Frequently asked questions
What does the Potato Bali Tours blog cover?
Bali travel questions that come up on the trips: which ATV track to book, what to wear, how to read the terrain, the best months to come, how the visa and tourist levy work, where to eat if you eat plant-based, what the temple rules are, and how to get around the island. It is written by the guides and drivers who run the activities, so the answers come from doing them rather than from a desk.
How often do you publish new articles?
Regularly, and usually in clusters — a set of posts answering one area of Bali at a time, so that each post links into the others. The events calendar is updated as the year goes on, because the festival dates move around and a guide written a year ahead goes out of date.
Do the blog posts include prices?
No. The blog deliberately publishes no prices at all — it tells you what is included, how long a thing takes, who it suits and what to ask, and the rates come separately on WhatsApp. It keeps the articles useful for anyone planning a trip rather than useful only for people who have already decided to book.
Can I ask a question that is not covered here?
Yes, and that is usually how the next post gets written. Message us on WhatsApp at +62 851-7516-3718 with your question and we will answer it properly — and if other people are clearly asking the same thing, we will turn the answer into a post.
