Discover the Hidden Bali…

You already know Bali is going to be beautiful but are you still wondering how to plan your dream vacation?

Stop wasting your time on endless searches on Google and social media trying to plan your trip.

You've been researching for weeks... And you STILL don't know:


❌ Where to actually stay, where to visit, where to eat
❌ What's worth seeing, what's a waste of time
❌ How to avoid tourist traps

Hello friend, my name is Dewa.

For over 26 years, I've had the privilege of showing visitors the real Bali—not just the tourist version, but the island I love and call home. I've driven for celebrities, honeymooners, families, solo adventurers, and digital nomads. I've seen what makes trips magical and what makes them frustrating. And I've learned that the difference usually comes down to one thing: preparation.

That’s why I’ve created an e-book for you: “The Ultimate Travelers Guide to Bali.” It’s designed specifically to help visitors to Bali understand how to make the most of their vacation.

If we sat down for coffee a week before your trip, this guide book is the conversation I would have with you. It's practical and personal… written from the perspective of Dewa, someone who genuinely wants you to fall in love with Bali the way I have.

Here’s the reality of what I usually see from most visitors who come to Bali:


  • You arrive in paradise... and spend half your trip asking random people for recommendations, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you're missing out on something better.

  • You book a Villa with “epic rice field views" that turns out to be in the middle of nowhere or next to a construction site.

  • You waste an entire morning at the famous Tegenungan Waterfall standing in line for the same photo everyone else has, when there's a hidden waterfall 20 minutes away with almost nobody there.

  • You pay $150 for an "Instagram tour" that takes you to five overcrowded spots where you wait 2 hours just to get one decent photo.

  • You miss out on the most interesting restaurants, scenic vistas and epic adventuresBullet List 2

Bali rewards people who understand how the island really works. You’re about to learn the real insider secrets… the stuff most tourists never see.


The guide is a virtual travel planner that will help you decide what your top priorities are for having a great vacation in Bali.

It's the Ultimate Bali Travel Planner, designed to help my guests have a GREAT Bali vacation.

Instead of dumping 500 "top things to do" on you, the Bali Best Friend Guide will:

It's not an over-detailed, day-by-day itinerary. It's the smart filter you use before you start locking things in. It’s all the checklists to ensure everything goes smooth.

  • Show you which areas match your style (and which will frustrate you)

  • Flagsthe classic money, visa, and transport traps most visitors only learn about the hard way

  • Points you toward the nicest beach clubs, restaurants, and experiences for travelers who value quality over the absolute cheapest option

What You Get Inside the Ultimate Bali Travel Guide:

The Bali Basics You Actually Need 

A concise, no BS overview of the island's key zones and what each is really like:

  • Uluwatu & The Bukit – cliff views, serious surf, big‑deal beach clubs and restaurants

  • Canggu & Berawa – creative crowd, cafe culture, sunset bars, and co‑working spaces

  • Seminyak & Petitenget – polished, walkable pockets of good dining and bars by the beach

  • Ubud & The Hills – rice terraces, temples, wellness studios, monkey forest

  • Nusa Islands & East Bali – wild coastlines, snorkeling/diving, quieter hideaways

You'll quickly see which 2–3 areas make sense for you—and avoid booking into the wrong neighborhood just because someone's Instagram reel looked pretty. I tell you the real pros and cons of each area. I also provide a detailed map showing all areas and how they connect.

Here’s what else you’ll discover:

✅ The hidden waterfalls tourists never find

✅ Which beaches are worth visiting
✅ How to experience rice terraces without the crowds
✅ How to avoid every common scam, overpriced tour, and tourist trap

✅ Hidden gems most tourists never discover

That's exactly what this guide is.

✅ Video links to everything you’ll want to see

✅ Website links to the most popular restaurants and attractions

✅ Maps to understand where every area is (you can’t find the areas on your maps app, they just aren’t listed as Uluwatu, Ubud, etc.)

What this travel guide is NOT:

Testimonials

What an absolute pleasure it was having Dothey Bali (Dewa) as our driver/guide during our first trip to Bali, we couldn’t be more grateful that we were lead to him. From the moment we met him we felt how kind, thoughtful and professional Dewa was and knew we would end up friends. He made us feel completely at ease, always going above and to ensure we were comfortable, happy and felt special ~ he even arranged for a special birthday dinner that will never be forgotten! What truly stood out was his deep knowledge of the local culture, hidden gems, and beautiful places that we would have otherwise missed. He shared stories, answered all our questions, showed great patience with itinerary, and helped us understand Bali in a way that only a true local could. If you’re looking for more than just a driver—someone who genuinely cares, offers suggestions and ideas to make your experience amazing and is just an amazing human in general, Dewa is the one to hire. Will recommend over and over and over!!!

Dewa was an amazing driver , it was our first time visiting Bali and he helped us create some daily itineraries that suited our interests. It was so easy to enjoy beautiful Bali without having to worry about how to get there and just enjoying the air conditioned car ride with lots of tips and pleasant conversations. We will be back to Bali again soon and will definitely be calling on Dewa to help us get around as well as providing us with his pleasant and funny personality.

Ready to Travel Like You Know the Island?

You've got two paths from here:

Option 1 – Keep piecing things together from google searches, reels, random blog posts, and group chats. Keep wondering if you've chosen the right areas, the right beach clubs, the right way to move around. Hope it all lines up when you land.

Option 2 – Spend a short amount of time with a local-written guide that gives you clarity on where to base, how to avoid headaches, and where the truly good stuff lives—so every day feels intentional, not accidental.

Let me be your guide and your Bali Best Friend…

P.S.  If you're already spending real money on this trip, isn’t it worth it to spend a few more bucks to avoid hassles and land with the confidence that you chose the right parts of the island for how YOU like to travel?

Your vacation days are too precious to gamble with.

Your budget is too hard-earned to waste on tourist traps.

And this trip is too important to leave to chance.

For less than the cost of a single meal, you can have a complete planning system created by someone who actually lives here. 

P.P.S. Still not sure? Think about this: You're about to spend thousands on your vacation. Is $29 really a "major financial investment" in making sure your dollars are well-spent? Or is it the smartest $29 you'll spend on making your Bali Vacation memorable? Only you can decide…

Let Dewa become your Bali Best Friend. It’s how I support my family and make a difference for my guests I get to serve.

Life is not about the breaths we take but about the moments that take our breath away…
