Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Private transfers or chartered cars are recommended due to limited public transport. Renting a scooter or hiring a driver is the best way to explore the northern region.
The dry season (April to October) is ideal, offering sunny weather and calm seas perfect for dolphin watching tours. The rainy season sees fewer tourists and potentially lower rates, but sea conditions may be rougher.
