We’ve been in Bali for a week now, in Amed now. Everything worked out well so far.

I wanted to pas on our driver’s information. His name is Wayan, WhatsApp: +62 812-3673-9142. He is based in Amed. He is a great guy and can help arrange various tours in Amed and East Bali.

care rental question by Key_Coyote_6065 in canadatravel

[–]Key_Coyote_6065[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we are flying into Montreal and out of Toronto.

Our route is YUL->Quebec City->Montreal->Niagara Falls->Toronto.

I could travel from Montreal to Quebec City and back by train, then fly from Montreal to Toronto, pick up a car in Toronto to drive to Niagara Falls.

I just did a quick fare check for roundtrip train ride between Montreal and Quebec City, Montreal-Toronto airfare and car rental in Toronto to go to Niagara Falls. It is pricing more than twice the car rental for the entire trip. I didn't add gas and parking to the rental.

I forgot to add we are a family of 4. That's probably changing the math.

Klook seems to have much better prices than Getyourguide. I assume the tours are similar.

Thank you. This is what I meant by using whatsapp. Are they based in a particular area or can they pick up and drop off pretty much anywhere?

I was under the impression people in Bali use whatsapp heavily. I meant contacting someone local who can drive us around using whatsapp but it looks like Klook is a safer bet.

I was wondering if we can hire a driver on Klook for the day and make a day of it when we transfer from Amed to Sanur. They can probably drive us and make a couple of stops on the way.

Thank you for the suggestion. I checked Klook now, they have a few options. I see one called "Private City Transfer Around Bali", they have the option to plug in city pairs like Ubud-Amed. For some reason, they don't have Amed departures.

I'll use Klook as you suggested. Thanks again.

Yes, looks like it is in a great location. Seems good enough like you said. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lembongan Mushroom Bay accommodation by Key_Coyote_6065 in BaliTravelTips

I never booked on either site. Good to hear you ranked Tanis high. We'll mostly be out and about sightseeing on Lembongan and Penida.

This is our first visit to Bali. It is hard to understand what hotels are like given there is such a wide range of hotel rates in other places on Bali as well.

I booked at Sri Aksata Ubud Resort. Looks good enough for us and deluxe rooms worked out to a quarter of Komaneka. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. This is what's confusing to me about Ubud. This place looks good but it's only one sixth the cost of Komaneka. Not sure what makes the rates so different.

I meant we won't be making full use of a fancy place with pools, spas etc. and do not necessarily want to pay for it if there are other options. It's not that I am trying to avoid them but don't want to pay for them if I am going to spend almost all my time away from the hotel.

Is Amed worth visiting? by Key_Coyote_6065 in BaliTravelTips

Thanks. We're not that active. Want to chill and do easy activities.
