I’ll be honest here, when I’m in Indonesia I tend to base myself in Bali and surf, taking the odd day trip here and there – so my experiences are limited to minibuses and shared taxis, except for a few trips further afield!

Airport – Kuta – £5

Kuta – Uluwatu/Padang/Uluwatu Temple – £5 (return)

Kuta- Ubud (inc Monkey Forest) – £ (day trip return)

Kuta – Ubud – £4 (one way, shared shuttle)

Ubud – Tulamben – £22.50 (private car)

Tulamben – Kuta – £25 (private car)

Kuta – Gili T – £25 return (mini bus & ferry combo)

Bali – Komodo (flight) – approx £35 (one way)

Also keep in mind that the airport departure tax is now 200,000IDR (roughly £10)

Depending on what you want to do in Bali the travel costs are going to be what set you back a good chuck of your budget. You can rent a moped pretty cheap here for shorter days trips for around £5 per day.

Over a month though an average kind of trip would be Airport – Kuta – Ubud – Gili T – Kuta – Uluwatu Temple – Kuta and a flight back from Komodo (if you’re doing a trip there)

Which would be an estimated transport cost of £89 including the airport departure tax.
