よくある質問
Is Bali expensive in 2025?
Bali has increased in price since 2020 — accommodation in Seminyak and Canggu is pricier than before, and some tourist-area restaurants charge European prices. But local warungs, scooter travel, and inland areas (Ubud, Sidemen) remain excellent value.
Should I hire a private driver or rent a scooter in Bali?
Depends on where you're going. For day trips to temples, waterfalls, and mountain areas, a private driver ($40–60/day) is worth every cent — roads are challenging and parking is chaotic. For short local trips in flat areas, a scooter is great if you're comfortable riding one.
