Easy transfers to and in Canggu
- Pavements are often missing and lanes are shared with fast scooters. Use a car with a driver for anything beyond a short, daylight walk.
- Carry a sarong or scarf for the shore temples, and wear shoes that slip off easily.
- Take travel insurance that covers medical evacuation. Ask your hotel for the nearest international-standard clinic, and carry a list of regular medicines in their original packaging.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
