Hello, my name is Nengah Suda, and I am a personal driver based in Karangasem Kubu East, Bali. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of meeting countless visitors, each seeking a unique and memorable experience in Bali. The name of my service, "Ride and Relax Bali," reflects not only the nature of my work but also the essence of the island itself — a place where adventure and tranquility coexist. But for me, this isn't just about providing transportation; it’s about sharing my love for Bali and connecting with people from all over the world.
The Beginnings of a Passion

Since childhood, I’ve been inspired by my uncle, who had a remarkable ability to communicate with tourists. Watching him interact with people from various backgrounds sparked a deep desire in me to follow in his footsteps. I was fascinated by his conversations with foreigners, sharing Balinese culture, and building relationships that lasted beyond a single trip. This led me to start learning English, so I could have those same meaningful conversations and help visitors explore the island that I hold dear.
Driving tourists around Bali isn’t just about showing them the sights. For me, it’s an opportunity to foster genuine connections. It’s about creating memories that go beyond the journey itself — memories rooted in shared experiences, cultural exchanges, and a deeper understanding of Bali’s rich heritage. This passion has motivated me to continually improve, not only as a driver but as a cultural ambassador for Bali.
What Sets Me Apart

As a personal driver in Bali, I know you have many options when choosing someone to guide you through the island’s wonders. But what sets me apart from others is my approach to service and relationships. I don’t just consider myself a driver — I see my role as a host, a friend, and sometimes even a family member to my guests. When you ride with me, it’s more than just transportation. I go the extra mile to ensure that your experience is comfortable, safe, and deeply personal.
Trust is a key part of my service. When someone recommends me, it’s because they trust not only my driving skills but also my character. I understand that when people come to Bali, they want more than a guide — they want someone who cares. I’m committed to giving my guests not just the best service, but a part of my life. Each interaction is important to me, and I strive to make every moment meaningful, whether we are talking about Balinese traditions, history, or just sharing laughs over an inside joke about monkeys!

In fact, I like to think of myself as the “King Kong” of Bali, not because I’m big or loud, but because I take pride in protecting and taking care of my guests, much like the fictional character does for those he loves. I treat every person I drive not as a customer, but as a friend. I’m here not just to show you the island, but to ensure you feel a genuine connection to it and its people.
My Relationship with Bali

Born and raised in Bali, I know this island inside and out — every corner, every road, and every hidden gem. Bali isn’t just where I live; it’s where I thrive. My life, my roots, and my legacy are all here. As I like to say, "Born in Bali, live in Bali, die in Bali." This deep connection to the island allows me to offer something beyond a basic tour. I can guide you to places that only locals know, whether it's a secret beach, a family-owned restaurant, or an authentic cultural event that tourists rarely get to experience.
I know all the best spots for food, relaxation, and even adventure. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to enjoy a traditional Balinese meal or an exciting party to let loose, I’ve got you covered. And if you’re up for it, I can even recommend a good tattoo artist to help you mark your Bali adventure forever!
Why I Do What I Do
For me, driving is more than a job — it’s a way of life. It’s an opportunity to meet people from all over the world, learn from their stories, and share my own. It’s a way to bridge the gap between cultures, helping visitors understand what makes Bali so special.
The joy I get from my work is not about the money — it’s about the relationships I build. I cherish the conversations I have with my guests, learning about their lives and sharing my own experiences. These connections last long after the trip ends, and that’s something I truly value. Many of my past guests have become lifelong friends, staying in touch and even returning to Bali to visit again.
Every journey I take with my guests is an opportunity for me to learn and grow. As much as I teach them about Bali, they also teach me about the world beyond this island. It’s a beautiful exchange that keeps me passionate about what I do.
