Bali Private Tours for 2025

Generally speaking, April to October is the best time for visiting Bali due to the dry weather. However, don't worry if you travel at any other time, as you will find green areas in the rice fields in Bali throughout the year and plenty to enjoy despite the rains, and you won't be disappointed.

In general, Bali is considered a safe destination, since very few visitors come across any real problems.

Bali has been the scene of Islamic terrorist attacks targeting nightclubs and restaurants popular among foreign visitors in 2002 and other less notorious attacks averaging one/year over the last two decades, so remain vigilant and take special care since terrorist acts cannot be predicted.

When it comes to beaches, if there is a red flag planted in the sand, do not swim there, since the currents can be extremely strong.

To protect your money, use only authorized money changers, and when withdrawing money from ATM use the ones that are inside the bank.

While the weather in Bali tends to be very warm year-round, and beach clothes are usually enough (plus hiking clothes etc. according to your plans), it's always good to bring a light rain jacket — this is the tropics and you do get caught in some sudden tropical storms! And you may want to pack a little extra rain gear if you're headed to Bali in the rainy season — November, December, or January.

There were two periods that were considered the peak times in Bali:

• Christmas, when the island is visited mainly by Australians and New Zealanders.
• July and August, which is the European summertime and school holidays.

During those times, the prices of accommodation in Bali skyrocketed and the main places to visit in Bali were overcrowded. There is a slow return to these trends, but there is no overcrowding and no seasonal price hikes as yet. Other than Christmas and summer, "high season" is the drier months of April to October.
