Getting from Kintamani to the Tegalalang Rice Terraces (assuming that's what you mean by "Ceking Rice Fields," as they're very close). Will Grab or Gojek work?

I'm thinking to squeeze Mt Batur hike, cafe visits and the rice fields on the same day. There are klook tour packages but they seem like they are quite a rush so I'm hoping to go on my own. I&… more

Grab and Gojek coverage can be patchy outside of main tourist hubs in Bali. While they might work, relying on them for that trip is risky, especially given your packed itinerary. Consider a pre-booked private driver; it'll be more reliable and less stressful than chasing unreliable transport between Kintamani, Mt. Batur, cafes, and the rice terraces in one day.

Kuta to Sanur or Seminyak on New Year's Eve?

Partner's in Kuta hospital, roads closing for NYE. Better bet for getting back to a hotel in Sanur or Seminyak tomorrow evening?

Oof, that's a tough one. New Year's Eve in Bali is… something else. Sanur's generally calmer than Seminyak, so the roads might be slightly less chaotic getting back to your hotel. But with your partner in the hospital, the shortest, least congested route wins. Use Google Maps (or whatever app you have) right now – check traffic predictions for both routes at the time you anticipate leaving. That'll give you the best real-time answer. And honestly, maybe have a backup plan...like a driver on standby if things get truly insane. Wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
