It depends on whether you are willing to pay or not. Bali can be extremely cheap or costly traveling spot. The expenditure in Indonesia is a little bit more expensive than other Southeast Asian country. However, Bali is still varied as regards of expenses for accommodation, houses, food, transportation, activities.
If the expense will just run around $25 per day, there is nothing to discuss. For $35 to $45 per day, there are actually so much more things to do. That includes staying in hostels, eat local dishes at restaurants, using public transportation.

accommodation in Bali
For more luxurious experience, tourists might want to choose a guesthouse/ small village or hotel instead of a hostel. There are western dishes in some decent restaurant in Bali, after the meals, head to the local pub to enjoy some drink such as beer, cocktail… If you want to use private driver like taxis or grab car, this luxurious experience can cost from 80-100 USD per day.
Some activities such as water sports should always be around 100,000 – 300,000 Indo Rup, exploring temple or caves is usually 100,000 to 130,000 Indo Rup, that goes the same with yoga classes.

Cruising, is the second most popular option since travelers can either move between place to place in Indonesia too. Almost everyone comes to Bali for the 2 main islands for its reputation. The last one is through buses, which can take up to 23 hours to drive from Java to Bali.
THINGS NEED TO KNOW WHEN TRAVELING TO BALI
This should be easy to direct in Bali. There is a major drawback that Bali does not have any public transportation, so the 2 options for your travelers is to catch taxi/ grab driver or hire a scooter or a motorbike.
As I said, indicating the direction in Bali is pretty straight forward, it won’t take 2 or more hours to reach another place. I would not recommend to travel so far from the island since Bali has enough landscapes/ popular traveling spots for you to discover.
The cheapest option is to catch a grab, uber or go-jek, which is Indonesian taxi. The cost of the trip will always display to be seen. There is an unbreakable rule when traveling in Southeast Asian countries, always remember to negotiate for informal things. Bargaining skills is essential on streets. Normal taxis are slightly more expensive than grab/ uber yet you can entrust their services. Hiring a motorbike/ scooter is also available in case you want to experience things by your own.

When traveling around Bali, hiring a scooter can cost around 50,000 to 60,000 Indo Rup per day. Driving in major streets in Bali can be difficult since the traffic is always fluctuated during rush hours.
WHAT TO BRING

Bring along/ wearing reef safe sunscreen. It helps the water clean and safe for coral bay when you swim or dive.

Charge: The hotel/ guest house will not have any phone charges for you so don’t forget that.

Bottle of water for refilling: This is essential for natural, especially in Bali since local people are not really concerning about it. Just imagine walking on a beach full of trash, plastic bottle, it would be doomed to have a nice day at a dirt beach. Clean water is free at any restaurant/ hotel.
