We always use a driver and we use the same driver every time and he has become a family friend, his local knowledge is worth the money and some places he can even get us discount. We will often just ask him to take us somewhere to eat and somewhere different and he never disappoints, we even had lunch in a plane suspended in the air on stilts, our kids loved it. we pay $50 a day for him.
Any details on the driver or suggested company name would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been to Bali 5-6 times but that was 30 yrs ago. I’m going back in May 2025 and will be exploring alone for a week. Having a trusted driver would be great. Thanks.
Mate this video was great! solid advise. The family and I will be taking our first trip to Bali in 5 days, great job on the content and the curating the experience...
@@Caligirl-1111 Honestly It was amazing, Had a go at making a video for my daughter to show at school and I'm pretty chuffed for my first real attempt. My wife and I have been to Thailand alot, so I was concerned that I wouldn't give Bali a fair go. I was pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed it. Can't wait to take the family back.
Thanks for this. I'm American and when I see 'travelogues' about other countries, a lot of the time I'm turned off by them; too many potholes and ruts to trip into, too many wild dogs, too much noise, can't drink the water, don't really like their food, too many 'festivals'. Mexico would make the most sense for me but I just can't warm up to it. This looks ... nice. And the videos I've seen of the retirement apartments are beautiful.
Thanks Muzza, visiting Bali for the first time end of July and staying in Kuta you've just answered so many questions and the tour was amazing. I'm buzzin now. Ill keep my eye open for you fella. Much luv
I visited Bali I think about maybe 🤔 7 yrs ago, probably things changed, in total visited Bali 4 times, the first 2 times was in Nusa Dua , the transport was expensive, Kuta - twice. I paid for my accommodation $18 per night & second time the same hotel $20 it was clean, enjoyably, the staff was great , all walls & floor was tiled , air conditioning too, little tv , little cute swimming pool and in the centre and so many temple around with beautiful Bali style music 👍👍👍❤
I'm a "Bali Virgin" 🥳 who'da thought at my age. After watching I wondered if a Virgin like me could find a place to take scooter lessons in Bali. If so, I would love some advice or maybe reviews of local businesses ✌🏽
Hey. Looking to your movies is fun and I find some new things for me to go to. I'm living in Sanur, not far from your house. Just across the gang in front of Restaurant Pitaloka. Good work Murry 👍
Thanks Muzza. Heading over to Bali for the first time in end of September for a week with my daughter. Looking forward to trip. We are staying in Seminyak.
Gday Muzza we will be there in a few weeks 8 time to Bali my port of call will be to go see Monica & Frank about purchasing a property there as iv watched the video about Visas and property keep the get information coming cheers Grozza
For the longest part of this. Listening I’m like “where?? Where is he? Keeps sounding like Cooter” (yikes) lol 😂 KUTA. Gotcha. Ozzie accent just sounds wild with that
Kuta is somehow a place ill always have to vistit for a few days or so when coming over. I dont know why, but it was the first area i visited and it kinda feels like home. BUT, i hope people dont spend too much time there, its far from the best area to visit. Its great if you have been travelling around Indonesia and need a bit of western food and influx, maybe going to the cinema. But for Bali experience, pleace go outside that area at least for daytrips, preferably more. Sampai jumpa :D
Thanks Muzza great video. Heading over in July first timer stay at double six. Looking fwd to ur seafood night. Definitely going to send u a message a few weeks prior to coming over. 👍
Thank you so much Muzza, your videos are amazing☺we will be in Bali in October, is there any way you could do a video around Canguu, that's where we'll be staying. Thanks again for all the info you provide for us all while in Bali, take care and hope to see you and your family in October.🙂
We had our honeymoon in Nusa Dua in April 2002 and we are coming back again end April 2025 only this time with a 22yr old, 21 and 17 yr old. Looking at possibly a villa or nice hotel in around Seminyak area as I think Nusa Dua might be a bit too quiet at night time. Unless it's changed in 23 yrs. Would appreciate any recommendations of areas of a bit of everything. Great vlog❤
Hi, thanks for very informative comments. We are just leaving Bali after 13 days and I must say we are very disappointed with overall stay. Our accommodation was great, but as we stayed outside of gated resort, be ready for early wake up call by rooster 4:40-5:00am. Please also warn people about pedestrian pot holes and dog poo, even on main streets. Can you please make a video about the reality and show the rubbish on the beaches which are not in front of resorts - just general public beaches. Also whatever you do don’t go on the snorkeling trip to Nusa Penida, unless you want to see dead coral reef. Overall two stars out of 5.
There are so many Australians that still think that an Australian car license covers them for a scooter in Bali. It does not. The scooters in Bali are mainly 125cc motorcycles and not 50cc mopeds..
MUZZA: "So you're a first timer to Bali, A Bali virgin... I tell ya, sit back, relax.... " I thought he was going to say he'll ease into the video slowly and be gentle haha :)
Hi Murray, we are heading to Bali later this month, staying in Sanur at the new Seascape Resort. I’d like to do a day trip to Ubud, what do you recommend? Just get a taxi or a Grab or a Gojek for a day ? Haven’t been to Bali for a long time so I guess things will have changed a lot ! Thanks
Can you advise please how to find the $100/night stay if on the travel websites most places start at $150. Where to book those “cheap””hotel stays? Thanks in advance
We stay at Yulia Beach Inn in Kuta, $60 a night. Very clean and very quiet. It has a small pool and 1 block from the beach. We love it for the location as it is so central.
There is only one sewage treatment plant in Bali (near Sanur) so I doubt the "open sewer" issue has been solved. Rather covered by concrete tiles, pumped up by trucks and dumped into the rivers is my guess.
@@Steve-tn5cr oh soz I admit back then I was only 25 and ignorant - I just remember open “trenches” that had water of some sort in them on the side of the footpaths 😀
Is this close to the area legian? Im going to phuket 3rd july for 2 weeks and im going to go somewhere else for maybe 4 to 5 days and bali is an option is the nightlife busy?
When I've been in bali staying in hotels and resorts. I really struggle with the wifi for work, do you have any tips. On how to get good internet access so I can work why I'm there.

Who is your driver and how to contact? Will be there 13 June for 10days.
how do you find a driver?
Would love details of your driver.. can you send to me? Or post?

Hey Muzza, absolutely spot on mate.. very relevant for potential visitors.. And none other than you to do it in style.. Cheers
Gday Muzza we will be there in a few weeks 8 time to Bali my port of call will be to go see Monica & Frank about purchasing a property there as iv watched the video about Visas and property keep the get information coming cheers Grozza
You caht purchase a property, you can long term.lease only not own.
Jingo Muzza! First timer in Bali in about 82…. Every time I go it’s a different and new adventure
Really good video Muzza! Very enjoyable
1980 it was so good but I still love bali.❤
How are you Muzza, love your videos, will be over in Bali from the 9-30th of May if you would like to catch up for a beer
Great video
Very well spoken cheers mate

Right so if I go in a couple.of weeks I'll be watching out for dog poo and noisy roosters
Thank you, Muzza
Legend
I am visiting for the first time in November
Staying in Legian
Hope to meet you for a beer
In addition, look for the safe swimming flags. The beaches can get some pretty scary rips
No life guards in Bali
Yes be there on 25 May
i enjoyed ur video
Great vid Muzza
So awesome you are a 💎
My GPS thru my head phones guided me on my scooter brilliantly..
Does it rain a lot in April in bali.
There are so many Australians that still think that an Australian car license covers them for a scooter in Bali. It does not. The scooters in Bali are mainly 125cc motorcycles and not 50cc mopeds..
Have you got any videos on seminyak as coming over as a family x

✌️ brother
Thank you
Hi Murray,
I have an Australian full car driving licence, am I allowed to rent a scooter?
No, you need a motorbike licence.
Go Murray champion
How lomg have you lived in Indonesia mate?
Hey Muzza, where is everyone the streets are empty?
Yes I think I remember the open sewers haha
Yep, and my kids wouldn't stop playing in them when it rained😅

@@Tman-l4q pumped into the ocean.
What open sewers? There are none. The drains are for grey water. Ive lived in Indonesia 14 years

Yes in the heart of legian/Kuta
How to live in a tourist bubble
6 million Pubs 😮… WTF its gonna take me another 2 months getting around all of them, . Im gonna be SOoooo Pisssed hic 😊
When I've been in bali staying in hotels and resorts. I really struggle with the wifi for work, do you have any tips. On how to get good internet access so I can work why I'm there.
Yes.. go to KW Tours and for $20 you get a sim card for 39 days with around 30gb of download
100 dollars a night seems extremely expensive
And a 3 star motel in Port Macquarie NSW is around $130/ night...
Got all the good beaches right here in Ozz minus scammers and all the other drama one has to avoid in Bali.
Lot of Aussies though
@@Shadow1986 lots of aussies in Bali
Great advice I'd say never say it's your first time lol
are they honest or trying to scam you for every cent you got?
Not the $10/night lossman including breakfast that I remember.
Not a Bali virgin here. But all funny and True.
Wouldn’t go there if ya paid me
What’s a ta doo ? Oh ! Tattoo..I thought it’s was slang for something nefarious
Thank you for this
Bali lost its soul 40 years ago....dont bother.
Best advice just dont get off the plane and go somewhere decent
