Getting Around Singaraja
Get the shuttle to Ubung terminal in Denpasar first, then catch a local bemo or bus to Singaraja (around IDR 60,000). From Singaraja terminal, take ojek (motorcycle taxi) to Puspa Rama for IDR 15,000.
Works well for short trips around Singaraja town, but less reliable for longer intercity journeys. Meet the driver at a clear landmark (e.g. the big Singaraja statue) as addresses can be vague.
Booking a prepaid taxi at the airport counter avoids haggling. For local trips around Singaraja, use the meter-less blue taxis — agree the fare before getting in.
Comfortable, air-conditioned buses with set stops. The route hugs the coast — sit on the left for sea views. At Banyuasri, ask locals to point you toward Puspa Rama (20-min walk, or ojek).
