Getting there & away

Denpasar is the hub of road transport in Bali – you’ll find buses and minibuses bound for all corners of the island.

Bus

The usual route to Java is a bus from Denpasar’s Ubung Terminal to Surabaya (120, 000Rp, 10 hours), which includes the short ferry trip across the Bali Strait. Other buses go as far as Yogyakarta (180, 000Rp, 16 hours) and Jakarta (275, 000Rp, 24 hours), usually travelling overnight.

Book directly at offices in the Ubung terminal, 3km north of the city centre. To Surabaya or even Jakarta, you may get on a bus within an hour of arriving at Ubung, but at busy times you should buy your ticket at least one day ahead.

There are no tourist shuttle buses to/from Denpasar.
