Best Time to Visit BaliApr 11 2025 | | Posted by Noey Widiarsa |
Before you visit Bali, you should know when is the best time to travel to the island. During certain months, the island can get very busy and other months are the rainy season which does not favor water activities. This article will explain to you the best time to travel to Bali.
In Bali, you will find two seasons, dry and rainy. Depending on your travel style, the rainy season may be more considerate than the dry season. Likewise, the dry season is sometimes better than visiting Bali during high rainfall.
Here's a more detailed explanation of the conditions of the two seasons:
Bali's rainy season runs from November to March. During this time, there are not many tourists, especially in less popular destinations. You can be more satisfied exploring every corner of Bali without being disturbed by other tourists.
When it rains, the temperature may be higher and rain usually occurs in the morning and evening. After a heavy downpour, the sky will clear up again. Even so, it's important to know where the rain lasts longer. So is the precise time at which the wind becomes very strong during heavy rain.
January and April are tropical cyclone times with heavy rains and strong winds. So, Bali gets quiet in January after a very busy December. If you don't want to be swarmed by tourists, this is the time to go. The rainy season is not a good time for water activities including surfing and snorkeling.
Why? Rain makes the sea visibility poor so you don't get the best dive safety. When it rains, at least you can still relax at a restaurant or cafe, do a yoga session, or a workshop.
In Bali, the dry season occurs from April to October and can be the best time to go to Bali. No matter what your favorite outdoor activity is, the dry season will not hinder you. The peak of the dry season is June-July. Many tourists come during these months.
During the dry season, you may find fees to be expensive. You will also encounter more tourists, especially in tourist destinations. The dry season can be a great time for hiking, and snorkeling.
If you want to enjoy better visibility while snorkeling, you can do it from May to September. Rainfall becomes very low and underwater visibility becomes very clear.

In Bali, cultural festivals are often held, you can come from June to July when festivals are often held. There is also an independence festival in August. During the festival, there will be massive parades and certain events.
