Changing Seasons in Bali: Where to Go and What to Do Right Now

Bali is a tropical paradise that attracts travelers year-round. Whether you want to sunbathe, try surfing, climb a volcano, or explore the local culture, there’s something for everyone. Like any tropical region, Bali has two seasons: dry and rainy. During the rainy season, the island remains green and warm, but the weather can be unpredictable: the sky may be overcast, the ocean can be rough, and some activities may become temporarily unavailable.

Currently, one of the best periods of the year is beginning in Bali. The rainy season is receding: the weather is stabilizing, the ocean is becoming calmer, trails are drying out, and underwater visibility for diving and snorkeling is excellent again.

The wind direction is changing, and surfing moves to the western coast: Canggu, Kuta, and Uluwatu. The weather remains favorable for long sea trips to Komodo or Nusa Penida, making them easy and pleasant. Everything that was hard to access or uncomfortable during the rainy season now opens up in a new light.

The dry season in Bali lasts from April to September and is considered ideal for travel. Sunny days, minimal rainfall, and comfortable air temperatures (from 25 to 30°C) create excellent conditions for beach relaxation, water sports, and island excursions. From June to August, a pleasant sea breeze blows across the island—bringing coolness and freshness while the ocean water becomes slightly colder. Evenings during this time are particularly comfortable: with a light chill that feels so nice after a busy day.

We have gathered the best seasonal offers from MyBaliTrips—with verified itineraries, reliable guides, and clear organization. We know which activities are especially great right now and are ready to make your vacation in Bali bright, rich in experiences, and completely carefree.

If you want to have the best impressions of Bali, here are some tours you should embark on right now.

Nusa Penida: Snorkeling with Majestic Mantas

Nusa Penida is the island closest to Bali. It is known for its rugged coastlines, diverse underwater world, and breathtaking landscapes. Here lies Kelingking Beach—the postcard image of Bali. You’ve surely seen photos of this place online. With the arrival of the dry season, Nusa Penida becomes particularly attractive for travel.

Swimming with mantas is one of the most vivid experiences you can have in Bali. The best spots to encounter these graceful giants in their natural habitat are off the coast of Nusa Penida. During the dry season, the ocean is calmer, increasing your chances of seeing mantas significantly.

To truly feel the atmosphere of the island, choose a multi-day tour to Nusa Penida.

Surfing on Bali's West Coast

The dry season is the perfect time to try surfing. During this period on Bali's west coast—in Canggu, Kuta, and Uluwatu—consistent waves form while the ocean calms down.

The famous spots in Uluwatu are suited for experienced surfers. For beginners, waves on the southwestern coast of the island are ideal. Kuta, Canggu, Seminyak, Batu Bolong—all these places offer perfect waves for newcomers. Our experienced instructors will find a suitable spot for you and help you confidently stand on your board during your first lesson or refine your technique. You won’t have to search for a board or instructor; everything is included.

Start this season with new experiences and conquer your first wave right now.

Canyoning in Northern Bali: Your Active Adventure

Want to step outside your usual vacation routine and truly experience the island? Canyoning in Bali is an active adventure for those who want more than just to admire waterfalls; they want to be part of it all. You will rappel down cliffs with ropes, jump into natural pools, slide down water slides, and trek through jungles along picturesque routes in northern parts of the island that not every tourist reaches. An experienced instructor will accompany you and provide all necessary equipment. This tour suits both beginners and those who have long wanted to test themselves.

Try canyoning in Bali—an experience that will stay with you for a long time.

Komodo: The Island of Dragons and Pink Beaches

The dry season is the best time for a sea trip to Komodo Archipelago since your journey no longer depends on fickle weather conditions. This place is famous for its futuristic landscapes and unique inhabitants—the Komodo dragons. Another unique natural phenomenon attracting tourists from around the world is undoubtedly its pink beaches. The sand on these beaches has a gentle pink hue created by mixing white coral sand with fragments of red coral crushed by waves.

Traveling to Komodo requires careful planning due to its remoteness and limited transport options. There are no direct cruises from Bali Island; however you can explore Komodo Archipelago by speedboat in one day or take a sailing yacht with cabins for multi-day cruises.

Choose your sea adventure through Komodo Archipelago and create memories that will last forever!

Waterfalls and Northern Bali: The Power of Nature

Ubud and northern Bali offer an entirely different pace of life. There’s no noise from southern beaches here; instead there are mountains, volcanoes, morning mist—and waterfalls that are especially picturesque after the rainy season.

If you dream of simply disconnecting for a day and being one with nature while swimming in Ubud's most beautiful waterfalls or strolling through jungles—choose a waterfall tour. A short journey after which both body and mind feel recharged.

And if you want to see more—embark on a magical trip to northern Bali. In just one day you'll see lush rice terraces recognized as UNESCO heritage sites; immerse yourself in the magical charm of Ulun Danu Beratan Temple; enjoy cool waters at Banyumala Waterfall—a tour designed for those who want to experience what lies beyond tourist routes.

Diving in Bali: Meeting Underwater Life

Diving in Bali offers a safe yet thrilling adventure suitable for both beginners and experienced divers alike. With the end of rainy season comes crystal-clear waters off Bali’s coast along with maximum visibility. Turtles, octopuses, vibrant coral reefs—moray eels—and even mantas can all be seen during your first dive.

For exploring underwater life around this island consider diving spots like Blue Lagoon or Tulamben where marine life dazzles with colors and diversity! If you're into marine adventures mixed with mystical stories about sunken ships—dive at Tulamben where an American ship named "Liberty" sank during World War II!
