Best Time to Visit
Best time for Bali and most islands. Less humidity, clear skies. Peak season Jul-Aug.
Afternoon tropical showers, usually brief. Cheaper accommodation. Surfing season on Bali's west coast.
Transition to dry. Great weather, fewer crowds than Jul-Aug. Good value.
End of dry season. Still excellent weather. Quieter than peak months.
Top Things to Do
Ubud, Bali
Cultural heart of Bali. Rice terraces, monkey forest, yoga retreats, and art galleries. Stay at least 3 days.
Borobudur Temple, Java
The world's largest Buddhist temple. Sunrise tours are atmospheric. Combine with nearby Prambanan Hindu temple.
Nusa Penida
Dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear water, and manta ray snorkelling. Day trip from Bali or stay overnight for fewer crowds.
Komodo National Park
Home to Komodo dragons. Pink Beach, remarkable snorkelling, and manta ray diving. Fly to Labuan Bajo.
Bali Food Scene
Nasi goreng, satay, babi guling (suckling pig). Warungs (local eateries) serve amazing food for $2-3.

Three tiny islands off Lombok. No cars or motorbikes. Gili T for parties, Gili Air for chill, Gili Meno for honeymooners.
Mount Bromo, Java
Active volcano with a surreal moonscape. Sunrise jeep tours from Probolinggo. One of the most photographed spots in Indonesia.
Raja Ampat, Papua
The planet's most biodiverse marine area. Excellent diving and snorkelling. Remote and expensive to reach, but unmatched.
