Currency & Tipping Guidelines

Currency:

Please contact your bank and let them know you will be traveling in Bali and may be using both debit and credit cards. If your bank doesn't know, they may block access to your card while you are here. On this note, there's no need to bring large quantities of cash. There are plenty of ATMs and we will make stops for you to take out money. We suggest that each traveler allocate $100-200 for the entire trip.  Most places only accept cash (Indonesian Rupiah).

Tipping:

While you won't have to worry about tipping throughout the trip at meals, etc., we do encourage tips for our guides & drivers. We recommend a range below, and this is per traveler. Feel free to allocate this and give it at the end of the trip; no need to tip them at the end of each day. 

Guide  - $5-7 USD per person, per day

Driver - $3-5 USD per person, per day

Discover Corps includes tips to hotels, and restaurants. However, if you arrive earlier, please check out our suggestions:

Hotel - $1 per luggage; 

Restaurant - $1 per person/ per meal

Local guide - $3-5 per person
