Uluwatu & Bukit
Guides by Bugo.
I'm Bugo, Made Suarsana from Pecatu, and this is my guide to planning a good day around Uluwatu and the Bukit Peninsula. Start with the practical questions: where to stay, how to get around and which places deserve your time. Then choose the beaches, food stops or cultural visits that fit your kind of trip. I work for BUGORIDE, so you will see our rides here, alongside honest reasons to choose another transport option. Use these guides as a starting point, check current conditions and leave room to change the plan. Santai — you do not have to see everything at once.
