and stumbled across your video (thanks to RUclips's algorithms lol) -- thanks so much for the useful tips! I was originally planning on a surf trip but your hikes to the volcanos look STUNNING. I should def try that. And of course Lombok. Thank you!!!
Yess! Honestly I love Lombok highly highly recommend it!! Have a great time, and thanks for watching! 😊
I'm planning a trip the last week of December first week of January. I'll wave at you as we fly by
Did you find the weather was okay in December as I'm thinking of going then but worried about the fact its rainy season. Did it stop you from doing the activities like swim with Dolphins, Mount Batur etc?
Wow, incredible video. Thanks for sharing!
The thing about bargaining is that if you manage to get a lower price, know that you're still paying a higher price than normal.
Of course! But probably fair right?
This is so well put. I am planning Bali next year around March with my would-be wife.
These are gold points that you have shared.
Thanks Joel :)
I am going with my hubby in March too :)
Also i m going in march
@@neringakazlauskaite7779 Where you from?
@@chaimabenguedria515 Where you from? :)
@@neringakazlauskaite7779 We could catch up :D
I think you should explore our country Philippines next. We have Palawan which for me , can beat all other beaches elsewhere. We have Cebu, Bohol, Albay bicol, sagada, rice terraces.,. siquijor, siargao, samal island Davao. Zambales, ilocos, Baguio, batanes, bukidnon, Bacolod, guimaras, leyte, samar. The list could go on and on. Try it here. U won't regret it . Even us locals can't get enough of our own country. there's so much to explore and yet to see. I'm proud of my country. It's a beautiful one.
if you come to Bali again, you welcome to stay few days at Amore Villas or Mayana Villas in Canggu.
Thanks for sharing Joel. Great tips to help the everyday traveller
Good value video for some quick up to date research on Bali - haven't been there for a long time. Thanks.
Wonderful and helpful, with stunning shots of what to expect in various places. I have been living in Bali for nearly 17 years now, and have had a little experience with visas of different types. It must be emphasised that a stay longer than a month or two (I am unsure of the exact latest wheezes that the Indonesian authorities have dreamed up to inconvenience visitors), but perhaps suggesting a visit to a local Indonesian embassy/consulate in the visitors' home-country before departure would clarify things. Otherwise getting a visa-agent or visiting imigrasi in Bali might not be much fun. Running into overstay will be seriously frowned upon, and maybe expensive.
I liked your camera-work, and still have some places I'd like to visit from your list.
Bravo.
Sanur Beach is the best 🤗
Dream beach with white sand.
U right Joel... Indonesia is the number 1 most beautiful country in the world, loaded with beautiful islands and beaches, active volcanos, vertil soils , marine diversities, many moreee... and New Zealand comes 2nd
You haven’t been to Brazil 😊
Thailand smashes Indonesia
Dude 2022 bali is one of the dirtiest beach so much trash cuz of so much tourist
Im flying from the UK to Bali tomorrow, for 4 weeks but am avoiding the southern beaches, and starting in Ubud, then Eastern Bali, and finishing in Nusa Penida.
That’s awesome! East Bali is awesome and nusa. Penida has to be one of my favourite islands!
Gratitude ✨️As a RVer and part-time vanlifer & digital nomad, I can't wait to visit Bali in 2023. Thanks for sharing your lessons learned 🤗
Thanks guys. I am head to Bali for 2 weeks on my way back to Thailand.
Nice video, as an Indonesian myself I feel like your advices are really relevant to a foreigner :) On a sidenote, I just wondering why black sand beaches are always seen as "not beautiful" ? hahah I personally find something so unique about this volcanic sand !
Hi I am planning a trip of 2 weeks to bali this october and since you are from Indonesia could you perhaps tell me about the weather in october? How is it usually like? Is it hot? Does it rain? Is it dead? Just an idea even if you are not from bali? I´m a little worried, Thanks
@@danteneves I'm not a Balinese, but from a neighbouring country. So what I say may or may not be accurate. But I assume beginning till mid of October should be fine. November is when the monsoon really starts (that is, in my country).
Also, with the recent news, it was stated that the heat waves rumoured to last until October. I guess, if your goodself is from a 4 season country, October would be sort of the Autumn, which in this case for Bali should be in between the Sunny & Wet season.
With that said, I also assume the crowd will start to fade upon October, since many would start to worry about the monsoon will disrupt their lovely trip there.
I would also love to hear from Isabelle. I myself would also love to visit Bali end of August.
great video ,Bali is on my bucket list and after watching this im booking ,thanks you so much
Thank you for An awesome and excellent video. I enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Bali is the beauty of facilities, Raja Ampat is the beauty of nature
everything you said is so true, on the bad things to avoid I'll add this for surfers: do not buy a used surfboard with big art on it, I did and found out the art was to cover up the repair of a broken board, on the biggest day of surf it brooked and I missed the best swell of my life. also watchout the scooters, one guy ripped my phone with all my photos on it (on the last day of the trip, at least I have my gopro pics), other than that everything was magic and I'm definitely coming back one day
I would say to skip Canggu, it's way overated.Only first time tourists, vloggers,surfers dudes and hipster that go there and the traffic is unbearable now.Anyway, nothing much to do there and you can find better beaches and ricefields elsewhere on the island.I would say Sanur, Kintamani or Nusa dua is more interesting imo.
Agree. Sanur, Kintamani, Nusa Dua, Ubud is more interesting. Skip Seminyak and Canggu....it's overrated.
Dont forget about jimbaran☺️ its nice place to go
@@machinesnmetal Then you will feel right at home in Canggu.
It kinda depends on what you want out of your trip though. If you are wanting the most beautiful landscapes, to explore and unwind, and to engage with a different culture, I would agree... For myself and my partner, we are both experienced travellers and chose to spend the majority of our honeymoon in Canggu because we wanted the tourist component - we wanted infinite amazing restaurants, massages, luxe accom etc.
The entire island of Bali is overrated! It’s all just average. The beaches are quite filthy. The only thing I like here is the Bintang beer.
3:09 I'd recommend Gili Air any day of the week unless you are about only partying. The Gilis isnt a part of Bali but rather Lombok
Superb video mate. all in one with actual planning wow
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Joel! Will try Canggu. First time to travel to Bali on my birthday. 😊
As an Indonesian, I can say your reccomendations are approved ❤
Thank you for the tips!
Great and very useful video! Thanks a lot bro
These tips are fantastic! Wish I knew all of this before I visited
Thanks! 😀
in indonesia tourism is world famous
1) bali
2)labuan bajo gunung rinjani
3)yogyakarta candi borobudur
4solo candi prambanan
5)puncak bogor
6)gunung bromo jawa timur
7 dan bnyk tempt yg lainya
Nice, thank you for showing important parts
For our ferry we paid 350 from Hotel in Ubud to Gili Trawangan including transfer to the port. (Vijaya Perkasa). Eka Jaya is more expensive
i love Bali the view is just amazing
Thank you for this. Really Great!
Best Bali video ever
I recommend after bali stop by here on your way to or from Mt Rinjani trek . Lombok. Then off to komodo to see the dragons or party the night away at Gili Trawangan or just chill st the beach near us where not a tourist is to be seen anywhere. All the best .Shibui 😊
Such a great and helpful video❤ I’m moving to Bali in two months time and I’m so excited❤ I’m doing this alone so I am a little scared
When are u going?:)
You’re the best!!! Great tips
Great insight thanks for the video
Dude! Good video. Good info. Especially, get there early.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing all of these tips!
No worries, glad they were useful!
i’m planning to go back to bali jn 2025 ur vedio seems helpful thank u
great video.. thank you so much...
Excellent and informative video! Headed to Bali in March next year and this video made me even more excited!! 🤗🤗
hey! I just came across your comment and im also going to Bali in march! I just wanted to ask you, are you worried that it will still be rainy season in march? have you done more research about weather ?
@@dianakawkji3032 how fun! I have done a bunch of research on it and am not that worried anymore. It's also towards the end of rainy season and I've heard that if it rains, it's usually intense for maybe an hour and then that's it. Also the air and everything is much fresher afterwards so it's actually not a bad thing! I went to Thailand once during rainy season and it was not a big issue. A few rain bursts here and there but we would just seek shelter at a café and wait it out 😊
Im also going in March, will land in Bali on the 10th. I hope there isnt much rain
VEry informative. Thanks
Great tips.. Going Indonesia in June or August next year for 3,5-4 weeks. Planning to go to Bingin (friend that owns a hostel), Nusa Islands, Kuta Lombok & Gili Air. A part from that, not decided if going somewhere else..
You definitely cannot leave Ubud behind!
@@alifaldila heard its really overrated... avoiding most of Bali and focusing on the Islands and Lombok instead
@@johan8602 spot on - it really is overrated! The islands/coast is the real beauty of Indonesia! Gili T is a great place id recommend some time as well.
@@dickeydosh cheers..probably doing Nusa Islands, Gili T/Air and then mostly Lombok..
I really appreciate these videos
Going to bali in mid October. We're from perth W.A. so we only have white sand. Look forward to seeing black volcanic sand personally
Thank you for making this video! I am moving here at the end of the month and this was super helpful 😅
Glad it was helpful! Have a good time in Bali!
Just came back from
Nusa Penida. Would recommend: overcrowded..very expensive, all roads are broken, it’s gonna be a disaster to take bike there. Lots of rubbish on the streets(
Honeymoon in Bali Indonesia great
Selamat minikmati di Bali Indonesia
Such a helpful video. Cheers🎉
Love your vidio ❤
Thank you!
Thank yooo .. so helpful
Thanks for creating this!
Great stuff Joel!!
Thanks Ryan!
Awesome video!
Traffic in Canggu is ridiculous I’d recommend going there first rather than last on your schedule if you’re flying out you need to leave super early it took us 3 hrs to get to airport and we left 9am :/
The only place where there’s traffic all the time is around Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu area, everywhere else is typically relatively smooth. Riding a scooter is a faster way to go but PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DONT EVER BE RECKLESS. If you can’t ride a scooter, don’t try it for the first time there. I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a car in Bali with the driver almost having a heart attack cause of a tourist who is not proficient at riding a scooter. Also, each country have their own road system so if you’re not 100% confident that you can adapt well and is a great driver, it’s better to use those transportation apps.
Also, if you’re in Bali by the time of this comment (early January) be careful of being in the street cause the wind is really harsh and trees might fall
Awesome tips! Thank you:)
This is great information thanks for sharing
I am just starting to plan my bali trip in februar! Thanks to your great video and tips 😊 i hope the vulcan won‘t blow me away 😉😂
Hi, I just watched your video. I am traveling to Bali in 4 weeks. I have secured my lodging already. Because it is a traditional open Balinese home, my question is about the animals. If the house is open, with outdoor kitchen and open bathroom, what insects and animals do I need to be concerned about. Thanks for any time given my request.
Also if you don't know how to use motorbike, you can easily spend too much for Grab/Gojek to go around while your stay. Especially if you go somewhere every day and want to see different parts, as I believe we all do.
Great thank you.
First solo trip of 2025 is Bali! I can't wait!
Hey Joel, very nice video, thanks for the information, im going to bali in july for 2 months with my family, wife and 2 kids, you saw familys there? with kids? or you think is more for couples or singel?
There are lots of families with kids. The beaches and hotel swimming pools are so fun for them
Planning for Bali Tour in December, its wet season, but unfortunately between 25Dec to 2nd Jan is the only time period, when myself, wifey and kid can go on vacation together. But, knowing tropical rain, December in Bali, would it be a good choice?
Nice video , wonderful upload !
Thank you very much! 😊
Great tips.. I am planning to stay 10 days at bali but I have no idea how to see all these places withen 10 days thanks for advice
Sir can u recommend for 7 days iternary, places to visit and and nice picturesque hotels to stay
Try "nasi padang" in UK. it's one of the indonesian food and yes, nasi padang is there in the UK.
Volcano...waterfalls...bali safari
Good job Joel!!!
Awesome video thank you! I was wondering how one goes about finding and booking long term accommodation in Bali if planning on staying there?🌿
Really informative video thanks man
Hi ! For the grab and Gojack it could be parking fees they can ask you if you pay by cash, beter to mention :)
Thanks for promoting another part of indonesia , indonesia is so huge .. but mostly people in the world didnt realize it and only know bali to vacation in indonesia which is funny. :)) how about another 16999++ islands LOL
I just stumbled across your channel like a day ago, and I've been binge watching EVERY Southeast Asia video you've made, I've at least watched like 10 videos by now. I know there's multiple videos about this, but I just have one question you've probably answered by now. Can a 19 year old, like me , travel around South Asia (alone), go to all these beautiful countries around South Asia (alone), get a bike or moped, and a SIM card, and take all my camera equipment, stay in medium well hotels and hostels (half and half), carry 2 bags (like one of your other videos said), shoot footage, meet new locals and make friends and all of this ALL OF MY OWN, I unfortunately don't know anyone who's interested in traveling so I'm kind of sad and a little scared I have to go on my own ): I have the median budget for it, but do you genuinely think I can do it ? Your answer to this will GENUINELY decide my decision to go next summer or not, also I'm from California so it would also be considering a long flight (I've never flown alone before). I'm genuinely curious if you think someone like me can do it.
Bro I did this at 18 years on hardly any money, and you for sure can certainly do this, everything is possible this idea you can bring to life and make a reality! So excited for you get that flight ticket booked!
@@Joelfriend thank you so much man, I honestly appreciate your response a ton. I’ll do more research and comment on another video how that goes. Have a good day bro!
@@venkputta271 You're gonna rock this! Just believe in yourself and everything is gonna be fine. Wish you all the best :)
