Its about 20km by taxi and I assume that the toll road will be used by the taxi operator as it is quicker and reduces the distance to the 20km. The trip will still take about 45 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. Genuine Blue Bird Group is probably best but the meter will run until you arrive and you still have to get back. I'd suggest about $25 each way. If I was planning the trip, I would hire a car & driver through the hotel, probably $75 for 10 hours plus tolls, say $80 total plus tip. A good driver can do Garlic Lane and show you some other sights in Denpasar, and through Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, etc. We just did a similar trip ex Kuta to various sites in Denpasar, then to a seafood restaurant in Jimbaran with final stop at GWK Park and then back to our hotel. I find that I get good value through the hotels, no hassles, good English speaking and understanding and if there is a problem just head to reception before you pay. The market hours at night do not seem to be fixed, closing time seems to be at the whim of the stallholders. Most are gone by 8.00pm and may even be gone by 6.30/7.00pm if business is no good. I have an aversion to night markets; difficult to determine quality and colour. Better in daylight. Enjoy.
