Arrival and departure
On arrival at Bali, you will part with over 30 USD to acquire the visa. If you are planning to stay in Bali for more than 30 days ask your agent to get you an extension which will cost you an extra 80 USD. A passport picture is required for this application so ensure to have a couple of passport pictures with you during the travel.
A departure tax is charged at the end of your stay at the islands and it is advisable to keep aside money for that. It is important to leave your hotel on time for the airport on your departure day as the traffic in Bali is unpredictable and can get congested at time causing delays.
Accommodation
Even though Bali is a small island, choosing a place to stay can be hard as its different beaches offer their own set of features. The quality of accommodation services offered will usually be reflected in the prices quoted. There are various Bali honeymoon resorts available for you to sample.
Getting around
Taxis are easily available from the airport to your hotel but they tend to be expensive. Remember to ask the taxi driver to turn on the meter so that you won’t have issues when it comes to determining the price to pay.
It is more convenient to have a pre-arranged driver to pick you up at the airport and most Bali honeymoon resorts offer assistance in making the arrangements. It is cheaper than taking a taxi and offers more comfort.
If you are internationally insured you can get yourself one of those good looking scooters and drive around at your own convenience. It makes movement easy as you maneuver through the congested roads with ease. Be sure to pick a helmet from the rental office if you opt for the scooter.
