With tourism demand exploding, the government of Bali island, Indonesia - voted the most beautiful island in Asia by Condé Nast Traveler magazine - is planning to deploy 'water taxis' to reduce traffic congestion.

According to Bali Governor Wayan Koster, the "water taxi" service will be deployed on the route connecting I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport with the Nusa Dua area in Badung Regency, providing a new mode of transportation for tourists.
“The use of jukung, a traditional Balinese boat, is being tested to measure the efficiency of water transport,” Mr. Koster shared.
Test results showed that the travel time by traditional boat from I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport to Uluwatu temple in Nusa Dua takes about 35-40 minutes, while by motorboat it takes 25-30 minutes.
In addition to “water taxis”, the government is also considering other transport solutions to enhance connectivity between major tourist destinations.
Bali, famous for its breathtaking landscapes, pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage, welcomed an estimated 6.3 million foreign visitors in 2024. This year, Asia's most beautiful island aims to welcome 6.5 million international visitors.
