Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into and out of Denpasar International Airport (DPS).\n"},{"question":"What time do I need to arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Before 3 pm ideally. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 5 pm onwards starting at the hotel, which is located approximately 30 minutes away from the airport.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"Check-out time is 11 am but you can leave anytime that suits you. The airport is approximately 30 minutes away from the hotel, and your Pack Leader can help you book your transfers the night before if needed.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer will be included. If you book alternative pre-tour accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport you must arrange your own arrival transfer.\nArrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and will be in groups depending on flight times. Sometimes this means waiting in the airport for a short while until other flights have arrived.\nWe don\u2019t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. We will offer you support with finding a local taxi, which will cost around 150- 200,000 IDR \/10-13 USD.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?","answer":"Most nationalities will need a visa to enter Bali including the EU, UK, USA, Australia and Canada for up to 30 days.\u00a0You can apply for an e-visa on the Bali government website: https:\/\/visa-online.imigrasi.go.id. \nPlease check with your local consulate\/embassy if the country you are travelling from requires a visa.\u00a0\nYou can also purchase a visa on arrival but we advise you to get it in advance to avoid long queues at the airport.\u00a0\nWe recommend that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport and can show a return ticket. \n"},{"question":"What are the Covid-19 requirements for visiting Bali?","answer":"You can enter Indonesia if you are fully vaccinated (two doses) for Covid-19. If you wish to extend your stay (the Visa on Arrival only allows a 30-day visit) after this trip end and wish to travel domestically to any part of Indonesia, you are also required to have a third dose (booster) of the Covid vaccine.\nDue to the changeable nature of Covid-19 entry requirements, we strongly advise Flashpackers to consult the travel advice issued by your local consular services well in advance of your departure date. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.\n"},{"question":"What other vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"The below is our general advice for travelers to Bali, however, please check with your local health clinic or doctors six to eight weeks before your trip as they will be able to recommend vaccinations based on your personal medical history.\nAll travelers: Routine Vaccinations \/ Injections: MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella), DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio)\nMost travelers: Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Rabies\nSome travelers: Hepatitis B, Cholera and Japanese Encephalitis There is a low risk of Malaria in the areas of Bali you travel to, however, we would advise you to bring anti-malarial tablets.\nTravelers arriving from countries with a risk of Yellow Fever may need an International Certificate of Vaccination also (ICVP).\n"},{"question":"How do we get to Gili Trawangan ?","answer":"We take a speedboat over to Gili Trawangan. The crossing can experience some rough seas, so if you suffer from seasickness please be aware and prepare. Sometimes, due to extreme weather, all speedboats are canceled, and in this situation, it may be decided to reroute the trip to overnight in Amed on the way there. If this occurs on the way back, there are two options:\n1. Spend another night on the Gili Islands\n2. Go on a shorter boat transfer over to Lombok and get a flight back to Bali instead. Your Pack Leader will discuss the best options with your group if this does occur.\n"},{"question":"How much should I budget per day for extras?","answer":"Approximately 300,000 \u2013 400,000 IDR, the equivalent of 20-25 USD per day.\nWe include Pack Leader and driver tips but you may wish to tip the hotel and restaurant staff.\n"},{"question":"What fitness levels do I need for this trip?","answer":"We recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness. The most challenging activity on this trip is the Mount Batur climb, which is about a three- to four-hour walk up a steep hill in the dark (which is why we recommend bringing a head torch!). Hiking shoes are recommended to navigate the loose rock and sandy terrain. Overall, the trip is relatively relaxed.\n"},{"question":"Do I need to be a confident cyclist? ","answer":"On Day 9, there is a 10-minute bike ride between the hotel and the snorkeling jetty \u2013 a journey of around 2.3 kilometers. If you\u2019re not confident cycling alone, let your Pack Leader know and they will arrange for you to ride in tandem.\n"},{"question":"Is the water safe to drink? ","answer":"We don\u2019t advise drinking tap water in Bali, however most hotels have a water fountain or cooler where you can re-fill your water bottle.\nWe also suggest avoiding swimming pools if you have open wounds that could become infected.\n"},{"question":"Will the itinerary change? ","answer":"Please be aware that the itinerary, activities, and hotels are subject to change. These changes are rare but can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control \u2013 but we\u2019ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience.
