Girls Trip in Bali

Foreigner Girls’ Trip in Bali: Each Taking Gojek to Avoid Traffic Jams

Share:

Bali is known for its breathtaking beaches, vibrant nightlife, and, unfortunately, its heavy traffic. For tourists, getting around can be a challenge, but online motorcycle taxis have become a reliable solution—especially for those looking to avoid long hours stuck in congestion.

One viral video on TikTok, uploaded by @megsy012, showcases a group of foreign female tourists in Bali choosing to ride with individual Gojek drivers rather than taking a car. This ‘Girls trip in Bali’ video, captioned, “absolute convoy here #bali #canggu #seminyak #travelling #girlstrip,” shows the girls riding in a convoy, each on their own motorbike.

The video quickly gained attention, with thousands of likes and a flood of comments. One user asked, “But 4 motorbikes at the same rate as 1 car? Right? We will be going to Bali in April and plan to do the same.” The video owner responded, “When we were there a week ago the traffic was so bad that bikes were the best option!!!!”—confirming just how congested Bali’s roads have become.

Another commenter shared their experience, saying, “Me and my friends had to do this for an hour drive from a beach club back to Canggu, and when they take different routes, you get so scared 🤣.”

Clearly, this method of transport is gaining popularity among tourists looking for a faster and more adventurous way to explore Bali.

Unusual Experiences of Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers in Bali

While online motorcycle taxis are a convenient choice for tourists, drivers often encounter unique and sometimes unexpected situations. Here are some extraordinary experiences shared by drivers:

1. Receiving Unexpected Gifts

A TikTok video uploaded by @rescue_2000 features a foreign tourist named Rescue from Chile, who was moved by the dedication of his motorcycle taxi driver. The driver, who had physical disabilities—one deformed arm and the other missing—was still working hard to deliver food orders.

Amazed by his determination, Rescue decided to give the driver a cash prize of IDR 600,000. Initially, the driver was confused since the food order had already been paid for. However, Rescue clarified that the money was simply a gift to show appreciation for his hard work.

2. Tourists Appreciating Thoughtful Restaurant Menus

Another unique moment was shared by TikTok user @montana.ontour, who was touched by a small but thoughtful initiative by a restaurant in Bali.

“I was touched! This restaurant in Bali invites us to treat the driver while waiting for our food order. This should be implemented by all restaurants,” wrote Montana, alongside a video showing a list of drinks and snacks offered to waiting drivers at the restaurant.

This kind gesture highlights the community spirit in Bali, where tourists and locals often come together to appreciate those who work hard to keep the island running smoothly.

Bali’s traffic can be overwhelming, but online motorcycle taxis provide an effective way for tourists to get around quickly. As shown by the viral TikTok video, many travellers are choosing motorbikes over cars to navigate the island more efficiently.

At the same time, stories from online motorcycle taxi drivers reveal the kindness and generosity of both locals and tourists. Whether it’s a gift for a hardworking driver or a restaurant offering snacks to waiting couriers, these moments showcase the heartwarming side of travel in Bali.

For those planning a trip, taking a motorbike taxi might be the best way to explore the island and create unforgettable memories.
