Bali and Lombok's hilly terrain, strong sea currents, and narrow streets with little parking may not make ideal conditions for travelers with disabilities but that shouldn't stop anyone from traveling here. What the islands lack in infrastructure they make up for with caring people and a willingness to help.
Two well-established companies can arrange all your travel needs, suitable accommodations, and any equipment hire. They also have a full-service bus with a lift facility. Special caretakers can be arranged through these websites at a cost of approximately US$20 a day. Contact Bali Access Travel, Jl.
