Yana visited Bali in 2008 and her experience was far from amazing. She spent most of her time in Kuta and Uluwatu and didn’t love the beaches or the drunken party scene. Fast forward 10 years later, and our experience was completely different. We absolutely loved Bali and found that it had far more to offer than a lively party scene on Kuta Beach. The longer we stayed in Bali, the more we loved it. But if you’re just visiting, one week in Bali is enough time to explore stunning temples, waterfalls, picture-perfect rice fields, and white sand beaches. Bali has been a popular tourist destination for decades and it has only become more popular. There is a perfect mix for both budget travelers as well as high-end luxury tourism. The culture is wonderful with beautiful sites, the people are friendly, and the food is really good and inexpensive. We think you can stay in Bali forever, but one week is enough time to see the main highlights. Check out our recommended itinerary to help you plan your trip!

When to Visit Bali The best time to visit is during the dry season between April to October. The wet season in Bali is between November and March, but the rain usually only lasts for a couple of hours. Sadly during that time, the beaches see a huge influx of trash due to currents. Crowds are much lower during the rainy season except during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. How to Get Around Bali Kelingking Beach at Nusa Penida, a short ferry from Bali Hiring a driver or renting a scooter are the two main sources of transportation in Bali. We recommend hiring a driver for the longer journeys between destinations and for sightseeing. It is a good idea to download the Grab app for direct journeys and to and from the airport. If you have experience riding a scooter or motorcycle, you can rent one to get around locally. Traffic conditions in Bali are a challenge for novice riders, so keep that in mind as you venture out in Bali.

GUEST POST BY OLIVIA BOURKEBLOG Great Lost What’s the best time to visit Bali? The best time to visit is between April and June because room prices will be cut by up to 50%, and the climate is dry and less humid. The worst time to visit is during July, August and any holiday period. Avoid the holiday season as the weather is monsoonal. November has also recently become a high season, with Australian teenagers spending their schoolies here. If you are looking to party, this time is great, though if you want a more relaxing holiday avoid November.
