Canggu is served by Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), about 20 km south. There is no train or metro to Canggu. For a first arrival, pre-booked hotel transfer, official airport taxi, or Grab/Gojek car is usually simplest; allow about 60-120 minutes to Batu Bolong/Echo Beach depending on traffic. Trans Metro Dewata bus K2 serves the airport to Terminal Ubung, but it does not go directly to Canggu, so it is usually only practical if you are comfortable transferring to a taxi or ride-hail.

Canggu has no metro and walking is limited by heat, traffic, and uneven or missing sidewalks. Most visitors use Grab/Gojek cars or motorbike taxis for short hops; Bluebird taxis and private drivers are useful for longer Bali trips. Trans Metro Dewata is the wider Denpasar-area bus system, but coverage is limited for Canggu beach neighborhoods; there is no must-buy tourist transit pass. If using buses, expect cashless payment such as QRIS/e-money where accepted. Scooter rental is common, but only ride with a valid permit, insurance, and helmet, and leave extra time for Jalan Raya Canggu and the Canggu-Berawa shortcut.
