Bali is pretty safe for solo travellers. The whole country main income is tourism, they are setup to accomodate anyone and everyone. Itβs very cheap (atleast for Aussies with the conversion rate) I stayed in a Villa by myself and also decided to stay in a hostel (same price as being somewhere on my own!). The best way to get around is by motorbike. Use the apps Grab & GoJek
Posted: December 26, 2024Drivers: Generally a positive experience. On time, helpful, polite etc then we got a bad one. Asked us if we wanted to visit a wood carving site. Firmly said no and an hour later we pulled into a wood carving site. Made the mistake of telling this guy we would pay for 6 - 8 hours which meant he drove us through places we didn't want to go. In the end I told him we would pay for 8 hours even if we got back early. Within 10 minutes we were back at the hotel. I checked the villages he had driven through against a map, he was just wasting time. I think these guys should be licensed. Truely appalling: The harressment: Bali's main income is via tourism? well they should look after the tourists a little better. We spent a lot, we tipped well, we bought a lot of stuff that we wanted. We did not need to be constantly hassled or have people attempting to con us. Very quickly I learnt to ignore the hawkers. But it doesn't stop there, taxi drivers, wait staff, it doesn't matter where you go everyone tries it on in some way to try and make an extra dollar. Even an elderly gentleman at a temple gave us a traditional blessing, very nice, then lifts up a cloth on the table indicating a stack of cash. We gave some and he became agitated demanding more, we walked out. End result: If I visit again it will be to a resort and I will spend most time on the beach and away from Bali itself. But with the crap in the water I think there are many other places offering a good beach to relax on without the possible health risk and other associated drawbacks.
