When travelling to Bali, it is wise to be aware of any current situations, warnings, events, weather incidents and other Bali tourist information that may have an impact on your travels. Although Bali is generally a very peaceful, safe and often a family friendly destination in most areas, there may be occurrences whereby your travel plans need to change, or where you simply need to be aware of current circumstances. You can keep on top of the latest developments by checking your local government travel website in most cases.
In addition to unexpected events and happening, there are just some basic common sense things to keep in mind when you travel to Bali, as well as to anywhere else in the world. Some of these Bali tourist information details will be briefly outlined in this article, and are aspects to keep in mind both before and during your travels, in order to ensure that you have an enjoyable and a safe adventure in Bali that will stay in your memories forever.
Swimming
Most people spend a lot of time swimming in Bali, so keeping in mind that red flags mean danger is important. It generally means there is a rip current nearby and people should stay out of the water.
Scams
As with almost anywhere in the world, there will always be a minority of undesirable people in Bali (amongst the majority of wonderful and friendly locals) who look at tourists as easy ways of getting money unethically. If you are offered suspicious deals on the street, simply ignore them and move on. Additionally, keep your bags close to you when travelling, particularly at transport terminals as some porters may simply grab your bags then demand a fee for services. It is best to organise such services in advance with a professional company wherever possible.
Roads
Perhaps the greatest risk any traveller takes anywhere in the world is travelling on the roads. Travelling with professional drivers and in vehicles that you feel comfortable with are the best ways to ensure that your road travels are safe.
Currency Exchange
It is best to exchange your money at home before travelling, rather than doing it in Bali as you are unlikely to get the best, or very accurate, exchange rates in the small, local currency exchange outlets.
Although negative occurrences are rare in Bali and most people have a wonderful vacation with no incidents, simply get sufficient Bali tourist information, keeping all possibilities in mind and being mindful of your actions, whereabouts and belongings at all times will ensure that your holiday is the best and most positive that it can possibly be.
