Fast boats and ferries
Bali to Nusa Penida, Gili and Lombok. Choose established operators, check life jackets and avoid overcrowded boats or bad weather crossings.
כסף ומזומן
מטבע: IDR · Indonesian rupiah
Cash is still widely needed, especially for warungs, markets, drivers and small shops; cards work in hotels, malls and tourist restaurants (sometimes with a 2-3% surcharge). Use ATMs attached to bank branches or malls. Exchange money only at licensed changers showing the Bank Indonesia logo and QR code, never at tiny back-street booths. International visitors to Bali pay a tourist levy of Rp 150,000 (online via Love Bali or at the airport).
טיפים ותשר
Tipping is not traditional in Indonesia but is common in tourist areas, especially Bali. Many restaurants and hotels add a service charge (usually 5-10%) plus regional restaurant tax (about 10%), shown as '++'. Small tips are appreciated for good service, drivers, guides and spa staff.
| מסעדות | Warungs: no tip, or leave small change. Tourist restaurants without a service charge: 5-10%. With service charge: optional extra. |
|---|---|
| בתי קפה וברים | Not expected; small change is fine. |
| מוניות ואפליקציות הסעה | Round up the fare. Not expected with Gojek or Grab, but tipping in the app is common for good service. |
| מלונות | About Rp 10,000-20,000 per bag for porters; housekeeping tips optional. |
| סיורים ומדריכים | For a full-day driver or guide, around Rp 50,000-100,000 is common (varies). Dive and boat crews often have a shared tip box. |
| משלוחי אוכל | Small tip (a few thousand rupiah) or in the app. |
דמי שירות: מה נכון
Restaurants and hotels in Bali and big cities often add a service charge of 5-10% and the regional restaurant or hotel tax of about 10%, adding 15-21% to menu prices ('++'). Both should be stated on the menu and appear as separate lines on the bill. The service charge is set by the business, not by law; sources say it is meant to be shared with staff, but practice varies.
טקטיקות לחץ שכדאי להכיר
Direct pressure is uncommon in restaurants. Spa and massage staff, tour guides and some drivers may ask for a tip or say it is customary; it remains optional. Ride app drivers may ask for extra cash beyond the app fare, which you can decline.
משפטים שימושיים
- Minta bon, ya. The bill, please.
- Sudah termasuk service? Is the service charge included?
- Ambil saja kembaliannya. Keep the change.
נימוסים והליכות
- Wear a sarong and sash at Balinese temples (often lent or rented at the entrance); cover shoulders and knees at all religious sites.
- Traditional rules ask women who are menstruating not to enter Balinese temples; respect posted signs.
- Do not step on or move the small offerings (canang sari) placed on pavements and in doorways.
- Use your right hand to give, receive and eat; do not touch people's heads.
- Remove shoes when entering homes and mosques.
- Respect Nyepi (Balinese Day of Silence, usually March): no going out, lights or noise for 24 hours, and the airport closes.
- Bargaining is normal at markets and with souvenir sellers; smile and stay friendly.
עוקצים ואיך להתמודד איתם
Money changer sleight of hand
איפה: Small exchange booths in Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud
איך זה עובד: Very good advertised rates; the cashier counts the money, then palms or folds away notes, leaving you short.

Fake Gojek/Grab drivers
איפה: Bali airport, tourist streets

איך להימנע: Book Bluebird in the app or check the logo carefully; agree any fixed fare before getting in.
Local transport 'no app' zones
איפה: Parts of Canggu, Uluwatu, Jimbaran and Ubud
איך זה עובד: Local driver cooperatives block app pickups and charge high fixed fares.

איפה: Bali tourist areas
איך זה עובד: Prices change after the service, or extras are added.

ATM and card fraud
איפה: Standalone ATMs and some shops

בטיחות
- Bag snatching (often from motorbikes) and pickpocketing are common in busy tourist areas; carry bags away from the road.

- Indonesia sits on an active seismic zone; know tsunami evacuation routes near beaches.
עד כמה מדברים אנגלית
Good in Bali's tourist areas, upscale hotels and with tour operators; limited elsewhere, including much of Java and the outer islands. A few Indonesian words go a long way.
