Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, which lasts from April to October. During these months, the weather is warm and sunny with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities like beach-hopping, surfing, diving, and exploring the island’s lush landscapes. July and August are the peak tourist months due to summer vacations, meaning higher prices and crowded attractions. If you prefer fewer crowds while still enjoying great weather, consider visiting in May, June, or September, when the island is slightly less busy but still offers perfect conditions for sightseeing and adventure.
If you're looking for a quieter and more budget-friendly experience, the wet season from November to March may still be an option, especially for those who don’t mind occasional tropical downpours. While heavy rains can limit some outdoor activities, Bali remains warm year-round, and the landscape is at its greenest during this time. Plus, accommodations and flights tend to be cheaper, and popular spots are less crowded. December and January are exceptions, as they coincide with Christmas and New Year's holidays, making them another busy period despite the rainy weather.
