Plan key stops in advance
Agree on 2–4 priority sites (e.g., Tegalalang, a waterfall, a temple) before departure to maximize the 10-hour day.
Carry cash for small fees
Many village entrances, parking fees and donations are cash-only—bring small denominations of IDR.
Dress respectfully for temples
Bring a sarong or long skirt/sleeves; some temples require a sash or will rent one for a small fee.
Allow time for traffic
Central Bali roads can slow in mid-afternoon—build buffer time if you have flights or ferry connections.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated in humid tropical heat and reduces single-use plastic.
Sunhat and sunscreen
Protects against strong equatorial sun during terrace and village stops.
Comfortable walking shoes
Useful for slippery steps at waterfalls and uneven temple paths.
Light rain jacket or poncho
