Questions

The FAQ

· · ·
Do I need a visa to enter Bali?
Australian passport holders receive a free Visa on Arrival (VoA) valid for 30 days, with the option to extend once for another 30 days. You pay the fee (~A$50) at the immigration desk at Ngurah Rai Airport. No pre-application needed - just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
What currency should I bring?
Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). As of mid-2025, $1 AUD ≈ 10,500 IDR. ATMs dispense Rupiah - withdraw at reputable bank ATMs (BCA, Mandiri, BNI) rather than standalone machines. Avoid airport exchange counters if possible. Most beach clubs and restaurants accept cards, but smaller warungs and local shops are cash only.
Is the water safe to drink?
No - drink bottled water only. This includes avoiding ice at smaller local spots (beach clubs and hotels are fine). Brush your teeth with bottled water to be safe. Bali belly is real and will ruin your trip - pack electrolyte sachets and keep Imodium handy just in case.
What's the dress code at Savaya?
Smart casual. Think linen shirts, nice shorts or trousers, summer dresses. No singlets, board shorts, or thongs (flip flops). Savaya is a premium venue and they do enforce this at the door - especially for a VIP booth booking. Ladies can be more flexible but keep it elegant.
Is the Mt. Batur hike hard?
It's moderate - steep in parts but manageable for anyone with reasonable fitness. The hike takes around 2 hours up, 1.5 hours down. You'll be hiking in the dark with a headtorch for the first part. The cold at the summit surprises most people - bring a warm layer. The sunrise views are absolutely worth it.
What if I get seasick on the yacht?
Take seasickness medication (Kwells or Travacalm) the night before AND the morning of the yacht day. The crossing to Nusa Penida can be choppy depending on conditions. Stay on deck, look at the horizon, and avoid going below. Most people are fine once we reach calmer waters.
What's the WiFi like at the resort?
Mu Bungalows has WiFi, though speeds can vary. For reliable connectivity, grab a local SIM at the airport (Telkomsel or XL are best) - you can get 30GB of data for around A$15. This is the move for navigation, Grab/Gojek, and staying in touch without burning through international roaming.
What if I miss the group transfer or get lost?
Don't panic. Download Grab and Gojek before you leave Australia - they work from the moment you land. Both apps accept credit cards so you don't even need local cash. Add the trip organiser's number to your contacts and message the group WhatsApp chat.
Will there be a surprise engagement for Nikita and Jase?!
