Jimbaran is located in the south of the Bucit Peninsula, south of the cute, with a fashionable expensive Raspanic Nusa Dua in the south-east and famous Ulwatat in the south-west. Like many tourists who have only a week - two vacation, you are most likely flying to Bali by plane From the capital. And arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (Ngurah Rai International Airport). It is a 15-minute drive from Jimbaran. By the way, 95% of foreign tourists arriving at Bali arrive at the airport. And the small part sail on the boat, for example. Each hour of Ngurah-Paradise, on average, takes 14 incoming and outgoing flights, and in general the airport can control up to 25 flights per hour. This is almost 2000 people per hour.
And these figures rapidly grow. The government about this airport is big plans, including, no one does not suit anyone that the takeoff strip is only three kilometers. It is necessary wider and longer! Get ready for queues at the airport - they are not there. Sometimes there will be a chasic to simultane. And then and a half.Of course, it all depends on the time of day and the intensity of the flights at this moment. But it is better to come with a margin in time (this is already about the return path, in fact). In general, if you are too lazy to stand in the queues, you can fork out the company's services that provide VIP passport and customs control services without queues. It is good worth about $ 20 per person. You are met with the sign before control and calmly spend. For example, here you can read more.
It is also planned to build a new airport in the northern part of the island, which would be very convenient. The airport is pretty modern, there is free good Wi-Fi (Ngurah Rai Free WiFi). The new terminal, of course, is very pleasant, clean, big. The old terminal does not even in comparison. However, a little annoying with his "snake" shops of Taks-Free, through which will have to go through passport control and access to Gaita. If you hurry, these outlets did not give up at all. And if it also starts the crush ... And at the exit from the airport there is exactly the same "snake" - the last chance to sell something to a poor tourist. By the way, the service of internal flights moved from the old terminal to the new one in this September, although, maybe not only internal. In general, you will fly exactly in a new terminal, where it is not stuffy, where there are a lot of chairs and everything is fine.
About tickets, airplanes, flight prices and flight time. Read here.
At the airport there is a storage (Locket Room) in the new terminal on the left side (Domestic Depart is there), costs 50,000 rupees per day. By arrival, you can immediately buy a Simpati SIM card (the office is on the right at the exit from the international terminal) and immediately start using cards and other things.
Another moment: with you for a visa it is better to have cash. The card is also possible, but most likely there will be a lot of people, and the ATMs may well do not work. And in general, they can say that the cards do not accept, and, they say, if you do not have money - these are only your problems. And it is very difficult to deal with them. There are no exchangers in the arrival hall too. So take with you the full amount of cash.
Now how to get from the airport to the hotel. First of all, self-respecting hotels send a shuttle tourist. If you fly on a packet tour, then you should not bother at all. If you independently found a hotel, then read the list of services provided by the hotel, and in the case of such a service, you must request it.
Next, you can order a taxi on the Internet in advance, for example, here: http: //kiwitaxi.ru/indonesia/denpaasar+ (NGURAH + RAI) + AirPort-% 3EJimbaran
There is no public transport from the airport. At the airport you will find the official taxi rack - from the Hall of Arrival you need to turn left, before Duty Free. Official taxi prices from the airport are. To lean to go on the link, I will write here. InterContinental Bali Resort 5 * (very popular among tourists) - 60,000 rupees. Before Four Seasons Resort Bali 5 *, no less popular, which is slightly south, 75,000 rupees. Before Ayana Resort and Spa Bali - 95,000 rupees, if your hotel is closer to the bunch - 115,000 rupees, and so on. It is not suiced, of course, but what can you do.
Those who wish to save a droplet, stand on the escalator to climb the second floor - there are a taxi to landing. There you can catch a taxi bluebird (one of the most respected companies on the island and in general in Indonesia) - you will go cheaper and in the counter.
And you can immediately rent a car and from the airport to shake happy. You can book here.
How to move around the city
By taxi
If you need to ride around the island all day, you can ring by phone +62 81 337 821 777, pay for a taxi of $ 45 (450,000 rupees) - and this for a whole day, and the driver will roll you in all attractions, beaches (and It will even help bargain when buying souvenirs), and also understands Russian. In general, it is better to give preference to the aforementioned Bluebird company. This company is generally forty. They always go to the meter, for the landing take 7,000 rupees (it seems). If you are scary to catch a taxi on the street, ask for a hotel to call you Bologda. Either call 0361 701111 by calling 0361. When landing, tell me just in case: "Meter" and make sure that the counter started ticking. The taxi driver is unlikely to be opposed, but if it starts to be offered, threatened to call the office.
The problem is that all taxis on Bali are masked by Blister, the most successful brand. I mean, they are all blue, but even the logos are very similar. But other taxis will not ride the meter, and this is dangerous. In general, make sure that on the logo from the top of the bird and there is an inscription on the windshield and rear glass of Blue Bird Group, large letters.
On a scooter or bike
Like everywhere on Bali, rent a scooter is very easy and in Jimbaran. It is inexpensive, not scary and very convenient. By the way, in many five-star (and in the fours, sometimes sometimes) hotels have bikes (and bicycles). Ask at the reception! The movement at Japane Uluwatu in Jimbaran can be density from time to time, but still even beginners will not be scary to ride a rented scooter. Especially by bike (renting about $ 5 per day).
