1. to negociate before you do the tour and pay him after the tour finish. And make sure you will see what you could, and may a good driver will give you more info about places you are going to see.
2.BAlihai is older than Bounty and balihai belongs to australian company and the services are good. The bounty belongs to balinese and it is only operated about the last 4 years, the boat bigger than balihai, and they are going to lembongan island. BAsicly, they are doing similar things, my friend told me that bounty offer more activities than bali hai with reef-cruise. Ask beni at benihaan@yahoo.com he may give you balihai reef-cruise for us$66 and bounty for us$60.
3.English is spoken by the tourism industry, not the local in the country side.
4. Friend told me that this year is unique, not a lot of rain in january, could be similar in feb.
5. The orphanage is more than welcome if you are coming, even you haven't called yet. It is better to come without calling so it will be surprise for them. Why don't you go to Panti Asuhan Salam in tabanan, beni will take you there, he knows the place.
6. Ice is okay in bali.
7. YOu will meet a lot of tourists from anywhere
8. Enjoy your holidays, hope this may help you.
