Like I can control traffic and weather. Even funnier if you should want to contact the tour guides they recommend another app to do so, that’s a confidence builder.”

3.Bali Private Car Hire with Driver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,061 reviews · from $25

Hire a private air-conditioned car or minivan for up to 10 hours and shape your own Bali day with an English-speaking chauffeur. Drivers such as Troy, Oka, Gede, and Adi have helped plan routes around Ubud, temples, waterfalls, beaches, and rice terraces, with pickup from hotels, ports, or airports.

“Spent the day with Oka, who was such a nice and helpful guide. He took so many photos of us, which I really appreciated! Before the tour, I was a bit concerned about whether we’d actually get to see all the spots listed in the itinerary. The list is very long, and realistically, you won’t see everything in one day. My advice: choose 5–7 must-see locations and show them to your driver right when you get in the car. Oka was upfront about what was doable, which helped set realistic expectations. Bali traffic is truly a challenge—going just 7 miles can take up to 2 hours (and this is coming…”

Would recommend bringing a backpack, jumper and even wear leggings as it was freezing up the top! We were lucky our guide (Wankie) had brought us a blanket otherwise they do sell them for $5NZD at the top of the volcano.”
