Classic Bali & Lombok

Gede was an excellent tour guide, his knowledge of all the local sights was brilliant. Things that could be improved on the tour: The accommodation was always located by really busy roads and despite earplugs the noise was disturbing and you didn't get much sleep. When you have early morning checkouts this can be fatiguing. The ferry to Lombok was not the best experience, to have to sit on the floor for 4-5 hrs was not really acceptable. I think G Adventures should charge a bit more and offer the fast boat. Maybe some of the traditional village tours could be swapped for other activities, but I appreciate people that joined for the Lombok tour hadn't seen the Bali villages. Everything else was well organised and ran smoothly.

Bali Experience

This was the most amazing vacation of my life! The care, attention and program provided with the best professionals and schedule that can be, is unbelievable to know it exists! Thank you for making this happen and keep on doing the same amazing experience! Can’t wait to travel with you again!

Wanderlands Bali - 8 Days

Kann die Tour nur weiterempfehlen. Ist perfekt für Leute, die entweder nur ein paar Tage in Indonesien verbringen oder sich einen groben Überblick über Bali und die umliegenden Inseln zu schaffen. Alles ist durchgeplant, jedoch hat man auch relativ viel Freizeit. Ich hätte mir keinen besseren Guide als Zio vorstellen können. Er sorgt sich um jeden und versucht alle immer mit einzubinden. Schön fand ich, dass ich ihn nicht nur als Guide sondern auch persönlich kennenlernen durfte.

Bali Bucket List Original 10 Day Tour

I booked this for my birthday and I was not disappointed at all! This is a great tour and the way that it is set up was perfect. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to book their boutique tour if the tour dates would have aligned with my schedule. Not that there was anything wrong with this one, I’m just bougie 🤷🏾‍♀️. If you’re on the fence, book it. If you have the funds book the same companies boutique tour 😊

Classic Bali

I loved the Classic Bali tour. Learned lots and had fun.

Bali Intro 9 Days

I Had the best time travelling with intro travel would highly recommend the tour to all my friends who wish to travel. The tour leader “Anna “ was so hopeful always willing to make our time the best.

Bali One Life Adventures - 12 Days

That was amazing! Special thanks to our guides Stuart and Josh.

Bali Experience 12 Day

Fantastic tour with an incredible perfect tour guide Vitorio

Wanderlands Bali & Lombok - 13 Days

It was a very nice experience to do the tour with wonderlands in Bali! I had a lot of fun:) Especially our group leader Stacia was so nice and always there for us! She always informed us very well and I felt that I was in good hands:) I would definitely do it again and would be very happy if there are more tours in the future!!

Bali 9 Day/ 8 Night Group Tour | ULTIMATE

If you want to experience Bali then this is such a good way to see all the best bits! Aggy was our tour guide, she is one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. Always attentive, caring and put so much effort into the group. All of the activities that we did were amazing, particularly the mountain climb! It was unreal! The places we stayed were good, always were hotels with breakfast included. I’d fully recommend doing this tour if you want to experience Bali in a short period. I stayed on in Bali after the tour and Aggy sorted my onward travel and waited for us all to depart safely. On the other hand, this was my second Ultimate tour and I was very surprised when she had to stay in separate accommodation. Especially as it could be about 15/30minutes away. There should be some more money in her budget to stay in the same accommodation just in case there was anything to happen. Overall, sun was out and couldn’t complain!

Bali: Beaches & Boat Rides

It was my first time using GA adventures and I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip. I felt all the worry and organisation was taken out of our hands due to the well planned out trip! We really got to discover a huge variety, from homestays in a local village to paradise in gili T. Fidel was an outstanding tour guide who did everything to ensure we had a amazing time! He even waited in the hotel lobby at 2am to ensure mountain tekkers set off on time. He went above and beyond. I do have to add you do need a fair amount of money for additional spends. Although bali is extremely well priced it does mount when you are always on the move! Plus some of the places we were recommended for lunch/dinners were not always the cheapest option.

3 Days Experience Nusa Penida Island

The tour was great! I was especially impressed with the tour guide and the driver who were very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and considerate of everything I needed on tour. They went over and above to make sure the three days were as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Some roads however; are very rough and narrow along cliffsides, so I wouldn't recommend taking your own car or scooter. This island is just beginning to develop it's tourism, and the support of an expert local driver and guide; in an air conditioned comfort with wifi; makes for a smooth, safe and secure trip. Both my driver and tour guide were such genuinely lovely people and were an absolute wealth of knowledge about everything relating to Nusa Pineda, Bali and Indonesia. I'm very lucky to have come across this tour at the beginning of my trip. Thanks to the wonderful Tripmate team - the tone was set for a very enjoyable Bali holiday.

Wake Up in Bali

Thoroughly enjoyed our Bali trip. Very happy with Patra Jasa Bali resort. Breakfast was great and the staff very helpful/courteous. Panorama did an excellent job in organizing the 5 included tours. It was a cultural immersion trip covering many aspects of Balinese religion, lifestyle, culture, arts and architecture.

Discover Lombok

Discover Lombok was a fabulous tour. Fascinating island not overrun with tourists. Local guide Ell was great, being from Lombok himself his knowledge/local insights were amazing and really added to the trip. The quiet east coast was stunning. Highly recommend this trip!

Bali Intro 12 Day

The tour was great. There was amazing accommodation, and lots of activities throughout the trip, as well as more optional activities if we wanted. Hendri, our tour guide did an amazing job of entertaining the group whilst keeping us safe and on time. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without his joyful attitude. We went to some amazing places for food, and met so many fantastic people.

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. 

Don’t leave home without: Lonely Planet Indonesia (Country Guide)

Table of Contents

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.

The Ultimate Bali Itinerary: How To Plan The Perfect Trip To Bali

Planning a trip to Indonesia and looking for the best Bali itinerary? Whether you’re only spending 5 days, one week, 10 days, or two full weeks, I guarantee this Bali trip travel guide will be extremely helpful!

Bali is truly one of my favorite destinations in the world and a place I’ve called home several times. But planning a trip to Bali can be a bit intimidating as there really are so many amazing places to explore!

There’s no need to wonder why Bali has become one of the world’s most visited and popular vacation hotspots. It has jaw-dropping landscapes, lush rice terraces, stunning beaches, serene temples, cute monkeys, scenic waterfalls, wild nightlife, and unforgettable sunsets.

Bali really does have a little something for everybody, and I guarantee that if you follow this Bali travel itinerary, you will fall in love with this island just as much as I have!

While tourism in Bali has exploded in recent years due to the popularity of Instagram, it definitely lives up to the hype because there is a LOT more to this island than what you see on social media. Don’t let the annoying Bali IG couples + IG influencers deter you from planning a trip here because it is a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia!

Tip: Add something unique to your Bali travel plan by choosing to go glamping in Bali  instead of staying at a hotel.

Check out my Instagram page  for more holiday inspiration!

Whether you’re only spending a few days, two weeks, or even an entire month, this Bali Itinerary guide will go into loads of detail about what to expect about visiting this island, the best things to do, what to pack for Bali, when to go, insider travel tips, and loads more.  

So without further ado, let’s get started!

WHAT ARE THE BEST MONTHS TO VISIT BALI?

Bali is an incredible destination to visit year-round, and if you’ve only got limited time off work, I would say book that ticket no matter what! Being located in Southeast Asia, the weather in Bali is exceptionally tropical, so you can expect hot and humid temperatures pretty much every day, but there are two main seasons – the wet and dry months.

The rainy season in Bali is from October to April, and the dry season is between May – September.

That said, traveling to Bali during the rainy season is NOT an issue. I LIVED in Bali in December & January (known as the wettest months of the year), and I barely even noticed the rain.

Yes, some days were worse than others, but more often than not – every day was beautifully sunny blue skies and perfect beach weather.

According to Bali.com, “ The best time to come to Bali is April, May, June and September, just before and just after high season. It’s still the dry season, it’s slightly less humid, and room prices and villa rentals can be 30-50% cheaper than during high season. Many shops offer sales and promotions, restaurants are less crowded in those mid-season months, and in general, Bali is a bit more relaxed. October is not too bad either, still much less rain than November (usually, check the rainfall chart).”

I agree with that statement for sure, but traveling to Bali during Christmas time & New Year’s Eve can be an incredible experience. I spent Christmas Day lounging at a day club and absolutely loved it!  

IS BALI A DANGEROUS PLACE TO VISIT?

Absolutely not! Bali is completely safe to visit, and I’ve honestly never felt like I was in any danger while there. While just like a vacation to anywhere in the world, you want to make sure you’re traveling wisely and acting responsibly.

The only dangerous or unsafe behavior I’ve heard of is from “motorcycle thieves or purse-snatchers.” These are people that will try and grab purses or backpacks from people while riding on the back of a motorcycle. But as long as you pay attention to your belongings, nothing bad will happen.  

What I will  say in this section, though, is that you NEED to be extremely careful if you decide to rent a scooter in Bali. I’d say that’s actually the most dangerous thing on the island! I drive very cautiously when riding my moto , and I’ve never been in an accident (knock on wood), but I’ve had several friends end up in the hospital with serious injuries.

Nevertheless, I wouldn’t let that stop you from enjoying the feeling of exploring the island on two wheels. The scooter rides through rice terraces are one of my favorite things about living in Bali, and it’s a great, cheap, and efficient way to experience Bali. Just make sure the person driving is confident and skilled. You should also avoid driving during peak traffic hours.

Best Bali Trip Travel Insurance

I never travel anywhere without booking a travel insurance policy . This is essential for all Bali visitors!

So I’ll repeat…

Please, do NOT visit Bali WITHOUT Travel Insurance!

It’s unfortunately all too common that people come to Bali, get into a scooter accident, and end up needing a lot of medical attention. This, as you can imagine, is not cheap, and while the Bintangs and good vibes are, don’t expect medical treatment as a foreigner to also be of great value! These bills will add up, and sometimes they won’t even operate before they know you’re covered.

I’ve had at least 4 friends now get in serious accidents, but only half of them had travel insurance to cover their needs. Trust me – especially if you plan on driving or getting on the back of a moto (which you most likely will), you’ll want peace of mind to make sure you’re covered.

You also need to consider other issues that could arise, such as theft, boat sinking or water damage, or catching dengue. Trust me when I say these warnings aren’t to scare you, but real-life examples I’ve seen during my time in Bali.

I highly recommend HeyMondo due to its extensive range of cover for all situations and trip lengths. Their fair pricing and handy app allow you to manage any claims within the app and access free assistance online. This means you don’t need to rack up an expensive phone bill in Indonesia, where the charges are steep!

Nowadays, I would never travel without insurance again, especially after hearing so many of those (expensive and dangerous) horror stories from other travelers I’ve met. So, whether you need a single trip cover for two weeks in Bali or an affordable annual cover for multiple trips worldwide, be sure to buy your travel insurance before you travel, knowing that HeyMondo has your back.

Still, planning your trip? You can always get a no-commitment travel insurance quote now, so you know how much extra to budget for your vacation!

WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR A TRIP TO BALI? A BASIC PACKING LIST

One of the things I love about Bali is that you really don’t need to bring all that much — especially if you’re just on a quick 10-day or two-week holiday. Also, shopping in Bali is fantastic. You’ll want to bring back a separate suitcase filled with souvenirs and clothing.

Here are a few items I think are essential for your travels to Bali!  

• Clothing: You’ll want a couple of pairs of shorts, swim trunks, t-shirts, sandals, and comfortable adventure shoes. Add one or two fancier outfits for dinners or nightlife too. Everyone will have different styles or preferences, but my main clothing tip would be to keep it light. Quick-drying clothes will be helpful, mainly because you will sweat up a storm.  
• Portable charger: Anker PowerCore Portable Charger  is one of the smallest and lightest power banks available. I carry this with me everywhere I go because I’m using my iPhone a bit more than I care to admit! Well, when you’re exploring Bali, you’ll definitely want a portable charger.
• Microfiber towel: This Rainleaf MicroFiber Towel  is budget-friendly and stylish. Plus, a quick-drying towel is a must for visiting Bali. You’ll find yourself hiking, sweating, and swimming often – and you’re really going to want one of these. I just bought one of these myself, and it’s the #1 best seller on Amazon!
• Quality sunscreen: The sun is super intense in Bali, and you’ll be out in the sun often during this Bali itinerary. So, make sure you buy some decent sunscreen before you get to Bali because it costs SO much more out there for some reason. I personally use this Neutrogena Lightweight & Water Resistant SPF,  and I love it!
• Mosquito repellent: Unfortunately, mosquitos are flying all over the place in Bali. And you really want to protect yourself when you go on long adventures. I recommend this Mosquito Repellent Bracelet . If you’re just shopping around Seminyak or chilling in Canggu, I wouldn’t worry too much, but if you’re out in nature, definitely put some on!  
• Go Pro: The GoPro Hero 11 is my favorite adventure camera, and I’m truly blown away by the hyper-smooth stability that the GoPro Hero 11 offers. You can take some epic images with this, and it’ll also be perfect for all the underwater or snorkeling shots you’ll want. For the aspiring content creators out there, combine it with a TELESIN Dome Port  for some unique, fun, and creative shots!
• Waterproof phone case: No matter what kind of phone you have, you really want to protect it during your trip. This itinerary is pretty active, and if you don’t have a supportive phone case, like the JOTO Universal Waterproof Phone , I bet you’ll be paying for some phone repairs!  
• Power adapter: Last but certainly not least, this Universal Power Adapter  is just a basic travel essential that you’ll want to pick up one of these before your trip to Bali. I personally love this one and would definitely recommend it!  

THE ULTIMATE BALI TRIP ITINERARY | PLANNING A TRIP TO BALI

Alright, let’s dive into my guide for my extensive Bali holiday itinerary!

10 DAYS & TWO-WEEKS IN BALI ITINERARY

The way I’ve set up this 10-day itinerary is that it’s all focused on Bali. But if you have a full two weeks, I’ve included a trip to the Gili Islands too.

I think it’s best to do it this way because when you book round-trip boat transfers to Gili Trawangan, you can have them drop you off directly at the airport, depending on your schedule. You can book day trips or rent scooters to explore nearby attractions when you’re based in one place for a bit longer.

One thing I think is important about traveling around Bali is avoiding checking in and out of hotels and Airbnb’s every couple of days. That’s why I’ve put at least 3+ nights in each place, and you’ll get a better feeling for the area.  

The full itinerary is below, but here’s an overview of my recommended route so you can start planning:

• Uluwatu (3 Nights)
• Canggu (3 Nights)
• Ubud (4 Nights)
• Gili Islands (3-4 Nights for Two-Week Itinerary)

You might not have the time, energy, or money to do everything on this Bali itinerary, but I wanted to include as much information as possible. So without further ado, let’s get down to the day-to-day itinerary activities!!

BEST PLACES TO STAY ON THIS ITINERARY FOR BALI

Bali is home to some of the world’s most gorgeous luxury resorts and private villas but also has an extensive variety of mid-range hotels and backpacker hostels. It depends on your budget and how much you want to spend. I’ve compiled a fun selection of my top recommended accommodation for each destination on my Bali itinerary. I know you’ll enjoy your stay at any of the options below:

WHERE TO STAY IN ULUWATU

Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu : Consistently reviewed as one of the best values in Bali, get treated like royalty here without breaking the bank. There’s a gorgeous sun terrace with a swimming pool, extremely clean and comfortable rooms, and impeccable service!  

Six Senses Uluwatu : This brand new 5-Star Luxury Resort in Uluwatu will certainly provide an unforgettable stay, but rooms here are costly. Its cliffside location, delicious cuisine, and immaculate attention would make for an exceptional first hotel on the island.    

Home-Bience  Hostel : If you’re a backpacker on a tight budget in Bali, look no further than staying here at Home-Bience Hostel. While it has a shared kitchen and barbeque facilities, you can also get a varied breakfast at an affordable rate too.

WHERE TO STAY IN CANGGU

Theanna Eco Villa and Spa : Top-notch luxury at bargain prices! Once you step foot inside this eco resort, you’ll fall into a state of complete tranquility. It’s consistently rated and reviewed as the best hotel and resort in Canggu, with excellent value for money and world-class service.

Kosone Hostel | Alternative Beach : I was living in Canggu when this opened (early 2019), and I’d say it’s the best hostel in Canggu! It’s got a fabulous pool with a swim-up bar, DJs spinning music all day, delicious food, comfortable beds, and rooftop jacuzzis. Do I need to say anymore? Trust me – if you’re a backpacker in Canggu, stay here!  

WHERE TO STAY IN UBUD

Hanging Gardens of Bali | Ubud’s Premiere Luxury Resort : This is the jungle resort of your dreams! “Located just 30-minute drive from the Ubud’s town center and nestled deep in the heart of Ubud’s rich rainforest preserve, this enchanting five-star luxury resort on 3.2 hectares has 44 private suites and individual villas.”  

Visesa Ubud Resort : This best-seller luxury resort has fantastic prices for the comfort you’ll receive. The villas are absolutely stunning, the staff goes above and beyond, and it has pretty much everything you look for in a resort in Ubud. Delicious food, gorgeous views, shuttle services to the center, and a full spa await you.

Wayan’s Family Hostel Ubud : If you’re looking for an excellent but cheap hostel in Ubud, look no money than this charming family-run guesthouse. It has a magnificent backpacker atmosphere, is a beautiful property, and you’ll fall in love with the staff!

WHERE TO STAY ON GILI TRAWANGAN

Pearl Of Trawangan Resort : There are tons of beautiful resorts on the Gili Islands, but this is easily my favorite! It has an unbeatable beachfront location near the main promenade. The stunning property would be an excellent pick for your time in paradise!!

Gili Castle (formerly known as Gili Backpackers) : This is where I worked when I lived on Gili T, and I’ve got nothing but fond memories of this backpacker hostel! They organize awesome parties and pub crawls, which make it easy to meet fellow travelers. There is a pool with a rock climbing wall, and all the facilities are comfortable. I’d highly recommend staying here for young travelers on a budget.

BALI ITINERARY DAY 1: INTRODUCTION TO BALI = ULUWATU BLISS (3+ NIGHTS)

Honestly, there is no better place to begin your Bali vacation than down in Uluwatu , which is at the southern tip of the island!

It’s my personal favorite area in Bali, world-famous for its surf competitions, has a really fun nightlife scene, and is undoubtedly the best part of the island for watching the sunset. Uluwatu is a place that will certainly leave an impression and will keep you coming back for more! Here you can spend your days relaxing on the beach, swimming in infinity pools, lounging at day clubs, surfing gnarly waves, or riding a scooter along epic coastlines.  

It also has a perfectly relaxed atmosphere that I absolutely love, and I could easily see myself living in Uluwatu for a couple of months sometime in the future. There really is no shortage of amazing things to do in Uluwatu , which I’ve discussed for day 2. Since it’s your first day on the island, take the evening to relax at your resort, enjoy a lovely evening meal, and hopefully conquer any jet lag you’re feeling.  

If you’re up for it, you could enjoy dinner and cocktails your first evening having dinner soaking up the vibe. I recommend one of Jimbaran Bay’s cliffside restaurants or candlelit dinners on Jimbaran Bay, about a 15-20 minute drive from Uluwatu.

“Perched atop distinctive rock formations along Jimbaran’s pristine sunset coast, Rock Bar Bali is widely respected as one of the globe’s most popular sunset, cocktail, and entertainment venues. Showcasing unparalleled views from 14 meters above the Indian Ocean, Rock Bar is accessible via AYANA’s dramatic cliffside inclinator. Featuring a glamorous sunset vibe, and a seductive after-dark ambiance, listen to premier international DJs as they heighten your experience from a custom DJ booth carved directly into the cliff face”.

BALI ITINERARY DAY 2: ULUWATU BEACH EXPLORATIONS & NIGHTLIFE

Everyone will be different, depending on how you want to spend your Bali vacation. Do you want to treat this as a relaxing holiday, or are you more adventurous? Do you want to be surrounded by people and experience luxurious beach clubs, or do you prefer solitude and exploring quieter areas?

No matter what kind of traveler you are, I’ve listed a few of my favorite activities in Uluwatu and the south coast of Bali, and I’m sure this will keep you super busy.

ULUWATU HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Visit the Uluwatu Temple: “This one of six key temples believed to be Bali’s spiritual pillars, and is renowned for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 meters above sea level.”  After your tour of the Uluwatu Temple, I’d also suggest checking out the Kecak Fire Dance if you’re there simultaneously. It’s a unique cultural fire and traditional Balinese dance show that is definitely a superb experience.
• Watch the professional surfers at Uluwatu Beach: There are tons of different bars and restaurants to choose from, but sit back, grab a Bintang (local beer), and watch from above while these pros amaze you with their skills.  
• Explore all the beautiful beaches around Uluwatu: You’re spoiled for choice here with beaches like Suluban Beach, Padang Padang, Dreamland Beach, Bingin Beach, Melasti Beach, Green Bowl Beach, and Pandawa Beach.
• Never miss a sunset. Uluwatu is home to the most magical sunsets practically every evening, so make sure you plan accordingly! Find an infinity pool, rooftop bar, or restaurant terrace, and soak it up!
• Check out a day club: Sundays Beach Club, Finns Beach Club, OMNIA, Karma Beach Club, etc. Honestly, there are tons of epic places to spend a day, but they can be a bit pricey if you’re a backpacker on a budget!  
• Sunday nights at Single Fin: This is one of the most legendary parties on the island, but they only really happen on Sunday night. Don’t get me wrong, Single Fin is an awesome bar & restaurant every night of the week, but definitely, don’t miss the Sunday night party.  
• Spend Saturday nights at Padang Padang Beach: There’s a really cool beach party every Saturday night with reggae and electronic music, lively crowds, and a unique location!  
• Rent a moto to explore it all easily: Uluwatu is one of the best areas on the island to adventure around on a moto! You can rent one for as little as $4 per day, the roads never seem too busy, and it’s just a great feeling!  
• Enjoy a meal at Cashew Tree: This will always be one of my favorite restaurants in all of Bali! They’ve got deliciously healthy smoothies, a large menu, and affordable prices. It’s a backpacker favorite as well, located nearby Bingin’ Beach.  

Check out my article about the best things to do in Uluwatu for more information. All I know is that it’s simply a breathtaking area of Bali, and it might just be hard to leave.

BALI ITINERARY DAY 3: NUSA ISLANDS DAY-TRIPPING

Located just a short 20-30 minute speedboat ride off the coast of Bali are three idyllic islands: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Penida.

They are all absolutely gorgeous and have unbelievable beaches, landscapes, and some of the best snorkeling or scuba-diving in the country. I’ll talk about this at the bottom of this article, but a substitution would be spending several days on one of these islands if you care a lot about these water activities.

I think it’s a really fun and fantastic day trip since it’s just off the coast, and you can see a lot and still make it back to Uluwatu for sunset cocktails — that is if you have the energy!

There are tons of options, but here are a few of the best sellers. It really just depends if you’re more into beaches, viewpoints, swimming, or snorkeling.

BEST OF NUSA PENIDA PRIVATE FULL-DAY TOUR

Review: “Climb aboard a fast boat at Sanur Beach and cross the sea to Toyapakeh on the small island of Nusa Penida. Meet your local host on arrival and begin your private day tour. Visit the famous Kelingking Beach for the chance to take photos of the most beautiful spot on the island. Marvel at the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, and then continue to Pasih Uug (Broken Beach) and the natural pool of Angel’s Billabong. Experience the peace and quiet of one of the less visited spots on Nusa Penida before going to the popular beach at Crystal Bay, known for its great diving and snorkeling opportunities.”  

Price:   $33

FROM BALI: SNORKELING DAY TRIP TO NUSA LEMBONGAN

Review: “Discover an island paradise off the south coast of Bali and snorkel at 3 different spots around the islands of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida in the Indian Ocean. Marvel at the wide variety of tropical fish and live coral flora and fauna.”

Price:   $68

FULL-DAY SNORKELING TRIP TO NUSA PENIDA & MANTA POINT

Review: “Nusa Penida is a perfect spot for snorkeling and exploring marine life as you’ll see on this full-day trip. Spot the ocean sunfish, or mola mola and the great manta rays on some of the most amazing drift dives in Indonesia. Board the boat at Sanur Beach for the ride to Nusa Penida and your first snorkeling session of the day at Manta Point. Marvel at the majestic manta rays, which grow up to 6 meters in length. Take some time to enjoy a swim or to relax on the boat, before your second snorkeling session. Afterwards, savor a delicious lunch on the boat.”   

Price:  $132

Check out this epic YouTube Video about Nusa Penida for some travel inspiration!

BALI ITINERARY DAY 4: CANGGU CHILLIN & BAR HOPPING

In only a few short years, Canggu has quickly become popular and overthrown Seminyak as “the place to be”  in Bali. It’s changed drastically since my first visit in 2015. Since then, it has   become a digital nomad hotspot loaded with trendy cafes, co-working spaces, yoga studios, beach clubs, funky bars, surf camps, and thousands of people enjoying the Canggu lifestyle!   

I was fortunate to live in Canggu for a couple of months this year, and it really is a must-visit in Bali. Here’s what you should add to your Bali itinerary for 4 days.

CANGGU HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Eat at as many different cafes as possible: Canggu is easily one of the top “foodie hotspots” I’ve ever visited in my entire life. There are literally dozens of places you should try! A couple of my personal favorites are Milk & Madu, The Shady Shack, Motion Cafe, Peleton Supershop, Cinta Cafe, and Milu by Nook.
• Take a surfing lesson: If you’re new to the sport, Canggu can be an excellent place to learn the basics of surfing! While the waves can be a bit rough on some days, the surf camps are awesome in Canggu and will be a great way to spend a couple of hours. Take this tour  as an introduction to the sport.
• Watch the sunset every night on the beach: There are tons of different little local bars & restaurants along the beach, and they tend to put out bean bags and tables during the sunset. Grab a coconut and a beer, and watch the sky change colors to gorgeous orange and pink hues.
• Relax & swim at Alternative Beach Pool & Hostel: This venue is becoming super popular in Canggu. It’s got a perfect temperature pool, decent food options, and a nice sandy vibe hence the name.
• Spend a luxurious day at Finns Beach Club: If you’re not on the strictest budget, why not book a daybed at Finn’s for an easygoing day at a gorgeous venue?
• Stop by AMO Spa for one of their famous facials, relaxing massages, and an Epsom salt jacuzzi session: I’m sad I didn’t discover this place sooner because it ended up being one of my favorite spots in Canggu. The sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and cold plunge circuit are an outstanding endorphin rush!
• Go Canggu nightlife bar hopping: There are plenty of places to visit whether you go for drinks at Old Man’s, cocktails at La Brisa, or find your way to the hidden bar in the supermarket along the  “Canggu shortcut.”  Other really awesome bars I enjoy are The Lawn (awesome pool included), Pretty Poison, and Deus Ex Machina! You can check out this article about the best bars in Canggu for more information on the nightlife!

Check out this epic YouTube video for some more Canggu Travel Information & Inspiration!

BALI ITINERARY DAY 5: SURF, EAT, REPEAT & TANAH LOT TEMPLE SUNSET

Spend another day exploring everything (mainly the cafes) that Canggu has to offer. Do some yoga, surf, hit a co-working space, cross-fit, join a beach clean up, and more!

For sunset, I’d recommend renting a moto and driving down the road (only 20-25 minutes) to the Tanah Lot Temple . It’s one of Bali’s most important landmarks, famed for its unique offshore setting and sunset backdrops. It’s an ancient Hindu shrine perched on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves.

There’s a small entrance fee of 60,000 IDR ($4 USD), and you can easily spend an hour or two walking around the coastline and enjoying the scenic views.  

BALI ITINERARY DAY 6: SEMINYAK SHOPPING, DAY CLUBS & NIGHTLIFE

Continuing on with this Bali trip planning, I’d recommend making the short drive from Canggu down to Seminyak for a day of shopping and beach clubs. Seminyak is one of the fancier and more developed regions on the island and is full of awesome things to do, places to eat, and fantastic souvenir shopping!  

Now, on this itinerary, I’ve only listed one day in Seminyak because the last time I visited, I felt it was starting to get a bit too overcrowded. Still, you could easily stay here for several days and explore everything this place offers.

SEMINYAK HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Souvenir shop til’ you drop: For me, I think the Seminyak, Legian, and Kuta area is the best for buying all your souvenirs in Bali. Just remember to haggle, or the locals will take you for a ride. Most prices in all the souvenir stalls are negotiable!
• Visit Potato Head Beach Club: I’ve visited the world-famous Potato Head several times, and it remains one of my favorite spots in Seminyak! It’s a gorgeous beachfront property, has tons of fancy daybeds and loungers, and the food is absolutely delicious! While Potato Head Beach Club is a bit costly (for Bali standards), it’s worth stopping by for a swim, a meal, and a beer. There’s a lively atmosphere, and it can be a great place to meet people – especially around the swim-up bar.
• Relax on bean bags and under umbrellas at La Plancha Seminyak: One of the most colorful bars & restaurants on the beach you’ll ever see. During sunset, they’ve got a fun DJ spinning, decent prices, and an overall fantastic vibe you’re guaranteed to love!
• Pool party at Mrs. Sippy: This is the largest saltwater pool and one of the best pool party hotspots in Bali! Sippy regularly has international DJs come to perform (I saw Pete Tong there earlier this year), and you’ll love watching people jump from the high platform all day long.
• Grab a cup of coffee at Revolver: If you’re a coffee snob, you have to try a cup from Revolver, known to be the best coffee in Seminyak!
• Party it up at the Legendary Nightlife: Kuta & Seminyak are two areas that are quite popular for their bar and nightclub scene. Here are a few of my favorite spots: Motel Mexicola, SkyGarden, Ku De Ta, Cocoon, Woobar, and JENJA.

SEMINYAK TOURS

Seminyak balinese cooking class & market tour.

Review:   “Learn how to cook authentic Balinese dishes with your friendly and experienced local chefs in Seminyak. Join this fun cooking course and bring back some Balinese recipes and newly acquired skills from this 4.5-hour cooking class.”   

Price:   $35.00

Read Reviews & Check the Availability  

BALI ITINERARY DAY 7: UBUD CAFES, MONKEYS, TEMPLES, AND YOGA

Now that you’ve gotten plenty of time to explore Bali’s popular beach areas, the time has come to make the hour’s drive up to the cultural and spiritual capital of Bali.

Many people plan a trip to Bali and immediately add Ubud to their itinerary. That’s because there is truly something magical in the air at Ubud. The minute you step foot in this town, you will slowly start to feel your stress & worries float away.

Ubud is also a fantastic jumping-off point for adventuring around the rest of the island.

UBUD HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

For your first day in Ubud, though, here’s what I would suggest crossing off your bucket list!

• Try out trendy cafes, vegan eats & smoothie bowls: Ubud is another incredible destination for food, and you could easily spend 3 days here eating at as many places as possible and still only scratch the surface. A few of my favorites you MUST TRY are ZEST, Sayuri Healing Food, Alchemy, KAFE, and Clear Cafe.
• Get up close and personal with monkeys: Well, strolling through the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is the best place to do it. Just be careful. The monkeys at this magical sanctuary  aren’t always as friendly as you’d hope! It’s centrally located in town, super cheap, and a super fun way to spend an hour.
• Legends of the Hidden Temples: Rent a moto, and explore as many of the beautiful temples in the Ubud area as possible. There are literally dozens, and all of them are gorgeous. A few top picks are Pura Tirta Empul, Pura Taman Saraswati, and Goa Gajah!
• Do some Y-O-G-A: There are some fantastic yoga studios in Ubud, and even if it’s not your thing, I’d recommend trying it out. My first experience with Bikram yoga was in Ubud, and it was a sweaty experience I’ll never forget.  
• Ubud Art Market and beyond: Strolling around downtown Ubud has some really fantastic shopping opportunities. You can find some awesome stuff from the traditional art market, souvenir stalls, and trendy fashion stalls here.

 UBUD TOURS

Ubud balinese cooking class at an organic farm.

Review: “Discover the culinary secrets of Bali at an exclusive cooking class at an organic farm in the lush tropics surrounding Ubud. Visit a local market and experience everyday life, before preparing a regular or vegetarian meal with the help of a chef.”  

BALI ITINERARY DAY 8: TEGALALANG RICE TERRACES, BALI SWING & CAMPUHAN RIDGE WALK

Ubud still has so many places to teach you about Balinese culture and beauty, like the Tegalalang Rice Terraces and the famous swings that almost every influencer has taken pictures at while visiting Bali. These are all ideal for your second day here.

HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Visit the rice terraces: Located just a quick twenty-minute scooter ride from downtown Ubud is the Instagram-famous and undeniably gorgeous Tegalalang Rice Terraces . It’s one of the most stunning tourist destinations in Bali and will certainly impress you with its sprawling views of lush green valleys, rice paddies, and towering palm trees! It’s completely free to walk through, but I would bring money for any Bali swings you want to do, coconuts, cold drinks, meals, etc.

• Catch the rice terrace sunrises: If you’re willing to wake up early, watching the sunrise & witnessing the light rays shine through the palm trees is a sight you must see to believe! It’ll be one of the most peaceful ways to start your day, and then you can spend the next 3-4 hours exploring the area. If you head there around mid-day, though, expect big crowds and intense humidity (which can make for some sweaty explorations)!

When you’re done hiking around the rice terraces, I’d recommend picking one of the restaurants up at the top for a bite to eat! It’s a pretty epic place to enjoy a refreshing smoothie bowl & fresh coconut water!

• Terrace River Pool Swing: A few minutes from the main rice terraces is this super fun zip-lining and Bali Swing mini-amusement park called Terrace River Pool Swing . It’s also free to walk through and take photos, but you’ll have to pay if you want to do any of the activities. My friend Vanessa and I spent a good hour here and loved it!  

• Campuhan Ridge Walk: The Campuhan Ridge Walk is the best-known Ubud hiking trail and is a fantastic place to stroll during the sunset (or any time of the day, really). The sparse crowds and the aesthetically rich vistas will remind you why people worldwide come to Bali. The trail starts at the historical origin of Ubud, the confluence (or Campuhan) of the Wos Rivers. You’ll get some epic hilltop views as you stroll along the nice paved trail and will be surrounded by Ubud rice fields and a deep gorge with a river rushing through it. It’s only about 1.5 kilometers long, so it is popular as a place to work up a sweat. If you’re not too exhausted after exploring the rice terraces, I would say this is an absolute must-do in Ubud!  

Check out this video for a bit of travel inspiration and what to expect!

BALI ITINERARY DAY 9: MT. BATUR SUNRISE HIKE & SPA RELAXATION RECOVERY

Admire the panoramic view of the three volcanoes of Mt. Agung, Mt. Abang, and Mt. Rinjani in Lombok in the majestic sunrise over the clouds from the crater of Mt. Batur!

For adventure travelers, I’d highly recommend waking up super early and beginning the trek to the top of Mt. Batur to witness one of the most magnificent sunrises you will ever see!  

Fair warning, though, this hike is known to be a bit intense and is not for the faint-hearted. Unfortunately, this is one of the few main activities I haven’t gotten the chance to do myself yet, but everyone speaks so highly of it!

There are a few different tours to choose from, and it just depends on what piques your interest the most! Read through some of their itineraries, and browse through all their company reviews.  

• Mount Batur Sunrise Trek with Breakfast
• Mount Batur Sunrise Trek with Hidden Waterfall
• Mount Batur Sunrise Trek & Hot Springs

“Head up the mountain along a less-crowded hiking trail that follows the volcano’s eastern slope. During the ascent, you’ll trek along a 3-kilometer-long trail. The trail is of moderate difficulty, and passes through lush tropical jungles. On reaching the top you’ll enjoy breakfast cooked by steam from the volcano. Sip hot tea or coffee at leisure while watching the magical sunrise. Afterwards, your trek continues to the main crater rim of the volcano, at 1,717 meters above sea level. Take a different route down the mountain, starting from the southwestern crater rim. The journey ends with a chance to soak in the crystal-clear waters of a hot spring to soothe away any aches and pains you may have.”  

UBUD SPA RECOVERY HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

After an early morning wake-up and a long day of climbing up a volcano, you will be ready for a little bit of #self-care and pampering! Ubud was the first time I booked a full-day spa package, and the overall experience blew me away.

I only paid $120 USD, but I received a body scrub, 60-minute massage, herbal bath, healthy lunch, manicure, and pedicure!! It was called DIVINE PAMPERING!!

• Relax at Tasku Spa: Countless different spas in Ubud would be perfect, but I went to Taksu Spa | Ubud’s Premiere Wellness Center  for my spa treatment. They didn’t pay me to say this or anything. I just loved my experience and would highly recommend it to fellow travelers! If you’re looking for something a bit cheaper, though, you can visit any of the smaller massage parlors spread around the town!

BALI ITINERARY DAY 10: HANDARA GATE, LAKE BATAN & ULUN DANU BERATAN TEMPLE & SEKUMPUL WATERFALL

Next up on this ultimate Bali itinerary is to book a day trip, hire a private driver, or rent some scooters and explore north Bali! There’s quite a lot to see up there, and it will definitely be a pretty solid day of adventures.  

NORTH BALI HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Handara Gate : Make a quick stop over at this iconic “Bali Gate,” which is actually the entrance to a golf course. It’s a perfect photo opportunity and is a breathtaking view of green scenery and the gigantic exotic traditional Balinese gate as your backdrop.

• Lake Beratan: This is where you’ll visit the majestic Ulun Danu Beratan Temple sitting on a small island on the lake, just as you’ve seen in the postcards and Instagram shots of Bali. This lakeside temple was constructed in honor of Dewi Danu, the lake goddess, formed by a volcanic eruption 30,000 years ago.

• Sekumpul Waterfall: Quite commonly called the best waterfall in Bali. It’s just a 40-minute drive from the lake and is the perfect place to spend a few hours! Just don’t forget your GoPro!  
• Banyumala Twin Waterfall: “This stunningly beautiful waterfall is perfect for a quiet and peaceful afternoon in the arms of Mother Nature. The natural pool is inviting with its translucent turquoise waters. Swim in tranquility, listen to the thunderous roar of cascading waters, and take in the sights of the vibrant greenery. Although no picture will ever do this natural wonder justice, that shouldn’t stop you from that perfect Instagram shot!”
• Rent a scooter: If you’re confident on a scooter, I would 100% recommend you explore by yourself. The roads are all really scenic, and I loved my experience just whippin’ around the North. It’s higher elevation, which means it’s less hot, and the way the clouds sit upon the hills is majestic!  

NORTH OF BALI TOURS

Northern charm: lake bratan, handara gate, waterfall & swing.

This tour company offers a trip that goes to most of these places and would be a great way to see everything with a professional guide. The price includes all entrance fees (which can actually add up) and has excellent reviews!  

HIRE A CAR WITH A PRIVATE DRIVER FOR 10 HOURS

I remember when I first visited Bali and discovered you could hire a car with a driver to take you anywhere you wanted to go for less than $50! It’s such a fantastic deal, especially if you’re traveling with a significant other or a group of friends!  

Price:   $45.00

BALI ITINERARY DAYS 11-14: EXPERIENCE PARADISE ON THE GILI ISLANDS

Now, if you’ve got more than 10 days in Bali, this is where I’d suggest sailing over to the Gili Islands — one of my favorite destinations in Indonesia! I actually spent a few months living on Gili Trawangan working at a party hostel back in 2015, and it was one of the highlights of my time backpacking through Southeast Asia.

A trip to the Gili Islands is a trip to paradise! The color of the water here will honestly leave you speechless, and I’m just obsessed with the fact that pretty much anytime you go snorkeling/ scuba-diving out there, you’ll be swimming with turtles. There is top-notch nightlife, incredible restaurants, a relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous villas, and the most jaw-dropping sunsets every night!!

Here is a quick breakdown of every island:

• Gili Trawangan = Party Island
• Gili Meno = Honeymoon Island
• Gili Air = Best of Both Worlds / Family Friendly

To get to the Gili Islands, you’ll need to talk to any travel agent in Ubud to organize the hotel pick-up and transfer schedule. You can pick various times, but I’d recommend doing the earliest one possible. It’s a couple hours’ drive to the port and then another couple of hours to the islands!

GILI ISLANDS HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO

• Go snorkeling or scuba-diving every day: The water is crystal clear here, and you can see some pretty awesome marine life just off the shores of each of the three islands! For scuba divers, make sure you chat with some of the dive centers to discuss the best dive sites!
• Watch the sunset every night: Grab a cocktail or a coconut at one of the many beach bars, and watch while the sky dips beneath the horizon in the future and lights up the sky in pretty much every color of the rainbow.
• Party it up: Gili Trawangan is easily one of the best party islands in Southeast Asia , and you can find yourself bar hopping every night if you want to.
• Bike ride around the island: There are no cars on the Gili’s, so I’d recommend renting a bike for at least one day and riding all the way around the island!  
• Enjoy a psychedelic experience: You may or may not be interested in this, but you can buy magic mushrooms in Indonesia quite easily! They’re readily available at many beach bars and shops, and they’re a super fun way to spend a few hours!    

ARRIVAL AT BALI DENPASAR AIRPORT

Once you’ve landed in Bali, successfully made it through immigration and customs, and collected your bags – you’ll need to get your transportation sorted to your first hotel. I must warn you that Bali’s worst part is the Ngurah Rai International Airport !  

You will be harassed by countless people asking you for a taxi, which can be overwhelming after a long-haul flight. That’s why I’d strongly suggest booking a Bali Airport Private Transfer beforehand!   

There are tons of different Bali transfer companies, and most hotels will offer this service (but charge way too much), but I really love this one through Get Your Guide – Bali Airport Private Transfer ! I’ve personally used this service before, and for only $18, it’s a pretty fantastic deal!

It’s really nice to have this all handled before arriving at the airport because it makes for a stress-free arrival! Most Bali car drivers are super friendly and are happy to chat about their favorite things on the island, food, etc.

BEST ITINERARY FOR BALI SUBSTITUTIONS

Alright, so I know I just went over so much information, but now I’m offering up a few other possible Bali itinerary ideas! The truth is that every traveler is a bit different, and there is no right way to spend 10 days or two weeks exploring Bali!  

• Spend more time on the Nusa Islands: With fantastic marine biodiversity, rugged landscapes, and pristine beaches – taking the ferry over to the Nusa Islands and spending 3-4 days over here would be a great option.
• Book a few nights at Mt. Kintamani instead of Ubud: This is a really gorgeous part of Bali, and you wouldn’t believe some of the gorgeous resorts up there. It’ll also make the sunrise hike a lot easier, and you could even attempt to do it on your own to save money!

• Relax & slow down in Sanur: This sleepy coastal town was one of the very first places I visited in Bali, and I honestly loved it. While it may not have the gorgeous coastlines like in Uluwatu or the trendy cafes in Canggu, it’s definitely a comfortable spot with some lively resorts, beautiful white sand beaches, and a nice relaxing vibe. There’s great souvenir shopping, an awesome night market, and overall a solid place to spend a few days!  

BALI ITINERARY TRAVEL TIPS

Bring an international driver’s license.

Fair warning – there’s a good chance that you will get pulled over while driving around Bali! The local cops in Bali are, well… they can be rather CORRUPT. Not all of them, but there’s a huge issue with cops extorting cash from tourists!  

I’ve been harassed almost every time I drive around Bali (for longer-distance trips), but if you have the proper paperwork and an International Driver’s License , you shouldn’t have any problems. Most of the time, they are just security checkpoints on major roads.

If you do get pulled over and they are giving you a difficult time… just try and BRIBE THEM. Hand them over a 50,000 IDR bill, and then show them an empty wall! Simply drive off, and see if that works.

BE CAREFUL WITH THE MONEY EXCHANGE PLACES

They are notorious on the island for scamming tourists, so my recommendation would be to just use the ATMs to get your money. Also, make sure you bring a credit card with no international withdrawal fees! Most tour agencies, restaurants, and bars accept credit cards these days!

DON’T TRUST THE MONKEYS

If this is your first time traveling through Southeast Asia, you might not understand how evil monkeys can actually be! Don’t have any loose jewelry around them, don’t smile at them, don’t look at them directly in the eyes, etc. Just be super cautious with them!  

Check out these YouTube videos below for First Time Travelers to Bali!

HOW TO GET AROUND IN BALI

Use a rideshare app.

There are three main Rideshare apps in Bali: UBER, GOJEK, and GRAB! Download all three of these before landing, and you’ll always be able to find a ride. I’ve never had any issues using any of these platforms, and it is definitely the easiest way to get around. You can even call a MOTO GoJek, and they’ll offer you a helmet, and you sit behind them!  

RENT A SCOOTER

Scooters are an extremely popular way for travelers in Bali to explore the island. Especially around Canggu, Uluwatu, and Ubud – it makes a huge difference if you have your own moto !  

HIRE A PRIVATE DRIVER

For $40-$60 per day, you can Hire a Private Driver (depending on how long you hire for)! For example, if you’re booking a taxi from Uluwatu to Canggu, why not just hire the driver for the entire day, and go explore as much as possible? It really just depends on how you want to spend your days!  

INTERESTED IN SCUBA DIVING?

If you’ve found yourself with some more time to gallivant around Indonesia, I’d highly recommend booking a flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo. So you can visit the wondrous Komodo National Park  and experience some of the world’s most unbelievable marine biodiversity and scuba-diving.  

I’ve now visited Komodo two different times, and it is a remarkable destination that deserves a place on every traveler’s bucket list! Komodo National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve!  

The color and clarity of the water are stunning, the landscape is completely gorgeous, and getting up close and personal with Komodo Dragons is an experience you’ll never forget. But the real magic begins when you strap on your fins and snorkel mask and start exploring the underwater scenery!

It really is the best snorkeling and scuba-diving I’ve witnessed in my life! It’s also one of the best places to do a liveaboard in Southeast Asia, as the prices are relatively affordable (compared to other popular scuba destinations).  

Check out these Komodo National Park liveaboards to view dates, prices, and availability to see if you can squeeze one into your Bali itinerary!

• Adelaar Liveaboard (Bali – Komodo)
• Moana Liveaboard
• Indo Aggressor (Komodo National Park)

PURCHASE THE BALI LONELY PLANET & POCKETBOOK

No matter how long your Bali vacation is, I’d also recommend picking up one of the Bali Lonely Planet Travel Guide Books ! They are honestly loaded with insider tips, restaurant recommendations, and fun day ideas! I know I’ve gone into a  lot of detail in this post (so maybe you should bookmark this for your trip), but these are always handy!

I am a 53 year old female who will be travelling alone and as you may have guessed I have only ever been on package holidays before but would love to do Bali on a multi hotel basis to ensure I see as much as possible in either 2 or 3 weeks. Look forward to some replies – all advice welcomed xx

THINGS TO DO IN BALI IN JULY

Bali has been attracting all kinds of travelers from around the world for centuries. Once you have been here the strong pull tries to bring you back. Whenever you plan to come to Bali, the island gets everybody with a tremendous variety of attractions all year round. Learn in this article what is going on in Bali in July.

From busy Canggu to spiritual Ubud, the rural and quiet north coast, stunning beaches, tropical forests, regal (inactive) volcanos, lush nature, superb waves and big smiles from the Balinese around every corner - there is a magic in this little island for everybody that is hard to describe. The island enables great adventures that never cease to amaze. Come and dip into this tropical paradise with its rich culture and great hospitality.

As this July is totally different from the last years, we thought it is a great idea to show how to celebrate/honor the holidays and events without leaving the house or joining big gatherings, but also with an opportunity to support the Island in time of need. Find after each festivity date an alternative column called ‘why not’….

Saraswati day is devoted to Dewi Saraswati, the Goddess of Science & Knowledge. Books of knowledge, manuscripts, and the Wedas are blessed and special offerings are made for them. All Balinese make offerings to their books especially students celebrate at school, usually in the morning. Saraswati Day is not a day off work, so all offices and banks are open. The day after Saraswati is called Banyu Pinaruh. Taken together, the words mean that one must have wisdom (Pinaruh) which always flows like water (Banyu). In the early morning of Banyu Pinaruh Day, the Balinese will go to the beaches, rivers, and springs to purify themselves and pray for wisdom. Learn more about Saraswati Day here.

Banyu Pinaruh is one of the key events held one day after Saraswati celebrations in Bali: Banyuh, which translates to ‘holy waters’ and Pinaruh means ‘knowledge’ -  the celebration of the sacred waters of knowledge. It is said that Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning, gave knowledge to the human race on this particular day. As a cultural ritual that is part of the traditions in Bali, you can see the Balinese mostly in the refreshing early morning hours at any of the following locations: the river banks, the shores of the lake or at the beach. Taking a bath at these locations is believed to rejuvenate the body and get rid of the mundane feeling that comes from day to day activities. This is often accompanied by the offering of sacrifices prior to the bath session.

Soma Ribek is a key festival in Bali commonly referred to as Soma Pon Wuku Sprott. It is an obvious fact that food is an integral part of daily life and the Balinese Hindus seek to show their gratitude for the availability of food on the island. Since rice is the staple food in Bali, it is quite obvious why this would be the symbolic offering of choice. To mark Soma Ribek, locals will stop grinding, pounding or selling rice in honor of this day. The locals thank God for the food available in their lives and pray to Dewi Sri, the Balinese pre-Hindu and pre-Islam goddess of rice and fertility, to give prosperity. All offerings, divine teachings and symbolic acts are a fundamental part of Soma Ribek. While foreigners should not take part in the rituals, it is important that they respect the customs of the day, including understanding the unavailability of rice in some areas

Pagerwesi commemorates the day upon which an ancient battle between good and evil was fought. The word “Pagerwesi” means “iron fence”, and reflects the purpose of this important event: it is the day to strengthen one’s fortifications against evil. The correlation between Pagerwesi and the Saraswati is that knowledge is so powerful that it must be protected from bad influences. Pagerwesi Day reminds people to be wise and more aware of the function and power of knowledge. The Balinese celebrate the Pagerwesi ceremony every six months according to the Balinese calendar and is usually held three days after the last Saraswati day. Learn more about Pagerwesi Day here.

Tumpek Landep

Nowadays Tumpek Landep is a ceremonial day at which offerings are made for objects that are made of metal. The ceremonies start in the morning hours at the village temple when people gather for special prayers and blessings. Afterward, at the home compounds, additional ceremonies and blessings follow at which offerings are made for the holy family keris that most families own, but also for cars and motorbikes. In these modern times, also other objects that contain metal, such as computers, may be subject to these ceremonies. Learn more about this holiday here.

What weather to expect in Bali in July           

The dry season from April until October has pleasant weather for visitors of all ages: not too hot, not too humid, just the perfect temperature with a light breeze. Even the water temperature during that season drops slightly, which is really refreshing, but there is no need for a wetsuit. The evenings become a little bit cooler, so some may feel the need to wear a light jacket when riding the scooter/motorbike or during the sunset at the beaches. Surf-wise it is the best season for all the famous spots around the Bukit Peninsula which is located in the southern part of the island. For all activities from Yoga classes to taking pictures on your day trips, this season offers the best weather and conditions. Being in Bali for the first time in July was a stunning experience.

 July is the second month of the dry season – the first is June – and the month that sees peak tourist season. Bali is close to the equator, and the weather there is warm all year round. However, with the onset of July, the weather changes from warm and hot to relatively pleasant with minimal rain. The skies are clear, and there is a slight wind accompanied by days of ample sunshine. As July is a peak season, the inflow of tourists in Bali is a lot more than in the other months, partly because it is best suited for all tourist and travel-related activities. Rainfall is less, with almost no change in sea temperature.

Bali in July - Average Temperature

Daily Average Temperature – 27 Degree Celsius (approximately 80 Degree Fahrenheit) Highest Temperature – 31 Degree Celsius (approximately 88 Degree Celsius) Lowest Temperature – 22 Degree Celsius (approximately 72 Degree Celsius)

Rainfall in Bali in July

The rainfall in Bali in July is minimal, with an average of 40 millimeters. The rainfall only happens for a few days in the entire month, so it can be said that your trip to Bali in July will not be spoiled by heavy rainfall and the humidity is low. However, keeping an umbrella as an essential part of your luggage is advisable.

Things to do and places to visit in Bali in June

Given that the weather in July is pleasant, it is understandable that tourists do want to go and see all the places they have on their bucket list for Bali. Given below are some places that are worth enjoying in July.

1. Visit the famous Ubud Royal Palace

Officially called the Puri Saren Agung, the royal palace of Ubud is one of Bali's most prominent and well-preserved landmarks. The Ubud Royal Palace was built during the reign of Tjokorda Putu Kandel and has acted as a center of display for traditional Balinese architecture. The place has a garden setting and is a must-visit for art lovers and those seeking to look at ethnic Balinese art.

Location – Talan Raya Ubud No 8, Ubud, Gianyar Timings – 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM

2. Discover the Sekumpul Waterfall

Termed as the best waterfall in Bali, the Sekumpul Waterfall – also known as the Hidden Falls – is the tourist spot to visit if you aim to go to Bali in July. The breathtaking twin falls drop to the valley floor – about 80 meters below. The entire area is surrounded by water vapors owing to fast and forceful drops of water and deep forests, making it a scenic beauty beyond imagination. What’s more is that to reach the fall, you must trek down a path, satisfying the trekker in you. The way to the waterfall is slippery and involves several steps, so it is advisable to visit it while wearing footwear that will assist you in climbing the steps without slipping.

Location – Sekumpul, Bali

3. See and pray at the beautiful Tanah Lot

A rock formation that is especially famous for housing an ancient Hindu pilgrimage temple, Pura Tanah Lot, is a popular tourist spot. In Balinese, Tanah Lot means “Land [in the] Sea” and is only 20 kilometers Northwest of Denpasar. The shrine on this beautiful land is to pay respect to the energy of the Bali sea gods. The cliff is also home to various restaurants and provides you with a very pulchritudinous look at the endless sea ahead of the cliff.

Location – Beraban, Kediri, Tebanan Regency, Bali Timings – 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Festivals in July in Bali

As July is the peak month for tourists coming to Bali, it is no surprise that it is also the month when many festivals take place in Bali, which are celebrated with a lot of pomp and show.

4. Bali Kite Festival

July sees the sky of Bali fill up with kites, which is the month when the Bali Kite Festival is celebrated. Hundreds and Thousands of kites soar up in the sky, making it seem like it is the same color as that of a painter’s palette and not solely blue. While some kites are surely small, most are relatively large and are found in various shapes. This festival is celebrated to please the harvest gods. This festival happens over several days as July is the month when winds pick up speed. Throughout the festival, many people also compete to win prizes and get a piece of the sky to fly their kites in.

5. Galungan

This 10-day festival is celebrated in the last week of July and carries into the first week of August. This festival is celebrated to honor one God above all – called Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa locally – also called The Inconceivable. This is celebrated in the time believed by Balinese people to be the time when spirits roamed the Earth. These spirits show warm welcome by the people through their customs in temples and homes. Throughout this festival, a man dressed as Barong – a mythical beast symbolizing divine protection – carries out an exorcism ceremony at night called the Ngelawang. The Barong’s act of roaming is considered to be an act of maintaining the balance between good and evil.

Things to carry to July in Bali

In July, Bali is windy and balmy but not very hot. Hence, it is advisable to carry enough SPF and other lotions in your suitcase to use on a regular sunny day. Also, to enjoy the vacation to the maximum, keep light clothing and a good pair of sunglasses to protect yourself from heat. In addition, it would be a great idea to keep an umbrella to protect yourself in case of a sudden shower. Remember that as July is relatively warmer in Bali, water activities are a great idea, and to do that, you should keep relevant swimwear. So, what are you waiting for? Book your tickets to go to Bali in July to have the time of your life!

Bali Travel Guide for First-Timers [Updated July 2023!]

We’ve created this updated Bali Travel Guide for First-Timers, building upon our previous blog post on “ What to Know Before Traveling to Bali for First Timers. Bali has so much to offer. It has something for everyone: breathtaking landscapes, stunning beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

As first-time visitors to Bali, having questions and uncertainties about local customs and etiquette is natural. With the latest information as of July 2023, this guide aims to provide you with all the essential information you need to ensure a smooth journey through this remarkable island.

First time in Bali? Check Here for our 5 Top Things To Do In Bali

and Click Here for our Bali Bucket List

Currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Approximately IDR 15,000 to USD 1 (as of July 2023).

Language: Bahasa Indonesia. English is widely spoken in tourist areas.

Visas Etc   (Updated with new July 2023 visa and entry requirements!) : Travelers from 92 countries can still obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for a stay of up to 30 days, with an option for a one-time extension at the local immigration office in Kuta (for a fee). It’s important to note that eligibility for the VOA is based on your nationality (passport), not your country of origin. Here are some key details regarding the VOA and VEA:

• Visa on Arrival (VOA) costs IDR500,000 per person (applies to adults and children). There are two options: pay on arrival or apply and pay online from 14 days up to 48 hours before arrival.
• A passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of your visit is required.
• Vaccination certificates are not required for entry into Bali.
• Visa Exemption Arrangement (VEA) is free and only applicable to 10 specific countries, allowing a stay of up to 30 days.

For the VOA and VEA list of countries, click here .

Additionally, travelers need to fill in the e-declaration Customs form . After submitting the form, a QR code will be generated. Please remember to take a screenshot of the QR code because you will need to present it to customs officers. They will scan the QR code before allowing you to proceed.

From our recent experience, there’s no longer a physical entry card to fill out. It’s all about going through immigration and biometrics now. However, here’s the catch: we noticed a bit of chaos upon arrival. The Visa on Arrival (VOA) counters weren’t marked, and there were no signs to guide us. So, we advise asking about the VOA and getting it sorted before joining the immigration queue.

In this Bali travel guide for first timers, our pro tip is to fill in the e-declaration customs form on your phone instead of queuing up. Trust us; there’s usually a massive jam that can consume much time. We learned this the hard way during our immigration and customs journey, which took around 1.5 hours due to the long lines and confusion.

Vaccinations: No specific vaccinations are required to enter Bali, but it’s recommended to be up to date on routine vaccines. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Religion: Bali is predominantly Hindu, while the rest of Indonesia is primarily Muslim. Balinese Hinduism has unique customs and traditions, heavily influencing the island’s culture.

Cultural Festivals: Nyepi, also known as the “Day of Silence,” is observed on the Saka new year according to the Balinese calendar. This sacred day is dedicated to self-reflection and spiritual introspection. The Balinese people adhere to specific restrictions from 6 am to 6 am the following day to honor the occasion.

These restrictions encompass refraining from lighting fires and keeping lights low, abstaining from work and entertainment, avoiding travel, and, for some individuals, practicing complete silence and fasting.

Best time to go: April to October

Bali has a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season (April to October) and the wet season (November to March). The dry season is generally considered the best time to visit, with less rainfall and lower humidity. Temperatures range between 25°C to 35°C year-round.

HEALTH, SAFETY, AND LAWS

Bali is generally a safe destination for travelers. However, petty theft and pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded tourist areas. Keep an eye on your belongings, avoid displaying expensive items, and use hotel safes for valuable possessions.

Take basic safety precautions such as avoiding isolated or poorly lit areas at night, using reliable transportation, and being cautious with your belongings. If renting a scooter, wear a helmet, follow traffic rules, and be mindful of your surroundings.

Tap water in Bali is not safe for drinking. Stick to bottled water and avoid ice in drinks from street vendors. Be cautious with food from street stalls and choose reputable restaurants for hygienic meals.

Bali offers various culinary delights, from traditional Balinese cuisine to international dishes. The food hygiene standards are generally good in established restaurants and resorts. However, please be careful when eating street food and make sure it is freshly cooked and served hot. Grabfood is generally accessible throughout Bali.

Indonesia has strict drug laws, and possession of drugs can lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment or even the death penalty. Avoid involvement with drugs in any form.

Cash, Card, ATMs

The local currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Cash is widely accepted, especially in smaller establishments and regional markets. Credit cards are accepted in hotels, upscale restaurants, and larger establishments. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas, allowing you to withdraw cash in local currency.

Tipping is not expected in Bali, but it is appreciated for exceptional service. Some upscale restaurants and hotels may include a service charge, but it’s optional in smaller establishments.

Bargaining is expected in Bali, especially in markets and smaller shops. Feel free to negotiate the price, but remember to do so respectfully and with a friendly attitude.  

TOP ATTRACTIONS – THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Some of the must-visit places we would like to highlight in our Bali travel guide for first timers:

• Ubud ( Check out our Top Instagrammable Places in Ubud! )
• Tanah Lot Temple 
• Uluwatu Temple
• Mount Batur
• Tegalalang Rice Terraces
• Temples ( Read our 10 Must-See Temples in Bali! )
• Seminyak Beach

Getting from the Airport to your Hotel

Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport, is the main gateway to Bali. Taxis are readily available at the airport, and it’s recommended to use official airport taxis or reputable transportation services. Negotiate the fare before getting in the cab, or consider booking a transfer in advance.

GrabCar / Taxi

This is one of the most important Bali travel guide for first timers! When it comes to using Grab in Bali, it’s to note that not all areas permit ride-sharing services. This includes airport pickups, Ubud, Canggu, and certain spots in Seminyak. So, if you’re planning a day trip via Grab, please check if the specific area allows for Grab pickups. If it doesn’t, booking a car for your day trip is better to ensure a reliable return.

While local taxis are available, bargaining can be challenging, especially during peak travel times or when it’s raining, and there’s a high influx of tourists.

Car / Scooter Rental

Renting a car or scooter is a popular option for exploring Bali independently. Ensure you have a valid driver’s license and familiarize yourself with local traffic rules. Be cautious when driving, especially on busy roads, and wear helmets if riding a scooter.

Private Drivers / Tours

Hiring a private driver or joining guided tours is convenient for exploring Bali’s attractions. You can arrange customized itineraries and have a local expert to guide you. Check out our recommended 5-day Bali itinerary !

CULTURAL ETIQUETTE AND CUSTOMS IN MALAYSIA

Respect for Balinese Customs and Traditions

Bali is deeply rooted in its Hindu traditions and customs—respect Balinese culture by dressing modestly when visiting temples or participating in religious ceremonies. Cover your shoulders and wear a sarong around your waist. Avoid pointing with your feet or touching people’s heads; it is disrespectful.

Temple Etiquette

When entering temples, remove your shoes before stepping onto the temple grounds. Follow the instructions of the temple staff and maintain a respectful demeanor. Do not climb on sacred structures or disturb offerings.

Balinese Offerings

You will often come across small offerings, called canang sari, placed on the ground or in front of shops and homes. Avoid stepping on them; if you accidentally encounter one, try not to disturb it.

Balinese Dances and Performances

Witnessing traditional Balinese dances is a must-do experience. During performances, maintain a quiet and respectful atmosphere. Avoid using flash photography, which can disrupt the dancers and affect the ambiance.

These are things to know when traveling to Bali for the first time. Remember to embrace the local culture, be mindful of your surroundings, and enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the island. Safe travels, and we hope you enjoy our Bali travel guide for first timers!

Wishing you magical experiences,

Sue + Renesh

• The Ultimate Bali Travel Guide for First Timers

To be honest with you I knew almost nothing about Bali before I visited. Sure, I’ve seen a million pictures of this dream island, I knew that every proper Instagrammer had been there at least once and I saw Eat, Pray, Love, but that was it.

If you are like me, I have some good news for you: this Bali travel guide for first-timers is everything you’re gonna need! In this post, I put together everything you need to know if you are traveling to Bali for the first time. So let’s dive in!

* Disclosure: This post contains a few affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through my link. *

Table of Contents

Bali is located in the Indian Ocean, it’s by far the most famous of the more than 17,000 islands of Indonesia. The island sits east of Java (the most populous island in the world) and west of Lombok.

I know it seems like a tiny island on the map but actually, Bali is pretty big: the distance is 145 km from west to east and 85 km from north to south. Apart from the main island, the Nusa Islands (Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida) also belong to Bali.

Bali is home to more than 4.3 million people. About 90% of the population are Balinese, the other ethnic groups are Javanese, Baliaga, and Madurese.

The official language is Indonesian, but many people use the Balinese language in everyday life. English is widely used as well due to the high level of tourism.

Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world, accounting for 13% of the world’s total Muslims. One of the most interesting facts about Bali is that it’s the only exception, as the island is the only Hindu island in Indonesia.

Actually, this is not the standard Hindu religion, it’s rather a Balinese Hinduism: it’s kind of a mixture of local beliefs and Hindu influences.

Balinese people live in a magic world of people, spirits, gods, and demons. I was so surprised to see how deeply religious they are! There are over 20,000 temples in Bali and you can’t go anywhere without seeing countless offerings to the gods and spirits.

They seriously believe in karma, that life is governed by a system of cause and effect, action, and reaction. Their religion and culture are really interesting so try to learn about them as much as you can while you are there!

Although Bali used to have a free visa if you were visiting for less than 30 days, unfortunately, it’s no longer available.

They have a new Visa on Arrival (VoA) in place, and more than 90 countries can apply for this type of visa. In case you are coming from another country, you will need to apply for a different visa so make sure to check this in advance.

This new VoA costs 500,000 IDR ($33 US) and you can stay with this on the island for a maximum of 30 days. The visa can be extended once for another 30 days (this has an additional cost of course).

You can purchase the visa online in advance which I would strongly recommend. One thing you need to be aware of is that the visa must be used within 90 days from the date of issue, so don’t buy it earlier than 3 months from your travel date. Also, make sure to only purchase from the official website !

Don’t worry, if you can’t buy the visa online (the website doesn’t always work properly), you will still be able to do it at the airport after arrival. You’ll just have to wait in line first for the visa before proceeding to immigration.

Money in Bali

The official local currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR or Rp). The amounts in rupiah are usually very large because of all the zeros. $1 US is around 15,200 IDR.

Therefore the prices are often given with the thousands implied and left off of the end. So when someone says “one hundred”, they most likely mean 100,000 IDR (around $6.5 US).

Cash is the king in Bali, therefore you always need to carry around some cash in your pocket. You can generally pay with credit cards at most of the hotels and cafes in the urban area but you will need cash for everything else.

The largest denomination is the 100,000 IDR banknote so your wallet will always be stuffed with a lot of banknotes. Make sure you don’t bring your tiniest wallet with you!

You can easily find ATMs in the popular travel hubs but once you are out you will have a hard time finding a machine in the countryside. So it’s better to stack up on cash while you are in a more touristy area.

ATMs typically charge you a transaction fee for every transaction. Fortunately, it’s not that much but the bad news is that there is a daily withdrawal limit.

It can be different depending on what kind of ATM you use but it’s usually between 1.5-2.5 million IDR (around $100-170 US). So basically you have to pick up cash from an ATM almost every day (or you can use different credit cards if you have more).

Important note: Some ATMs deliver your cash first and your credit card after. If you are coming from a place that it’s the other way around you have to pay attention not to leave your card in the machine. Unfortunately, we managed to lose a credit card, most likely for this reason. So learn from our mistakes!

Of course, you can exchange all the major currencies into rupiahs at the airport or banks but you always have to pay a commission fee and the exchange rates are not always in your favor. Generally using an ATM is a better option but it’s really up to you.

Technically US dollars are not accepted in Indonesia, however, you can almost always use them in reality. You will always have to pay more in dollars (because you obviously can’t pay $1.2 US so you will pay 2), but it’s good to have a plan B if you accidentally run out of rupiahs.

Best Time to Visit Bali

Bali is located a few degrees south of the equator, therefore it has a tropical climate all year around. It means that the weather is always hot and humid and there are only two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.

Generally, the rainy season is between November and March but it can vary a bit from year to year. During this time it usually rains a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon so you can still have some rain-free hours during the day if you are lucky.

Nevertheless, I still wouldn’t recommend this period for traveling especially if you’re traveling to Bali for the first time.

Bali is always busy during holidays like Easter or Christmas. July and August are usually crowded too because of the national school holidays in Indonesia. So if you’re not a fan of mass tourism I would avoid these periods as well.

Based on all this, the best time to visit is May, June, or September. You will have pleasant weather with almost no rain and the beaches and famous sites will not be that crowded either.

October can still be a good time, we also visited at the end of October. We were really lucky with the weather because it only rained on our last day. On the other hand, our driver said that this time last year it was constantly raining all day long and it didn’t stop for days. So be careful with October, it can really be a hit or miss.

How Much Time Do You Need to Spend in Bali

Bali is one of the most breathtaking dream destinations in the world and you can easily spend months on the island without ever getting bored. If you’re traveling to Bali for the first time, it’s best to spend at least 2 weeks in Bali to be able to properly explore the island.

When we visited Bali for the first time, we spent 8 days on the island and it felt really short. We managed to cover all the famous sites but in exchange, we spent almost no time at the beach and we were extremely tired at the end. Needless to say, it was totally worth it!

How much time you need to spend in Bali also depends on what you want to see and do. If you are only looking for beautiful beaches and you wish to relax all day long, one week could be enough.

However, there are so many wonderful sites to explore and various activities to do, that you will need at least 2 weeks if you really want to see the best of Bali.

Luckily the cost of living in Bali is totally budget-friendly so if your time allows or if you’re a digital nomad, you can even make it your base for a few months.

Transportation in Bali

Public transportation.

Public transportation is basically non-existent in Bali. All right, this is not exactly true: there are some public minibuses called bemo. If you are in a really adventurous mode and you wanna try getting around like a local you can opt for a ride. But for real transportation, I wouldn’t consider this as an option.

Renting a bicycle is possible but Bali is far too big for biking around. However, if you wanna explore the countryside close to your accommodation it can be a great way to get around.

The cheapest and most popular way of transportation is renting a scooter. However, if you don’t have experience in scooter riding I wouldn’t recommend it.

Why? Because the traffic is crazy! Cars, scooters, chickens, dogs, all share the same lane and they are coming from every direction possible. No matter where you go, the streets are always full of scooters and the roads are often in a really bad condition.

Scooter accidents are not exceptional and trust me, you don’t want to spend your holiday lying in the hospital.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against scooters at all. I’m just saying you have to be really, really prepared and have a ton of experience before trying to get around this way. If you’re planning to drive a scooter, you might be interested in reading a comprehensive guide about scooter rental in Bali !

And please don’t forget about travel insurance! Unfortunately, accidents can happen anytime and it’s better to be prepared for that. After many hours of research, I decided to choose SafetyWing and I can honestly recommend them!

You can find a taxi practically anywhere and it works the same way as it does in Europe or America. In Bali, almost everyone is a taxi driver. Seriously. You will be constantly asked by the locals where are you headed and whether if you will need a ride. Everyone will be glad to take you anywhere.

There are two types of taxis in Bali: the Bluebird taxis and the rest. The Bluebird taxis always go by the meter and they are safe to use. They even have their own app which you can download and after registration, you can summon a taxi as you please.

The non-Bluebird taxis on the other hand are often corrupt and they usually play dirty tricks with the tourists, like claiming to have a broken meter or taking you on a long road to pay more.

Private driver

I think having a private driver in Bali is the best option ever, especially it will be your first time in Bali and you don’t have any experience in scooter riding. It is generally more expensive than renting a scooter but in exchange, it takes away all the stress and you don’t have to worry about transportation during your stay.

We also decided to hire a private driver and I’m so glad we did! I received a recommendation from another Hungarian girl and that’s how we found Putu . He is the sweetest guy ever!

I contacted him while we were still at home. As I mentioned before I’m a big planner so I’ve already planned most of our itinerary before we first spoke.

Therefore we only needed to finalize the program I had in mind and he helped me organize every little detail. So by the time we arrived in Bali we already had a perfect itinerary and everything was taken care of.

How does it work in real life?

To be honest I had no clue how does it work in real-life and I received many questions about it so I will share my experience. When we arrived at the airport Putu was already there, waiting for us. He took us to our hotel (since it was already late in the afternoon) and we agreed on which time he should pick us up the next day.

The next morning he picked us up as we agreed and from that point, he was always with us until he took us back to the hotel at the end of the day. He drove us from location to location and while we were away exploring he waited for us in the car or spent the time with other drivers (who were waiting for their clients as well).

Yes, even when we were out for hours! Sometimes he even joined us in exploring the area so he could tell us stories about the place and Balinese life in general.

He was really flexible with the timing as well. We wanted to do a lot of sunrise tours so he usually picked us up very early. And by that, I mean very, very early.

Like 1 am or 3 am. Yes, you’ve read it right! (I know, you must think I’m crazy. Wait until you see my sunrise pictures!) The only general rule is that they don’t work more than 14 hours a day which is totally understandable.

Long story short, I really can’t recommend enough to have a private driver. Everything was just so perfect!

What to Wear in Bali

Despite Bali being a very religious island, there is no strict dress code for tourists. The only exceptions are the religious sites where you always have to wear a sarong (and a scarf if your shoulders are not covered by your clothes). Don’t worry, if you don’t own a sarong you can always rent it for a small amount of money at every religious site.

As I mentioned before, the weather in Bali is always hot and humid. Therefore you will most likely stroll around in shorts and T-shirts or dresses. Try to pack lightweight cotton and loose clothes! A beach hat or baseball cap is also a good idea to protect your head from the sun.

Regarding shoes, you can almost always wear flip-flops or sandals. But having a comfy sneaker in your suitcase is a huge bonus if you wanna go for a hike. If you plan to hike Mount Batur you should prepare with some warm clothes too!

I know it sounds weird to pack a jacket and a warmer sweater for Bali, but trust me, you’re gonna need it.

Best Places to Visit in Bali + Where to Stay in Bali

There are just so many things do to and see in Bali that I can go on and on for hours without ever repeating myself. Since this is a Bali travel guide for first-timers I will give you a rough overview of the different areas of Bali including the best places to visit and the best places to stay in each area.

The southern side of Bali is the most touristy area on the island. Denpasar (the capital city of Bali) is located here together with the Ngurah Rai International Airport. South Bali is packed with beautiful beaches, posh cafes, fancy restaurants, and cool party places.

If you’re a foodie like me, you will love this list of the  best cafes in Canggu ! Bali is famous for its sunsets as well and the southern part is one of the best areas to find the best sunsets in Bali .

Best places to visit in South Bali: Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot, Nyangnyang Beach, Nusa Dua Beach, Kuta Beach, Cabina Bali

Where to stay in South Bali

As I mentioned before the southern side of the island is the most touristy area so you will find a wide range of hotels to choose from. If you’re traveling to Bali for the first time I would recommend staying at either Seminyak or Kuta but Canggu , Uluwatu and Jimbaran could be a great option as well.

Best places to stay in Seminyak

LUXURY – The Legian Seminyak, Bali

This beachfront hotel offers beautiful rooms in a scenic setting as you’ll get stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The Legian Seminyak also has plenty of fantastic facilities including a three-tiered swimming pool, an on-site restaurant, and a fitness center.

MID-RANGE – Montigo Resorts Seminyak

Montigo Resorts is situated right next to Potato Head Beach Club so is in a great location. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the center of Seminyak, and there are two swimming pools on-site as well as a spa & wellness center. Not only that but Montigo Resorts also has a bar and fitness center

BUDGET – Bali Ayu Hotel & Villas

Bali Ayu Hotel & Villas is set in a great location as it’s just a 4-minute walk from the beach and it’s close to Petitenget Street. The rooms are very budget-friendly, and each one is spacious and features a balcony. Breakfast is available at the property, and there are two swimming pools.

Best places to stay in Kuta

LUXURY – The Anvaya Beach Resort Bali

This beachfront 5-star hotel is situated close to popular attractions within Kuta including Waterbom Bali and the Discovery Shopping Mall. With a large swimming pool, landscaped tropical gardens, and a spa & wellness center – this place has plenty to offer. There are also several restaurants on-site, a pool bar, and a private beach area.

MID-RANGE – Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel

Located right next to Discovery Shopping Mall and the coast, this hotel is one of the best mid-range accommodation options in Kuta. There are plenty of fantastic facilities too including two swimming pools, a spa & wellness center, and a fitness center. There’s also a variety of room options and many of them offer views of the ocean.

BUDGET – The Kana Kuta Hotel

If you’re looking for budget-friendly accommodation then make sure you check out the Kana Kuta Hotel. With an outdoor swimming pool, an on-site restaurant, and a fitness center, there are lots of amenities available for guests. All the rooms are spacious too and feature air conditioning, a seating area, and an ensuite bathroom.

Central Bali

The central area is the cultural heart of Bali and it is also the most picturesque side of the island. Central Bali is home to many beautiful temples, deep river gorges, unbelievably green rice terraces, and gorgeous waterfalls.

Best places to visit in Central Bali: Ubud Monkey Forest, Campuhan Ridge Walk, Tegalalang rice terraces, Jatiluwih rice terraces, Pura Tirta Empul, Tegenungan waterfall, Tukad Cepung waterfall , Kanto Lampo waterfall

Where to stay in Central Bali

If you want to explore the best places in Central Bali I recommend staying in Ubud. Ubud is the heart of Central Bali with many hotels to choose from and it’s packed with amazing restaurants and bars as well, so it’s worth spending at least 3 days in Ubud .

Below you can find some of the best hotels to stay in Ubud. If you’re looking for something more special, check out these private pool villas in Ubud or the best bamboo houses in Bali around the city.

Best places to stay in Ubud

LUXURY – Kamandalu Ubud

Kamandalu Ubud is one of the most luxurious hotels on the island. Offering stunning views of the Petanu River and the surrounding forest, this place is the best luxury stay in Ubud. The rooms are inspired by traditional Balinese decor and most units feature a daybed and a private pool.

MID-RANGE – The Udaya Resorts and Spa

This place has a lot to offer with striking views, spacious suites, and fantastic facilities. Guests will benefit from a swimming pool, a spa & wellness center, and a restaurant that serves delicious Indonesian dishes.

BUDGET – Gita Maha Ubud Hotel by Mahaputra

Ubud is full of budget-friendly accommodation options but not many are as beautiful as this place! Gita Maha Ubud Hotel is situated just a 5-minute drive from the Royal Palace and offers an outdoor swimming pool and an on-site restaurant. Each room at this hotel is incredibly spacious too, and many of them feature a private balcony.

East Bali is dominated by the largest volcano on the island: Mount Agung. This is a very active volcano with constant eruptions, therefore it is not allowed to visit.

But its little brother, Mount Batur (who is also an active volcano) is still safe and open for hiking. The nearby area is really beautiful and it is home to some of the island’s oldest villages.

Best places to visit in East Bali: Mount Agung, Mount Batur, Pura Luhur Lempuyang (Gate of Heaven), Tirta Gangga Royal Water Garden

Where to stay in East Bali

If you are traveling to Bali for the first time I would recommend you to stay either in South or Central Bali instead of East Bali. There are much more things to do in those areas and you can easily do some day trips from there to visit the best tourist spots in the east.

However, if you want to have a more unique Bali experience staying in East Bali can be great for you! You will find many amazing hotels in the area, the best places to stay are either Candidasa (close to the beach) or Sidemen (more inland with an amazing view over the volcanos).

If you’re looking for a more unique stay, you can also find the many magical bamboo houses in Bali , especially in this part of the island.

Best places to stay in Sidemen

LUXURY – Wapa di Ume Sidemen

If you’re looking for a luxurious getaway, then stay at Wapa di Ume Sidemen. You’ll benefit from a variety of fantastic facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, an on-site restaurant, and a bar. There’s also a garden and terrace area, and bicycles are free to use. 

MID-RANGE – Alamdhari Resort and Spa

With an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the lush forests, an on-site restaurant, and a bar – Alamdhari Resort and Spa has a lot to offer guests. Breakfast is included with your stay too, and there’s a garden area where you can relax. The rooms here are stunning and many of them feature a private balcony with amazing views.

BUDGET – Sawah Indah Villa

Sawah Indah Villa is just a 30-minute drive from Tirta Gangga and is surrounded by lush rice terraces and forested mountains. Offering an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant, and spa treatments this hotel has everything you could need and more! The staff at the hotel can also help with vehicle rentals and organizing excursions.

Best places to stay in Candidasa

LUXURY – Candi Beach Resort & Spa

Candi Beach Resort & Spa is located along a private beach and offers three swimming pools, a variety of water sports, and a spa & wellness center. There are also several on-site restaurants so you’ll have plenty of dining options. If that’s not enough to convince you, this hotel has two bars and a tour desk that can help with excursions.

MID-RANGE – Villa Barong

Villa Barong is just a 5-minute walk from the beach and is nestled within landscaped gardens and coconut trees. There are several villas available at the property and each one offers a private pool, a modern kitchen, and a terrace area. The villas sleep up to four people so are a great option for groups and small families.

BUDGET – Rama Shinta Hotel Candidasa

This is one of the best budget-friendly accommodation options in Candidasa. Set within tropical gardens, this hotel has plenty to offer with excellent facilities and spacious rooms. Guests will benefit from an outdoor pool, an open-air restaurant, and a bar during their stay too! Staff at the hotel can also help arrange rentals and excursions.

The northern side of Bali is really different from the rest of the island. The climate is more foggy and rainy, therefore you can see many cloudy lakes, misty mountains, and some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali you’ll ever see.

Best places to visit in North Bali: Munduk Moding Plantation, Wanagiri Hidden Hill, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, Banyumala twin waterfalls, Sekumpul waterfall , Handara gate

Where to stay in North Bali

If you want to explore all the beauty the northern part of the island has to offer I recommend staying at least one night in Munduk ! It will be a totally different feeling to stay there compared to the rest of the island and the area is really beautiful too.

Best places to stay in Munduk

LUXURY – Munduk Moding Plantation Nature Resort & Spa

Munduk Moding Plantation is easily one of the most beautiful hotels in Bali. It’s famous for its infinity pool that offers striking views of the surrounding rice terraces and mountains. There are also plenty of other facilities at the hotel including an on-site restaurant, a spa & wellness center, and a bar.

MID-RANGE – Nadira Bali Villa

If you’re looking for mid-range accommodation in Munduk then make sure you check out Nadira Bali Villa. With an outdoor swimming pool, a sun terrace, and an on-site restaurant – this place has so much to offer. The villas and suites are also stunning and many of them offer superb views of the surrounding mountains.

BUDGET – Atres Villa

Atres Villa is just a 20-minute drive from Munduk Waterfall so is set in a great location to explore the area. This hotel also has lots of excellent facilities including an outdoor pool, a spa & wellness center, and a bar. However, the highlight of this place has to be the surrounding rice terraces!

Nusa Islands

Local people say that the Nusa Islands (Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Penida) are the perfect place to see what Bali was like 20 years ago before it became a tourist hotspot.

And it’s really true: the Nusa Islands have such a raw beauty and they are (mostly) still untouched and not packed with tourists. If you’re planning to visit the Nusa Islands, you might be interested in reading my Perfect Nusa Islands Itinerary as well!

Best places to visit in the Nusa Islands: Kelingking Beach , Rumah Pohon treehouse, Peguyangan Waterfall , Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach, Devil’s Tear, Blue Lagoon

Where to stay in the Nusa islands

Most people choose to stay on Nusa Lembongan , however, I recommend staying on Nusa Penida . Nusa Penida is the biggest and most developed of the three Nusa Islands and there are so many places to visit there that you’re gonna need the most time for this island.

Best places to stay in Nusa Penida

LUXURY – Adiwana Warnakali Resort

Adiwana Warnakali Resort in Nusa Penida provides adults-only accommodation with a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, and a bar. Each accommodation at the 4-star resort has mountain views, and guests can enjoy access to a sun terrace.

MID-RANGE – Semabu Hills Hotel Nusa Penida

Perched on the quiet hills of Nusa Penida, this hotel offers sweeping views of the island and the sea beyond. Guests can take advantage of the infinity pool or try traditional meals at the on-site Asian restaurant.

BUDGET – Surya Maha Bungallo

For a budget-friendly stay in Nusa Penida, take a look at Surya Maha Bungallo. Boasting a lush garden with a stunning outdoor pool, the property offers double or twin rooms either with a garden or pool view. A daily continental breakfast is also available.

Breakfast in the pool? We’re in! 😉 Thanks for all of the great details! Bali somehow has not made it off of our Bucket List. Soon, though, and this is helpful!

Oh Bali is definitely the most magical place I’ve ever been to! I hope you can thick it off of your bucket list really soon 🙂

I’ve been daydreaming of Bali since Eat, Pray,Love! YouR beautiful photos have given me some serious wanderlust for the weekend! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Anna! I really love that movie and everything it represents! Bali is still my favorite place on Earth and can’t wait to go back soon 🙂

Great and detailed guide, thanks, I will save it for future! Bali looks like a great escape from the chilly winter in Europe

Thank you Maria! Yes it definitely is 🙂 I’m also planning to go back soon, can’t wait!!

Just stunning! I so want to go to Bali and your pictures make me want to book a plane ticket right now! Love your comprehensive guide and all of your tips & hints!! They will definitely come in handy when I finally get to go 🙂

Your photos are incredible! This is extremely informative! I hope to be able to visit Bali soon, and use all of your useful tips.

Thank you so much! Bali is so photogenic, you simply can’t make a bad photo in Bali 🙂 I really hope you will be able to visit soon!

This is super useful and I just know someone heading over there, I will recommend reading this post. I have a love-hate relationship with Bali but I´m sure there are wonderful hidden corners of the island I had not yet discovered, so might be back one day. Thanks for sharing this informative post, x

Thank you so much for sharing it! Yeah I really get why you have a love-hate relationship with Bali, that’s why I usually try to wake up early in the morning and explore the places without the crowds or go to off the beaten path spots. It feels so much different this way! 🙂

Literally the best Bali Guide I have read! So much information and now I can plan my trip accordingly!

Thank you so much Dana! 🙂

O wow I wish I’d had this guide before my first trip to Bali! So well written, thank you for sharing! I will definitely refer back to this guide for my next trip 🙂

Thank you Ellie! Bali is really such a wonderful place 🙂

This is such a great guide and I love your writing style! Definitely saving this for a future trip and I love your advice about a driver!

Thank you so much Linnea, I’m so happy you liked it! 🙂

Bali looks so fun! Really hoping to visit there sometime this year ? love your photos!

Thank you Jen! Bali is such a wonderful place, I can only recommend!

Love this! Especially as I’m in Bali now! So detailed and helpful x

Aww thank you so much! I’m also in Bali now, love this island so much! 🙂

How much did you pay the driver each day to stay with you for the whole day? Or how much did you end up paying him in total and for how many days? I’m curious because I might do that too when I visit! It’s a great idea!

We typically paid around 600-800k IDR (42-56 USD) for one day depending on how far did we go from our hotel. It was a price per car so it would have been the same for 4 people but we were just the 2 of us. We were there first in October 2018 so these are the prices from that time. When we visited again in March 2020 we didn’t go for a trip so I don’t know the exact prices now but you can always ask our driver, Putu 🙂

Thank you! I am wanting to visit Bali for the first time this year and your guide is awesome!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Julie! I hope your Bali trip will be amazing!

Thank you for this guide. Im celebrating my birthday in Bali and reading your blog is helping me to plan better. I am flying from Miami to Bali and the best deal its to one stop in Dubai for 7 hours. Do you happened to have a recommendation of what to do in Dubai for 7 hours? or better yet do you recommended a better route to get to Bali from the US? Thank you!

Hey! First of all, thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙂 Dubai is the biggest hub for travelers heading to Southeast Asia so I think that’s a great route. Honestly, since you are flying internationally, I’m not sure I would leave the airport. You need to be there at least 2-3 hours before your flight to Bali departs which leaves you a lot less time to explore, plus you need to stay on top of every regulation to be able to enter Dubai. That being said, since DXB is only a 15-minute drive from the Burj Khalifa, I’m sure I would pick that! You can go up to the top, or just stroll around the tower. You can also see the Dubai Fountain, the Wings of Mexico, and the Dubai Mall too because they are all in one place. Happy travels!

Thanks for the exhaustive guide. The longing to see this Paradise on Earth had been hidden deep in my heart for years. Might materialize this December when going to Thailand to attend a wedding. However, I am not so young or mobile now and wanted to ask you many many questions on how I should make the most of this long cherished dream come true. For instance, is there a lot of walking involved? What about people with limited mobility? Is there any way to talk to you or chat with you? How many days to keep? Will I be able to do it?? Thanks so much.

Hey! To be honest, Bali is not really a good place for people with limited mobility. For instance, most of the time there is no pedestrian walkway by the streets, most waterfalls are hidden deep inside a jungle and some beaches are also only reachable via stairs. That being said, you can still visit some incredible places that are easier to reach but you’ll definitely need to let go of many places. I recommend hiring a driver who can take care of your transportation and he can also help with questions about specific attractions.

hi , thank you sooo much for a very detail explaination. i am planning to visit bali in coming november. i am having few queries pls let me know 1. can i take my 3 yrs old child along with my wife? is it ok to travel with kid ? 2. if i planned to stay in candidisa – east bali — will it be long to go other places of bali ? will the travel time will be more ? 3. in november ending is it ok to travel ? u mentioned its rainy – is it rainy whole day ? 4. i am from india – can u give some more detail about currency usuage with indian rupees ?

Hey! Yes, you can take your kid, many people travel to Bali as a family holiday so it will be all good 🙂 Candidasa is quite far away from the main Bali attractions, it’s a great base to explore the east part of the island but I would recommend diving your time between Candidasa and one/two more central locations. Well, November is technically the start of the rainy season but it’s different each year so nobody can tell you how it will be this year. Normally it only rains a few times a day but it’s really a draw of luck. Sorry, I don’t have any experience with Indian rupees. Hope you will have an amazing trip!

Hi Your article for 1st timer is very useful. I am going in June 2023 as a 1st timer. I like the beach, so I will be staying in the southern part. I am thinking to hire a private guide for this trip as I prefer that way. My stay is about 5 days. Do you have any recommendation for me. If you have any suggestion for me, I really welcome to hear from you. Thank you

Hi Danny! I would recommend getting in touch with Putu, he works as a private driver on Bali and he is amazing! Here’s his Instagram where you can reach him: https://www.instagram.com/bali_travel_monkey/

Thank you Kriszti for the informative travel guide to Bali and for sharing amazing photos as well. Really helpful tips specially for first time travellers with family. I wonder if possible for you to share the contact details of Putu, the private driver you hired during your stay in Bali. I am planned to spend my holidays with my family in Bali next month. Thank you.

Hi Chona! Sure, you can find him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bali_travel_monkey/

hello ms kriszti,

thank you for sharing all these travel guides for first timers, its truly very helpful; my friend ( PWD ) is going to bali this oct and we plan to hire a driver . do you still have contact with mr PUTU or any one you can recommend.

Bali In July 2023: Things To Do, Weather & Temperature

What are the best things to do in Bali in July? What is the weather like in Bali in July? What are some tips for traveling to Bali in July?

When it comes to beauty, Bali is at its finest in July.

The sea is warm, the air is dry, and there are plenty of people surfing, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the beaches.

While it’s the ideal time to trek one of the volcanoes, see the many temples, and peruse the vibrant street markets, July is high season, so it may get busy and pricey.

However, it won’t let you down if you’re looking for a trip with fantastic weather and much to do.

If you’re a beach fan, this island is like the idyllic paradise you see in movies, except here you get to live it in real life.

Unlike many popular tourist locations, Bali enjoys a tropical climate throughout the year making Bali’s summer temps easier to visit the sites.

There are constantly festivals going on in Bali, and you can always find a place on your calendar for more of them in addition to the well-known ones like the Kite Festival, Arts Festival, and Sustainable Food Festival.

Bali is ideal to visit in July since there are so many fantastic things to do that are only available during the summer.

You don’t need to worry about whether July is a suitable time for you to visit Bali because this well-known location is a terrific choice all year round, and this month is also just right for doing so!

Table of Contents

Get to know Bali

Bali’s reputation for beach life and backpacking precedes it as one of Indonesia’s most well-known travel destinations.

While the south is home to many stunning, yet crowded beaches and castaway bars, the north and east are home to tranquil fishing communities and untamed volcanoes, while the middle is home to a mixture of temples, rice terraces, and retreats.

There is much to be gained by deviating from Bali’s more traveled roads, especially when you consider the allure of adventure activities, water sports, and the opportunity to learn more about the island’s culture.

Bali has a plethora of adventures.

Although the pulsating center of Bali, bohemian Ubud, is worth a visit, there are other lesser-known jewels to see when you want to escape the crowds.

Sidemen, a more tranquil relative of Ubud, is overshadowed by the beautiful Mount Agung.

You can take a stroll amongst rice terraces, cool yourself in a waterfall pool, and observe rural life in action.

Bali has a strong attraction for those who want to venture out and discover magnificent scenery, so when you’re there, take some time to stop and breathe in the beauty that this island offers!

Places to visit and things to do in Bali in July

Balinese natural beauty never ceases to astound, whether it’s the mesmerizing panoramic vistas of rice terraces at Tegalalang or seeing Bali’s magnificent old temples with amazing architecture.

Because it has something to offer any visitor seeking a great holiday, Bali is a favorite among tourists.

Every tourist, from thrill seekers to spiritual yogis, is satisfied by it.

Choosing the best sights and experiences to have when visiting Bali might be challenging because the island is packed with activities and attractions.

However, we’ve compiled a list of some of the top attractions and activities to do in Bali in July, so keep reading to learn more about each of them!

Places to visit and things to do in Bali in July:

Ancient Bali temples with stunning centuries-old architecture are scattered throughout the highlands and coastlines.

These are excellent locations to see at least once during your trip to Bali in July because several have grown to be some of the island’s most recognizable monuments and each temple is distinct.

One of Bali’s most picture-perfect temples is Uluwatu Temple , whose cliff base is renowned among surfers as an unusual surf location.

The wider and more magnificent sea views are offered by this temple’s higher altitude.

Another is Bali’s central highlands’ Ulun Danu Beratan Temple , a gorgeous landmark temple.

The smooth reflecting surface of Beratan Lake surrounds the majority of the temple’s foundation, giving it a distinctive appearance of floating.

This temple is located on the western shore of Beratan Lake. Also, there is the Taman Ayun Temple .

The primary landmark of the Mengwi village in the Badung Regency is this 17th-century temple.

Inside the temple are a large tropical garden, water features including lotus and fish ponds, and well-kept courtyards and enclosures.

UBUD MONKEY FOREST

If you decide to travel to Ubud to see the Ubud Monkey Forest while you are in Bali in July, you can be sure that it was a wise choice.

On the whole island of Bali, Ubud has always been and still is one of the most significant cultural hubs.

Mandala Suci Wenara Wana , another name for the Ubud Monkey Forest, is no longer the vast forest next to a tiny village to the north of Denpasar.

It has evolved into one of Bali’s most popular tourist destinations, welcoming a large number of tourists from all over the world each month.

In this lush refuge, so many Balinese long-tailed monkeys live in their natural habitat.

The Monkey Forest is an extremely popular tourist location, especially during Bali’s summer season, which runs from July to October, so If you want to escape the crowds, go early in the day.

SEKUMPUL WATERFALL

The Sekumpul Waterfall, commonly referred to as the Hidden Falls is a tourist destination to visit if you want to travel to Bali in July.

It is regarded as the greatest waterfall on the island.

About 80 meters down, on the valley floor, the magnificent twin falls plunge.

Due to the quick and powerful water drops that cover the entire region, deep forests, and breathtaking scenery, it is beyond compare beautifully.

Additionally, you must journey down a route to reach the fall, fulfilling your need to trek.

It is advised to visit the waterfall while wearing footwear that will help you walk the stairs without slipping because they are slick and there are quite a few of them.

RICE TERRACES

Anyone visiting this beautiful island must view the rice fields in Bali.

If you’re thinking about visiting these breathtaking Indonesian greeneries, you will be in the right location because it won’t be easy for you to find the same experience of strolling through one anywhere else.

The rice terraces, surrounded by lush greenery, are a sight to see across the countryside, especially in the morning.

Rice is a staple in Bali and an important component of Balinese culture.

Since the irrigation system is used by the entire community to maintain the health of the farms, it has been in existence for millennia.

The well-known and interesting rice terraces of Tegallalang , Jatiluwih , and Belimbing are worth seeing.

The ideal time to visit the rice fields in Bali is in July when they are completely green.

It is advisable to visit them early in the morning when the weather is cooler than in the afternoon or midday.

MOUNT BATUR HIKE

Mount Batur, also known as Gunung Batur , is an active volcano in Bali that occasionally erupts, and it is situated west of Mount Agung.

One of the finest things to do in Bali in July is to go hiking there, and it’s better to get to the summit before sunrise to get the best views.

Consider going to a nearby village where you may still see Mount Batur if you decide that the ascent is not for you.

The Kintamani village of Penelokan provides tourists with fantastic picture opportunities.

Hike with a trusted guide, pay attention to environmental safety measures, and take safeguards.

Postpone your climb if there’s a likelihood of activity or dangerous circumstances, and take in the peak from a safer distance.

Observe the laws and ordinances in your area.

Additionally, before going, review the travel warnings for natural disasters.

Campuhan Ridge trek, Lake Tamblingan trek, and the trek in West Bali National Park are some other outstanding hikes in Bali.

SNORKELING AND SCUBA DIVING

One of the greatest times to go scuba diving and snorkeling in Bali is in July.

Flippers, masks, and snorkel make for an ungainly sight when you’re walking backward, but as soon as you go into the warm water and start breathing, everything above the surface disappears for a brief time.

The east coast of Bali, between Amed and Padangbai, offers some excellent snorkeling over deeper waters, with a brilliant array of colorful sea life to discover.

However, there aren’t many spots where it’s feasible to snorkel from the beach in Bali.

The eastern coast of Bali is also a favorite among divers because there are several fascinating dive locations offshore.

If you’re looking for more diving opportunities than the island alone can provide, combine your vacation to Bali with a stay on the nearby island of Lombok.

Best beaches to visit in Bali in July

Bali boasts some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, and visiting this island rewards visitors with breathtaking beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

It is simple to understand why Bali’s renowned beaches are the stuff of workplace daydreams when you are by the seaside, taking in the sights and sounds of the breaking surf.

How busy or relaxed you desire your beach vacations to be will determine exactly where you hang your hammock.

So, keep reading to learn about some of the best beaches you should check out if you travel to Bali in July!

Best beaches to visit in Bali in July:

Kuta Beach is among the top beaches in Bali to visit in July.

The resorts, restaurants, and bars on this beach are well-known.

Kuta has frequent beach parties where you may experience Bali’s vibrant nightlife.

Younger groups are typically drawn to Kuta’s gatherings.

Mega drinks, dirt-cheap clubs, and music are the main attractions.

The locals frequently attend these events.

Kuta’s events feature karaoke and regional music, as well as after-house venues and street cuisine to enjoy after the celebrations are done.

The main way Seminyak Beach differentiates from Kuta and other southern adjacent beach resort areas is in the type of tourists it draws.

Bali became a popular tourist destination thanks to the enormous waves that brought stray surfers to these southwestern coasts.

Gold to black sand beaches border Seminyak’s coastline, which is enhanced by breathtaking sunsets.

One of Bali’s most popular beaches, Seminyak Beach is home to some of the island’s most lavish resorts as well as a selection of fantastic restaurants and shops.

JIMBARAN BAY

This large stretch of soft white sand beach is well renowned for both its breathtaking landscape and for being the location of the morning markets where local fisherman sells their freshly caught seafood.

It should come as no surprise that, being the island’s seafood center, you’ll also find many beachside grills scattered throughout the shoreline, frying up the day’s catch for your leisurely munching as the sun sets.

If you’re looking for a romantic seafood meal, go to the bay before it gets dark.

If you prefer sunshine, locate a peaceful location in the shadow and take in the tranquil seas from dawn till night.

One of the most well-liked destinations to visit in July is Nusa Dua, which has four white-sand beaches in Bali.

The area is teeming with luxury and is well-known for its water sports including parasailing, snorkeling, jet-skiing, and diving.

One of the very few beaches in the world with a golf course for tourists and locals to use is Nusa Dua Beach.

This beach is open nonstop and entry is free.

If you intend to participate in this sport, pack a rash guard and snorkeling equipment because there are snorkeling trips available.

SANUR BEACH

Sanur Beach, which is on the tranquil southeast coast, offers a more traditional vibe than Kuta or Seminyak. Additionally, families are drawn to this area by its white sand beaches and quiet, shallow seas.

Water sports, spas, street food markets, and beach walks are just a few of the many things to do on this beach.

You may also bike or walk around because everything is strategically placed in the few streets above the beach.

Additionally, there are charming guesthouses, family-friendly villas, and luxurious five-star accommodations that extend out onto the sand.

Amed isn’t your standard seaside scene with black beaches and towering volcanoes on the horizon, but it is an interesting one to view.

Amed, which is located on Bali’s northeastern coast, is renowned for its stunning sights, which are perfect for breathtaking vacation photos.

Additionally, if you enjoy diving or snorkeling, Amed is home to one of the island’s most vivid reefs, a coral garden that is equally well-liked and colorful.

A visit to the adjacent Tulamben to explore the submerged US Liberty Shipwreck, which is teeming with marine life and beauty, is frequently included in an underwater excursion at this location.

Events in Bali in July

Bali has a remarkable talent for catching you off guard with unexpected events, festivals, and celebrations, and you will be amazed by how many of them are situated in this month if you visit this island in July.

Here, we’ve compiled a calendar of Bali’s July celebrations and activities, so, keep reading to learn more about them! Events in Bali in July:

Tumpek Kandang

Two words combine to form Tumpek Kandang.

The Balinese term Kandang means cage, while Tumpek signifies peak.

Every 210 days, on the Saturday of Uye, the holiday is held.

This event is held to commemorate all animals, including pets, farm animals, and domestic animals.

The people of Bali pray to God for a fruitful year of farming, a plentiful crop, and superior quality products in addition to respecting the animals.

The fact that Tumpek Kandang is celebrated shows how conscious the Balinese are of animal welfare.

Bali Kite Festival

The Bali Kite Festival is a yearly celebration that occurs during the windiest months of the year, however, the exact dates sometimes change since they rely on the weather.

When the wind picks up, it begins, and when the wind dies down, it is over.

The event typically begins in July and runs through October, although July and August are when it is busiest because it is also one of Bali’s busiest travel months.

Sanur Beach, one of Bali’s most well-known beaches, is where Bali Kite Festival is held.

Bali Arts Festival

The annual Bali Arts Festival, which takes place in July and is hosted in Denpasar, is not only the largest cultural occasion in Bali but also one of the most important art festivals in all of Indonesia.

Through a range of performances, including traditional music and dance, theater shows, and displays of traditional crafts and artwork, the festival highlights the diversity and complexity of Balinese culture.

The festival attracts visitors from all around the world who want to take in the lively and colorful celebration of Balinese culture.

BHA Sustainable Food Festival

The second annual Bali Hotel Association Sustainable Food Festival features dozens of hotels and eateries from all across Bali.

To be clear, this BHA-sponsored festival aims to promote a more sustainable method of running restaurants and bars.

During the festival, participating restaurants are required to provide three sustainable meals for supper and two sustainable dishes for lunch.

Only Indonesian ingredients may be used in these recipes, which must also feature traditional fare and organically cultivated products.

Perang Pandan

The Aga tribe of Bali is the host of Perang Pandan.

It’s a tradition for males to fight each other to demonstrate their maturity and manhood.

The Usaba Sambah celebration, which lasts a month, is highlighted by this fighting between males, known as makare-kare .

After the traditional drinking of the palm wines in specially crafted banana-leaf cups, while someone stands in as the referee, the particular ceremonial fighting begins.

The dueling arena is particularly constructed for the occasion, and the village homes are exquisitely adorned.

Weather & Temperature in Bali in July

Due to Bali’s proximity to the equator, it experiences tropical weather.

This Indonesian island does have a distinct rainy season brought on by the western monsoon, although the maximum temperatures remain rather constant throughout the year.

Since the dry season runs from late October to early April, July is included.

The average temperature in Bali during fJuly is from around 22°C to 31°C.

Even though it’s the dry season, Bali does get some rain in July, but the precipitation is mostly restricted to lightning-spurred thunderstorms or brief afternoon showers, which can be a pleasant break from the heat.

Bali experiences 60 to 80 mm of rain per month on average throughout the summer, with most of it falling in the early morning or late afternoon.

Although the number of rainy days might vary, tourists should plan to spend about 8 to 10 days each month outside.

You’ll experience milder temperatures and more rain if you visit Bali’s central region, which is characterized by tall mountains.

The climate becomes warmer and dryer the farther you go from the mountains, with the shore being the hottest place to be.

The sea has a pleasant temperature for swimming in July, despite the extreme humidity.

Bali is an excellent place to go swimming, snorkeling, and surfing since the sea temperature there in the warmer months, like July, normally fluctuates from 28°C to 30°C.

Bali’s beaches, including Kuta, Seminyak, and Sanur, have warm, clear seas that are ideal for taking in the island’s natural beauty and marine life.

However, before going for a swim, it’s always a good idea to check the local predictions because sea temperatures might vary depending on location and weather.

Tips for visiting Bali in July

Before embarking on your journey to this paradise in Indonesia, there are undoubtedly a few things you should be aware of.

We will thus provide you with a list of some insightful tips to aid in your vacation preparation.

So, keep reading to be prepared!

Tips for visiting Bali in July:

What to wear in Bali in July

With ten hours of sunshine per day, July is one of the sunniest months in Bali.

Therefore, it is essential to pack light, cool, and quick-drying clothing that covers your skin if you want to protect yourself from sunlight.

In general, sandals and cool, breathable footwear are advised, and If you want to go on volcanoes or in the rice terraces, carry a pair of sturdy, comfortable trainers or light hiking boots to support your feet and ankles.

You should also pack some essentials from home, such as beauty products, sunscreen, and deodorant, as such might be difficult to purchase in Bali.

And additionally, especially in rural locations, it may be necessary to use insect repellent at night.

Bali is a rather traditional island despite being a tropical one, and this mostly relates to places of worship where it is customary to cover one’s shoulders and perhaps one’s knees.

Therefore, when visiting temples and other holy sites in Bali, it is advised to wear clothing that covers your knees and shoulders.

Crowds in Bali in July

In addition to August, July is the busiest month in Bali throughout the summer, so it is understandable why so many visitors come to experience the tropics.

As a result, last-minute hotel and resort bookings will be challenging at this time of year, making deals at these establishments difficult to come by.

So, make sure to make your reservations as soon as possible if you don’t mind paying full price, otherwise, you might not be able to reserve the hotel of your choice.

The busiest areas in Bali in July include Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak, and Ubud.

It is therefore essential to start planning your trip and make your reservations as soon as you can.

At this time of the year, transportation times are longer than usual, especially in south Bali, and it can be challenging to find lodging or a private experienced driver in this area.

Prices in Bali in July

Bali experiences its busiest month of the year in July, thus rates are often higher.

During the busiest time of year, it’s critical to reserve lodging and transportation in advance to prevent any last-minute shocks.

You can discover a ton of possibilities, though, to meet your travel style and budget with a little bit of study and careful preparation.

Your best chance if you’re trying to find an inexpensive place to stay in Bali is to seek guest homes or low-cost hotels.

One of the priciest places to stay in Bali is the South, whereas Central or North Bali often has lower rates.

Although the cost of food in Bali is typically reasonable, street food is your best bet if you’re on a tight budget.

If you’re concerned about the price of transportation, renting a scooter or motorcycle is one of the most well-liked and cost-effective methods to go across Bali.

If you feel comfortable behind the wheel and want to tour the island at your leisure, this is a great alternative.

Transportation in Bali in July

Scooters, taxis, and drivers are your greatest options for transportation if you’re trying to figure out how to travel around Bali.

Renting a motorcycle, a vehicle, or a driver allows you to easily and hassle-free tour any part of Bali.

With such modes of transportation, destinations that would have taken hours to visit are simpler and accessible much more quickly.

This is the least expensive and most advantageous course of action if you feel confident operating a scooter.

However, bear in mind that you should exercise caution since during the busiest months, like July, the streets will be clogged with motorbikes, vehicles, and tour buses, making it challenging to ride.

If you are not prepared and make early reservations, it may occasionally be difficult to get online taxis or drivers during peak season.  

And finally – A trip to Bali!

You don’t need to wonder why you should visit Bali in July when there are so many good reasons to do so.

You will be astounded whether you visit the stunning beaches and gorgeous temples or the warm people and relaxing atmosphere of the island.

So, pack your bags and travel to this tropical island this summer!

12 things to know before going to Bali, Indonesia

Jan 18, 2024 • 8 min read

These top tips for visiting Bali can help you plan the perfect trip © Klaus Vedfelt / Getty Images

The Indonesian island of Bali is a sun-soaked paradise that attracts every type of traveler, from budget-conscious backpackers to luxury jet-setters.

But – as with any destination – the vast majority of travelers (especially first-timers) will have a number of questions, whether it's "Can unmarried couples stay together in Bali?" (an increasingly common one in the light of recently-introduced new rules for tourists in Bali, which we'll get to later) or "What should I wear?"

Thankfully, Bali is one of the easiest destinations to explore, although its size – the island covers 5776 sq km (2230 sq miles) – means travelers should take the time to think about what they want to see and do relatively early on. For example, places such as Seminyak , with its beach clubs and five-star hotels, tend to become somewhat crowded during peak season, while more rural destinations, such as Ubud , might well require a longer taxi journey  but are absolutely worth the effort, especially for those keen to avoid the crowds.

It's also worth bearing in mind that Bali is one of Asia's safest destinations. As with any holiday hot spot, there are always going to be certain things we can do to ensure we stay safe while traveling, but crackdowns on petty theft and bad behavior have all helped transform the island into a wonderfully family-friendly destination .

Here are our top tips for anyone heading to Bali.

1. Check your vaccinations are up-to-date before traveling to Indonesia

There are no mandatory vaccinations for visitors to Bali (barring the need for travelers arriving from countries with a high yellow fever transmission risk to carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate), although Hepatitis A, typhoid and tetanus are often recommended. Bali falls into the "low to no risk" category when it comes to malaria.

Rabies remains a big problem in Indonesia, and although it claims fewer lives in Bali than elsewhere (according to the World Health Organization, 11 people died from rabies in the first half of 2023), it still exists, and the rabies vaccination is worth considering. Working out what vaccinations you need for a holiday to Bali is mostly a personal choice, but if you have concerns, contact your local physician for the latest guidance.

2. Bring a reusable bottle

One of the most asked questions by tourists: "Is Bali's tap water safe to drink?" The short answer is "no." Stick to bottled water or, better still, bring a bottle with a built-in water filtering membrane. Purchasing bottled water – especially in restaurants – can quickly become expensive, which is another reason we're fans of reusable filtered ones, such as Larq and Lifestraw. These are also handy when it comes to purifying water used for cleaning fruits and vegetables. Additionally, try to steer clear of ice and use bottled water to brush your teeth.

3. Don't write off the rainy season

Having a rough idea of when dry and rainy seasons fall is undoubtedly something that is useful to know before heading to Indonesia . But bear with us – Bali's rainy season, which takes place between October and April, is a great time to visit. It's typified by short, sharp showers that often only last a few minutes. And in addition to the fact that prices for everything – from regional airfares to hotels – plummet, the island becomes wonderfully lush, the weather is still warm (typically hovering between 24°C/75°F and 29°C/85°F), and the main tourist attractions are blissfully crowd-free. You'll also find it easier to snap up places on excursions, such as snorkeling tours and guided hikes.

4. Buy some bug spray

To be clear, Bali doesn't have a major mosquito problem, but like anywhere in Southeast Asia, these pesky biting bugs love the occasional bloodsucking session – in the case of Bali, particularly during the rainy season between November and April. Lighten the load on your wallet by purchasing your repellent in Bali and opting for bug sprays made in Asia. Popular (and much cheaper) Asian brands you'll find throughout Indonesia include Soffell (snap up the surprisingly pleasant floral-scented version if you can).

5. Avoid traveling during peak times

Traffic in Bali can be horrendous – especially around busier spots such as Denpasar and Kuta – and estimated journey times on apps like Google Maps or Grab are notoriously unreliable. Peak times tend to be 6am to 8am (but roads often remain busy until 10am when day-trippers head out) and 4pm to 7pm. Allow plenty of time to get from A to B, especially when heading to the airport.

6. Pack clothes that will cover you up for when you're not on the beach

In Bali, skimpy swimwear is fine for the beach, but definitely not for trips to a supermarket or restaurant.

Men and women need to ensure their shoulders and upper legs are covered when visiting religious sites, although most of these places will have sarongs for visitors to borrow. Pack like a pro by taking a light cotton scarf that can double as a sarong if you visit a temple or other religious site, and a pair of light cotton trousers (bonus points if they've got a built-in mosquito repellent), which will protect you from bites while also providing enough coverage at sites where tiny denim shorts or a vest just won't cut it.

7. Behave respectfully

Various media reports might give the impression it's easy to get into trouble in Bali, but it's not. In reality, you just need to be sensible: don't do drugs (being caught with under a gram of cannabis will land you in prison), be respectful and dress appropriately at religious sites, don't ride a motorbike or moped without a helmet (Bali's police have recently started cracking down especially hard on foreign moped drivers), and treat locals with respect.

8. Locals will be keen to share their knowledge with you

Staying at a hotel with a concierge or a friendly receptionist? Feel free to grill them about the best local bar, beach or restaurant. The Balinese are incredibly proud of their island  – don't be surprised if the bartender at your favorite beach bar ends up inviting you to their home for dinner with their family – and love nothing more than telling visitors about their favorite beach, nature walk or temple.

9. Eat, drink, stay and shop locally

Don't be afraid to go local, whether this means eating at tiny family-run restaurants or opting for local drink brands. You'll pay less and enjoy delicious local dishes, and you'll be contributing directly to the local economy, too. These days, even the smallest restaurants, bars and independent hotels will be listed on online review sites such as Zomato (especially popular in Asia), and a quick glance should tell you whether the business in question is reputable or not.

10. Carry some loose change

Many businesses in Bali will take payment by card, but there are still plenty of places that only take cash. These include temples, smaller souvenir shops and beachfront masseuses (which, by the way, offer some of the best massages going). ATMs on the island can be unreliable and are also few and far between in some areas. Additionally, don't assume you'll always have the mobile data you'll need to book a ride-share taxi. If you need to hail a tuk-tuk or taxi from the side of the road, it's highly likely you'll need to pay in cash.

When using ATMs, opt for ones connected with major banks (in Indonesia, these include BNI, Bank Mandiri, BCA and CIMB Niaga) to avoid withdrawal fees and remember that Indonesian ATMs issue the cash first, so don't forget to wait for your card to appear.

11. Get around by moped (but always wear a helmet)

Mopeds are the cheapest way to get around Bali  and often – especially during rush hour in places such as Kuta – the quickest, too. They're also offered as a mode of transport by Grab and Gojek (Bali's most popular ride-sharing apps), and prices for journeys via mopeds are significantly cheaper than those made by car. Just remember to check the reviews of your chosen driver and always wear a helmet (the driver will typically provide one). Avoid hailing scooter taxis on the street – you won't be able to check their credentials, and, in reality, Grab and Gojek have so many scooter drivers (both identifiable for their bright green jackets) that there's simply no need.

12. There is a no-sex-before-marriage law

In December 2022, the Indonesian government brought in a new law that forbids sex outside of marriage. Technically, this law applies to visitors as well as locals.

At the time, it was announced that the legislation won't be introduced until late 2025. Since then, Bali's governor has said that the law – dubbed by some newspapers as the "Bali bonk ban"– won't apply to tourists and, additionally, guilty parties can only be reported by spouses, parents or children. In summary, the law represents a worrying development for human rights in Indonesia, but it's not one that is likely to affect tourists.

It will take around 35-45 minutes to drive to Seminyak and 45 minutes to an hour to reach Canggu. This is all dependent on traffic, particularly during the high season when you can expect queues. A taxi from the airport costs approximately 300,000 IDR (~ 20 USD).

Where to Stay in Canggu and Seminyak

Since you will probably spend most of your time at the beach on your Bali itinerary, it makes sense to base yourself in the coastal areas to save on transport. 

For Canggu, the most central places are Batu Bolong and Berewa, where there are loads of great cafes, restaurants, and beach clubs close by, as well as great surf spots.

Hotels in Canggu 😴

In Seminyak, stay around Jalan Kayu Aya street, also known as ‘Eat Street’, for its great variety of restaurants. This street is also just a 10-minute walk from the beach.

Day 2 + 3: Ubud

After a day by the beach, it’s time to head inland to check out the cultural and spiritual hub of Bali! There is so much to see and do in Ubud that it’s best to allocate at least two days on your 7-day Bali itinerary to enjoy its stunning natural scenery, fascinating culture, and lively art scene. It is also one of the more popular tourist destinations on the island, so we recommend hiring a driver for hassle-free exploring. 

Join a day tour exploring all the highlights of the Ubud are

These stunning rice terraces just 20 minutes from Ubud center are a must-see, with beautiful green valleys, towering palm trees, and multiple levels of beautifully tended paddies to explore. 

Read: The complete guide to the Tegalalang rice terraces

Ubud Art Market

The Ubud Art Market is held every day from 9 AM in the central square. The market is full of beautiful handmade goods like woven handbags, leather, and jewelry, most of which are made locally in nearby villages and make excellent souvenirs to take home.

Here are all your hotel options in Ubud

Campuhan Ridge or Rice Field Walk

One of the most popular things to do on any Bali itinerary is to visit Campuhan Ridge at sunset. This is a popular 2 km route to the next village that worms its way over the lush green hill. It is particularly popular with local people who come to exercise or walk their dogs. The place is also very sacred as it is the meeting point of two parallel rivers, and many come here to meditate or cleanse themselves in the water. 

Alternatively, take a peaceful wander through the rice fields, a 45-minute stroll where you can see the beautiful countryside and local life. Best of all, there are plenty of cafes along the route to stop and take in the serene surroundings. Read more about Ubud here .

Tirta Empul Temple

Pura Tirta Empul is an ancient Hindu water temple used for the sacred cleansing ritual known as melukat for over 1000 years. Bathing in the holy spring water is an incredibly unique experience for visitors to Ubud. The UNESCO world heritage site is one of the only temples in Bali where tourists are allowed to take part in this sacred ritual alongside locals.

Visit the Tirta Empul Temple on this cultural tour

Goa Raja Waterfall

This beautiful waterfall hidden inside a huge cave is a lovely place to spend an afternoon away from the heat. Take the short 15-minute hike to the cave along a small river, with moss-covered paths leading the way through the thick green jungle. Take a refreshing dip in this secluded spot away from the crowds, which is a 45-minute drive from the center of Ubud, and a must-see on your 7-day Bali itinerary. Book directly through our friend Yande .

Monkey Forest

The Monkey Forest is one of Bali’s most famous tourist destinations and for good reason. The sacred monkey sanctuary is home to over 700 long-tailed monkeys. They roam freely around the huge forest (a very special and spiritual place for the Balinese). You can easily spend over two hours here exploring the area, marveling at ancient trees and temples, and observing the monkeys playing. (Read more about visiting Ubud Monkey Forest on your 7 days in Bali)

How to Get from Canggu/Seminyak to Ubud

The drive from Canggu and Seminyak to Ubud takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. You can rent a scooter or a car (although traffic around Canggu is particularly bad), or you can take a taxi which will cost 10-20 USD. Using GoJek or Grab will be slightly cheaper.

Where to Stay in Ubud

There are many great accommodation options in the center of Ubud, where you are close to all the main tourist spots, shops, and restaurants. If you are looking for something a little more rural or unique, opt for something a little outside the center, close to the rice terraces, or at one of the bamboo houses in Bali .

Hotels in Ubud 😴

Day 4: Day Trip to Mount Batur from Ubud

The sacred volcanoes of Bali are a big part of what makes this island so unique, so climbing to the top of the Mount Batur volcano is a must-do on your 7-day Bali itinerary! The area around the mountain is absolutely stunning and offers a very different landscape from Ubud and the popular beach villages. Because of this, it is worth squeezing in a day trip here to see another side of the island. 

Read our complete 3-week Bali itinerary !

Sunrise or Sunset at Mt. Batur

This iconic trek to see the sun rise or set from the summit of Mount Batur is well worth the extra steps. At the peak, you will be met by spectacular views over the whole of Bali and incredible pink and gold colors washing over jungle valleys, tiny villages, and the amazing black lava fields of the volcano. It’s recommended to take this tour with a guide .

Natural Hot Springs

After a long hike, what’s better than a hot bath? These volcanic hot springs by the lake are geothermally heated and are a great place to soak your tired muscles while you take in the stunning views over shimmering Lake Batur. The outdoor infinity pools are the perfect place to relax for an hour or two and give you the chance to warm up in the cooler mountain air.

Coffee Farm

The Mount Batur region has a cooler climate and volcanic soil – which means delicious coffee! There are lots of plantations in the area, many of which offer tours so you can taste locally-grown brews. (Please skip the Luwak coffee as this is animal cruelty – see here )

How to Get from Ubud to Mount Batur

The best way to visit Mount Batur on your Bali itinerary is by booking a day trip with a tour company or hiring a private driver . This will include an experienced guide, hotel pick-up and drop-off, as well as transport between several spots in the Mount Batur area. This all-inclusive option takes the hassle out of the trip, so you can just enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Alternatively, you can rent a scooter yourself or hire a driver in Bali if you want more flexibility. The drive from Ubud takes approximately 1.5 hours.

Day 5: Day Trip to Nusa Penida (West Side)

Nusa Penida is the biggest of the Nusa Islands, an island paradise with crystal clear water, dramatic limestone cliffs, and stunning ocean views. Once the most underdeveloped of the islands, it is quickly gaining popularity among tourists and is one of the must-see destinations on your 7 days in Bali.

On this 7-day Bali itinerary, there is only time for a day trip, so it’s best to stick to the west side of the island close to the harbor. However, if you do have more time, it is worth staying a night or two to make the most of this serene island paradise. Join a day tour or hire a car once you reach Nusa Penida to explore all its hidden gems. 

Paluang Cliff & Kelingking Point

These are two spectacular viewpoints around 30 minutes from the harbor, which are your first impression of the island’s beauty! With expansive blue ocean, rocky headlands, and lush green jungle laid out before you, these secluded spots high on the clifftop are a great place to catch your breath and take in the incredible views.

Read: Tips for visiting Kelingking Beach

Broken Beach & Angel’s Billabong

These are two of the most beautiful and unmissable natural sights on Nusa Penida Island. Broken Beach has a rocky archway that acts as a natural bridge over the sea and has created a perfect circular bay; it’s an amazing spot for photos, as well as possible manta ray sightings!

Further up is Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool created by the tides, with crystal clear water and stunning ocean views.

Good to know: It is not recommended to enter the natural pool, as dangerous waves can suddenly crash over the side, even at low tide.

Crystal Bay

For the rest of the day, relax and unwind at Crystal Bay, a stunning white sandy beach lined with swaying palm trees, a beautiful green jungle backdrop, and rocky islands out in the water. This is the perfect place for an afternoon of sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Plus, you can rent umbrellas and enjoy a few drinks at the few beach bars on the shoreline. Make sure to also keep an eye out for turtles and dolphins!

Visit all of these highlights of Nusa Penida on a day tour from Bali

How to Get from Ubud to Nusa Penida

You can book a taxi and ferry combination trip from Ubud, which takes around two and a half hours and costs roughly 15 USD. 

Book directly through our friend Yande or Book your ferry from Bali to Nusa Penida here

Alternatively, if you book a day tour, this will include hotel pick-up and drop-off, as well as all your transport around the island.  This is a very convenient option for those following a shorter Bali itinerary (7 days).

Sleep in Uluwatu

Take the ferry back to the Sanur port, then head to Uluwatu down the coast – the final destination on your Bali itinerary!

Here are all your hotel options in Uluwatu

Day 6: Uluwatu

Uluwatu is a chilled-out surfers’ paradise on the south coast of Bali, far from the crowds of Canggu, Seminyak, and Kuta. The off-the-beaten-path destination is the perfect place to spend your last few days in Bali , surrounded by stunning white beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs.

Beaches in Uluwatu, Bali

Uluwatu boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Bali , most of which are not too crowded. This area also has some of the best waves in the world, so it is a great place to pick up a board and spend some time on the water—the perfect way to wind down your 7 days in Bali.

Read: 17 Best things to do in Uluwatu!

Kecak Fire Dance

The Kecak Fire Dance is a traditional Balinese ceremony that takes place every evening at sunset on Uluwatu Cliff. This is an unforgettable experience, and in our opinion, it is the best thing to do in Uluwatu. Local dancers tell stories through theater, movement, and song at the clifftop amphitheater of Uluwatu Temple, with an incredible ocean backdrop and stunning sunset vistas, and of course, a fire show! 

Buy your tickets to the Kecak Fire Dance in advance

How to Get from Nusa Penida to Uluwatu

Most boats from Nusa Penida go to Sanur, which can take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on which service you take. From Sanur to Uluwatu, it is just under an hour’s drive. It’s best to book a tour for Nusa Penida, which will include pick and drop-off at your hotel. Book directly through our friend Yande

Where to Stay in Uluwatu on your Bali Itinerary

The best area to stay in Uluwatu is Pecatu, which is the most central, meaning you can get to most places within a 20-minute scooter ride. Choose accommodation close to Bingin Beach and Padang-Padang Beach, which are both beautiful spots for sunbathing and swimming if you’re short on time.

Hotels in Uluwatu 😴

Day 8 – Fly Out

After an action-packed week, take the last day of your Bali 7-day itinerary to relax and get ready for your flight home. From Uluwatu to the airport is just a 40-minute drive, so if you have an afternoon or evening flight, you can still enjoy most of the day here before heading off.

How to Get from Uluwatu to the Airport

The journey from Uluwatu to the airport takes around 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic. The best option is to book a taxi from your hotel or hostel, which will cost approximately 15 USD. Alternatively, if you’ve hired a car or motorcycle for your 7 days in Bali, you can simply drop it off at the airport before your flight.

How to Visit Bali in 7 Days

Denpasar-Ngurah Rai International Airport is where you will land when you first arrive in Bali. It’s located on the southern tip of the island, close to Canggu, Seminyak, and Uluwatu, making it a convenient place to start your Bali itinerary. If you are already traveling around Indonesia, you also have the option to take the ferry from Jakarta, Lombok, or the Gili Islands, among other places.

Getting Around Bali

Although Bali is relatively small, and driving distances can look very short on the map, be aware that traffic can increase traveling times significantly, especially during the high season (July and August).

By Private Driver

Renting a private car and driver is one of the best ways to follow a Bali itinerary, especially for day trips where you want to visit multiple destinations. The driver will wait for you at each place, and the price is set for the day, so there are no hidden costs!

Hiring a driver costs 550000 IDR to 1500000 IDR (~ 35-100 USD) per day and takes away the hassle of navigating, parking, and getting fuel.

When following this 7-day Bali itinerary, we advise you to book all transfers at once with a driver. Most people end up leaving Bali with the driver as their new friend!

By Motorbike

One of the best and most flexible ways to travel around Bali is by motorcycle. That way, you can explore the island at your own pace, and you can hop off whenever you want to take pictures or stop for lunch. Additionally, renting a scooter is affordable, with daily rates starting from as little as ~4 – 10 USD per day. 

The downside is that the streets will be very busy, especially during the high season. If you are not that confident on a scooter, you might prefer an alternative form of transport for your 7 days in Bali. 

Renting a car is a slightly safer option than a motorbike and an excellent choice for a small group with lots of luggage. Car rental costs around 30-60 USD daily and requires an international driver’s permit. Again, the roads can get busy during the high season, so if you are not a confident driver, consider hiring a private driver or taking taxis. 

By Taxi 

Taxis are an affordable and convenient way to get around for short distances on your Bali 8-day itinerary. However, always check that the meter is on or agree to a price beforehand! An even cheaper option is ride-sharing apps like Grab or Go-Jek, but these aren’t allowed in some areas.

For longer trips and for traveling between popular tourist attractions, it is better and cheaper to rent a private car and driver for the day. 

Read: Hiring a driver in Bali (all you need to know)

Booking Tours

Booking a tour is a good option for specific trips on your Bali 7-day itinerary. For example, the sunrise trek to Mount Batur or the day trip to Nusa Penida . Everything is included in the tour, including hotel pick-up and drop-off. It also normally includes a guide who can provide fascinating local insight into the area and culture that you wouldn’t get otherwise.

Our Favorite Accommodations 

Bali has loads of amazing accommodation options, from local homestays and lively budget hostels to stunning villas and luxury five-star resorts! Read about our favorite places to stay in Bali . Here are some of our favorites from every destination on this Bali itinerary:

• Canggu : Amar Boutique , Cali Villas , Guru Canggu
• Seminyak : The Legian , Elysian Boutique , Villa Air
• Ubud : Kayon Jungle Resort , Ubud Valley Boutique , Sapodilla Ubud
• Uluwatu : Padang Padang Inn , Bukal Sari , The Elementum

How Much Does 7 Days in Bali Cost?

The cost of your trip will depend on what time of year you visit, which part of the country you’re in, and what you like to spend your money on! However, Bali is generally a very affordable travel destination, and if you go outside of the high season months of July and August, you can find cheaper accommodation in most places. 

Costs of Traveling in Bali

Travel on a budget in Bali, from $230 − $430 USD weekly per person, mid-range $660 − $1020 USD, and high-end from $1040 − $1380 USD. However, costs depend on factors like accommodation, transportation, and activities. We did not include flights. Check flight prices here

• Hostels: $15 − $30 USD Check available hostels
• Transport: $5 − $40 USD Book public transport

• Activities: $5 − $20 USD See tickets & tours
• Sim: $1 − $3 USD Get an eSIM or SIM here
• Travel Insurance: $2 − $6 USD Get Travel Insurance

Best Time to Visit Bali for 7 Days

The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season between April and October, when the weather is at its best for sightseeing, beach days, surfing, and diving. We recommend avoiding the high season of July and August when it gets very crowded on the island with local and international tourists, and prices go up.

The wet season is much quieter, accommodation is cheaper, and the countryside is lush and beautiful. However, you should be prepared for at least a few hours of rain a day!

Do I Need a Visa for 7 Days in Bali?

Most people will need a tourist visa to enter Bali. You can get a Visa on Arrival (VOA) when you land at the airport, which is valid for 30 days and costs 500,000 IDR (~ 33 USD). To avoid long queues at the airport, apply electronically at least 48 hours before you arrive. You can read about the full visa process here .

Get your visa for Bali in advance

Travel Insurance for Bali

Travel insurance is an essential purchase before any trip away, however short. Insurance will give you peace of mind during your Bali itinerary and can save you money in the long run if anything unexpected happens while you are away. You can buy single-trip insurance very cheaply, and there are plenty of options if you are traveling long-term, too.

Is it Safe in Bali?

Bali is generally a very safe place to travel and one of Indonesia’s safest destinations. There is a small level of petty crime, such as phone theft or pickpocketing, particularly in the more touristy areas, so just be sensible and wary of your belongings while out and about. 

Another thing to be aware of is volcanic activity. Although an eruption is very unlikely, check the local news or government website for warnings before attempting the hike up Mount Batur.

What to Pack for a 7-Day Bali Itinerary

There are two seasons in Bali, the wet and the dry, so your packing list may change depending on the time of year. However, the average temperature in Bali is a mild 79 °F (26 °C) all year round, so you don’t need to pack too much!

Bali Packing List

• Layers – Bringing different layers of clothing is a good idea, as temperatures can change when heading up into the mountains, especially at night. 
• Universal travel plug – Useful for any trip to ensure all your electronics can be charged.
• Raincoat – In the rainy season, this is an essential item in Bali! It may still come in handy during the dry season when there are occasional showers. 
• Hat – Essential for keeping the sun off your face while sightseeing, hiking, or simply sunbathing on the beach!
• Good footwear – Good hiking boots or sturdy sneakers/sandals are a must for your 7 days in Bali. A lot of the country is still unpaved, and you will need good shoes for hiking in the mountains or the rice paddies.

• Sarong – Most sacred temples require everyone to cover up their legs out of respect. There is often an option to rent these, but it’s good to have one packed just in case, even if it’s just to cover up from the sun!
• Microfibre towel – A small, lightweight towel is great for beach days and waterfall trips on your Bali itinerary, as they fit easily into a small bag and dry very quickly.  
• Camera – You need something to capture all the incredible sights – consider a waterproof camera or a GoPro for snorkeling and diving or for that perfect waterfall shot.
• Power bank – Helpful for day trips, mountain hikes, and power outages, a power bank is a great backup to have on hand.  Get one here .
• Small backpack – A small day bag or backpack is convenient for day trips, so you can just bring the essentials when following this Bali itinerary.

Packing Sustainable Items

• Insect repellent – Choose a non-toxic insect repellent that isn’t made with harmful chemicals like DEET.
• Sunscreen – Opt for a reef-safe sunscreen that is non-toxic and helps to protect marine life.
• Purifying water bottle – Unfortunately, tap water is unsafe to drink in Bali and may lead to the infamous ‘Bali Belly’.
• Stainless steel straw – Great for happy hour or beach-side coconuts, carrying a small stainless steel straw around with you will save on plastic.
• Reusable bags – Say no to plastic bags at local markets by keeping a few reusable bags on hand for your 7 days in Bali.

• Bali Weather in July 2024: Best Places to Go & Travel Tips

This article covers weather in July in Bali including average temperatures and rainfall as well as travel tips on what to do, places to go, and what to wear in July.

Bali Weather in July: Overview

The best places to visit in bali in july, crowds and costs in july, what to wear in july.

• Daily temperature range : 22–31°C (73–88°F)
• Rainfall : 6 cm (2 inches)
• Rainy days : 4
• Sunshine hours/day : 10
• Ocean temperature : 27°C (81°F)
• Humidity : 60%

July is one of the driest months in Bali and one of the best months for natural beauty and enjoyment. There is a lot less (ocean) pollution in the dry season. The beaches and water are a lot cleaner.

Being in the southern hemisphere winter, July is appreciably cooler than in May. Both the water and the air are cooler. But because of 10 hours of bright sun , it still feels hot during the day. The temperatures are cool at night especially in the mountains. July is better than May for people who appreciate cooler weather. The average daily maximum is 31°C (88°F), and the average nightly minimum is a comfortable 22°C (73°F). The sea is comfortable for just about everyone. This is perfect beach weather , but be careful of sunburn.

Bali can expect an average of 4 days of light/moderate rain in July. If it rains, it usually falls for a few hours in the later afternoon or evening. So, you could plan your activities earlier and miss the rain. July is one of the windier months, so you may be thankful for the refreshing evening breezes.

Read more on: How to Plan a 1–2-Week First Trip to Bali

July is one of the best months for visiting Bali . The beaches and the seas are cleaner, and the bright sunshine and hot temperatures encourage people to go to the beaches and do watersports. Some people like to hike and stay in the mountains where it is cooler. July's dry weather is far better than the rainy season weather for walking to the tops of the volcanoes.

You could also enjoy visiting Bali's nearby islands and have adventurous outdoor activities including surfing, diving, and hiking.

However, Bali receives the most visitors during July and August, so you might appreciate going to the less-traveled highlights of the island or going off Bali to the less-visited nearby islands.

Get to know the best times to visit Bali >>>

1. Stay at Seminyak for Sun and Surf

Seminyak has a combination of luxury resorts and surfing that many tourists appreciate. It is close to the main airport, so getting there is easy. Seminyak Beach is good for lounging, surfing, family time, water sports, and honeymoons. It is particularly known for watersports such as surfing, parasailing, and waterskiing.

Seminyak is about 3 km (2 miles) north of more-crowded Kuta and further from the city center. The waves are bigger than those at Kuta, so more experienced surfers surf there.

The hotels along the beach make are especially suitable for honeymooners and seniors. The beach is 8 km (5 miles) long, and sections of it are privately owned by luxury hotels. You can enjoy fine dining in the resorts and shop.

Transportation : Seminyak is about 12 minutes by road from Denpasar Airport (taxi fares are about 10 USD).

2. Enjoy the Highlands around Ubud

When it is hot and crowded at the beaches, you could enjoy cooler temperatures, less humidity, and green vegetation around Ubud. You could hike in cooler, higher areas around Ubud and enjoy fine dining and the street markets. There is a wide range of hotels in Bali's culture hub.

Nearby Tegallalang is one of the best terraced field areas of Bali and is known for its steep jungled beauty. Ubud is at an elevation of 600 meters (2,000 feet). Nearby are waterfalls and a popular market area for food and shopping called Gianyar Night Market (see below). You could take children to Bali Bird Sanctuary and to Monkey Forest that has about 600 monkeys.

For more about Tegallalang, read The Top Bali Rice Terraces: Which to Visit

Transport : Ubud is about 45 minutes by road from Denpasar Airport (taxi fares are about 25 to 33 USD).

3. Dive, Snorkel, Hike, and Relax at the Beaches of Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is one of the three little islands southwest of Bali that are tourist highlights. It is bigger than Nusa Lembongan and receives less tourists.

Nusa Penida is a wildlife refuge area for both sealife and life on the island, so you could go there for adventure and nature. You can see large and unusual sea creatures such as turtles and manta rays. There are lovely white beaches for relaxation too.

Where to stay : Simple guesthouses provide most of the lodging. Indonesian food is served at the local warungs (Indonesian restaurants). You can enjoy plenty of seafood and Balinese meals.

Transportation : Speedboats ferry travelers to and from Bali in about 30 or 40 minutes.

4. Go to Gianyar Night Market

If you are in the Ubud area, you could enjoy a meal at dusk at the Gianyar night market. It is known for its Balinesian and international food and drink at low prices. A whole meal including ice tea may cost 35,000 IDR (2.50 USD).

There are numerous stalls that sell everything from pets to cheap electronics.

Location : The market is at Jalan Ngurah Rai in Gianyar about 11 km (7 miles) from Ubud. It closes about 10:00 pm, but it is open all day. So you could shop during the day as well and have breakfast or lunch there.

5. Hike Mount Agung

Mount Agung is a challenge for hikers. It is the highest mountain in Bali with an elevation of 3,031 meters (9,944 feet). The cone is very steep, but you might enjoy walking on the lower slopes.

There are three stages for the hike up. The first stage is through forest on a dirt path. It is physically demanding. The second stage is scrambling on boulders. The third stage is the most dangerous and steepest . It is so steep that people have to climb up on their hands and knees.

People might choose just to enjoy the hike through the jungle to the steep slope and stop at that point. There are 3 points of entry, and depending on where you enter, the walk could take from 3 to 7 hours long.

As it would be particularly dangerous on wet slopes, and less pleasant when colder, it is best to ascend in the driest and warmest months such as July. Many people have altitude sickness at the top if they are not used to the altitude.

Transport : Road travel from Denpasar Airport to Mount Agung takes about 75 to 90 minutes (a 40–55 USD taxi fare).

The busiest travel months of the year are July and August. The number of international tourists in July might be 50% or 60% more than in May. Australians especially like to take a Bali vacation in July during their winter season.

However, as of 2022, the number of tourists in Bali is still lower than 2019. The hotels and guesthouses that were built for the travel boom are less crowded now than before 2020. The beaches are less crowded too.

For information about touring costs in Bali in 2024, see : How Much Does a Bali Trip Cost? (Prices for 2024/2025)

July is one of the sunniest months with 10 hours of sunshine a day . So, to protect yourself from solar radiation, it is important to bring light, cool, and quick-drying clothing that covers your skin. You might need an umbrella to provide shelter from the sun and any showers. Sandals and cool, breathable footwear are generally recommended.

Insect repellent might be required in the evenings especially in the rural areas.

Wear strong comfortable trainers or light hiking boots to support your feet and ankles when you go hiking in the rice terraces and on the volcanoes.

Jessie was amazing ! Everything from her level of English to her understanding of what we valued .

We had a good time exploring the city with Selinda!

Our guide lele is a wealth of information, Lele is very professional and very attentive to our needs. Lele is amazing. Lele got everything spot on. It probably helps that Guilin is a brilliant place to visit so Lele has great material to work with but that doesn't take anything away from how much Lele helped make it a great trip.

Our guide for Beijing was super knowledgeable and experienced and able to help us to achieve as much as we wanted within the time given. We had a fun time guided by him as he is also super humorous and you can see how he interacts with the vendors and people whom he comes by. Thank you for a very enjoyable time in Beijing and accommodating to all our needs!

Our China Highlight guide. Michael, was attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He narrated many interesting historical events about Chengdu while touring around the city and having afternoon tea with us. He was thoughtful to provide us with snacks during long hikes at Leshan or walks around the city.

She was very flexible and added extra time when we needed it and we felt extremely well taken care of. She also chose the best restaurants for us,

Our tour guide Helen, was excellent, she was very kind, professional and passionate for her work and she also loves Pandas! She will take you to take the best panda photos and to know more about Chengdu city. Our tour was great, she took us to all our destinations always with the best spots: Temples, pagodas, famous streets, theaters, pandas...you name it! Everything was great.

He picked up our pre-booked boat/other excursions tickets so we were able to avoid all the long lines and chaos. He is knowledgeable of the places we visited, courteous, fun to travel with and well-versed in Chinese classics.

Tom is the guide that will take you to where no other guide will. We pushed for the experience and Tom and the team delivered more than what we could have ever asked for. His English speaking ability and his Chinese history knowledge is second to none.

The Ultimate Bali Packing List: 60 Things to Pack for Bali

Are you planning your trip to Bali but struggling to decide what to include on your Bali packing list? I’ve got you covered.

The island of the Gods is a magical place. From spectacular beaches to towering waterfalls, iconic rice terraces, and the friendliest locals, Bali is one of my favorite places in the world.

And no matter how many times I visit, I just keep coming back for more!

So, after multiple trips (and a few too many packing mishaps), I think it’s fair enough to say that I know a thing or two about what to pack for Bali. And I’ve covered them all in this mega packing guide.

Quick Navigation

Things to Know About What to Pack for Bali

To pack or not to pack … The age-old questions when packing for Bali.

You’re probably wondering whether that extra maxi dress is necessary or if you’ll need something fancy for a night out on the town.

Short answer – leave them at home!

The vibe in Bali is super relaxed. And whether you’re here for the photos and fashion or to set your inner hippie free, you’ll fit right in.

If you’re beaching it up, then your Bali essentials will include a pair of shorts and a tank top which you’ll wear over your bathing suit.

Then, when the sun begins to set, you’ll pop into a warung or beach bar. And it’s totally acceptable to be in the same clothes you wore earlier in the day.

What I love most about Bali is that I never feel as if I need to look or dress a certain way.

It’s not pretentious, and it’s not image-conscious (although some who visit Seminyak or Canggu may argue with me on this one).

a few things to note when packing for Bali

The seasons.

Indonesia has a tropical climate, so it’s relatively warm all year round.

But there are two distinct seasons, and your Bali must-haves will be dependent on the time of year you’re visiting.

Packing for the dry season (May-September)

The dry season is from May to September. During this time, the days are sunny and warm, and the nights are a moderate temperature.

You might need a warm top for those sunrise scooter missions, but overall, the temperature is pretty warm.

This is my favorite time to visit as it’s not scorching hot, and it’s not rainy either.

Packing for Bali’s wet season (October-April)

As the name suggests, the wet season can be extremely, er wet !

You’ll need to keep a rain poncho handy as the storms sneak up on you. Expect daily downpours, but they only last for an hour or so.

And with the rain comes the humidity!

Yep, Bali in December, January, and February is ridiculously hot and humid. It’s next level and can be uncomfortable.

This weather applies to the entire country, so if you’re planning on visiting more Indonesian islands during your trip, this is something you’ll need to consider when deciding what to pack for Bali.

Appropriate clothing to wear in Bali

It’s important to be respectful of the Balinese culture. When visiting temples or sacred places, dress appropriately and cover your shoulders, chest, and knees.

Don’t worry too much if you haven’t packed long pants, as it’s common practice to rent sarongs from the vendors outside the temples.

But when you leave and hit the beaches, just about anything goes.

The type of traveler you are

How you prefer to travel will determine what you add to your Bali packing list.

Me? I’m always on some adventure, so I just bring what I need.

This packing list includes Bali travel essentials, but I’ve added those extra items that you may want to bring along if you’re a luxury traveler or if you’re moving to Bali for a few months.

Bali Packing List: Your Bags

Before you do anything, you’ll first need to decide what you’re going to pack everything into.

Large Backpack

If you’re a luxury traveler embarking on a 5* resort holiday with private transfers, then you’ll get away with a hard-wheelie suitcase like this .

But for everyone else, use a backpack!

“ But backpacks are for backpackers ” you might add.

Well, before my first Bali trip, I’d only ever used hard suitcases for my travels. I must have been living under a rock because backpacks are game-changers!

And they’re not only for backpackers – they’re for everyone.

Backpacks like this one are so convenient! They’re light, easy to carry, and won’t get muddy or wet (as you won’t have to drag it through dirt roads, rice fields, or between ferries).

And with all the activities and attractions in Bali, you’re most likely going to be moving around quite a bit. If that’s the case, a backpack is the way to go.

Carry-on backpack or day bag

Having a good carry-on backpack is crucial to every Bali packing list. This over-the-shoulder bag is needed for all your day trips, beach-hopping shenanigans, and scooter missions.

Store your water, snacks, phone, camera, sunscreen, and beach towel in here. You’ll be all set and ready for the day.

In addition, I also packed in one of these small foldable backpacks . They are so light and came in handy throughout our trip.

Packing cubes

Packing cubes are essential travel items that should be on your packing list no matter where you’re going.

They can be used to separate all your clothing items, from swimwear to underwear, dresses to shorts.

Packing cubes like this are affordable and come in sets of 3 or 4 varying sizes so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

And they’re not only for clothes! Here’s what else I use packing cubes for:

• Laundry bag: Laundry in Bali is so cheap with hostels and homestays offering laundry services for under $5! Keep your dirty clothes aside and have them washed every few days. They’ll be returned the next day, washed, dried, and neatly folded.
• Toiletry bag: Who needs a toiletry bag when you have packing cubes.
• Make-up bag: Ladies, don’t judge me for this! Instead of spending money on a fancy makeup bag, use a packing cube instead.

What to Wear in Bali (Female)

Deciding what to bring to Bali is no easy task – especially for us ladies.

You want to be prepared for every occasion, but that often means overpacking. Don’t do that!

When traveling to Bali, less is more!

While the Instagram pics may showcase a more dolled-up side to Bali, the island is super easy-going, and it’s totally acceptable to wear the same shorts and tank tops day in and day out.

Here’s what to add to your Bali packing list (Women)

If you’re planning on hiking Mount Batur or doing a walk through the rice fields, you’ll need a pair of closed shoes.

They’ll get very dirty, so don’t bring your new sneakers! You can also wear these on your scooter trips and during the flight.

I have a pair of these Hoka’s , and I love them as they are so versatile. I use them for running, hiking, and exploring (and they look good too)!

Flip flops (Havaianas)

Every Bali checking list should include a pair of flip-flops. I wore mine every single day – to the beach, shops, restaurants, and bars.

Buy Havaianas here.

I have a pair of these Ray-Ban Wayfarers , and they’re great for Bali as you can wear them on a hike yet also at a beach club.

I have a baseball hat like this and love it as it’s easy to travel with. While the wide-brimmed sun hats look fab, they are a mission to pack.

3 tank tops

These tank tops are light, quick-drying, and don’t take up much space. They’re best worn to the beach and when you’re going out. Check these out.

Bring 2 tops like this that cover your chest and shoulders.

These can be worn when visiting temples, hiking, or doing yoga. And if you get a bit too much sun, you’re going to want to cover up the next day, so these are great for that.

3 pairs of shorts

I recommend a pair of denim shorts and 2 light shorts that you can wear over your bathing suit.

1 pair of yoga pants

I always carry a pair of long tights/yoga pants with me. You can use them for yoga, exercise, and also travel in them.

Here’s the pair I have (and love).

2 sundresses

Bring 1 or 2 flowy dresses that you can dress up or down.

2 bikinis/bathing suits

You might be tempted to bring more, but 2 is enough.

2 sarongs or beach cover-ups

I wore my sarong just about every day. After wearing it around the beaches in Uluwatu, I converted it into a dress or skirt and then hit the warungs on the cliffs.

Although it will be hot, bring a light jacket like this to wear in the mornings, on boat trips, and for your flight.

Avoid a denim jacket as it takes up a lot of space, and you may not even need it.

Cross-body bag

A crossbody bag is a travel essential for Bali that can used when going for dinners or drinks.

It doesn’t need to be big – just something that can fit your purse, phone, and keys. I have this one which comes in 12 different colors.

Other Bali travel essentials for women

• Summer PJ’s
• 3 pairs of socks
• 6 underwear

What to take to Bali (Men)

It’s so easy for guys to pack for Bali. Gary had half the amount of clothing that I did!

• 2 x boardshorts
• 1 x smart shorts
• 4 x round neck t-shirts
• 1 x collar shirt/Polo
• 1 x light jacket
• 1 x exercise top (for hiking)
• 1 x exercise pants (for hiking)
• 6 x underpants
• 1 Pair of trainers

Other things to pack for Bali

Beach towel.

While homestays and hotels will provide you with bath towels, you’ll still need to pack a small, lightweight towel for the beach.

It should be small enough to fit in your day backpack, along with the other items, so don’t bring a large heavy towel. These are the best , and they’re quick drying.

Reusable water bottle

The tap water in Bali is not safe to drink.

Your accommodation may offer complimentary water that you can decanter into smaller reusable water bottles like this .

If this isn’t an option, purchase the bigger 10l water canisters from the corner store and decanter them into smaller bottles for your day trips.

Combination locks

I’ve never had a problem with theft in Bali.

But if you’re traveling in big tour buses or overland to other islands, then bring a combination lock to keep your items safe.

Buy your combination lock here.

• Shampoo and conditioner (2 in 1): I’ll let you in on a secret. When I’m traveling, I use the 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner for my hair and body so no need to bring a separate body wash
• Moisturizer
• Body cream: After hours in the sun, you’re going to want to moisturize
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Sunscreen: bring a factor 50 for your face and a 30 for your body. Reef-safe sunscreen is the way to go!
• Make-up: Don’t pack too much makeup. All you need is a bit of foundation, mascara, and blush
• Hair ties and clips

First Aid Kit

There’s no need to go overboard with medical supplies. The island has everything!

But I recommend you add these items to your packing list for Bali.

• Paracetamol
• Bandages/plasters
• Antiseptic cream
• Mosquito spray
• GoPro: If you don’t have one, buy one! You’ll want to capture all your favorite memories (and they’re also great for selfies)
• Portable power bank: Your phone battery may not last an entire day when you’re using it to follow Google maps and taking photos every two minutes. You’re going to need a portable power bank like this (and make sure it’s charged)
• Adapter: US plug ports don’t work in Bali. The plugs here take twin round pins, similar to European and South African pins. If you buy this universal power adapter , you’ll be able to use it worldwide (and not only in Bali)
• Speaker: A speaker will come in handy when you’re chilling at your homestay with a Bintang in hand, playing an intense game of cards. We used ours often but if you’re planning on being on the go all the time, then it might not be necessary.

Travel Insurance

When you’re hiking volcanoes, driving scooters, eating street food, and dodging traffic, you need to be covered for emergencies.

The amount of people who don’t travel with insurance is really scary.

In Bali, it’s a common occurrence for foreigners to end up in the hospital due to motorbike accidents, food poisoning, and even dengue fever. Make sure you’re covered in case this happens to you.

I personally use World Nomads when traveling as they cover everything from stolen luggage, missed flights, natural disasters, vehicle accidents, as well as activities such as surfing and scuba diving.

Essential Travel Items to Pack for Bali

• Debit and credit card: bring both as you never know if one will give you issues
• Driving license and International Driving License
• Copy of Passport, Travel insurance, Drivers, accommodation booking
• Passport wallet to hold your Passport and other important documents (all of the above)
• Money purse: When going on day trips or scooter adventures, don’t travel with a big wallet.
• Instead, keep your cards, drivers’ licenses, and other documents in your travel wallet (above) and use a small money pouch to carry cash for the day’s activities

Non-Essential Items That You Might Want to Pack

Here are a few extra items that you might want to include on your Bali packing list, although most are not necessary.

A pair of sandals: If you’re planning a nice dinner in Seminyak (Motel Mexicola is awesome) or a champagne brunch in Nusa Dua (St Regis is incredible) then you’ll need a pair of sandals. But if these types of activities aren’t on your Bali itinerary, leave them at home.

A dry bag: Planning on doing a bit of island hopping, snorkeling, or diving? Bring a dry bag to keep your things safe. But honestly, these dry bags do take up a bit of space so if you’re only doing 1 or 2 boat trips, then it’s not entirely necessary.

A beach bag: Some people may prefer to have a nice beach bag for their day out in the sun. A tote bag also works well and takes up little space. Or better yet, leave these at home and use your small backpack instead – that’s what I did.

Snorkel and mask: The snorkeling in Bali isn’t much to write home about. The Gili Islands and Nusa Penida are a different story though. But carrying around bulky snorkeling gear is a mission and it’s easier to rent them on the islands.

Exercise clothes: Unless you’ll be doing yoga or exercising every day, don’t bring any workout gear. All you need is a pair of yoga pants (which I included earlier) and a normal top.

Money: You don’t need to bring Indonesian Rupiah with you to Bali as there are several ATMs just outside the arrival terminal at the airport.

Rashguard or swim shirt: If you’re learning to surf and expect to spend hours in the water, then you may want to consider adding a rash guard to your Bali packing list.

Rain Poncho: Traveling during the dry season (May-September)? Don’t pack a poncho! But you’ll need one for the rainy season. They’re sold on every street corner so you can pick one up in Bali, they’re far more affordable here.

Playing cards: I always travel with a pack of cards!

The book “Snowing in Bali “: I don’t read much but this book is amazing and I couldn’t put it down. It’s all about the history of drugs and gangs in Bali. Super interesting! Read the reviews here.

What Not to Add to Your Bali Packing List

• Expensive jewelry: Or any jewelry for that matter. It’s not needed.
• High heels: No one wears heels in Bali. Rather bring a nice pair of sandals.
• Jeans: They’re heavy and bulky and you won’t wear them because it’s so hot.
• Water shoes: I’ve seen a few Bali packing list blog posts that recommend bringing a pair of water shoes. While these could come in handy when you’re walking over the rocks in Uluwatu, they aren’t necessary, and I never needed them during my time on the island.

FAQ’s about Things to take to Bali

What bags to carry in bali.

I recommend bringing 3 bags to Bali: a large travel backpack to store all your clothes, a small over-the-shoulder backpack for day trips, and a crossbody bag for your cell phone and wallet.

Is it best to take a suitcase or backpack to Bali?

If you plan on moving around a bit and staying on either the Gili or Nusa Islands, I recommend bringing a travel backpack. Backpacks are a lot easier to carry around.

Should I wear jeans in Bali?

No, jeans are not necessary for Bali as it is too hot and humid. Rather bring a pair of linen trousers and long sun dresses.

Bali Travel Tips

Now that you’re all packed and ready to go, all that’s left is to get on a flight! If this is your first time in Bali, here are some of the best things to do and travel tips for visiting the island.

What to pack for sri lanka: the ultimate sri lanka packing list, 8 thoughts on “the ultimate bali packing list: 60 things to pack for bali”.

Hi there!!! This is so helpful !!! Thank you thank you!!! I do have a question. We are travelling to Bali in December arriving on the 19th…. I don’t want to spend Christmas in ubud would rather be beach side. Could we start at the bottom and end in seminyak?

Hi Lindsay, I’m so glad you found this post helpful. When you say “start at the bottom” do you mean to start your trip in Ubud and the end in Seminyak? You certainly can! But get your accommodation bookings in quickly as you’ll be traveling during peak season. Have fun!

Fellow saffa but been located in the U.S for the past 10 years. I stumbled across your website by chance. I am really glad I did. I am at crossroads as well, mid-life crisis perhaps nonetheless I need change. I’ll be 40 this year July, and have lost the drive/purpose I once had in my 20/30s. Clearly a hard reset is in order. Your postings have inspired that little dormant flame inside again. First visit to bali I’ll aim to visit for 3-4 weeks… I was looking to do this in May 2023.

Questions I have: Did you check your main backpack in? Or was all your luggage carry on only?

I’ll be traveling solo. Any advice for this old guy?

For me the goal is finding purpose, finding who I was before I moved to the U.S. Why I lost the joy in life. Why I dread each day of this rat race. Probably a bit too much information to share… providing context.

Thanks to both you and Gary for sharing your adventures.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi James, thanks so much for your kind words! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I checked my main baggage in as it weighed 15kgs. If you’re a light packer, you could get away with a carry on only but be sure to check the airline baggage restrictions first. And take a backpack rather than a suitcase with wheels. It will make your life so much easier. Enjoy!

Going to Bali in August. 7 days in Ubud and some more time by the beach after. Recently heard some horror stories about huge spiders /flying bugs made it inside the bedroom. Have you experienced this? What can we expect? Thanks 🙏

Hi Michelle, you are going to love Ubud! Yes, there are spiders and bugs, but I never experienced anything that made me feel uncomfortable (and spiders and snakes are my worst fear). I never had any bad experiences and don’t recall seeing anything big or frightening. If you’re going far off the beaten track, then you will come across more of that – but Ubud is considered more developed and your chances of seeing huge spiders and bugs is minimal so you don’t need to worry! Have a great time in Bali. Carryn

I am visiting Bali between 23 July and 23 Aug for 30 days. Will be my first time. I am planning to stay in Ubud for at least 10-15 days however the remaining days i’d like to stay in an area where i can possibly enjoy a nice beach and take some surfing classes for beginners. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for the 2nd part of my trip as to where to stay ( could be multiple locations )

Thanks in advance

What type of vibe are you looking? It seems like you have 15 days extra – I suggest visiting 2 or 3 areas.

– If you’re a beginner surfer, then Canggu is a good place to learn. But it’s busy and the surf is crowded (which I didn’t enjoy). – Uluwatu has amazing white sandy beaches but they’re not ideal for beginner surfers due to the size of the waves and the reef. You could try Bingin Beach or Balangan Beach as I’ve had good beginner lessons here (but go on a higher tide, as the reef is gnarly on low tide) – Nusa Lembongan is an amazing island that’s a short boat ride from Bali. The beaches here are awesome and there’s incredible snorkeling with Manta Rays.

I have this guide on the best areas to stay in Bali which might be helpful.

Enjoy your trip! Carryn

That is why a Bali tour is idyllic for your vacation because Bali tourism will leave you spellbound!So go through Bali tour packages today to plan a wonderful vacation for yourself and your loved ones.

Bali: An Overview

Here are some basic details about Bali that you must know when you book Bali tour packages.

Currency : Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)

Symbol : ‘Rp’

Best Time to Visit : April to October

Visa for India: An Indian national who has booked a Bali tour, must apply for a B-211 Visa in the Indonesian embassy.

Official Language : Balinese

Popular Places to Visit : Denpasar, Kuta, Ubud & Jimbaran are some of the hotspots that should not be missed when you plan your Bali tour.

Bali Currency

The official currency of Indonesia is Rupiah, whose ISO 4217 currency code is IDR. Indonesians also refer to the ‘rupiah’ as Perak in their informal tone. This term is specific to using coins in Rupiah. The symbol of Rupiah is ‘Rp’. 1 INR = 195.00720 IDR, which means that a Bali excursion can be done within the amount you’d spend on India tours!Many India tour packages would cost more!

Best Time to Visit Bali

The best time to dive into Bali tourism is from April to October when the summer dances in Bali and the island sees a dry season. November to March marks the rainy season that does bring in mosquitoes! But if you don’t mind a little rain, you can find the jungles and the paddy fields in full bloom. Tour the temples, do yoga, and find relaxation during the rains, with your Bali tour packages.

How to Reach

Air travel is the best way to reach Bali from India. While booking holiday tour packages to Bali, you can make prior transport reservations, e.g. - from the airport to the hotel.

Official Language

The official language of Indonesia is Balinese which is a Malayo-Polynesian language. However, English is the common language used for Bali tourism. You can book a tourist guide in your Bali tour package who can speak French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese or German.

Bali Tourist Places

Bali tourism offers a wide range of places for all kinds of travel enthusiasts. Here are some of the most prominent Bali tourist places that you must check out:

Pura Tanah Lot Temple

Sitting 20 km away from Kuta, the Tanah Lot Temple is a seaside spectacle that is a site of great reverence for the people of Bali. Perched on an offshore rock, it’s a fabulous place to witness a beautiful sunset. Take a walk near the temple area at low tide and soak in the magnificent setting. Later, you can sample the civet coffee at some of the rock cafes. It is recommended to don a sarong, sash plus respectful attire when coming here. After visiting it, you will also say that Tanah Lot Temple is a gem of Bali tourism.

Mount Batur

If you love adventure, then you must include Mt. Batur in your holidays. Mt. Batur is a sacred active volcano in the Kintamani district, about an hour’s drive away from Ubud. At sunrise, many visitors trek the 1,700-metre summit of Mt. Batur to watch the sunrise above the mist-shrouded mountains. The hike can take two to three hours and stands along a well-marked trail. Guided tours are also available with an omelette breakfast, cooked from the volcanic steam. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended along with two layers before sunrise to beat the cold. When here, you can visit the rustic village of Toya Bungkah located at the banks of Lake Batur.

’Happening’ is one word to define this sandy Bali tourist place! Take a walk along Kuta’s sandy shore that is super close to the Seminyak and the Legian beaches. Soak up the sunset views, take surf lessons, or eat at the aplenty cafes that line the beach. Simply lounge on rented sun loungers, read a book or snap memorable pictures. Do try the cold coconut slush with juice on a sultry day here. You can also explore the Nusa Islands to experience slower-paced life with Bali tourism.

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan

Located on a tiny island near the western shore of Lake Bratan, sits the 17th century-old Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. It’s important for Bali tourism due to many reasons.

Ans. Bali is one of the world’s foremost beachside destinations, offering several natural wonders and historical attractions alike. Planning a Bali tour package necessitates an idea of the seasons on the island and the best time to visit. The wet season encompasses the duration between November and March while the dry season encompasses the period between April and October. April to August is the peak tourist season. The rainy season is between November and March, although Bali does get sizeable footfalls during this period, with the island sporting lush natural greenery at the time.
