Going to Bali

By Rail

From Jakarta, Bandung or Yogyakarta, travel first to Surabaya's Gubeng Station. A first-class train, Mutiara Utara, connects Jakarta with Surabaya everyday. This train departs from Jakarta's Kota Station in the late afternoon and arrives in Surabaya early the next morning. From Surabaya, you can choose between two daily departures from Gubeng Station for the 8-hour trip on the Mutiara Timur, a non-airconditioned train headed for Banyuwangi, and later catch the ferry to Bali. A bus will then take you across the straits on the ferry and over to Denpasar.

By Bus

It is true that you cannot actually travel to and from Bali by bus, but there are plenty of buses that link Bali with the rest of Indonesia by using the public ferry - the cost of which is included in the bus fare. With improved roads, the bis malam or night bus from Java to Bali is now faster than the train, although one cannot deny its dangers. There are air-conditioned buses from Surabaya to Denpasar, which take about 10 to 12 hours, and from Yogya to Denpasar, which is a 15 to16 hour trip. Most Indonesians travel this way, but you must be prepared to tolerate cigarette smoke and noise. Non-smoking buses are not available and the volume of videos are usually at their highest. Be sure to specify air-conditioned to avoid inhaling the noxious fumes spewed out by trucks and buses. Look up the Lorena buses, which are suppose to be the best in Bali; it will cost you a little more but deluxe services and a toilet is included. Buses usually depart from Jakarta at 9 a.m., 1.30 p.m. or 2 p.m. and arrive in Denpasar 24 hours later.

By Car

Cars are up for rent in Java and can be driven to Bali. However, the cost will be as much as hiring both chauffeur and car, and there is always the hassle of returning the car. Drive to Banyuwangi in East Java first and then take the ferry over to Bali.

The Best 10 airports in Australia

1. Gold Coast Airport

Once serving as an emergency landing area, the Gold Coast Airport has established itself as Australia’s fastest growing international airport and has serviced more than five million passengers this year. The airport scooped up numerous titles in the 2011 Skytrax World Airport Awards poll – a survey completed by 11.38 million airport customers and including more than 240 airports worldwide in its questionnaire – beating out Brisbane and Christchurch for the “Best Regional Airport” award in the Australia/Pacific category, as well as taking top honors over two New Zealand airports for “Staff Service Excellence.” The Australian Airports Association (AAA) named it the “Major Australian Airport of the Year” in 2010. Oh, and the Gold Coast region enjoys approximately 300 days of sunshine per year.

2. Brisbane Airport

Brisbane was named the third-best Australia/Pacific airport in the world by the Skytrax World Airport Awards poll this year, and it was the only Australian airport to make the worldwide Top 25 list in 2010 (coming in at #18). Brisbane is next up to start showing improvements: in late October, they secured a $500 million bank loan for infrastructure upgrades.

3. Melbourne International Airport (Tullamarine)

Ranked in the Top 5 list for the “world’s best airport servicing 15-25 million passengers” by the Airports Council International (ACI), the airport boasts the fourth most-travelled air route in the world (Melbourne to Sydney). Business Traveller Magazine has consistently ranked this airport in its Top 10 list. As of October 2011, service from Melbourne to Guangzhou has doubled to twice-daily flights for convenient travel to China’s capital.

4. Great Barrier Reef Airport – Hamilton Island

The setting for the “Best Job in the World” caretaker gig, Hamilton Island boasts a lively harbour yacht scene and enviable golf courses just minutes from the airport. Service to the island includes daily flights from Melbourne and Cairns, daily lunchtime flights from Sydney, and service from Brisbane twice a day. Corporate jets are welcome.

5. Sydney Kingsford-Smith International Airport

Australia’s busiest hub, Sydney Airport connects the country to 46 international, 23 domestic interstate and 28 regional destinations. A consistent winner of “Best Airport” and “Top 10 Airports” over the past decade by Skytrax, the World Travel Awards and Condé Nast, what makes that three-hour wait before an international flight worthwhile is the Qantas International First Lounge – think world-class dining, speedy wi-fi, two tech-equipped meeting rooms, and a Payot day spa.

6. Adelaide Airport

The Australian Airport Association (AAA) named the airport “Australia’s Best Capital City Airport” in 2006, followed by a #2 ranking in the Airports Council International’s Top 25 worldwide airport poll in the 5-15 million passengers category. Starting 24 November, Cathay Pacific will offer three non-stop flights per week over the summer to Hong Kong from Adelaide, and an earlier departure time to 36 other international destinations.

7. Canberra Airport

Set within the country’s first 5-star “Australian Excellence” Green Star rated business park at Brindabella Circuit, Canberra Airport is dedicated to sustainable practices. The airport produces its own electricity from natural gas fired generators and favours tri-generation technology to further green its everyday operations. Perhaps Julia Gillard will soon fly a vegie oil-powered jet from the ACT to cross-country meetings.

8. Perth International Airport

Australia’s fourth-busiest airport and one of its largest, Perth Airport serves as the gateway to several international business nations throughout Asia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates, helping earn its consecutive titles for “Australia Major Airport of the Year” awards in 2003 and 2004 by the Australian Airports Association(AAA).

9. Darwin International Airport

The Top End’s busiest airport, approximately 40 flights depart from Darwin International Airport daily. Released in October, a $60 million expansion of the airport will make  ita hub for travel to Southeast Asian nations – and a tourist destination within itself. The expansion completion is slated for 2014.

10. Townsville Airport

A bustling North Queensland town within close proximity to Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Townsville Airport services 1.6 million passengers per year.

Transportation in Bali island

The main forms of public transport on Bali are the cheap buses, minibuses and bemos that run on somewhat set routes within or between towns. Having your own transport can be arranged; there are bemos, cars, motorbikes, and bicycles for rent. Tourist shuttle buses that run between major tourist centers are more expensive than public transport but are definitely more comfortable and convenient.

Bemo

This is a generic term for any vehicle that is used as a public transport, which is normally a minibus or van with a row of low seats on each side. It is a great way to meet the locals, even though it is hot, dusty and full of diesel exhaust. The exciting part is that you do not have to get to a bemo stop to board a bemo, just extend your arm and flag one down! The fares may be cheap but beware of pickpockets. It is easy to charter a bemo or minivan in Bali, and it is an excellent way to travel anywhere with a group or family. The benefits of chartering a bemo are: there is no worry about having a license or insurance, the driver can be a real asset especially in Denpasar or larger towns where they speak English, and you do not have to worry about the horrific traffic. The chartered bemos with yellow plates are the only ones allowed to carry passengers anywhere around Bali. This type of bemo usually has conventional seats rather than benches and is often air-conditioned. They are more expensive than common bemos but are more convenient and comfortable. You would only have to listen for the frequent offers of 'transport' in the streets around the tourist centers or ask hotel staff; everyone knows someone who runs a bemo service.

Car Rental

Renting a car is simple in Bali but do consider the drawbacks. Firstly, you are removed from the people and the countryside, and you wouldn't want to stop too long in one place, no matter how appealing the place is as you are paying Rp. 70,000 or more on a daily basis. Secondly, driving in Bali is potentially hazardous and the consequences of an accident can be quite serious. Lastly, its effects on the environment are obvious and severe. Of course, you must be in possession of a valid Indonesian or international driver's license. Petrol is not included in the price and it is advisable to buy extra insurance. Test drive the car before paying in advance.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are popular means to get around Bali, but several tourists are killed in motorbike accidents each year, and many spend time in hospitals. There is no denying the dangers of riding a motorcycle in Bali and the island is no place for beginners to learn motorcycle riding. If you decide to rent one, drive slowly and very defensively. This is a convenient and inexpensive way to get around the island, helmets are required by law, and the ones provided by rental agencies are not much help when it comes to protection. Bring your own helmet from home if you know that you'll be using a motorcycle in Bali. The major advantage of traveling on a motorbike is the enormous flexibility. It is easy to stop wherever you want and recommence your journey whenever you choose. You do not really require motorbikes that are more than 200 cc as the distances are short and the roads are rarely suitable for traveling fast.

The cost of hiring a motorcycle is negotiable in Bali and varies according to the condition of the machine, length of rental, and time of year. Buying insurance is a good idea to avoid being responsible for damages, but be sure to test drive the vehicle to see that everything is in good working order. A valid International Driving Permit should be in possession or else spend a morning at the Denpasar Police Office to obtain a temporary permit, which lasts for three months, but the process can be a huge hassle. It would be wise to get an International Driving Permit in your own country.

Bicycles

Seeing Bali by pushbikes has become increasingly popular in recent years and the quality of rental bikes have improved. More visitors have been bringing their bicycles with them and there has been an increase in rental outlets. Some airlines will even carry your bike in for free. The most common ones offered are mountain bikes as their low gear ratios and softer tyres are better suited to Bali. Do make sure that the wheels are aligned properly, the brakes are working well, and that the bicycle has a light.

On Foot

The most pleasant way to see Bali is by foot as it is a small island. It would be possible to traverse the entire island by foot and many people do day hikes in and around Danau Batur, Danau Bratan, West Bali National Park, and around Ubud.
