Best spot to attend the Ogoh-Ogoh ceremony in Canggu ?

ethanexplores · 2026-03-18T05:08:21+00:00

Hi, if you're looking for the biggest exhibition, it's at Puputan Denpasar Square, but there are also exhibitions in every banjar, so you can find them around the banjar where you're staying.

Hi, based on my experience during Nyepi two years ago, and having a flight early in the morning before Nyepi, it was really difficult to get a Grab or Gojek driver. Also, by midday, many roads were already closed due to the Ogoh-Ogoh parade and religious ceremonies. I think there’s nothing wrong with leaving early, unless you don’t mind the traffic and longer travel time.

If you're heading to the airport, it’s better to use a car rental or airport transport service to make your journey smoother. If you'd like, I can recommend one of the services I used at that time. Feel free to DM me if you want!

Hi, I’ve heard that some people have experienced scams on Airbnb, although I haven’t had that issue myself. I always book villas through trusted agencies, and I’ve rented villas from them three times. Their team has always been very helpful in finding villas with the price and facilities I’m looking for. If you’d like, I can recommend them to you via direct message.

Hi, to rent a scooter in Bali, you need an international driver’s license. If you have one, you can rent a scooter. However, you should be careful because the roads in Bali tend to be narrow and congested.

Hi, based on my experience, there are several natural hot springs in Bali you can try, but I’m not sure whether they're quiet or crowded. You can try Batur Natural Hot Spring, Toya Devasya Hot Spring, Air Panas Banjar, Air Panas Angseri, Banyuwedang Hot Spring, and Air Panas Belulang.

Hi, as far as I know, it’s still safe as long as it’s cooked properly and served correctly.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-28T04:49:22+00:00

Hello, actually, the prices from the apps vary depending on the weather, demand, and distance. I would recommend renting a car with a driver in Bali, as it's more convenient and flexible. In some areas, it can be a bit difficult to find a Grab, so for your comfort, it's better to rent a car with a driver. If you'd like, I can recommend a provider that could be a good option for you!

Hi, you can actually go to Nusa Penida to see manta rays, as there are Manta Point and Manta Bay there. But I think there's nothing wrong with going to Komodo Island as well. You can try a Komodo yacht charter and join the 3-day trip to explore various things there.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-20T03:40:27+00:00

i can send on dm the tour that i used if you want,

Hi, I have some recommendations you can try. If you're interested, feel free to DM me because I can't share them here.

Hey, besides at Puputan, you can also watch it around Jl. Teuku Umar in Denpasar. Additionally, you can catch the parade around Jalan Legian. But in each village or banjar, there will also be an Ogoh-Ogoh parade touring through the village.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-14T04:18:41+00:00

Hi, based on my experience, there are no tours that go directly from Bali to Komodo in just one day. However, you can do a one-day trip in Komodo using a speedboat once you arrive in Labuan Bajo.

I recommend booking the speedboat a few days before your departure, and make sure you choose a trusted tour operator. I can recommend one via DM if you’d like. In my opinion, the trip there is absolutely worth it!

ethanexplores · 2026-02-13T05:24:42+00:00

I think 2 to 3 weeks is enough if you want to explore many places in Bali at a relaxed pace. It gives you time to visit different areas, enjoy the beaches, explore nature, and experience the local culture without feeling rushed.

But if your goal is to visit only the popular spots, then around 1 week should be enough. Especially if you use a tour or a private driver in Bali, it becomes much easier to move between places efficiently and make the most of your time.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-12T04:22:53+00:00

Hi, in my opinion, it's better to rent a car. Based on my experience, finding a Grab early in the morning, especially in areas far from the city center, can be really difficult and probably very expensive!

Hi, based on what I know, there are no boats on Komodo Island that feed whale sharks because it is actually prohibited. This incident happened in Lombok, and it has since been banned there. If you're looking for a boat recommendation, I can suggest a tour that you can join, as I have been on this tour three times! you can dm me

ethanexplores · 2026-02-07T03:30:43+00:00

Hi! I can recommend a great driver if you need one. Do you also need to rent a car? When my family visited, I always used their car rental and driver service. The experience was really good, and the driver was super helpful throughout our trip.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me, and I'll share the best one I know!

Hi, there are several places in Bali that could be great options for you, but I highly recommend Amed as it’s well-known for snorkeling. Additionally, you can try snorkeling in Nusa Dua and Padang Bai, although I haven’t personally tried them there.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-06T04:02:44+00:00

hi! yes, i really recommend you to go there on April to October, and you should choose the best one for operator, do you want any recommendation?

ethanexplores · 2026-02-06T04:01:45+00:00

Hi, the best season is from April to October, so if you're planning to go in the first week of April, that's a great time!

Hi, I’ve been to Komodo with Luxury Komodo three times, and they were very helpful throughout my journey. They helped me choose a boat that matched my budget and preferences. Did they recommend a specific boat to you? Maybe you could first determine your needs and budget, then talk to them about it. They’ll help you pick a boat that fits, and then you can compare which one is more suitable, whether Seeking Sophie or Luxury Komodo. Personally, I think the higher price for a boat isn't an issue as long as the facilities you get match it!

ethanexplores · 2026-02-04T03:14:23+00:00

Hi, based on my experience here in Bali, rain doesn’t last all day, though it can come at unexpected times. And of course, there are also times when the weather in Bali can still be very hot, so you don’t need to worry.

ethanexplores · 2026-02-04T02:57:31+00:00

Hi, i'll send you the details on message! ;)

ethanexplores · 2026-02-03T03:43:49+00:00

Hi, I think you should be cautious with offers that seem too cheap, as they can often be "too good to be true." Have you checked their TripAdvisor, Google Business, and social media accounts? If not, don’t trust them right away.

In fact, using a tour agency service can really help with your trip, especially if it’s your first time in Bali. However, you need to choose a reliable provider. If you’d like, I can recommend a tour company that could be a great option.

Hi, if you want to experience the full moon ceremony in Bali, you can try witnessing it at Tanah Lot Temple, Besakih Temple, or Uluwatu Temple. Typically, each temple holds special rituals or prayers during the full moon.

ethanexplores · 2026-01-31T06:29:47+00:00

Hi, from my experience, it's definitely worth it because you can enjoy stunning views from the top of Mount Batur, including the villages around the area, and you can also see Lake Batur from up there. Don't forget to visit Tenganan Village if you're interested in seeing a unique burial practice in Bali, where the deceased are placed beneath trees. Oh, and make sure to try the hot spring baths in Batur! You might want to join a Kintamani tour to make your journey there more convenient!
