Bali International Airport Arrival Guide for First Timers 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2023
- in todays bali travel video vlog I visit bali international airport where I provide you with a guide and tour around bali international airport and share all the information you will need to know if you are arriving in bali for the very first time. money changers how to obtain a sim card and getting a taxi from the airport/harris hotel to your hotel stay in bali. all information provided in this video is current 2023 information.
I THINK ALL TRANSPORTATION PRICES FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO ARE HIGHER THAN USUAL. I EXPECT PRICES TO BECOME CONSIDERABLY LESS FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FROM HARRIS HOTEL
VIDEO CONTENT: A guide to bali international airport for first time visitors to bali. information provided in this video on money changers, sim cards/data packages/taxi.
WHO IS THIS VIDEO FOR: this video will offer a useful guide to bali international airport for those whom are first time visitors to bali, indonesia. this video will provide all the information you need to know for all budget types and offer an in-depth guide of what to expect upon arrival to bali international airport in 2023
MONEY CHANGERS: there are now 4 money changers within the arrivals hall at the international airport all offer exactly the same exchange rates with no commission charges. money exchange rates at the airport are lower than the money exchange rates that you will find at the street money changers in all the popular tourist areas.
MONEY CHANGERS: Mandiri, Bri, Bni, Btn
ATM MACHINES: you will find 3 atm machines located next to the mandiri money changer.
SIM CARD: There are 4 different companies in the international airport arrivals hall offering sim cards & data packages where prices start from 250,000idr.
4 TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES: XL, Telcomsel, IM3, Smartfren
OPERATING HOURS OF SIM CARD PROVIDERS: XL STAFF ADVISED ME THAT OPERATION HOURS ARE 07:00AM-03:00AM.
all international tourists arriving in bali whom wish to use internet whilst travelling around bali will be required to purchase an indonesian sim card. registration of the sim card is required by the company whom you purchase your sim card from, the company will require access to your phone device to install the sim card and register the card, this process will take a maximum of 5 minutes.
CAN I PURCHASE A SIM CARD OUTSIDE OF THE AIRPORT: it is possible to purchase a sim card outside of the airport however this can sometimes be a little difficult to find because many places sell sim cards but cannot complete the registration process, at the airport you are dealing direct with the telecommunications providers.
PURCHASING SIM CARD FROM THE STREET: you must be very careful if you decide to purchase a sim card data package from the street as in most instances the deal may seem better on the street than what is on offer at the airport but this is not usually the case as packages bought from the street will not be unlimited packages (unless same price as in airport) it will be split data.
TAXI: Taxi prices from bali international airport have now become expensive (even for such short journeys), 5 taxi options/booths are available within the bali international airport arrivals area. the first 2 options available Goldenbird & Discova will be the most expensive options available at the airport.
PRICES FOR TAXI FROM AIRPORT AND CHEAPER OPTION FROM HARRIS HOTEL USING GRAB APPLICATION: ALL PRICES BELOW I CHECKED USING THE GRAB APPLICATION ON MY DAY OF VISIT TO BALI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WHEN MAKING THIS VIDEO THINK PRICES ARE HIGHER DUE TO TIME OF YEAR (3RD JANUARY) I WOULD EXPECT PRICES TO BE LOWER ESPECIALLY ON MOTORBIKE TAXI OPTIONS FROM HARRIS HOTEL. PLEASE NOTE MY PRICES SHOWN ARE TO CENTRAL AREA IN EACH ZONE THEREFORE YOUR PRICE MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY FROM THE ONES SHOWN BELOW. THIS INFORMATION IS TO BE USED AS A PRICE GUIDE ONLY. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT PRICES FROM AIRPORT & HARRIS HOTEL ARE FOR 1-4 PERSON BIGGER CAR PRICE WILL BE HIGHER

Thank you so much for this tip, Gary! We followed your path and were easily able to grab a grab from the Harris Hotel and saved a lot of money! Worth to mention that we even were able to use the Harris WiFi from the parking as we were not able to buy a SIM card at the domestic arrival. Cheers Mate! Hendrik from Germany
Well done for following the route to the Harris hotel and using the best option of transportation method from the airport. I have used this option for many years.
I haven't even arrived into Bali yet I feel I've saved a bunch of $$$ through this vid alone!!!. The comments section have also helped heaps, thank you Gary and all.
Glad to hear you found the information in the video useful😁.
thanks for sharing
You are welcome🙂
Yes...get out from the airport...everything is cheaper and better outside of the airport...Suksema 🙏🏻
Thank you soooo so much for this detailed video… I couldn’t be more thankful 🙏❤️ this helped me alot to plan for the bali arrival trip and how to manage the expenses 🙏 you are the best
So Glad you find the information useful😁. Many thanks for your comment
thank you Gary. My wife and I will be spending our honeymoon in Bali in October and this have been very informative.
You are very welcome, i hope you have a wonderful honeymoon in Bali
We had the hotel send us a car free to pick us up from the airport to the hotel. Can be done if priorly arranged. Ours was the Ramayana in Kuta.
Great vid as usual, I love the ordered, methodical way you present information, like a living guide book in a good way👍
Many thanks just trying to help provide accurate information. I will be going back here next month to check again as the taxi prices had gone up considerably in comparison to my video from the airport 3 months ago.
I travel with just “carry on backpack” so Gojek motorcycle is the go from Harris hotel, thanks.
@@alanbrookes6637 yes is best to walk to harris hotel and order gojek or grab bike, don't take the grab & gojek just outside the airport at the grab pickup point as it is same prices as inside the airport.
Very helpful video for our first visit to Bali. Thank you very much.
Glad you find the video helpful. Hope you have a wonderful Bali holiday😃.
Thank you for your advice, my girlfriend and I took a Grab in front of the Harris hotel for just 38k to Legian.
You are welcome glad to help😊
Wow! Great video Gary. Then I looked in the description and saw that you had typed out all of that wonderful information. Even though the prices may change a bit, this video is a great resource for people. Thank you so much!
I plan to update this soon. I have to get permison to film in that area of the airport as they have security guards. When i get my new camera I will update this video🙂. Many thanks for your comment
I always took Grab in front of Haris Hotel😁, before Covid was my last time I visited then I walked outside the airport by Motorbikes parkingspot. Now I see they changed the exit gate, but I think stil the same distance 👍
Me too I have always taken grab from the Harris hotel as it is always the best priced and quickest option. You will overpay considerably inside the airport and by the time as you get outside of the airport if using a taxi from inside the airport it will be the same time as walking to the Harris hotel.
Thank you Gary we love your videos
Many thanks Rhonda😁
Gary, you have the most helpful, detailed useful videos about traveling to Bali!. Thank you for all these.
Glad you find the videos useful😁
Will do. Thanks again. Any other tips will be appreciated.
good job
Thanks Gary, as usual for a seasoned Bali traveller like myself, you are on the mark. Travel is much more expensive then the past. BUT is Australia we pay 2-3 times more.
It's your currency that's weak
great informative, thanks, visiting from 26 Jan to 1 Feb 23
Glad to help😁 hope you have a great holiday in bali

Great video Gary you show everything in detail what travellers needs to know Thank you
I do the best i can and try to put myself in the travellers shoes
@@balibygary9718 Thanks for the reply Gary, can I asked your opinion, I am not sure about my travel to Bali mid January, I understand you can't predict the weather, but..I am concerned about slipping in the wet weather I slipped over February two years ago, made quite a bit of damage wondering should I change to April I am older now and solo
Hope this is okay putting this on.
Thank you
@@margaretsmollen405 bali is currently experiencing quite a lot of rain & windy weather by april the weather has usually become more settled with dry days. I understand what you are saying about it being slippy during the wet season as i have being walking and fell a few times myself😁. April should certainly be better weather.
Thank you so much Gary
Thank you for this detailed and information packed video.
You're welcome😁
Excellent work 👍

Thank you Gary! You’re a star 👍🏼👏🏼
You're welcome, hope the information helps🙂
@@balibygary9718 Of course it helps a lot. The last time I went to Bali was in the summer of 2019. To get from the airport to Mall Kartika Plaza I didn't use any transportation service at the airport, instead, I walked to the main road got a taxi there and paid only Rp15000 which was about 1 USD. I didn't know that things had changed until I saw your video.
Great video
Many thanks😁

@@TheMileZombies i could not answer that sorry. All atm and card use here has charges attached.
Thank you Gary very helpful 👍
Many changes now at the airport since my last airport video guide, taxi has become very expensive now from inside the airport. I will visit the airport again next month in february to see if things have changed again.

One suggestion keep your printed comments on screen for a few more seconds for old guy eyes.
So much is changing so rapidly at the airport that I’m sure you’ll be back again soon.
Cheers
Ok noted, many thanks for your comment
The best thing to do is to pause the video. Also, if you find that someone speaks too fast or slowly for you, you can click on the "gear/setting" button and slow down or speed up the video. I do it all of the time. Well wishes!
Thanks Gary! Great video mate 🙂 We now know where to catch our first taxi and where to buy some tasty street food Dewi Sri.
Legian food court also good street food place but a little more pricy than Dewi street food court, also many more local warungs on jalan Dewi street this is a great street to find local food at good prices, i will make a video soon in this area to show this great street. There are also some fabulous local warungs on jalan nakula which are featured in my Arana suites video.
Omggg! Thank you so much for this.
You're welcome hope the information helps😁.
Thank you mate.
Wonderful video Gary, earned yourself an honest sub!
Many thanks, glad you found the video useful😁
thanks! great information.
You're welcome
Hey Gary, thanks, it's very useful!
You're welcome
Good stuff Gary, the last couple of times we went to Bali before Covid to avoid the taxi costs we would walk out of the arrivals section and all the shops then take the stairs up to the departure area then walk down the ramp to where the taxi's use to drop off and ask a taxi driver that had just dropped off people for a lift. I suppose that option has been stopped now, we are going back to Bali for the first time since Covid later on in the year.
You may still be able to do that however you will have to be very careful because if the taxi drivers waiting in arrivals see that it will cause trouble for the driver & also unless you know the approx price to your destination then I don't advise using this method as there is no transparency in price. Many of the bluebird drivers do not want to use the meter and ask for a fixed price and even if they use the meter they go the long way round and hit all the busy traffic to bump up the metered fair rate. Grab & go car prices are transparent and if using the applications from the Harris hotel I 100% guarantee this will be the cheapest option from the airport. Things have changed in a big way now at the airport with taxi prices.
Hi Gary great info on our favourite place in Bali sanur we have been going there for 35 Yrs we are coming back in April last time there was when Bali closed down due to covid a very sad moment we got married at emerald villas in sanur 8 Yrs ago and loved it so now looking forward to our trip back and can’t wait to see our Bali family friends and drink Bintang with a view 🎉 happy new year mate. From Travis
Sanur is my home in bali, most of my content for the last 3 weeks is all sanur as i keep getting requests which i am happy to fulfil if possible to help people have a more enjoyable holiday in sanur. April will soon be here😁. Happy New Year.
Very informative, Gary. Thank you.
You're welcome
Super 👍👍👍
13:06 That is a crazy price from Grab to go to Sanur Rp269.000, it's more expensive than the other Taxi companies!
Yes i agree the others at the airport were even more expensive. They were asking 300 just to kuta. I will go back next month and check again the prices because prices had changed drastically from my last vist 3 months ago.
Great Gary!!
Many thanks
Thank you so much!
You're very welcome
Nice thank you for this video. We are coming to Bali soon and yes a lot of people will asking for taxi with higher price. I pay rp 500k to ubud but when they drop us they asking extra so in all i pay rp 600k. That was 3 years ago
All taxis inside the airport now are very expensive. My findings upon making this video found that walking to the Harris hotel and using the grab or go application to order your transport is the cheapest option, however this method might not be suitable for all as you do have to consider taking your luggage along the track to the Harris hotel.
@@balibygary9718 thats true. Now is the choice which one they choice. I speak balinese and I can just take one from airport and ofcourse bargains for a good price before decide to go in the taxi. Nowadays a lot of asking so much price, specially when you are white or tourists. Thanks Again Gary your video is helping a lot of tourists for sure👍
@@JanahLife there is no bargaining at the airport unless you can meet a private driver or catch a taxi that is dropping someone off at the airport. Things have changed a lot now at the airport since the pandemic. There is not so many private drivers at the airport like before lingering around waiting for customers, you need to walk to the carpark area to find them and maybe you can negotiate a better price.
Great informative post. Just asking if you can do a more up to date update around the beginning of May 2023, which will be of great assistance to measure the changes over the 6 month period…Thanks in advance ✈️😎👍🏻
I will try, it is not easy filming inside the airport because of security.
@@balibygary9718 hey thanks for the great video,we think to travel to Bali in december this year,can you explain if there is a vaccine control? Do we still beed certificates?
@@linabella1218 for the best and most accurate bali information watch this guy.
ua-cam.com/video/yOQYeY2_d6Y/v-deo.html
Thank you for the video. I will just walk to Harris Hotel when i will arrive to Bali next time. Can you also do video about teman bus? How to pay there, how to get non cash card for paying there and how good is this service. Thank you so much. 👍🏻
I will be going back to the airport again next month to check because i was shocked at the prices of taxis from the airport so i think this video and information may need to keep updating the prices for car & bike taxis that i show in the video even from the harris hotel were unusually high in comparison to the prices from the airport in my last visit there 3 months prior to this video.
ua-cam.com/video/A09WSdAXJBU/v-deo.html
Great video Gary. Very helpful. Just wondering if it is safe to walk from the airport to Harris Hotel at night. My flight arrives at 9 pm. I am just anxious that there might be muggers in the area?
Safe in that area, late night (12pm) is usually when i arrive when i go outside of Bali, 11 years living in Bali using this method never once had a problem.
Thank you very much ...great info, will be going to Bali in October. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Glad to help😁. Hello from Bali
@@balibygary9718 any suggestions in Sanur where I can stay ? I am splitting my stay in two starti g in Sanur and after Nusa Penuda, any suggestions also for my second part for accomodation ?
@@adv67 i have covered many hotel options in sanur that you can find in my video collection. Budget travellers best area is probably sindhu area as it is close to sindhu night market some great local warungs on jalan tandakan and coffee shops on the bypass ngurah also a great collection of warungs at sindhu beach. My personal favourite area is jalan duyung as it is so close to everything and has a great collection of restaurants on the beach and is very close to jalan danau Tamblingan, jalan danau poso & jalan cemara. These 2 videos will show you the areas around the locations of sindhu and jalan Duyung. I have so many videos on all kinds of accommodation in sanur. ua-cam.com/video/UAgmhNSxr0Y/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/K5NGRnc86K4/v-deo.html
@@balibygary9718 thank-you so much
@@adv67 you're welcome hard to answer your question as i have covered so many accommodations, if you are asking me for the best homestay/guest house i have seen then in no particular order Gunakaya homestay garden rooms, puri kesari guesthouse, radha homestay, best location jalan duyung, duyung homestay asoka homestay.
Nice video I am bali. The better order cheaper sim and taxi it's from klook and everything example Phillipines some hooping tour it's cheaper the klook after you give reviews and they give free cretid
Cheapest taxi is 100% using the grab application from the Harris hotel just 400 meters walk from arrivals hall at the airport. Cheapest sim and best deal currently for tourists is from smartfren office outside of the airport. Thanks for the additional info.
@@balibygary9718 thanks for Answer I take taxi from I airport from klook 100K. You take motorbike bali?
@@tjatravelavocation9737 i use both forms of transport to/from the airport depends if I have suitcase or not. 100k to where?
@@balibygary9718 kuda beach. You know the app klook? It's my first day. I don't know what I do where I go district dow. I want take motorbike but I don't have international Drive liecence. I here police check and pay penalty. It's true? I don't take motor. But difficult I see the bali. If you can help will I I appreciated
@@tjatravelavocation9737yes i would not recommend that you drive a motorbike now without an international driving licence as there are many police checks now. international driving licence you can apply for through bikago offices in Bali, it takes upto 3 days to obtain. Your closest Bikago office is in seminyak.www.bikago.com/bali/?gclid=CjwKCAjw0N6hBhAUEiwAXab-TYU0klG1HP7mdtIIvJNxFtGlIbPuSkop1NTSfjuIoxoklhS-QR2HMBoCECEQAvD_BwE
Thank you so much for those precious information, I’ll be flying to DPS in October, can you tell me if I can store my luggage at the airport? Not sure if I’ve missed it !
Thanks so much
I am not 100% sure but i don't think there is a luggage storage at the airport.
Thanks Gary! You are the best !
Is anyone could answer my question
Is it safe to walk to Harris hotel at 10-11 PM?
Yes i have walked that section of street many times later than the time you are asking and never have any problems
Thanks Gary,
We leave tomorrow to come to Bali for our first time. Our first stay is in Uluwatu, so after watching your video it might be best for us to walk to the hotel and get a ride from there.
Yes i am sure from inside the airport to uluwatu will be expensive. Use the grab or go car app from the harris hotel or flag a bluebird cab down from there. Some blubird cabs will ask for fixed price and others will use the meter hard to say which is best as all depends on time of day arrival and traffic on the bypass which heading to uluwatu can sometimes be very busy.
@@balibygary9718 Good to know, our flight arrives at 3:30pm so I'm sure that's a busy time?
@@lolly28 yes by the time as you get through immigration and baggege collection i think you will be past 17:00pm so this will usually be a busy time on the roads. I came through immigration 3 months ago I was 1hr 30 minutes in the queue, hope you get lucky and don't have to wait to long.
Hi thank you for this video. I was wondering where the tourist visa purchases are made at the airport?
I am not 100% sure on this as my visa is different to that of a tourist visa therefore i already have my visa prior to arrival in bali. Last time i came through immigration 2 months ago i only saw everyone walk straight to the queue at the immigration counters.
You can do it online b4 arriving in Bali saves you wasting time at the airport
Yes visa on arrival cost 35 dolar
How can the Telkomsel mobile internet data packages be "unlimited" when the data caps are listed right on the left side of the card. It's the same with all the different cell carriers 🤔 When I was last in Bali in June, the best I could do with those Bluebird guys out front near the Grab Lounge was IDR 260k to Sanur. That's a great taxi hack going to the Harris Hotel 😁
The data unlimited means you can use the data for everything. Example many data packages that you buy on the street in bali will be split data packages example 5gb browsing 5gb youtube. Unlimited simply means you can use the data for everything. All taxis from inside the airport now have become alot more expensive. I have lived in Bali for 11 years and have always used the harris hotel with grab or go applications or before they exsisted i took a bluebird from the front of the harris hotel. I recommend that you download both applications as now grab has started to become more expensive than go car or go bike.
I am using the Harris hotel transfer service form Int’l arrivals as I have a big surfboard bag with me. They have shown me a pic of a little money changer ‘outside’ the airport but after 30 or so trips I can’t picture where it is. It has a brown wood panel look front counter with a green wall to its left and green seats outside for customers. Is that out the front near the Grab lounge?
There is a small moneychanger near the Grab lounge.
Amazing video, so helpful. Can you please also perhaps make a video for people who don't know how to ride motorbikes and what are their options? Thanks!
Many thanks for your comment and suggestion, where do you intend on travelling in bali? Do you just wish to stay in the popular tourist areas and just require information on how to get around or do you wish to travel to other less tourist areas in Bali?
@@balibygary9718 Thank you for your prompt response! I wish to do both, getting around to sightseeing and stepping out for lunch/dinner at different places. Unfortunately, both I and my partner don't know how to ride a motorbike and that seems to put us at a considerable disadvantage from what I have been researching :( What would you suggest based on your experience, please? Thanks for this Gary, really appreciate it :)
@@nuzeefasayed4134 motorbike is undoubtably the best way to travel around Bali. Other options around the main tourist areas are electric bike rental, gojek/gocar/grab bike/ grab car are inexpensive & very transparrent online taxi application services that many tourists use to get around. Bluebird taxis circle the streets in all the popular tourist areas where you stand on the side of the street and flag the taxi down, blubird are meter taxis. Travelling to the furthest parts of bali you need to rent a motorbike or car, you can also find many Indonesians on the streets offering transportation services by car and motorbike to many destinations around Bali. Car & driver 10-12 hr prices range from 500-750,000 (price includes driver/car/ fuel) price usually depends on distance to be travelled.
@@balibygary9718 That is really helpful. Definitely saving these in my notes. Thank you so much! :) Keep making these videos, these are superb!
Hi Gary coming to Bali for 16 days later in year do we have to get a visa Thanks
Visa on arrival current price is 500,000 idr.
Im going to Buy Euro
Thank you. I was just thinking about sims, money and getting out the airport plus transport costs so this video is awesome. I'll be landing at midnight. Do you think it's safe to walk alone to the hotel?
Yes will be ok airport area should still be busy at night. Immigration may take a long time i came through immigration 3 months ago i was waiting 1hr 30 minutes
Sim card so expensive , here 100GB indosat 135K
Perbandingannya karena Grab Car more expensive than motorcycle
Yes everything at the airport now is high price, i will keep checking this information as it changes quickly. A grab car will always be more expensive than a motorcycle no matter when or where you take it from.
Thank you for this wonderful guide. Is it possible to walk with 2 luggage and one kids to Harris hotel from 9pm arrival?
Yes it is possible it's pavement and road all the way.
Nice video but to walk with a suitcase in the heat to save £10 while you just spent £££ on your holiday seems crazy. Compromise and get a taxi from your hotel.
I am just showing all options available from the airport, some people don't have suitcases. You choose the option that is best for your needs & budget. Your option is the most expensive.
R there any videos on best eateries around seminyak?
Have many places to eat along jalan raya seminyak, also Jalan arjuna leading to double 6 beach & many along the road at double six beach, you can also try Jalan Nakula this is a great eat street.
A lot has changed in 30 years
Yes i think so
Hi Gary, thank you so much for doing this, Are there no metered taxis like Bluebird?
Yes have metered taxis but very difficult to get one inside the airport, literally all transport from the airport ask fixed prices. Some people say go upto the departures level and go outside and catch a bluebird taxi from where they drop people off for flight departures, however i don't personally advise this unless you know exactly where you are going and what the price should be. from my 20 years of experience and 11 years living in Bali it is very difficult to find an honest and reliable driver that will use the meter and even if they do use the meter they will take you the long way round and hit all the traffic to bump up the price. Most bluebird drivers ask for a fixed price and it will be in-line with what bluebird charges from their counter inside the airport. Grab & go car are transparent prices ( you know exactly what you will pay)but unfortunately grab have become very expensive from inside the airport now. If you walk to the harris hotel and use the go car or grab car applications from there that will be the most transparent and 100% the cheapest price. If you don't want to buy a sim card then still is best to walk to the harris hotel and just get a bluebird from there and use one that will use the meter. No easy anymore inside the airport.
@@balibygary9718 thank you. Do I have to use Rupiah for VOA or are there other options?
@@sarilestari4285 i think it has to be paid in rupiah or maybe us dollar but I am not 100% sure on this. Contact bali whats up channel for all visa info. ua-cam.com/video/xRFYc7VzcGw/v-deo.htmlsi=gxiWIa57ssAOsiJX
U tried goin to departure hall upstairs n flagging down a bluebird??
No because this can cause problems and fighting with the bluebird counter drivers at the counter area if they see this happening so i will not show that as an option. It is still less than half price from the Harris hotel usimg the grab application taxi even if you could find an honest driver to take you to your destination from inside the airport. If you really know the streets of Bali then the bus from the airport is the cheapest option. If you took a taxi from inside the airport these taxi can take a long time to get outside of the airport due to having to qeue at the payment gate upon exiting the airport you may as well just take the short walk to the Harris hotel use the grab or go app and save a considerable amount of money and also probably arrive at your destination hotel quicker.
13:02 will there be additional highway toll fees that will have to be added to those prices? Can't you walk from the airport to Kuta?
Yes you can walk from the airport to kuta. No fees to be added to prices unless you are travelling to Sanur or Ubud and you want to use the toll road, but you can also travel on the bypass ngurah rai to sanur & ubud without toll road fees, prices shown in the video are using the bypass not the toll road.
Do you still have to line up at the airport to pay for the visa on arrival?
Yes this is still very long i went to kuala lumpur less than 2 months ago i was 1hr 30 minutes waiting in line at immigration
4:37 are you talking about the IMEI registration? This can only be done at SIM card shops?
Some places can do the registration on the street also, Other people have advised me they have done the registration thereselves, i am not 100% sure as i live in bali for 11 years so i have indonesian phone and sim card. The airport telkomsel told me when i asked that they do the registration.
Doesn't Harris hotel have a free bus from the airport? Where do you pick up this bus Gary?
I don't think any hotel has a free airport pick-up and even if they say they do the price will be hidden in the room price. If staying at Harris hotel close to airport better to just walk as it will be quicker than a taxi.
Is it the same to Bali airport from Kuta beach? Go to the Harris Hotel first is better directly to the airport. It is much cheaper!
Beachwalk shopping mall kuta - international airport price: car 64,000 motorbike 23,000 beachwalk shopping mall kuta - harris hotel price: car 45,000 motorbike 16,000 . These are the current prices using grab application. Hope this information helps
@@balibygary9718 Thanks
Everything more expensive because more tourists visit the island???? Not good system for tourist industry...😔
Thanks for the info...i have in my mind the last prices☺️
Tourism is only high now due the festive season rest of the time i would say bali is only 25%-30% to what it used to be before the pandemic. I was amazed at the prices from the airport and how high they were, just walking 400-500 meters to harris hotel was a big difference in price. I will go back again in february and check everything again as i feel this video may need to be keep updating as things are changing so fast.
Hi Gary,are the grab rates from the airport still inflated in line with the taxi mafia as per your video? I see people elsewhere suggesting otherwise.
I have not being to the airport for a while but I guarantee you will not get cheaper prices than those from the Harris Hotel, I have always used this location, I have lived in Bali 11 years first started coming to Bali 2001, I only include my findings and back it up with proof using the Grab application in the video. People in the comments have told me it is exactly as I say best price was from the Harris hotel. I just use the video to show all options available, the tourist can then choose which option they take. There is also a bus service which can save you money but it is a bit complicated unless you know the streets and areas of Bali and you would also probably need to use a taxi to complete your journey as this is not a door to door service. I plan to visit again in May and update the information. It is not easy to film at the airport because of security. I have just checked on my phone from the grab pick-up point just on the outside of the airport fence to Sanur ranges from 228,000-376,000 depending on car type and size, from Harris hotel for same journey ranges from 72,000 -88,000 depending on car size. I cannot check the prices from inside the airport without being at the airport but they will be the same or probably more than from the Grab pick-up point on the outside of the airport. TRIP ADVISOR IS USUALLY FULL OF MANY FAKE REVIEWS AND INFORMATION I NEVER USE THIS SITE AS A GUIDE.
Thanks Gary,I don't doubt your video as you show grab screenshots of prices. a well known 'tripadvisor' has prolific posters suggesting' get a grab from the airport for next to nothing' I suspect they haven't done this.I'll take a walk to the Harris hotel if I'm up to it.cheers.
@@David-uo2oc i have just added the prices for you to compare in my first reply i have just checked from my phone
Is there any vaccine I need to have a part from Covid ? What would the things to look for in order to stay healthy in Bali ?
it really depends on where you plan to travel to during your stay in Indonesia. if you only intend on staying in the tourist areas of Bali and sticking to the main streets then you should be pretty safe. if you plan on travelling to other islands and areas of Indonesia then maybe you should consider Dengue Vaccine & anti malarial tablets. mosquitos can also be a problem in Bali depending on your travel destinations.
Have read in an Facebook Group that Someone having problems to register a telekomsel Simcard in an iPhone. Do they offer to show you that the Card you buy does actually work in your phone?
That is why i would only reccomend that you buy the simcard from either the providers at the airport or the actual telecommunication companies offices, buying from the street can be a problem unless you know a trustworthy place. Keep your receipt if you buy from the airport or the telecommunication offices they will fix it if any problems from the street there will be no guarantee. Once they install your sim card you can try it straight away to see if it works
Great video and very useful information Gary, thank you! We have been to Bali 4 years ago and heading up there again soon, looks like a lot has changed. Do you think we will be able to take Grab from Harris Hotel even if we get out of the airport around 11.30pm? We have a late flight that lands around 10.30pm, so I'm not sure if we will be able to get something this late! The hotel offered us quite pricey transport to Nusa Dua (280k), so we want to take the cheaper way. Do you think we will be alright to get something around that time? Thank you!
Many flights land during the night period and immigration can be very slow, i came through immigration on a night flight from kuala lumpur to bali and i was 1hr 30 minutes in a queue some people i have spoke to have waited longer than I did. Usually grab cars will still be available around middnight, i will check tonight using the grab application to see if it is still possible and let you know. Best you download grab and go car and have the 2 applications, they are both very similar prices.
Ok i have just checked on the grab app from Harris Hotel (12pm midnight) to Nusa Dua Beach showing drivers still available price 100-119,000 ( grab car 1-4 seats/ grab xl 1-6 seats)
@@balibygary9718 that's fantastic, thank you so much, really appreciate it!
great video, i want to do the last opion but is it safe at night to walk there? iwill arrive on 9 pm :)
No need to worry, you will be safe.
Thank You
Hi Gary I went to tellekoncel at Bali mall Galeria SIM card 25GB for 150k and I found the Blue bird taxis the best or Grab
Glad to hear you got a better deal on the sim card than those at the airport, on my research of sim outside the airport for tourists smartfren was the best deal. Best prices on taxi car and motorbike was from harris hotel. The purpouse of the video is just to show all options available, the final decision on the option to take rests with the tourist😁.
Is there a esim option?
I am not sure, i will enquire about this. Many thanks for your question.
We will go to Bail next month. Would you tell me how much Gojek car from Harris Hotel to Kuta beach?
I just checked from Harris hotel -kuta beach (beachwalk shopping mall) on grab app price is showing promo 13,000 (normal 25,000) xl car 1-6 persons 17,000 (normal price 29,000) motorbike promo 2,000 (normal price 12,000). Hope this helps😁. Price sunday 30th april 2023 time 08:00
Thanks so much
