Airports, seaports and connections in Bali (Denpasar)
- AirportNgurah Rai
DPS - SeaportBenoa
I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), south of Denpasar, is Bali's airport and one of Indonesia's busiest international gateways, with frequent passenger flights carrying belly cargo to Asia, Australia and the Middle East. This makes air freight the main export mode for Bali's craft and furniture producers. Sea freight runs through Benoa Port, though many containers for Bali are routed via Tanjung Perak in Surabaya and moved to the island by road and ferry.
The Bali Mandara toll road crosses Benoa Bay and links the airport area with Nusa Dua and Benoa Port. Main roads connect Denpasar with Ubud, Gianyar and the craft villages, and with Gilimanuk in the west, from where ferries cross to Ketapang in East Java. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Bali, including the craft centres around Ubud and Gianyar.
