Bali / Best time to visit
Best time to visit Bali
Season patterns for Bali in plain terms — when the weather cooperates, when crowds and prices peak, and when to think twice.
The seasons
Bali through the year
Peak season
April to October is the dry season — the reliable window for beaches, volcano hikes and island trips, with July and August the busiest and priciest months.
Shoulder seasons
March and November are transition months: some rain, greener landscapes and thinner crowds.
Low season
December to February is the wet season, with heavy downpours and rougher seas for boat trips, though mornings are often fine.
Festivals and dates to know
Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence (usually in March), shuts the whole island down for a day — including the airport — and is a remarkable thing to plan around, not into.
Month by month
Bali: month-by-month guidance
General guidance only, based on typical seasonal patterns — weather varies from year to year, and local events can change the picture in any given month. It is a planning steer, not a forecast and not climate data.
