Good to know
- The boat won't wait – if you're late, you'll miss it. The voucher is only valid for the booked departure.
- At the port, head straight to the meeting point to avoid touts.
- Shared pickup may arrive early as it collects other passengers; areas outside the zone cost extra.
- The morning boat is usually calmer – it gets windier in the afternoon.

Tour FAQs
Who runs the tours?
Each tour is run by the local operator named on its page. You book through GetYourGuide – that's where you pay and get your confirmation, and the operator contacts you via GetYourGuide or WhatsApp. We pick the tours and explain clearly what to expect.
What language does the guide speak?
Mostly English, and some tours offer other languages – we list them on each tour page.
How do I pay, and in which currency?
Directly on GetYourGuide by card or another available method, in your preferred currency. Check GetYourGuide for the current price and availability.
Can I cancel?
Cancellation terms vary by listing and selected option. See the exact terms before paying on GetYourGuide, where you also manage your booking.
When will I get my pickup time?
Operators usually confirm the exact pickup time the day before by email or WhatsApp, so add a WhatsApp number and your hotel address when booking.
What if it rains?
Most tours run rain or shine. For boat trips and hikes the operator decides based on safety – if they cancel, you get a new date or a refund.
Why do you recommend tours you don't run yourselves?
We know Bali and select experiences for their itinerary, reviews and what they offer travellers. You pay the price shown by GetYourGuide when you book.
