It is important to be aware that this is quite a remote location. There are no buses or public transport services running here. It is likely to take several hours to drive to Munduk Moding from Denpasar. It is also important to be aware that some of the roads are very steep in this area (especially the roads connecting Munduk Moding and the north coast).
1 Get to Munduk by motorbike
The most fun, adventurous and intrepid way to get there is to rent a motorbike. You can rent motorbikes all around Bali. We recommend getting a more powerful bike, especially if you’re planning to share with someone. We recommend at least 125cc and go automatic if you have the choice. Make sure you wear a helmet on the roads in Bali and that you are fully qualified and insured to ride a bike in Bali. Many of the roads in this area are very steep and could be challenging for an inexperienced rider. You can rent bikes from hostels, hotels and guesthouses around Bali. Expect to pay around 100,000IDR – 200,000IDR per day (roughly £5 – £10 per day). You can normally negotiate cheaper deals if you are taking a longer rental period.
3 Travel to Munduk using a rental car
One of the most convenient ways to travel to the Munduk plantation resort is to use a car rental. This is also great value for money: You can find local car rental deals starting at around 200,000IDR – 400,000IDR per day (roughly £10 – £20 or $12 – $24). The best way to get a good deal is contact a local car rental dealer directly and negotiate for the best price.
3 Get to Munduk by taxi
If you are unable to ride a car or a bike you can also get to the Munduk plantation resort by taxi. The best way to arrange a taxi in Bali is to use the Grab taxi app. Be aware that if you are planning a long journey it may take a while for a driver to accept the journey on the app. Therefore you may wish to speak to taxi drivers waiting in town and arrange the trip with them. Use the grab taxi app to get a good idea of a fair price and make sure you agree on the price with a driver before you go. Expect to pay around 500,000IDR – 700,000IDR (roughly £30 – £40 or $35 – 50) for a taxi from Denpasar to the Munduk plantation.
