The Best Time to Visit Bali for Every Activity

Bali seasons, explained — these are the best times to visit the island, whether you're coming for the beaches, hiking, or festivals.

Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences. T+L's editors have traveled to countries all over the world, having flown, sailed, road tripped, and taken the train countless miles. They've visited small towns and big cities, hidden gems and popular destinations, beaches and mountains, and everything in between. With a breadth of knowledge about destinations around the globe, air travel, cruises, hotels, food and drinks, outdoor adventure, and more, they are able to take their real-world experience and provide readers with tried-and-tested trip ideas, in-depth intel, and inspiration at every point of a journey.

Bali is a magical destination with so much to offer, from the jungle surrounding Ubud (largely considered Bali's cultural center) to the beaches lining its southern shore.

You can make your Bali vacation whatever you want it to be — a tour of the island's many temples, a spiritual journey to learn more about Hinduism, a yoga retreat, a luxury hotel immersion, a hiking adventure, or a stop on a longer trip around Indonesia. You might even want to visit Bali specifically for one of the many festivals or spiritual celebrations hosted each year.

Bali has a tropical climate with average temperatures hovering between around 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Its two seasons are defined as dry (April to October) and wet (November to March). Here's a general breakdown of Bali's tourist seasons:

• High Seasons:  June to August and November to December
• Shoulder Seasons:  April to May and September to October
• Low Season:  January to March

Below, we've mapped out the best times to go to Bali, depending on how you want to spend your vacation.

Best Times to Visit Bali for Smaller Crowds

January to March is Bali's true off-season. These months can be humid and rainy, which means you won't find crowds in search of perfect beach weather and diving conditions. And because you'll also be avoiding the biggest holiday months (November and December), you'll find the island to be calm and populated by locals and expats.

While the rain brings mosquitos and may take activities like diving and surfing off the table, it's not a deal-breaker if you're in Bali to tour temples, practice yoga, and find pure relaxation. In fact, you might find that the peaceful rain in the Ubud forest adds to the overall serenity of your experience. The jungle and rice paddies thrive in this season — and the magnificent green color and sprouting vegetation are worth seeing.

Best Times to Visit Bali for Good Weather

Sunseekers should time their trip with Bali's dry season, which runs from April to October. During this period, humidity and rain decrease, creating ideal conditions for visiting beaches, surfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. It still rains during these months, especially in April, May, and October, but showers are usually short and followed by clear skies. May is one of the hottest months, with an average high of 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

For the best weather, visit during July and August, the peak of the dry season. With less humidity, these months feel cooler, with an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so they're perfect for enjoying a mix of active adventures and beach time. Those coming to Bali to catch some legendary waves should also aim to visit during the dry season, with June to August bringing larger swells to the main surf spots along the southwest coast.

Best Times to Visit Bali for Lower Prices

The busiest and most expensive time in Bali is during the dry season, with hotel prices peaking between June and September. Tourism also sees a boost during the holidays, so you can expect higher hotel prices in November and December.

The most affordable time to visit Bali is from January through March, the rainy-season months that fall outside of the festive season. Hotel prices during this time tend to be lower due to the lack of demand, making it possible to score ocean-view rooms or multi-bedroom villas for a fraction of the price you would pay during the dry season. You may also find deals during the quiet shoulder season months, April and October.

Best Months for Hiking in Bali

If you're traveling to Bali specifically to hike, visiting between April and October is ideal, as the rainy season can cause trails to be muddy and slippery. For those planning to do some waterfall hikes, the best time to visit Bali is in April, May, and June, when the cascades are strong following the wet season, and the days are more likely to be sunny. Hikers who rent motorbikes will also have an easier time zipping around the island during the dry season since the roads can become treacherous in the rain.

Best Time to Hike Mount Batur

Mount Batur is perhaps the most iconic Bali hike. Typically, you'll book through a tour company that will pick you up from your hotel at about 2 a.m. for the 1,717-meter (5,633-foot) trek. You'll summit the active volcano as the sun rises, and depending on your guide, you may even be treated to eggs boiled in the volcanic steam at the top of Mount Batur. The two-hour hike to the summit is best done between May and September to ensure dry weather and clear views.

Best Times to Visit Bali for Festivals

One of the most iconic annual events in Bali is the Bali Arts Festival, which occurs in June and July. Indonesian Independence Day (or Hari Merdeka) falls on August 17 and is commemorated with parades and outdoor celebrations. Keep in mind that if you're traveling for a Hindu celebration, Balinese Hindus often celebrate different holidays than Hindus in India. Galungan, for example, is an important 10-day celebration of the triumph of good over evil (dharma over adharma) that occurs every 210 days according to the Balinese Pawukon calendar. Nyepi, a day of silence, fasting, and meditation before the New Year, typically takes place in March.

Best Months to Visit the Beach in Bali

May to September is the best time to visit Bali for a classic beach vacation. Days tend to be hot, sunny, and dry, creating ideal conditions for snorkeling, diving, and other water sports. However, the drawback of visiting Bali during this period is that most of these months fall within the peak season. The temples, beaches, hotels, and yoga classes will be crowded, so it's likely you won't have as many opportunities to soak up that sweet Balinese serenity you're treated to in the low season.

Worst Times to Visit Bali

Of course, those looking for a quintessential Bali vacation with plenty of sunshine and outdoor activities will want to avoid the rainy season (especially during the wettest months, December and January). At this time of year, it's common to experience choppy seas, muddy trails, and afternoon storms, which can quite literally put a damper on your plans. However, travelers looking to spend their days practicing yoga, visiting temples, or enjoying cultural experiences indoors may prefer the quieter atmosphere.

Due to higher levels of precipitation, mosquitos can be particularly prolific in the rainy season and the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses (like dengue fever) increases accordingly. If you do plan to visit during the wet season, bug repellant is a must-have on your pack list — especially when hiking in the jungle. Some locals also drink lemongrass tea, which is believed to be a natural insect repellent.

Best Time to Visit Bali: Month by Month Breakdown

Bali is one of the most popular islands in Southeast Asia, and deciding the best time to visit Bali is going to affect not only the weather you experience but also how many other tourists are there with you.

Like most of tropical Indonesia, Bali only really has two seasons throughout the year, the dry season and the wet season. 

All year-round, it’s hot, and for many, Bali can be visited any time of the year, but between November and March, you can expect downpours most days during the wet season. 

April to October is the dry season and you can expect larger crowds and higher prices but the weather will be perfect.

Often, the best time to visit Bali is a trade-off between the weather and the number of visitors. 

To help you to plan your trip, here’s our guide on the best time to visit Bali.

Bali Dry Season

The dry season is the best time to visit Bali when it comes to the weather because for half of the year you can expect beautiful clear skies and almost no rainfall.

The dry season in Bali runs from May to October, although this can vary each year. The peak months are the height of the Balinese winter, which is June, July, and August.

May in Bali

May is the start of the official dry season in Bali, but you can still expect a mixed bag when it comes to the weather.

One year it could be raining all through May but the next it can be dry from as early as April. 

If it does rain in May though it’s guaranteed to just be a few light showers, and this is the best time to visit before you hit the high season from June to August.

Prices will be lower in May and with the better weather, it’s a good time to start diving and snorkeling, as the water visibility clears up.

It’s getting cooler too and less humid, so a hike to the summit of Bali’s mysterious volcano, Mount Batur, can be a great activity in May, as you’ll miss the crowds and enjoy better conditions for hiking. 

June in Bali

June is the start of the high season in Bali, although it’s not quite as busy a month as July and August. The weather is likely to be perfect with temperatures averaging in the mid-twenties and humidity low. 

You’ll have to be really unlucky to see even a light rain shower, so it’s a great time to hit up the beaches and make the most of the clear skies and sunshine. 

Prices start to climb in June, but you’ll miss the worst of the high season which picks up towards the end of the month when the European summer holidays begin in earnest. 

In June you should visit the more touristy attractions such as the famous temples in the south – Uluwatu for instance – or the increasingly popular Nusa Islands before the summer crowds make their appearance. 

July in Bali

July is usually the busiest month to visit Bali, but for good reason, and that’s because you’ll be enjoying the best weather of the year. 

But as well as enjoying sunny, clear skies and zero rain, you’ll be sharing the beaches and resorts with hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers. People flock here from Europe, America and more than anywhere else, from Australia. 

Prices will be higher for flights and hotels, but if you do want to escape the crowds then head north.

This is a great time to experience a side of Bali that most miss, and by exploring the black sand beaches of Amed or the coast and jungle of Bali Barat National Park, you’ll see how the south of Bali was a few decades previously. 

August in Bali

Much like July, August is always super busy in Bali. The weather is again beautiful, with clear skies and sunny days, and it’s a great time for lounging on beaches and drinking cold Bintang Beers. 

If you want to escape the holiday crowds though then plan a trip north, and visit the beautiful coastline in more rustic destinations such as Lovina or Amed, where tourism has only recently begun to develop.

There are great snorkeling and diving up north too, including some famous shipwrecks, and as it’s the height of the dry season the water will be beautifully clear.

September in Bali

September can be the best time to visit Bali if you want a great mix of good weather and smaller crowds. 

Things will still be busy and flights will be more expensive than the later shoulder season months. But you’ll save money compared to the true high season and have fewer people around when you explore touristy destinations such as Ubud, Kuta or the Nusa Islands. 

October in Bali

October is a great shoulder season month, but the dry weather is coming to a close. There are more and more rainy days, but these can be unpredictable.

If you’re in Bali for two weeks, you’ll most likely have enough dry days to make the most of your visit. 

Enjoy the south and the more traditional beach areas, get cultural in Ubud or escape to the north to see a wilder side of the island. 

Bali Wet Season 

The wet season in Bali runs from November through to April, corresponding with the southern hemisphere summer and fall.

It’s tropical, and that means that while it does rain hard when it rains, showers and storms are brief but fierce.

The rainy season can be a great time to miss the crowds but give December and January a miss because these two months are still incredibly popular despite the wet weather. 

November in Bali

November is when the rainy season starts in Bali, but just how much rain there will be, can vary.

You’ll have good odds of having lovely sunny days still, and it’s a great time to visit because you’ll miss the Christmas crowds who are just around the corner. 

You can get wonderful deals on flights and hotels through November, and you’ll still be able to snorkel and dive before the water gets too cloudy from the rains.

It’s getting hotter, but take a trip to the summit of Mount Batur and you’ll be able to cool down after a challenging hike to the top of Bali’s iconic volcano. 

December in Bali

December is usually the rainiest month of the year, and weather-wise, this really is not the best time to visit Bali. 

The tourist crowds would beg to differ though because while you might get soaked, it’s also incredibly warm still.

That draws over the Christmas crowds seeking winter sun from Europe and North America , and it still brings over the Aussie crowds looking for a cheap getaway. 

It’s a lively time to be in Bali, and it’s not a bad place at all to spend Christmas and New Year, but be prepared for high prices and lots of other travelers and tourists. 

January in Bali

January can be just as busy as December and unfortunately, just as rainy. This is the height of the wet season, but again, it doesn’t put off the crowds. 

If you do visit, then the southern beaches and classic resort areas are best avoided. Head north instead, and find a bit more peace and quiet in the lesser-visited parts of Bali.

February in Bali

In February, the weather starts to cool down slightly and the rainy days begin to disappear, but it’s still very much the wet season. 

It’s a great shoulder season month, right after the Christmas crowds go home, and you can enjoy many of Bali’s best sights with fewer people around. 

Head to the waterfalls, as they will be in their element, and the jungle will be lush and green from all the rainfall over the last few months. 

March in Bali

March can be a wet month or it can be a dry month, the weather gods in Bali are unpredictable this time of the year. 

It will be a quiet month on the tourism front though and that makes it the best time to visit Bali if you’re a fan of shoulder season travel. 

The Christmas and New Year crowds are long gone, and the dry season tourists are a few months away.

You can get great deals on flights and resorts if you book in advance, and you’ll find that lots of beach areas in the south such as Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu are quieter.

This is Bali though, so if you’re here for the social aspects then there are always other travelers around to hang out with. 

April in Bali

April is a great shoulder month, but be careful of the Easter Holidays in Australia or Europe, as Bali becomes a popular holiday break destination during this time of the year. 

You could enjoy almost all sunny days or conversely it could also rain a lot, but that’s the gamble in April as the rainy season draws to a close. 

It’s the tail end of the wet season though and Bali will be blooming, making this a great month to visit the waterfalls and the rice paddies before they start to dry out again.

Visit Ubud for cultural festivals and then hike through the rice terraces nearby.

Best Time to Visit Bali: When to Go & When to Avoid!

Home » Blog » Travel Tips » Best Time to Visit Bali: When to Go & When to Avoid!

Bali makes an excellent destination for vacationers year-round. However, each season has unique draws and drawbacks. We’re going over exactly what to expect in each season to help you determine the best time to visit Bali for YOU!

Bali technically sits below the equator in the southern hemisphere (exactly 8° south of the equator if you want to get precise). Which means the seasons are opposite those of the Northern Hemisphere.

However, Bali has a warm, tropical climate all year round. This means they don’t experience the same changing of the seasons like you would see in say  New Zealand .

Temperatures in Bali don’t fluctuate much throughout the year. The two distinct seasons in Bali are simply the rainy season and the dry season . Otherwise known as the busy tourism season, and the even busier tourism season. 

This may sound pretty straight forward… you want to visit during the dry season right?? Well, we think the answer is just a bit more complicated than that.

There are pros and cons to visiting during both seasons and as with any destination, the weather is never as predictable as we’d like it to be.

So this begs the question…

When is the best time of year to visit Bali?

In short, you’ll have the best chance of comfortable weather during the peak of the dry season, June – August. We’d recommend to avoid visiting during the December holidays as not only is this peak rainy season, but crowds are also heavy. 

Our personal pick would be to visit Bali during the shoulder months, May, June or September, to avoid the rain and the crowds. But more on that later…

Truthfully, as with all questions of this nature, there is no correct answer. Bali makes an excellent destination for vacationers and digital nomads all year round. Each season has its own unique draws (and  drawbacks  too).

But fear not…

We’re going to go over the pros and cons of visiting Bali during each season to help you decide which time of year is ideal for YOU.

Answer these questions to get started:

• Do you mind a bit of rain?
• Are you easily bothered by crowds?
• Are you negatively affected by high humidity?
• Do you prefer to spend your time outdoors hiking and cycling?
• Are you into water sports such as scuba diving or surfing?

Thinking about your answers to these questions is going to help you start to determine when to visit Bali.

Our experience in Bali 

We’ve visited Bali for multiple month stretches during the the spring, summer & fall months

When: August (2015), mid-August – mid-November (2018), June – August (2019), March – April (2023)

Our experience:

• The rainy season was prolonged a bit further into April than usual in 2023, but the sun still came out daily
• It was noticeably more humid in March than in April
• Observing Neyepi (the Balinese day of silence) in Bali was an interesting experience as no one was allowed to leave the home and we couldn’t turn on the lights after dark (around 6:30 p.m.)

Would we recommend visiting Bali in spring? 

Mostly, yes. As long as you don’t mind a bit of rain and humidity, visiting during the shoulder season means less crowds than in summertime. Most activities are enjoyable year round in Bali. 

• We experienced pretty dry, warm weather in the summer months with lots of sunshine
• The ocean temperatures are warmer in the winter and spring than in the summertime
• We were able to go scuba diving in Amed with just a shorty wetsuit
• The popular tourist hubs like Canggu and Ubud are very busy during the summer and traffic can be quite chaotic

Would we recommend visiting Bali in the summer? 

Yes! The weather in Bali is at its best during the summer months of the northern hemisphere. Even though the summer draws more crowds (mostly vacationers from Australia who are fleeing the winter down under), it’s worth it to experience the best weather possible. 

• October is known as one of the last months of the dry season, with humidity building until the rainy season begins (typically November – April). 
• Personally, we didn’t notice the humidity getting much worse during our stay from August through November, and we don’t remember any rain during this period.
• We had great weather, clear skies, and beachy temperatures during our stay.
• We did leave Bali in mid-November (for a trip to New Zealand ), so we missed the rainy season.
• It seemed that the fall crowds of foreigners were mainly digital nomads and expats, rather than people on vacation, which you’ll see more of in the summer months.

Would we recommend visiting Bali in the fall? 

Yes, we’d recommend early fall. If possible, try to visit between September and early to mid-November so you can avoid the rainy season.

Bali is a small island in Southeast Asia between the Indian and the Pacific oceans. As one of the 17,000+ islands that make up the nation of Indonesia , Bali is commonly the most recognized and easily the most visited by tourists.

The volcanic island is made up of peaks, some of which rise over 3,000 meters (almost 10,000 ft high!). And some are still active. In fact, recent eruptions in the past few years have been known to cause flight delays and cancelations due to ash in the air.

Bali’s volcanic nature, combined with the mountain peaks that bring rain, contribute to it’s lush greenery and exceptional fertility . Rice is the most common crop grown on Bali and you’ll see evidence everywhere you go with terracing rice fields making beautiful backdrops in your photos.

Since Bali is so close to the equator, the daylight hours are pretty consistent year round . The longest day of the year is 12.5 hours and the shortest day of the year is 11.5 hours. This makes the sunrise and sunset pretty consistent around 6 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. daily.

As we mentioned above, Bali predominantly has two distinct seasons: the rainy season and the dry season . Being in a tropical climate, humidity and precipitation are the only patterns that really change with the season. Daytime temperatures hover between mid-70s to mid-80s ( ° F) throughout the year.

At just about 3,500 sq. miles (5,632 km² to be exact), the island is fairly small and weather doesn’t vary much from coast to coast. However, the volcanic peaks that make up the center of the island will have consistently cooler temperatures and more rainfall than the lower coastal areas.

Stats on Bali weather & seasons:

• Warmest month in Bali:  April
• Coldest month in Bali:  August
• Rainiest month in Bali:  January
• Driest month in Bali:  August
• Most crowded months in Bali:  April, June – August & December
• Least crowded months in Bali:  September – November & January – February

Dry Season in Bali

Temptation to escape the winter months in the southern hemisphere, combined with little rain and lower humidity in Bali makes the dry season a very crowded time to visit. The is particularly true for the winter months of June – August.

Accommodation can also be hard to come by with so many tourists on holiday, so it’s a good idea to book in advance if you plan to visit during Bali during this time of year.

Dry season months at a glance

April:  The island tends to see the warmest temps during April. The Easter holiday week is a busy time in Bali, but the rest of the month tends to see more “shoulder season” traffic.

• Average daily temp: 77-94° F (25-34° C)

May:  Moving into the “shoulder season” for tourism, May is still very hot but humidity is going down.

• Average daily temp: 75-92° F (24-33° C)

June:  The first month of the winter in the Southern hemisphere, and temperatures continue to drop. June is on the edge of “shoulder season” and peak tourism near the end of the month.

• Average daily temp: 72-89° F (22-32° C)

July:  Tourism spikes during the month of July and prices for accommodation may jump as much as 50%. You should book accommodation early if you plan to visit during July as places tend to book up quickly.

• Average daily temp: 73-87° F (23-31° C)

August:  Bali typically has coolest temperatures of the year during the month of August. The peak of tourism runs through August and accommodation prices stay as high as they were in July. Indonesian Independence Day is celebrated on Aug 17th.

• Average daily temp: 72-85° F (22-29° C)

September:  Tourism drops off just a bit after August as September is the first month of the typical “shoulder season” in Bali. 

• Average daily temp: 73-89° F (23-32° C)

October:  Temperatures are beginning to rise, but it’s still fairly dry with less humidity. Crowds are slightly thinner during this month.

• Average daily temp: 75-93° F (24-34° C)

Best places to visit during dry season in Bali

• Amed :  the popular diving region on Bali’s east coast, home to the famous USAT Liberty Shipwreck. Just a 2 hour drive from Denpasar.
• Off-the-beaten-track destinations such as  Sideman : a 45 min drive from Ubud, beautiful laidback countryside filled with rolling hills and rice terraces
• Get away to the nearby islands such as  Nusa Penida,  Lombok  (which includes the famous Gili Islands), or  Flores . 

Best things to do during dry season in Bali

• The weather during dry season is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, sailing, etc. 
• Try a new water sport such as surfing or diving
• Hike Mount Batur at sunrise
• Do a bike tour of the Balinese country-side with  Ring a Bike Tour  (and be sure to tell Ring that Two Wandering Soles sent you!)
• Bali Arts Festival (2nd Saturday of June – mid-July)
• Bali Kites Festival (Jul-Aug)

Pros of visiting Bali during the dry season

• Very little rain
• Humidity is bearable
• Mosquitoes/insects aren’t as big of a concern
• Lots of festivals and events happening

Cons of visiting Bali during the dry season

• Peak tourism season (particularly July/Aug)
• Hotel prices spike in July/Aug
• Traffic gets pretty crazy in Bali (all the time) but especially so in the major tourism areas such as Kuta and North Kuta during the high season. More tourists on the roads mean a higher chance for accidents from people driving in unfamiliar territory. 
• Major tourist attractions such as temples and parks will be very crowded 

What to pack for Bali during the dry season

• Good hiking/walking shoes (we recommend  Chacos sandals  as they are perfect for hiking, and lighter than hiking boots)
• Reef safe sunscreen
• Optional: Surfboard or diving gear

Rainy Season in Bali

During the rainy season in Bali, the weather is more inconsistent. Downpours can span for days, or dissipate after just an hour.

Temperatures are at their highest during this time of year in Bali and with the frequent precipitation comes high humidity as well. Insects, as we know, love humidity, so be prepared to fight off swarms of mosquitos!

Bali is pretty full of tourists all year round, however, this is technically “low season” for tourism because of the rain and humidity. Even during the rainy season though, you’re likely to get sunshine in between showers. 

Rainy season months at a glance

November:  You may be tempted to beat the rising November heat by swimming, surfing or diving in Bali. However, it’s a good thing to keep in mind that the sea is usually roughest during November.

• Average daily temp: 74-91° F (23-33° C)

December:  Bali is typically most crowded over the Christmas/New Years holidays. Prices will spike over the holidays as foreigners come to celebrate while on vacation. Accommodation over the holidays will be pricy and fill up fast. However, the rest of the month is relatively less crowded.

January:  The least crowded month in Bali, but also the month with the most rainfall. January typically sees very few days without at least a drizzle. That being said, even during rainy season, the skies dry out every once in a while.

February:  Between low and “shoulder season,” February is still quite hot and humid. However, with the frequent precipitation you’re likely to see slightly less tourists.

• Average daily temp: 76-92° F (24-33° C)

March:  Crowds start building as it’s spring break in the northern hemisphere and people are starting to filter in for the dry season. Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, falls in March. It is important to be aware of this date because the Balinese Hindu people celebrate this day with a day of silence. For a full 24 hours, everyone (even tourists) is expected to remain indoors and no noise is permitted. Beaches and businesses are closed down for the day, including the international airport. So this will definitely affect your trip if you are planning to visit Bali in March. 

Best places to visit during rainy season in Bali

• Tannah Lot Temple  – be sure to visit during low tide so you can walk out to the entrance of the temple and be blessed with the spring water that flows from the temple and is considered holy. 
• Uluwatu Temple  – Watch out for the moneys here! They are everywhere and very sneaky. Make sure you have your bags zipped and close to your body at all times. Put sunglasses and anything loose into your bags while here, or those moneys may just try to rob you. If you are holding a phone or camera, make sure you keep a good grip on it and hold it close to your body when not in use. 

• Ubud Monkey Forest  – one of the most popular attractions in Ubud is a good place to visit during low season, particularly if you go while it’s drizzling out. (See our note about watching out for monkeys above as they are prone to swipping here as well.)
• Sekumpul Waterfall  – Often referred to as the most beautiful waterfall in Bali, we tend to agree!
• Banyumala Twin Falls  – This stunning waterfall doesn’t always have enough water flow, so it’d best to visit during rainy season to ensure an epic view.

Best things to do during rainy season in Bali

• Try a  cooking class
• Devdan Dance and Music Show
• Balinese massage, or go full-out and pamper yourself with a spa day!
• Craft-making workshop (such as a  Batik class  or  soap carving workshop )
• Take a yoga class (we recommend The Practice in Canggu or Yoga Barn in Ubud)
• Nusa Dua Festival (Oct-Nov)
• Mekepung Buffalo races (held in Negara during the fall)

Pros of visiting Bali during the rainy season

• High humidity/high temps deter some tourists from visiting during this time, so Bali tends to be less crowded.
• Typical tourist attractions such as temples and beaches will be less crowded than in busy season.
• Traffic on the roads won’t be quite as busy as the typical hustle and bustle of high season.
• Bali’s weather is still fairly sunny, even during the rainy season you’ll usually see sunny skies for at least part of the day.

Cons of visiting Bali during the rainy season

• Higher chance of rain – as often as daily in January
• High temperatures and high humidity
• Mosquitos…eek!
• Decreased visibility at dive sites due to weather

What to pack for Bali during the rainy season

• bug repellant  (solids are the way to go)
• rubber flip flops
• light, loose fitting, breathable clothing

In our opinion, the best time to visit Bali would be during the “shoulder season” months of May, June or September. Here are our primary reasons for choosing this time:

• Room prices are not at peak rates (usually 30-50% lower)
• Weather is dry and less humid than peak of rainy season
• Not too crowded
• Good sea conditions for diving/surfing/snorkeling
• Reasonable airfare can be found (Hint: Use these  hacks for booking cheap flights !)
• Promotional sales in shops on the island

We’d recommend to avoid visiting during the December holidays as not only is this peak rainy season, but crowds are also heavy.

The best times to visit Bali based on your travel goals

Oct 30, 2023 • 4 min read

In Bali, the weather is warm and the hammocks are comfortable year-round © anyaberkut / Getty Images

With awe-inspiring scenery, dense layers of culture, plenty of sun, surf and sand, and balmy temperatures year-round, Bali calls out like a beacon to adventurers, sun-seekers and travelers who like to truly immerse themselves in the countries they visit. Whatever your travel tastes, you'll find rewarding things to see and do in Bali at any time of year.

The dry season, from April to September, is the most enjoyable time of the year for outdoor activities, including basking on beaches, hiking, surfing, sailing, diving and canyoning. Visit during the wet season (November to March), and you'll experience frequent downpours, but there's good surf on the east coast, and you can still enjoy the outdoors, especially in drier areas in the east and north of the island. Temperatures in Bali don’t vary much from season to season, hovering between 28°C and 32°C (82°F to 90°F) year-round, though it's often cooler in mountain areas. Whatever you're looking for in Bali, here are the best times to come.

The high season (July–August and December) is the best time for festivals and partying

The high season in Bali coincides with the traditional summer vacation season in Europe, America, and Australia in July and August. It's the height of the dry season and the peak time for surfing on the west coast at the breaks around Canggu and Seminyak . Bali's original beach hub, Kuta , can be mobbed at this time of year, as many travelers come here specifically for the party season. 

Most parts of Bali are inundated with visitors in summer, as tourists come to sample the island’s many delights and enjoy some of its most colorful festivals. Indonesia celebrates its independence from colonial powers on August 17 with plenty of pomp and fanfare. Expect entertaining parades and street parties in the bigger towns. 

The period around Christmas and New Year also sees a large influx of travelers seeking a reprieve from cold northern winters. Many hotels, restaurants and other venues organize special dinners and entertainment to mark the festive season. New Year’s Eve is particularly memorable, with spectacular fireworks at midnight to help you rock in the new year in style. Key events to look out for are the Pemuteran Bay Festival, Penglipuran Village Festival and, of course, New Year’s Eve celebrations. 

High season means high prices and pressing hordes in tightly-packed tourist areas; for a quieter experience, seek out more remote spots such as Nusa Penida and Pemuteran .

The shoulder season (April–June and September–October) is best for adventurous travelers

The shoulder season in Bali falls at either end of the dry season, when the weather is either improving after the rains or getting slowly wetter after the dry months. Things are quieter without the summertime crowds, and the weather is normally still dry enough for outdoor activities. However, the two-week Easter spring break can get very busy in tourist areas such as Kuta and Legian .

May marks the surfing season in full swing on the west and south coasts, and rafting, trekking and spelunking beckon adventure sports fans.

As rain showers in October are more frequent than in the dry summer months, plan to spend some time indoors visiting temples, museums and cultural institutions in Ubud , Denpasar , and other centers for Balinese culture. Top international events in October include the  Ubud Village Jazz Festival  and the  Ubud Writers and Readers Festival . 

The low season (January–March and November) is best for budget travelers

Bali’s low season coincides with the rainiest months of the year, and this can be an unpredictable time for outdoor activities. The crowds have decamped back home, and the island is returning to a more relaxed vibe, but there's still decent surf on the east coast at such legendary locations as Padang Padang, and the weather is still warm. Accommodation prices fall considerably, which is great news for budget travelers.

At the end of January or the start of February, Chinese New Year celebrations feature typical Balinese elements such as traditional percussion bands and dancers dressed as the mythological lion-like creature Barong. 

The festival of Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, moves with the lunar calendar but frequently falls in March. This is a culturally fascinating time to visit Bali, but after the colorful parades of ogoh-ogoh puppets the night before the festival, the Day of Silence itself can be a tricky time for visitors as everything closes, transport ceases, and nobody is allowed out on the streets.

Understanding the Balinese calendar

Note that religious festivals such as Galungan and Kuningan are scheduled according to the Balinese 210-day pawukon calendar. This means they happen roughly every seven months, according to the Western calendar. Dates for village festivals are not always set in stone either, and the timing of the Nyepi festival is dictated by the lunar saka calendar, meaning the date changes every year. If you’re planning a trip around a festival or event, check the precise dates before you book your flights.

To know what to expect if you travel to Bali in February, read our travel advice and weather info for February in Bali, with average temperatures, rainfall, and humidity, places to go, and travel tips, including what to wear.

Bali Weather in February: Overview

• Best Places to Visit in Bali in February

Low Season: Less Crowding and Cost

What to wear in february.

• Averages temperature range : 24–33°C (75–91°F)
• Rainfall : 270 mm (11 inches)
• Rainy days : 22
• Sunshine hours/day : 6
• Ocean temperature : 29°C (84°F)

February is again in the middle of the southern hemisphere summer and Bali's November–March wet season. Therefore, the weather in Bali in February is warm to hot, and still very rainy, though a bit less than January.

There is still enough sun (average 6 hours per day) to enjoy beaches between the downpours , which fall on 22/28 days on average.

Humidity is 10% less than in January, averaging 75% — though still high, it's a sign that the rainy season is slowing down. Again, Bali's February rain is usually very heavy, with tropical storms, though they are over quite quickly, often falling in the afternoon or evening.

The Best Places to Visit in Bali in February

February is NOT good for visiting Bali's islands or island hopping, doing most watersports, especially diving and snorkeling (the exception is Nusa Dua), or for adventurous outdoor activities, especially volcano/mountain climbing. If you really want to do those things, consider Thailand in February , which has ideal dry-season weather.

Avoid tropical downpours, strong ocean currents, and rough seas, making the most of the sunny times. With that advice in mind, here are Bali's best places to visit in February.

Discover real reviews of Highlights Travel Family 's best-rated service across trusted platforms.

1) Nusa Dua Beach — Bali's Best Rainy Season Spot

Nusa Dua is in a sheltered cove on the east of Bali's southern peninsula, and so it avoids the rainy-season problems of most beaches on Bali : murky seas with (dangerous) floating rubbish, trashy sand, and a general lack of holiday atmosphere. Nusa Dua enjoys clear water in February, and so it's the place those in the know flock to in Bali's wet season.

Chinese New Year may be a consideration in February, with people escaping the cold of China for a sunny holiday by the beach. Book early!

Watersports, including diving and snorkeling, can still be enjoyed for at least part of most days of the wet season at Nusa Dua, which is sunny and hot with clear enough waters when it's not raining. Nusa Dua is known for luxury resorts, honeymoons, family holidays, restaurants, shopping, and surfing.

Check the sample itineraries of Bali for 10 days .

2) Experience Balinese Culture and Cuisine in Ubud

Ubud, cultural capital of Bali, is good to visit even on a rainy day (and it almost never rains all day in Bali).

Ubud Royal Palace exhibits the island's royal family treasures, and there are charming architectural features and gardens to see. Catch a Balinese dance performance. See its art market, and take home a souvenir or several: silk scarves, light island shirts, statues, kites, and other arty items are sold.

Ubud is the best place to do a Balinese cooking class (an idea activity for escaping the rain) The cultural capital has Balinese chefs, who would show you the local market where fresh ingredients are bought, then show you how to make Bali cuisine. Cook and eat delicious island food to pass a rainy day. See The 10 Best Bali Foods and Dishes You Absolutely Have to Try .

Contact us for an Ubud tour and Bali cuisine experience.

3) Ubud Monkey Forest

Close to the town of Ubud is a hilly jungle full of macaques and small temples. Of course, it's better visited when the sun is out, but cloud or a little rain won't stop you or the monkeys. They are very bold and used to human interaction, but do follow the guidelines, so as not to come into conflict with the curious semi-wild creatures.

It could be a delightful family outing or a chance for the culture or nature lover to explore temples and jungle on well paved paths and steps.

4) View Tegallalang's Verdant Rice Terraces

The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are also close to Ubud (within 30 minutes), making them the best ones to visit in the middle of the wet season. Try to get there when the sun's out for stunning photography of steep, tiered, valley-side paddies dotted with palm trees. By February, the rice will be green and growing, as will the surrounding jungle. See Bali at its most verdant, and appreciate a harmony between the island agriculture and nature.

Bali's Jatiluwih World Heritage Rice Terraces are usually visitable too in February , but the roads out from Ubud may be affected by mudslides making the 2-hour journey longer/undoable.

For more, see Bali Rice Terraces: The Best 8 Rice Terraces on Bali .

5) Enjoy Awesome Waterfalls near Ubud

Ubud is near several waterfalls, and they're most awesome in the height of the wet season. After a downpour, head out of Ubud to see a cascade in the sun, and maybe a rainbow too! The most popular waterfall is Tibumana — a single vertical torrent plunging into a jungle pool, shallow enough at the edge to paddle in.

Tegenungan Waterfall, also about 20 minutes outside Ubud, is a mightier tumult, best photo in the evening as it's west-facing.

There is some pleasant weather to be enjoyed in Bali in February, but it is definitely a rain-affected off-season month with corresponding price reductions.

There may be some interest in Bali from China during Chinese New Year as a winter holiday beach getaway, COVID regulations permitting, but apart from that you should be able to enjoy quieter attractions, and the bargain prices will definitely be there.

Pack light, cool, quick-drying clothing.An umbrella will be handy to provide shelter from showers and sun. You may prefer a local poncho-like waterproof for walking around in the rain.

Bring some light longer clothing to cover arms and legs for Bali's Hindu temples and religious sites, which could also help to protect you from the sun and mosquitoes.

UV levels are high in February (when it's not cloudy), so pack some sun cream, a sunhat, and good sunglasses. Insect/mosquito repellent may be required , especially in evenings and rural areas.

Sandals and cool, breathable footwear are generally recommended. But, in February, deep in the wet season, the terraced-field, jungle, and hillside paths will be muddy, so bring good walking shoes that are easily cleaned with a good grip in the wet/mud .

Welcome to Bali, the enigmatic “Island of the Gods,” where the sun paints the sky in hues of warmth, the lush landscapes tell tales of ancient mystique and the vibrant culture dances to rhythms that echo through time. Planning your escapade to this tropical paradise is akin to unlocking a treasure chest, and as we embark on this odyssey, let’s dive deep into the ever-shifting seasons that define Bali’s charm. And for more invaluable tips, don’t miss our guide on Things I Wish I Know Before Visiting Bali .

Bali’s Seasonal Symphony: Dry Season vs Wet Season

1. Dry Season (April to October)

Imagine a canvas brushed with sunshine, skies that stretch into eternity and temperatures that hover in the Goldilocks zone Bali’s dry season is nothing short of perfection. From April to October, the island transforms into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a buffet of activities like swimming, diving, surfing, hiking and temple exploration. The only catch? Expect larger crowds and prices that might evoke a minor gasp.

2. Wet Season (November to March)

The term “wet season” might sound like a tropical warning, but in Bali, it’s more of a poetic interlude. From November to March, occasional rain showers bless the island, turning it into a lush, green wonderland. Don’t be deterred by the rain; it’s merely nature’s way of keeping things vibrant. With fewer crowds and budget-friendly prices, the wet season unveils a side of Bali that’s serenely beautiful.

Coinciding with European summer holidays and Indonesian school breaks, these peak months transform Bali into a whirlwind of activity. Brace yourself for larger crowds, especially in popular destinations like Seminyak and Canggu and ensure you book accommodations and activities well in advance to secure your front-row seat.

2. Shoulder Season (May, June, September)

For those who prefer the middle path, a balance between good weather, moderate crowds and pocket-friendly prices, May, June and September emerge as the unsung heroes of Bali’s seasonal saga. These shoulder months offer an enchanting equilibrium, where you can savor the best of Bali without being caught in the maddening rush.

Monthly Revelry and Breakdowns

Marked as the wettest month, January’s short rain bursts create lush greenery and an air of tranquility. This is the haven for budget-conscious travelers seeking the serenity that accompanies the tropical rain.

The monsoon season takes center stage, with heavier rainfall and occasional floods. It’s an invitation for surfers seeking challenging waves and seasoned travelers who dance to the rhythm of raindrops.

The rainy season persists, but with a silver lining. The rainfall begins to wane, signaling the transition into the dry season. This is the sweet spot for budget-conscious travelers and those craving a one-of-a-kind Balinese experience.

Picture perfect weather, minimal rainfall and crowds that won’t cramp your style. Dive into the crystal-clear waters, snorkel with the kaleidoscope of marine life and chase waterfalls without a stream of people around you.

As the sun turns up the heat, grab your surfboard because the surfing season is in full swing. Hike through the verdant landscapes, embark on bike rides and immerse yourself in the cultural festivities that paint Bali in vibrant hues.

Sunny skies, an invitation for beach lovers and the diving season kicks off with a splash. Dance under the stars at the Bali Spirit Festival or join the Sanur Village Festival for a dose of local culture and enchantment.

Brace yourself for peak season madness. The weather turns hot and sunny, the crowds swell, and prices soar to new heights. Dive into boat tours, water sports and temple visits amidst the carnival of chaos.

Hot and humid weather, occasionally cooled by short showers, creates the ideal backdrop for diving, snorkeling and a dash of nocturnal exploration. Embrace the Bali nightlife under the starry tropical sky.

As the sun begins to mellow, expect sunny skies, pleasant temperatures and a noticeable decline in crowds. This is your golden window for surfing, hiking and exploring the rich cultural tapestry of Bali.

The weather remains idyllic, with minimal rainfall and prices that are a tad friendlier compared to the peak season. Immerse yourself in yoga retreats, meditation workshops and wellness activities as Bali transitions into its quieter self.

Warm temperatures, sporadic rain showers and the beginning of the green season. Put on your trekking shoes, explore the expansive rice fields and immerse yourself in the tapestry of Balinese culture.

Rainy season officially arrives, accompanied by occasional downpours. However, Bali still beckons with a festive atmosphere, making Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations uniquely magical.

Festivals in Bali in February

1. galungan.

Based on their 210-day-long Balinese calendar, the Balinese celebrate the Galungan festival twice a year, once in February and then in August. To celebrate the victory of good over evil, or as it is known in Balinese as Dharma over Adharma, the festival of Galungan is celebrated. Galungan marks the beginning of 10 days in February, which is marked with a feast, prayers, and dance. The Balinese people believe that the spirits of their ancestors visited them on Earth during this time. As an expression of their gratitude towards their ancestors, they make sacrifices and offerings to them. Fried rice cakes, bananas, and meat (pigs, chicken) are placed on banana leaves and offered at temples. The streets are lined up with tall bamboo poles or penjor, which are decorated with colorful flowers, fruits, and leaves. The offerings to the spirits (of ancestors) are tied to the ends of these vendors. Devotees flock the temples and offer prayers and sacrifices in the name of the spirits.

The Kuningan Day marks the end of the 10-day festivities. The spirits are believed to return to their abode in heaven after visiting their families on Earth.

Travel Tips

• Light rain jackets, raincoats, and umbrellas are a must. Even though February is fairly dry, frequent drizzles are common. Raincoats, ponchos, rain jackets, and umbrellas are a must-have.
• Check for weather alerts from the Met Department frequently: Since it is a house for several volcanic regions, please make sure to check the weather and alerts from the Met Department before you head out somewhere in Bali.
• Carry a first-aid kit:   It is always better to be prepared with essential medicines in a first-aid kit for those unexpected situations.
• Sunscreen is a must: The weather is hot even in February. It is better to use sunscreen while heading out in the sun.
• Carry beachwear: You wouldn’t want to miss a chance to get wet and sporty while you are on the beaches of Bali, do you? So, please carry your beachwear so that you have no regrets later!
• Footwear: Hiking, trekking, or long walks are some of the activities that you may indulge in. So, plan your footwear according to the activities you have on your itinerary. It is better to carry water-resistant footwear in any case.

But in order to make the most of your trip, you’ll want to wise-up on the best  travel tips for Bali, and decide when to go.

• What's the best time to visit Bali?

High season

Rainy season, bali month-by-month, what's the best time to visit bali.

The months of April, May, September, or October is the best time to visit Bali at its prime, but enjoying some of the best accommodations in Bali at a fraction of the cost, for that is when airfares are also less expensive. Fewer visitors mean the entire island is all yours. Fewer visitors mean the entire island is all yours. Can you imagine that—peaceful beaches, quiet temples, and such easy roads to drive on?

Tropical Bali has fairly constant year-round temperatures. These average 27C in Bali’s coastal areas and the hills around Ubud , and 22C in the central volcanoes around Kintamani.  

When considering that all-important question — what's the best time to visit Bali? — bear in mind that Bali experiences an annual monsoon season. This brings rain, wind and intense humidity from October through to March. 

If you’re coming to Bali to enjoy adventure activities, note that mountain-climbing is unrewarding and dangerous during monsoon time. You’ll also be unable to access volcano hikes.

When pondering when’s the best time to visit Bali, you should also be aware of the peak tourist seasons. Resorts and guest houses become packed to the brim between mid-June and mid-September, over the Christmas–New Year period, and lso at Idul Fitry (Eid al-Fitri, usually May–June). 

At this time, prices rocket and rooms are usually booked for weeks in advance. 

Travel tip : want to avoid well-walked paths and sky-high prices? Arrange an itinerary during the shoulder months of May, June and September for largely-clear days that are lighter on rain, and your pocket.

In general, Indonesia's high season peak falls between June and August, coinciding with the super-sunny, sunny, super-warm, super-dry (you’ve guessed it...) dry season.  

Given that Bali — along with Lombok , and the gorgeous Gili Islands — is an Indonesian tourist hotspot at this time of year, you’ll want to weigh up the pros and cons of visiting Bali during peak season. 

• Opportunities for livelier socialising with more fellow travellers.
• Maximum access to tours and trips.
• Better conditions for hiking, diving, surfing and sun-lounging.  
• Higher prices.
• Needing to book further in advance. 
• Bigger crowds might spoil your idea of an idyllic island break.

Bali’s wet monsoon season typically lasts from October to March. At this time, you can expect high humidity and heavy rainfall, particularly in December and January. 

As a result, it’s easy to find good deals when visiting Bali — and Indonesia more generally — in the rainy season.  

For example, from October to March/April, you can travel with little advance booking and low prices.  

While you can expect frequent, heavy downpours, temperatures remain around 30 degrees. 

While it’s not wise to visit Bail in the rainy season if you want to hike, or spend a lot of time chilling out on the beach, it could be an option if you’re planning to focus on visiting temples, for example.

January is one of the wettest months in Bali, and brings heavy rainfall and high humidity.  

As a result, outdoor activities like trekking and volcano hikes are difficult. That said, experienced surfers and rafters might relish the extra thrills of wilder waves and waters. 

In addition, visiting Bali in January means you could experience Chinese New Year celebrations, though this sometimes falls in February.

Though February is still rainy season in Bali, it sees, on average, less rain than January.

As a result of the wind and waves, south-west destinations like Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu can be great for experienced surfers and paragliders. 

Come March, rainfall decreases more noticeably, and Bali's weather becomes more moderate, though temperatures remain warm, with average highs of 30 degrees Celsius.  

However, the weather can still be unpredictable, so expect occasional showers. 

March is a great time for culture vultures to visit Bali, with Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, kicking off at the end of March or in early April.

All change! As Bali transitions between the wet and dry seasons, April sees the island experience around a third of the rainfall as March.

This makes April a great time to visit Bali to appreciate the island’s natural attractions at their lushest. 

While Easter sees an influx of travellers, April remains a quieter month to visit than the upcoming summer peak.

May marks the end of the wet season in Bali. While temperatures can rise during this period — especially in urban areas — humidity levels are usually lower than those you’ll experience in the rainy season.  

May is an ideal time to dive in Bali, and also great for enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and biking.

Though Bali’s peak high season is beckoning, it’s not fully in swing in June. As for the weather, expect little rain, clear skies, and super-sunny days. That's why this is the best time to visit Bali.

With consistent surf, June is also the ideal time for water-sports’ lovers to visit Bali. 

If that wasn’t enough temptation, Bali Arts Festival runs from June to mid-July.

With consistently warm, sunny weather, July heralds Bali’s peak high season. 

Along with soaring visitor numbers (and prices!), be aware that temperatures can also soar in July, especially in urban areas. 

If you’ve come to party, though, July might be the best month for you to visit Bali. This month also sees the opening of the Bali Kite Festival. 

Love diving? Between July and October, the waters around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida offer the best chance most people will ever have of spotting a mola mola (oceanic sunfish), one of the world's most elusive and startling underwater creatures.

Certainly the busiest month to visit Bali, August sees beach party action ramp up further, and a flurry of festivals.

These include Indonesia’s independence day, which is celebrated on 17th August.  

Love exploring rural locations and local culture? August kicks off clove harvest season, so you might get to see death-defying pickers on rickety ladders plucking buds before they flower.

September is one of the best months to visit Bali. Post peak-season bustle, but still largely dry and sunny, there’s arguably no better time to enjoy Bali’s beautiful outdoors. 

September also sees Bali host the Taman Ujung Festival, and the Lovina Festival.

Though the start of the rainy season, October offers cheaper accommodation and sees fewer crowds, while being outside peak downpour time.

Just be prepared to have back-up ideas for your beach day plans.  

October also sees Bali host a number of festivals, among them the Nusa Penida Festival, Uluwatu Festival and Nusa Dua Festival.

As Bali truly transitions between the dry and wet seasons, November brings increased rainfall, cooler temperatures, and volcano trekking is likely to be off the table. 

As a result, November is a good time to visit Bali to relax, visit museums and enjoy rock bottom room rates. 

With Tumpek Wayan celebrated in November, it’s also a top time to take-in the island’s culture. This scared Hindu festival sees puppeteers come to together to perform purification rites.

In addition, the Pemuteran Bay festival is due to be held on 11th-13th November 2023.

At once rainy season, and a mini high season, December sees Bali visited by torrents of rain and visitors.  

As for some of the big events held in December, the week-long Pandawa Beach Festival is usually held in Kutuh Village in mid-December.

Meanwhile, New Year’s Eve sees remarkable firework displays all over the island.

Note that poor visibility sees dive centres wind down activities from December to March.

Best Time to Visit Bali (2024 Guide)

10/04/2023 by Guest Blogger 1 Comment

This guest post is by Haley, a Bali-based travel blogger.

If you’re wondering about the best time to visit Bali, Indonesia, you’ve come to the right place. 

This tropical paradise offers something for everyone, no matter the season. But knowing when to go can make all the difference between a sun-soaked holiday and a rain-drenched adventure . 

As someone who lives in Bali year-round as a digital nomad, I’ve experienced every season this island has to offer. From the bustling beach clubs and ideal surfing conditions in the dry season to the serene rice terraces and rushing waterfalls in the rainy months, Bali never ceases to amaze. 

So, whether you’re a solo female traveler , planning a girls’ trip, or looking for a romantic getaway , this guide is your ultimate resource. We’ll dive into the best and worst months to visit Bali, the ideal times for various activities, and even break it down by destination. 

Let’s get started and find out the best time to go to Bali for you!

Table of Contents

When is the Best Time to Visit Bali?

When is the best time to go to Bali?  For the most consistently sunny weather and temperatures around 27-30°C (81-86°F), visit Bali between June and September. While the dry season technically runs from April to October, the shoulder months can bring a bit of variable weather, which may not be ideal for your first trip to the Island of Gods. 

For the last two Septembers, I’ve experienced cloudy mornings with sunny afternoons beginning in the middle of the month with some rain starting towards the end of September. So keep this in mind when planning your Bali trip .

During these best months to visit Bali, I spend my time sipping coconuts watching the sun go down in Canggu’s La Brisa, beach hopping in Uluwatu (my favourite is Bingin Beach!) and taking trips to the Gili and Nusa Islands since this is when the ferry crossing is the calmest.

If you are a surfer, like my husband, he loves the crystal clear waters and consistent waves that the dry season in Bali brings.

When is the Worst Time to Visit Bali?

Now, I wouldn’t say there’s a “worst” time to visit Bali, but if you’re not into rain and high humidity, you might want to steer clear of the rainy season, which runs from November to April. During these months, you can expect short but intense bursts of rain, usually in the late afternoon or evening. 

I remember one December, I was caught in a downpour so intense it felt like the sky had opened up. I was in Ubud with the family and we had to stand in 6 inches of water under a makeshift roof to wait it out until we could hop on our scooters again. 

But hey, the rain usually clears up quickly, and you’ll find fewer tourists around, which can be a plus.

So, if you’re planning your first trip and you want that idyllic Bali experience , maybe save it for the dry season. But if you’re an off-the-beaten-path kind of traveler, the rainy season has its own unique charm. I thoroughly enjoyed my cozy Sidemen Valley hotel retreat in the wet season while watching the rain over the lush rice terraces. Rain doesn’t put a damper on the beauty of Capella Ubud , either. You win some, you lose some.

Dry Season in Bali

The dry season in Bali, running from May to October, is the island at its best—think clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and a whole lot of outdoor activities to enjoy, like surfing and scuba diving. 

Whether you’re into beach bumming along Bali’s picturesque coastline, temple hopping in East Bali, or Canggu cafe crawling , this is the time to do it all.

This is also a great time to avoid soggy and muddy conditions in Ubud’s rice terraces, but try to time your visit around when the terraces will be at its peak greenness (either March or October). Otherwise, it will be short stubby dried-out rice fields for you.

Bali Dry Season Months at a Glance

May: Average Temp 28°C. May kicks off the dry season with minimal rain and lots of sun. It’s a great month to explore Bali’s cultural sites like Tanah Lot without the crowds. This is also the best time to see Manta Rays off Nusa Penida.

June: Average Temp 27°C. Virtually no rain and sun all day make June ideal for beach activities, surfing and scuba diving. It’s also the start of the high tourist season, so book accommodations in advance.

July: Average Temp 26°C. July is the sunniest month in Bali, perfect for outdoor adventures like hiking Mount Batur. However, it’s also peak tourist season, so expect some crowds in major destinations like Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu and Ubud.

August: Average Temp 26°C. With minimal rain, August is great for surfing and other water sports. My husband loves the consistent easy to intermediate waves this month brings, especially in spots like Uluwatu.

September: Average Temp 27°C. September offers occasional rain but is still predominantly sunny. It’s a good time to visit Bali for those looking to avoid the peak season crowds but still enjoy great weather. Try to visit in the first half of the month.

October: Average Temp 28°C. October sees some rain, but it’s less crowded. If you’re into diving, this is a good month for it, as the waters are still clear.

Regardless of when you go, you’ll want to bring something for potential rain and warm temperatures. Here’s our perfect Bali packing list.

Best Things to Do in Bali During Dry Season

This is the time to live your best Bali life. Hit up the beach clubs in Seminyak, or take a day trip to the Nusa Islands . 

I personally love spending my dry season days in Uluwatu, beach hopping and catching those epic sunsets.

Try one of these fun organized day tours during Bali’s dry season:

• Mount Batur Sunrise Hike & Hot Springs
• Kecak Fire Dance in Uluwatu
• Uluwatu & Tanah Lot Sunset Tour
• Waterfall, Rice Terraces & Monkey Forest Tour
• Swim with Manta Rays in Nusa Penida

My Experience during Dry Season in Bali

I’ve spent several dry seasons in Bali, and they all provide a consistently sunny experience. Of course, nothing is ever perfect and we have experienced a freak 5 days of solid rain in the middle of August one year, but this is pretty rare in the dry season.

Water conditions during the dry season are always more clear and pleasant, too. 

I base myself in Canggu, so spending dry season cafe hopping and enjoying sunset walks along Canggu Beach are my everyday activities. But, for something special, I will head to Nusa Lembongan for a weekend relaxation on Jungutbatu Beach. 

Or for something more adventurous, I’ll rent a scooter and visit all the top attractions on Nusa Penida like Diamond Beach, Angel’s Billabong and Kelingking (Dinosaur) Beach. 

If you are particularly interested in spotting manta rays off the island, the best months to visit Bali are between April and May.

Pros & Cons of Visiting Bali in Dry Season

1. Consistent Sunny Weather

2. Great for Outdoor Activities

3. Less Humidity

4. Vibrant Nightlife

5. Easier Travel Between Islands

1. More Expensive

2. Crowded Tourist Spots

3. Limited Availability for Accommodations

4. Higher UV Index

5. Some Beaches May Be Overcrowded

Rainy Season in Bali

Rainy season in Bali spans from November to April. While you might encounter more rain and humidity, don’t write off these months just yet. The island takes on a lush, almost mystical vibe, and you’ll find fewer crowds at popular tourist spots. 

This is when to visit Bali if you want a quintessential “Eat, Pray, Love” experience.

Bali Rainy Season Months at a Glance

November: Average Temp 32°C. November is the start of the rainy season, but the rain usually comes in short bursts, often at night with a clouds in the morning. It’s a good month for indoor activities like spa visits and cooking classes. 

November is also the hottest month in Bali with high humidity.

December: Average Temp 31°C. December sees more consistent rain, usually in the late afternoon or evening. It may not be an ideal month for a Bali Honeymoon , but I’ve found that mornings are often clear, making it a good time for early excursions like visiting the waterfalls around Ubud (watch out for muddy conditions). 

December is also the high season due to Christmas holidays, so expect a peak in hotel prices around this time. 

January: Average Temp 31°C. January is one of the wettest months with the heaviest rain, but don’t let that deter you. The island is lush and green, and the rice terraces in Ubud are at their peak.

February: Average Temp 31°C. Similar to January, expect frequent rain. However, it’s a great month for river rafting, as the water levels are high.

March: Average Temp 28°C. March sees a decrease in rain but still has its wet days. It’s a transitional month, so you’ll get a mix of both dry and wet days. Combined with February, March is one of the cheapest times to visit Bali.

April: Average Temp 28°C. April is the tail end of the rainy season, with fewer rainy days and more sun. It’s a good month for water activities as the sea conditions start to improve. This is also a great month to go to Bali if you want to visit the waterfalls.

Best Things to Do in Bali During Rainy Season

Rainy season is the perfect time for indoor activities and exploring Bali’s lush landscapes. Think yoga retreats in Ubud, museum visits in Denpasar, or even taking a Balinese cooking class. 

I love hitting up the local markets during this time since fewer crowds mean a more authentic experience.

Ideal Bali Wet Season Activities:

• Ubud Palace Legong Dance
• Ubud Silver Jewelry Making Class
• Ayung River Rafting
• Cooking Class in a Local Village

My Experience during Rainy Season in Bali

I’ve spent a few rainy seasons in Bali, and it’s a different kind of magic. Because of fewer crowds (except around Christmas), the island breathes out a sigh and becomes a more relaxed, lush oasis. 

Yes, you  will undoubtedly need a rain poncho and weather proof clothing and footwear during this time since rain can be expected every day. From experience, you can expect rain for a couple hours every afternoon with a mix of sun and cloud for the remainder of the day. 

Keep in mind that weather moves very quickly here, so it can be sunny one minute and absolutely downpouring the next. Always keep your rain poncho on you.

My favorite destination during the wet season in Bali is Sidemen Valley and the entire East Bali region. Perfect for spa days and sipping on a tea overlooking the lush rice terraces.

On the down side, this is when you will start to see garbage in the water and on the beaches, especially in south Bali, which can take away from that island paradise feel.

Pros & Cons of Visiting Bali in Rainy Season

1. Fewer Crowds

2. Lower Prices

3. Lush Scenery

4. Great for Indoor Activities

5. Authentic Local Experience

1. Unpredictable Weather

2. Limited Outdoor Activities

3. High Humidity

4. Muddy Conditions in Some Areas

5. Sea Conditions Not Ideal for Water Sports

Bali at Christmas

So, is Bali good at Christmas? That’s a hard question for me to answer. Coming from a magical white snowy Christmas in my home country of Canada, Bali just provides something completely different at this time of year. 

For those wanting to escape to a sunny destination, Bali is a great spot. Do expect higher tourist crowds and peak hotel prices during this time, though. Christmas activities are pretty minimal on the island during this time, with a few small christmas trees and decorations adorning cafes and some fireworks on New Years Eve.

How hot is Bali at Christmas? Well, you can expect high humidity, with average daily temperatures of 31°C. 

Best Time to Visit Bali by Destination

Bali is more than just a single experience; each destination on the island offers something unique. Here’s a breakdown of the best times to visit some of the most popular spots.

Best Time to Visit Ubud

Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali, known for its lush rice terraces, yoga retreats and spiritual vibes. The best time to visit is during the dry season, especially if you’re keen on outdoor activities like hiking to waterfalls and visiting temples. 

For the greenest rice fields, visit Ubud between March and April at the tailend of Bali’s rainy season. 

Best Time to Visit Uluwatu

Uluwatu is all about the beaches and the cliffside temples. 

Dry season is prime time here, especially if you’re into surfing, with Uluwatu Beach and Padang Padang Beach being the epicenter of activity. 

But even if you’re not a surfer, the weather from June to September is ideal for beach visits for crystal clear conditions.

Best Time to Visit Canggu & Seminyak

Canggu and Seminyak are the go-to spots for beach clubs, trendy cafes, and vibrant nightlife. Dry season, particularly from June to September, is when these areas are at their liveliest. You can even dance on the beach into the wee hours of the morning at Sand Bar in Canggu. 

I love spending the sunset hours sipping a coconut at La Brisa in Canggu during these months or enjoying a beach walk.

Best Time to Visit the Nusa Penida & Nusa Lembongan

These smaller islands off the coast of Bali are best visited during the dry season. The sea conditions are calmer, making it a more pleasant crossing from Bali’s mainland to Nusa Penida and to hop between islands. 

I particularly love dry season (May-October) on the Nusa Islands for snorkelling in clear conditions and swimming with the manta rays.

Final Thoughts on the Best Time to Go to Bali

So, when is the best time to visit Bali, Indonesia? The answer really depends on what you’re looking for. If it’s sunny beaches, vibrant nightlife, and outdoor adventures, then the dry season from May to October is your best bet. 

But if you’re into lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and a more laid-back vibe, the rainy season has its own unique charm.

In my years of living here, I’ve found that each season offers something special. Whether it’s beach hopping in Uluwatu during the dry months or enjoying the serene rice terraces in Ubud during the rainy season, Bali never disappoints.

Pack your bags and come find out for yourself. No matter when you decide to visit, Bali is always a good idea.

On the second day of our sightseeing tour, we witnessed the Barong and Keris Dance, traditional Balinese Batik Stone Carving and Art villages and the beautiful Tirta Empul Temple to name a few all of which reflected the rich culture of Bali.

Later in the day, we went on the coffee farm plantations and tasted many varieties of tea and coffee. Each of the favours was very unique and stimulating. It was indeed a great experience to see the making of the most expensive coffee in the world. Then we proceeded with the Kintamani tour which was one of our best highlights to our honeymoon trip to Bali in February. We thoroughly loved the experience of watching the semi-active volcano. The attractive Mount Batur surrounds the 13-square kilometre stunning Batur caldera lake which is a popular fishing spot.

5. Stunning Monkey Forest & Ubud Market

Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest is home to hundreds of Balinese long-tailed monkey in their natural habitat.

Our Hotels In Bali

In Ubud, we stayed at Gino Feruci Villa, a 4-star Ubud Villa. The room here was spacious with the facility of a private pool. Lamborgan Island was our point of stay in Bali hai cruises. The internal ambience was so pleasing with excellent hospitality by the staff. In Denpasar we stayed at Park Regis, Studio room. The location of the hotel was excellent and our overall stay was quite comforting.

Food In Bali

Since my wife and I are hardcore vegetarians it was a bit problematic for us to find food in Bali. We heard about this restaurant called “Queens of India” and decided to head there. It actually provides a variety of hardcore delicious Indian cuisine. The restaurant had an absolutely spectacular service and good presentation.

Bali food is usually prepared with a variety of spices, mixed with fresh vegetables, meat and fish. Pisang Goreng, Mie Goreng, Nasi Goreng and Sate are some of the must-try food when in Bali.

I believe that travel is one of the best ways to learn about the world and about yourself. When you travel, you’re forced to step outside of your comfort zone and experience new things. You learn about different cultures, different religions, and different ways of life. You also learn about yourself, your strengths, and your weaknesses.

Travel can also be a great way to make new friends. When you’re traveling, you’re surrounded by people from all over the world, and you’re all in the same boat. You’re all there to explore and experience new things, and that can create a bond between people.

Best Time to Visit Bali: For Weather, Surfing, Sightseeing & More

By: Author Taylor Lorenz

Posted on Last updated: 10/17/2023

Bali is a hugely popular vacation destination for to its glorious beaches, beautiful landscape, and excellent range of excursions, activities, and things to do.

As exciting as it is to travel, it can be a challenge to figure out the ideal times to go to exotic destinations, especially places like Bali which don’t have 4 distinct seasons.

In this guide, we break down the best time to visit Bali based on this tropical island’s weather, surfing, sightseeing, to avoid crowds and even cultural festivals. There’s never really a bad time to plan a Bali vacation for, but this breakdown helps you to plan the best time to visit for your wants and needs as a traveller.

Table of Contents

Best Time of Year to Visit Bali

There’s so much to consider when you’re planning a big trip so keep reading to find out more about the best time of year to go to Bali depending on the weather, your budget, crowds, surfing, activities, and the wet and dry seasons.

For Weather

Eight degrees south of the equator, Bali is home to a tropical climate, which makes it warm and humid all through the year. The Bali seasons consist of the wet season (aka the rainy season) and the dry season.

In terms of temperatures, Bali weather is very consistent all year round. The average high throughout the year never falls lower than 29.6°C, which is in August. The highest average temperature is 34.4°C, which is in April. So, whatever time of year you go, you can expect hot weather in Bali. 

The month with the highest average rainy days is January with 27 wet days, and the driest months are July and August, with an average of 4 wet days each.

If you’re planning on jumping on a scooter or going into the mountains around Ubud and Munduk , don’t forget to pack a sweater as evenings can get cool!

For Budget Conscious Travellers

The cheapest time to visit Bali is in February, during the wet season. Not only will you save money on flights, but you’ll also save on accommodation and purchases while you’re there.

The wet season is a cost-effective time to travel to Bali because there will be fewer tourists, the shoulder seasons are not only cheaper but have decent weather too.

Christmas and New Year are two of the most expensive times to travel to Bali because it’s a popular destination for Australians who are on Christmas break. So, if you want to keep your budget low, avoid this period.

Other peak vacation times are during school holidays. School holidays in North America and Europe typically break from mid-July to early September, mid-February, late October, and during Christmas and Easter, making it a popular time for North Americans and Europeans to visit Asia in general. While Australians who frequently visit Bali for holidays have their longest break over Christmas and New Year’s. This can be a super expensive time to travel.

To Avoid Crowds

Bali is a popular destination for Australians and New Zealanders as Bali isn’t far. It’s common for Australian tourists to go to Bali in December for Christmas, and also for ‘schoolies week’, which is when students who are graduating go on a vacation after their final exams, which usually falls in late November and early December.

Also, the shoulder seasons are the months before and after the Bali high season (April, May, September, and October) and this can be the best time to travel to Bali. You may get a few more rain showers than you’d hoped for, but there will be far fewer crowds. Luckily, rain is not always guaranteed as it’s not uncommon for dry weather to stick around longer than expected.

For Bali Sightseeing & Outdoor Activities

Another hugely popular attraction in Bali is the Sacred Monkey Forest. This forest is the natural habitat of the Balinese long-tailed monkey and is an absolute must on your Bali itinerary, but be aware that it can get packed with tourists in the high season.

Visiting Bali wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Mount Batur, an active volcano. The most popular time to visit this top attraction is May – July, before the monsoon winds.

The is a much-loved island of Nusa Penida , one of Bali’s most popular days trips, is just off the coast of Bali and is open to tourists all year. It’s best visited between April and September (but not June – the waves can be really high then and sometimes the harbour will close).

If you love exploring the waters, don’t miss diving in Bali. There’s definitely a best time to go diving, which is as the seasons transition, so in October or April. That’s because the waters will be the calmest. We don’t recommend diving in the monsoon (October-April) season because visibility can be really poor but that doesn’t mean that diving is not still available.

For Surfing

A legendary location for catching waves, you can surf in Bali at all times of the year. 

That said, the best time to surf on the east coast of Bali in places such as Uluwatu , Kuta , and Canggu , is between November and early March. The best time to surf on the west coast of Bali, especially for beginners, is May – September because of the off-shore wind. 

If you’re a beginner, be aware that Bali beaches are packed with surfers from June until September because it’s the dry season, so it might be best to build your confidence on the board before June and after September.

For Festivals & Events

If you’re planning to go to Bali in March, you really need to be aware of Nyepi, a Balinese ‘Day of Silence’ that falls on 25th March. Visiting at this time can be good or bad, depending on what you like. 

It can be a fascinating experience to see Nyepi – the whole island shuts down, shops close, people don’t even light candles in their homes, and there won’t be any cars on the roads, not even in tourist hotspots like Kuta. Even the airport closes! However, if you want an action-packed vacation, visiting during this day might be disappointing as you won’t be able to take part in any outdoor activities or travel.

Some of the most popular events in the province are held in the summer, such as Bali Arts Festival which is in June and Bali Kite festival which is in July. This can be a great time to visit and enjoy these exciting events with both locals and tourists.

For a Yoga Retreat

Yoga retreats in Bali are available year-round. Travel during the rainy, off-season from January-April and you just may score yourself a nice deal on a retreat and airfare. I’ve lived in Bali during this season multiple times and rainy season does not guarantee rain, there are still plenty, and in my case, more sunny days than there are rainy.

Best Season to Visit Bali

Bali has two distinct seasons, the dry season and the wet season, which, you guessed it, means that the dry season is dry and the wet season is wet and rainy!

Bali Dry Season

Bali’s dry season (April – September) is the island’s high season, and you can expect warm weather and low rainfall.

The weather in Bali is always warm but, in this period, you can expect temperatures of around 28°C-32°C and lots of sunshine.

This is the most comfortable of the Bali seasons to see the true beauty of the area and explore. We would say that the dry season is the best time to visit Bali, but be aware that it can still rain in the dry season!

Bali Wet Season

During the wet season, there’s an average of 1,233mm of rain. Seriously! While there’s lots of rain in the wet season, you can still expect warm temperatures and humidity. This is the low season and the average temperature in the rainy season is 27°C.

It doesn’t rain all day every day in the rainy season. In fact, it doesn’t even rain every day, or it may just rain in the morning and evening. But, when it does, it can be absolutely torrential.

The rainy season isn’t necessarily a bad time to visit Bali; it’s cheaper, quieter, and still offers brilliant activities and beaches. As long as you’re prepared for the potential of heavy rain that typically only lasts an hour or two, you should be absolutely fine.

When is the best time to go to Bali?

The best season to go to Bali is definitely the dry season but, more specifically, we think the best month to go to Bali is September.

In September, the weather is warm and the rainfall is low. It’s also just on the edge of the Bali peak season which means airfares, hotel prices, and activity costs have typically dropped.

If you can’t go to Bali in September, other times during the dry season but outside of the main peak times can be good options, such as May. All of these times are great for surfing, and the island will be less crowded.

While we say that September is the best month to visit Bali, it really does depend on your personal preferences, and of course time that works for you.

We hope this travel guide has helped you plan your trip. Have a great time in Bali!

Best Time to Visit Bali

Many people wonder when they should go to Bali when arranging their tropical vacation. Bali is a tropical paradise less than 1,000 kilometers south of the equator, noted for its bright and hot weather, spectacular surf, and numerous activities. We’ve put together this complete guide to the best time to visit Bali to help you make the most of your trip.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Bali?

Aside from the weather and activities, the cost is an important element to consider while arranging a trip to Bali. Costs for lodging, transportation, and activities might vary greatly depending on the season. Prices are greater and crowds are heavier during the dry season, which is also the peak season. The wet season, on the other hand, may offer lower pricing and fewer travelers, but the rain and humidity may not be suitable for everyone. It’s wise to assess your priorities and money before deciding on the best time to visit Bali.

Climate and Weather

Bali has a tropical monsoon climate with two distinct seasons: the dry season (May to September) and the wet season (October to April) (October to April). Despite being wetter, the monsoon season still has sunny spells throughout the day, and the water temperature stays comfortable all year.

The dry season is ideal for sunbathing, hiking, and enjoying the various tropical attractions on the island. This is also the island’s peak season, which means higher pricing and more people, so expect crowds. The Bali Arts Festival , Bali Kites Festival, Nusa Dua Festival, and Indonesia Independence Day all take place during the dry season.

If you want to see rain, waterfalls, and fantastic surf, go during the wet season. During this season, the island receives a tremendous amount of rain, making it extremely humid but also less popular and less expensive. If you want to escape crowds or get a good deal on clothing, the wet season is the time to go. During this season, the Nyepi festival takes place, which is a national day of quiet in which the entire island, including the airport, shuts down for religious reasons.

Surfers should visit Bali during the dry season (May to October), when the western half of the island has some of the best surfing waves in the world.

Humidity and Temperature

Bali has a high humidity level of 70-75% on average. The daytime temperature in the south of Bali ranges from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius, but the humidity makes it feel much hotter. Temperatures in the mountains range from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius, with temperatures decreasing dramatically at night.

Bali Weather Month-by-Month

Based on the aforementioned considerations, the optimum time to visit Bali is between April and October, when the island is in its dry season. This is when there will be little rain or humidity, and the weather will be ideal for sunbathing, hiking, and experiencing the island’s many tropical attractions. Expect higher costs and more tourists throughout this period.

When to go to Bali depends on your needs and the activities you intend to conduct. Whether you’re searching for amazing surf, sunbathing, partying, or hiking, Bali has something to offer year-round. Just make sure to check the weather and events calendar before packing.
