Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Bali visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
The dry season (April–October) brings sunny, pleasant weather ideal for temples, Nusa Penida and the Mount Batur trek — the prime time to visit Bali.
Dry season (Apr–Oct)
Sunny and drier, perfect for the islands, beaches, sunrise treks and outdoor tours; July–August is busiest.
Wet season (Nov–Mar)
Hotter and humid with afternoon downpours; greener and cheaper, with rice terraces and waterfalls at their lushest.
Shoulder months
April–June and September–October offer great weather with fewer crowds — ideal for a balance of sun and value.
Peak seasons
July–August and the December holidays are busiest and priciest; book popular tours and Nusa Penida well ahead.
Sea conditions
Nusa Penida boat trips run year-round but are smoothest in the dry season; check conditions in the wet months.
One day
Enough for an Ubud tour and a sunset temple.
Two days
Add a Nusa Penida island trip.
Three days
The sweet spot: Ubud, Nusa Penida, and Mount Batur.
Four to five days
Add east Bali, adventure, waterfalls and beaches.
A week or more
Explore Ubud, the south, the islands and the north at leisure.
Travelling with kids
Mix the monkey forest, waterfalls and gentle rafting at a relaxed pace.
Private driver
Hiring a private driver for the day is the most popular, comfortable way to tour Bali’s sights flexibly.
Scooter hire
Scooters are cheap and popular for short hops, but Bali’s traffic and roads need care and a licence.
Ride apps & taxis
Ride-hailing apps and taxis work in many areas, though some zones restrict them; agree fares.
Boats
Fast boats from Sanur reach Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands; tours include transfers.
Tour transfers
Most tours include hotel pickup, saving the hassle of Bali’s busy roads.
From the airport
Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport is near the southern beaches; Ubud is about 1.5 hours by car.
Book popular tours ahead
Nusa Penida trips, Mount Batur treks and small-group Ubud tours fill up — book ahead, especially in high season.
Indonesian rupiah
Bali uses the rupiah; carry cash for entrance fees, markets and small vendors, though cards work in resorts and malls.
Dress for temples
A sarong and sash are required at temples (often provided); cover shoulders and knees as a sign of respect.
Hire a driver
A private driver makes touring easy and flexible, as distances are long on busy roads.
Start early
Begin Nusa Penida and Mount Batur trips early to beat crowds and heat; sunrise treks start before dawn.
Respect the culture
Bali is deeply spiritual; respect ceremonies, offerings and temple etiquette during your visit.
Nusa Penida trips
