Still finding best price for March or April 2008. Hope air asia will launch free ticket soon!

Hi Demitri,

I was at Bali from 24-27 Dec and I might be able to answer your queries

1) White water rafting - I booked my rafting adventure through my driver at 30USD or Rp 300k per person. Most rafting adventures are at Sungai Ayung and there are many routes depending on which company you choose. I booked mine through Sungai Ayung Rafting (IIRC). The more expensive companies are Sobek and Bali Adventure Tours.

2) The guy in the website you mentioned is Dean and we enjoyed a huge bulk of the trip despite the bad weather because of him. He drives you around for the whole day and takes you to outskirt places driving through small lanes and valleys. In addition, he has a great sense of humour making our day out a very enjoyable one. Oh, and he's a very good photographer too haha His price is abit more steep compared to other drivers at Rp 450k but I guess the service makes everything worthwhile (Btw, he helped arrange our white water rafting adventure and transportation to other places too)

Hi Cameltoe,

Thanks for the reply, so did you enjot the white water rafting?

About Dean, I'm still comtemplating to choose him or not, as per other's comment, to hire a drive, it will only cost Rp250K - 300K per day. Rp450K for Dean indeed is on the high side. Perhaps he has been made famous by the dedicated website I suppose.

Hey, will be going Bali on the 24th to 28th.
On the last day, we plan to have a free and easy day.

Is there any nearby places in walking distance near Kuta Lagoon Hotel?

Hey gaara,

Is there any cheap and nice food around Kuta in the night? If not we have to bring our own cup noodles. Haha.

Ask around the hotel staff for good food places, the people in Bali are very friendly.

Well, if other drivers are cheaper and as reliable then I'd say go for it. But with Dean, quality and good times are assured so its really up to your budget and personal preference.

Back from Bali~~
What a wonderful and memorable trip, I am started to miss Bali already..

Nice.
Can't wait for my trip.

What is recommended to buy there ya?

Bali is nice man, i went there for new year. ppl there are very friendly, and stuff are cheap hehe.

I did not buy much things.. Alot of fake Oakley glasses, Quiksilver and Billabong T.
For the souvenir part, you can get it anywhere la, prices will be cheap at Sukawati and Tegalalang..
Woodcraft is everywhere also, buy at Tegalalang will be cheaper. Just bargain gao gao!

How about the weather in Bali??

Me goin on 23rd to 27th... anyone on the same day?

I'm going on the 24th to 28th. XD

Hi,

Hi Spana,

Wanted to go but unfortunately they doesnt have free seat to Bali. Damn Air Asia. Every year they have this free seat to Bali and this year nil.
So instead, i book for Phuket!

actually, i planned for Bali trip as well. But, anywhere can get the cheap deal for flight and hotel? or perhaps package?

pls advise. and i'm newbie here.

hahaha...yeah. didn't notice that earlier. i'm going free n easy...book a hotel at Wina Holiday Villa for RM800 for 4 nights inclusive breakfast, tax & airport transfer.

planning to hire a supir for my trip there... thats why if there's any forumers going the same time we can share the transportation cost. (provided the itinerary same lah)
