Things to Do in Canggu Bali, Denpasar, Indonesia (B)

Canggu is a hipster area located on the West coast of Bali, North of Seminyak, which is typically known for it’s surf community. Pretty much everywhere you look you’ll see people with boards attached to their scooter heading towards the beach for a surf.

It’s a popular place to surf, especially if you don’t have the opportunity back home, but to be honest, we were disappointed with the state of the beaches in Canggu. There is so much rubbish on the shores and if you come here you’ll find yourself swimming with beer cans and plastic forks. For this reason we decided to hold off on learning to surf until we get back to Australia…

First of all you’re going to need a scooter to get around Canggu, it’s the way of life here and much easier to get from A to B than by car – and much cheaper too!

You can hire a scooter for IDR50k (about $5AUD) per day or IDR700k ($70AUD) for a whole month, and fill up the tank for just IDR10k-20k ($1-$2AUD). I found the Scoopy model easier to drive whereas Will preferred the Vario as it was smoother on the road, but any model will do the job. ......
