Holiday In Bali Doesn't Have To Be Expensive! Here Are 6 Things You Can Do

Did you know that a holiday in Bali doesn't have to be expensive, as many people have often said? One of many misconceptions is that Bali is synonymous with luxurious resorts, but it’s far from the truth.

Of course, you can go to these beautiful places. But you can do all of those without breaking your bank, including for accommodations. After all, holidaying in Bali equals enjoying the experience.

How To Make Your Holiday In Bali Doesn't Have To Be Expensive

1.    Do Extensive Research

This is crucial as you need to know the places you want to visit and match them with your time and budget. Doing extensive research will prepare you to enjoy your holiday without much hassle. At the very least, you get to see all of your options to have the best holiday of a lifetime.

2.    Rent Your Ride

Transportation in Bali can give you a serious headache, especially if you’re used to relying on public transport. The narrow streets and countless scooters can make getting around quite challenging. That’s why renting a car is one of the best options to enjoy your holiday with more freedom and comfort. With a rental car, you can stop wherever you like and explore Bali at your own pace.

For a worry-free experience, we highly recommend renting from Tripkaikai, a trusted partner for transportation in Bali. In celebration of their 2nd anniversary, Tripkaikai is also offering special discounts—making your holiday not only more convenient but also more affordable.

3.    Choose a Strategic Place to Stay

One mistake that many people make is to plan their travel with zero consideration for where they stay. Eventually, they feel tired of the commute and prefer to scrap the whole plan altogether.

If you plan to visit Bali for all of the fun at the clubs and late-night parties, then you should stay around Seminyak and Kuta, as the heart of all parties in Bali. You can easily walk to the bars and have fun all night long.

4.    Choose the Right Agent

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when visiting Bali, so many people will come up to you and offer their services. The problem is, you don't speak the language, and they can be very persistent in their effort.

Whether it's a travel agent for the whole trip or a single activity, do consider their professionalism and experience. Take notes from all of the recommendations and warnings you get from the veterans.

5     Fun Activities You Can Do Without Breaking Your Bank

1.    Trekking in Mount Batur

Two of the most popular mountains in Bali are Mount Agung and Mount Batur. As both offer massive experience with gorgeous landscapes, they cater to different types of visitors. Mount Batur, which is only half the height of Mount Agung, is perfect for a first timer.

Standing at 1700 meters high, Mount Batur offers a stunning rice paddy landscape as you hike. You can take the trek on foot, or hop on a 4x4 jeep for a round-trip around the mountain. Being a shorter mountain also means you can include this trek as a day excursion.

2.    Bayad Waterfall

Many locals consider this small waterfall a hidden gem, thus making it perfect if you want a secluded place to admire nature. The place is open to the public from 8 am to 5 pm, and you only need to pay Rp 20,000 per person.

Bayad waterfall is a perfect place as a stopover when you’re traveling north to the Singaraja region. It’s only 20 20-minute ride from Mount Batur, so you can easily include it in your itinerary.

3.    Samsara Living

The combination of lush greenery and traditional Balinese buildings will make you feel a lot calmer. You will definitely love this place and cannot wait to return.
