On a trip to Bali in 2023 with a friend who uses a wheelchair, we gained insight to the challenges faced by seniors and people with disability when trying to find accessible tourism providers.

As we sat around a table in the Orchid Farm and discussed this issue, the concept of Access Bali was born!

We decided we would develop a website listing tourism providers with different levels of accessibility infrastructure. When you look through the tourism providers on this website, you will be able to choose what works for you as you know yourself best!

You can rely on us because we personally inspect every tourism provider listed, gather detailed information about their accessibility infrastructure, and take photos.
