Getting around from the pier
On foot
From Bali Cruise Terminal the central streets are a 10–20 minute walk. Port areas are busy and well policed; the usual care with bags in crowded markets is enough. Note your ship's all-aboard time — it is local port time, not ship time.
Free
Taxi
Insist on the meter or agree the fare before you set off; ride-hailing apps are usually cheaper and avoid haggling.
Pay in IDR — Around 10% in restaurants is normal, and small tips for guides, drivers and boat crews are appreciated.
Port shuttle
A port shuttle or tender usually connects the berth with the terminal gate; from there it is a short walk or taxi to the centre.
Free or a few IDR return
Money & language
Local currency is IDR. Cards are accepted in restaurants and larger shops. Carry small notes for market stalls, taxis and craft studios; the nearest ATMs are usually at the terminal gate or on the first shopping street. The main language is Indonesian, and basic English is usually understood in tourist areas. Free Wi-Fi is common in terminal buildings and cafes; an eSIM data plan is the cheapest way to stay online ashore (country dialling code +62).
