Bali Compass

36 small, opinionated tools for traveling in Bali.

Built for people who actually go, not for SEO scrapers. No fake calculators. No upsells. Just answers to the questions you only realise you have once you're standing in Canggu traffic with no helmet.

Surf season meets your skill level

Pick a break that matches the swell window and your ability. Uluwatu in shoulder season isn't always the dream — sometimes Kuta Beach is.

Nyepi- and Galungan-aware planning

The Balinese Saka calendar quietly shuts the island down. Plan around it before you book flights.

Scooter math that isn't a brochure

License type, helmet law, common police spots, real rental rates by region — all in one place.

All tools, by category

What makes Bali Compass different

Specific, not generic

Every tool bakes in Bali-specific facts: SIM C licence, PB1 restaurant tax, oxybenzone bans, mola-mola thermocline, Saka calendar holidays, police shake-down hotspots. Most generic travel widgets would still say "tip 15-20%" — wrong here.

Region-aware

Ubud, Canggu, Uluwatu, Sanur, Amed, Lovina, Nusa Penida all behave differently. We don't pretend "Bali" is one place.

Calendar-aware

Bali runs on the Saka calendar. Nyepi, Galungan, Kuningan, and Saraswati move every year. Most calculators ignore that.

Honest limits

Every tool states what it doesn't know. No "AI-powered" mystery boxes. No upsells. No copy-paste guide text.
