Bali Island Information
Having someone waiting for you at the airport when you arrive in Bali is a service that can be provided by Seductive bali.
We recommend you hire a car and driver, which can be arranged for you at additional cost. Cars and drivers are usually available 24 hours a day but their actual time on duty on any given day is normally limited to 10 consecutive hours. Payment is calculated on a daily basis and an all-in-one price (including petrol). You may have to pay extra for the driver's food and lodging if you travel to places that you stay overnight.
Renting and driving your own vehicle is also possible including a variety of cars, jeeps, motorcycles, and bicycles. You will need an international driving license and this will be checked as the police run frequent license and registration stops for all cars and motorcycles in the popular areas of Kuta and Seminyak.
Taxis are also numerous and cheap. Other forms of public transport like buses are available and they are cheap. However, they are usually not air-conditioned and can take a long time to go a short distance.
Seductive Bali will gladly assist in organizing any form of transportation you desire.
Mail
Post Offices (called Kantor Pos ) can be found in every little village in Bali . It's not a terribly fast service but it is reliable, with international express mail from most places taking about 7 days to get to North America or Europe .
Telephone and Internet
Long distance phone calls and faxes are easy in Bali and all major hotels and luxury will provide an IDD service. WARTEL (warung telekomunikasi or telecommunications shops) are dotted all over the island and they offer reasonably priced international telephone and fax services.
Internet and email services are widely available with many of the main tourist areas offering Hot Spots and wireless access. Bali is definitely connected to the world wide web!
Electricity
Power supplies may be unstable and some remote areas do not have electricity at all. Adapters for other electric systems can be purchased locally. The plug style is southern European, two pronged and you may need a plug adaptor with two-pronged, parallel pins. Electricity generally runs at 220V – 240V AC. In some rural areas, the system still runs on 110V.
Transportation
Water
Provided by either a deep well or town water. Both sources of water are subject to sedimentary discoloration at varies times throughout the year, which is harmless for bathing and washing, but should not be drunk under any circumstances. Instead use the Aqua bottles provided in your place of stay for drinking and cooking.
