Basics for Bali Virgins

Your first trip to Bali? lets help with some of the basics.
Today we start with the original "Party Town" of Kuta, also home to the tragic terrorist attack back in 2002. Beautiful beaches, shopping, plenty of entertainment and all at a fraction of the price you would expect.

We always use a driver and we use the same driver every time and he has become a family friend, his local knowledge is worth the money and some places he can even get us discount. We will often just ask him to take us somewhere to eat and somewhere different and he never disappoints, we even had lunch in a plane suspended in the air on stilts, our kids loved it. we pay $50 a day for him.

[@alohaalex808]

Who is your driver and how to contact? Will be there 13 June for 10days.

[@tanprisouple]

how do you find a driver?

[@michelletziarkas]

Would love details of your driver.. can you send to me? Or post?

[@ninaalgie]

[@keithsloan8922]

Great video. I’ve been visiting bali since 1975. Of course it’s changed but I still love it.

[@darrengosling3477]

Thanks Muzza, visiting Bali for the first time end of July and staying in Kuta you've just answered so many questions and the tour was amazing. I'm buzzin now. Ill keep my eye open for you fella. Much luv

[@paulnoonan1151]

That was a great one mate, keep up the good work, you are looking happy and well.

[@jefffinlay3477]

Cheers Muzza always a pleasure friend 👍

[@suetwyford1216]

Really good video Muzza! Very enjoyable

[@indrajitkalidasan7022]

Hey Muzza, absolutely spot on mate.. very relevant for potential visitors.. And none other than you to do it in style.. Cheers

[@lindamarietravel]

Thanks Muzza, very informative for visiting Bali! 🙂 I'll get back over there again soon.

[@manamedia]

Always a good source of info Muzza. Arohanui from back home x

[@NitroTMonkey]

How are you Muzza, love your videos, will be over in Bali from the 9-30th of May if you would like to catch up for a beer

[@grantsewell782]

1980 it was so good but I still love bali.❤

[@thomuso]

Kuta is somehow a place ill always have to vistit for a few days or so when coming over. I dont know why, but it was the first area i visited and it kinda feels like home. BUT, i hope people dont spend too much time there, its far from the best area to visit. Its great if you have been travelling around Indonesia and need a bit of western food and influx, maybe going to the cinema. But for Bali experience, pleace go outside that area at least for daytrips, preferably more. Sampai jumpa :D

[@eduardochavacano]

its just grey sands, but beautiful sunsets.

[@user-uq4yp6zv5h]

Great vid Muzza

[@michellemanton434]

Thanks Muzza great video. Heading over in July first timer stay at double six. Looking fwd to ur seafood night. Definitely going to send u a message a few weeks prior to coming over. 👍

[@road2BaliBliss2gether]

I'm a "Bali Virgin" 🥳 who'da thought at my age. After watching I wondered if a Virgin like me could find a place to take scooter lessons in Bali. If so, I would love some advice or maybe reviews of local businesses ✌🏽

[@grozzatoyotaprado6659]

Gday Muzza we will be there in a few weeks 8 time to Bali my port of call will be to go see Monica & Frank about purchasing a property there as iv watched the video about Visas and property keep the get information coming cheers Grozza

[@Steve-tn5cr]

You caht purchase a property, you can long term.lease only not own.

[@Jj_1024]

Thanks Muzza! Ill be coming over from Canada very soon>

[@judytyrrell791]

Yes be there on 25 May

[@user-ge7jd6qm1j]

Thank you

[@88jerryw88]

There are so many Australians that still think that an Australian car license covers them for a scooter in Bali. It does not. The scooters in Bali are mainly 125cc motorcycles and not 50cc mopeds..

[@glenbbqdavidson7131]

Thanks mate. one day, one day😅

[@Fuss65]

In addition, look for the safe swimming flags. The beaches can get some pretty scary rips

[@Steve-tn5cr]

No life guards in Bali

[@jamesspidicus4582]

MUZZA: "So you're a first timer to Bali, A Bali virgin... I tell ya, sit back, relax.... " I thought he was going to say he'll ease into the video slowly and be gentle haha :)

[@Ardz-ox4ve]

Thank you so much Muzza, your videos are amazing☺we will be in Bali in October, is there any way you could do a video around Canguu, that's where we'll be staying. Thanks again for all the info you provide for us all while in Bali, take care and hope to see you and your family in October.🙂

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Yes coming up soon

[@Ardz-ox4ve]

Thank you😄and we look forward to hopefully seeing you and your whanau during our stay in Bali.@@MurrayWilkinson1

[@lesTouchwood]

Hi, thanks for very informative comments. We are just leaving Bali after 13 days and I must say we are very disappointed with overall stay. Our accommodation was great, but as we stayed outside of gated resort, be ready for early wake up call by rooster 4:40-5:00am. Please also warn people about pedestrian pot holes and dog poo, even on main streets. Can you please make a video about the reality and show the rubbish on the beaches which are not in front of resorts - just general public beaches. Also whatever you do don’t go on the snorkeling trip to Nusa Penida, unless you want to see dead coral reef. Overall two stars out of 5.

[@joeylittle3535]

Right so if I go in a couple.of weeks I'll be watching out for dog poo and noisy roosters

[@joeylittle3535]

Is this close to the area legian? Im going to phuket 3rd july for 2 weeks and im going to go somewhere else for maybe 4 to 5 days and bali is an option is the nightlife busy?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Yes in the heart of legian/Kuta

[@lisacottrell2173]

Hi Murray, we are heading to Bali later this month, staying in Sanur at the new Seascape Resort. I’d like to do a day trip to Ubud, what do you recommend? Just get a taxi or a Grab or a Gojek for a day ? Haven’t been to Bali for a long time so I guess things will have changed a lot ! Thanks

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Contact www.mybaliactivity.com and ketutbwill arrange everything for a very reasonable price

[@PluckYeah]

My GPS thru my head phones guided me on my scooter brilliantly..

[@calliecrackalackin2293]

When I've been in bali staying in hotels and resorts. I really struggle with the wifi for work, do you have any tips. On how to get good internet access so I can work why I'm there.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Yes.. go to KW Tours and for $20 you get a sim card for 39 days with around 30gb of download

[@f1GP69]

Hey Muzza, where is everyone the streets are empty?

[@michaelfrost6594]

Thank you for this

[@lucybrowne-py5xz]

Yes I think I remember the open sewers haha

[@ausjen]

Yep, and my kids wouldn't stop playing in them when it rained😅

[@user-rk6ir8cq6p]

There is only one sewage treatment plant in Bali (near Sanur) so I doubt the "open sewer" issue has been solved. Rather covered by concrete tiles, pumped up by trucks and dumped into the rivers is my guess.

[@ian7033-qj9wg]

@@user-rk6ir8cq6p pumped into the ocean.

[@Steve-tn5cr]

What open sewers? There are none. The drains are for grey water. Ive lived in Indonesia 14 years

[@lucybrowne-py5xz]

@@Steve-tn5cr oh soz I admit back then I was only 25 and ignorant - I just remember open “trenches” that had water of some sort in them on the side of the footpaths 😀

[@Steve-tn5cr]

How lomg have you lived in Indonesia mate?

[@gumbie007gumbie007]

Great advice I'd say never say it's your first time lol

[@waynesitarz424]

Not the $10/night lossman including breakfast that I remember.

[@damienlambert78]

Not a Bali virgin here. But all funny and True.

[@KevinColt]

100 dollars a night seems extremely expensive

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

And a 3 star motel in Port Macquarie NSW is around $130/ night...

[@Chris-zu4es]

are they honest or trying to scam you for every cent you got?

[@spicyroads]

What’s a ta doo ? Oh ! Tattoo..I thought it’s was slang for something nefarious

[@trevorwilson2966]

Best advice just dont get off the plane and go somewhere decent

[@jumbo6009]

Bali lost its soul 40 years ago....dont bother.
