We are a family of five. This year went for 31 days, had seven nights accomodation paid for. We went to Nusa Lembongan for 2weeks, travelled around in a car for one week. Took $4,000, averaged $85 per day when on Lembongan, all food, bintangs etc and snorkelling, bike riding etc. Bought 120 DVD's, heaps of jewellery, handicrafts. Paid for 8 days car hire and petrol and brought back $350. And we paid for Duty free perfume and grog both on arrival and departure.
When we are bartering for our accomodation we try for around the 100,000rp to 150,000rp price. If your accomodation is pre paid you will do fine on a $100 per day. Our trip this year averaged out at $117 per day.
