Enjoying Bali Nightlife Safely

While Bali nightlife is undeniably thrilling, it’s important to prioritise safety and well-being. This is important no matter where you are, especially in a foreign country unfamiliar with the local area. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience:

Travel in groups. Exploring Bali’s nightlife with friends or travel companions is always more fun. Stick together and look out for each other.

Plan your transportation. Before heading out, arrange reliable transportation to and from your destination. Utilise registered taxis or reputable ride-sharing services. In Bali, it’s very easy to download apps like Gojek or Grab, and rides are usually less than $2-$3. If you are going to bar hop, booking a private driver for the night might be worth it.

Be aware of your surroundings. Stay alert and be cautious of your belongings. Avoid dark and unfamiliar alleys, and trust your instincts at all times.

Drink responsibly. Bali’s nightlife offers an array of tempting libations, but remember to drink in moderation and know your limits. Stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended.

Do not drink and drive. As mentioned above, organising rides around at night is easy. Accidents on motorbikes are too common, unfortunately. We encourage everyone to organise transportation and not drive after drinking alcohol.
