Common questions about visiting Bali answered by travel experts
The best things to do in Bali include visiting ancient temples (Tanah Lot, Uluwatu), exploring rice terraces in Ubud, relaxing on beaches in Seminyak and Nusa Dua, diving in Tulamben, rafting on Ayung River, watching traditional dance performances, and hiking Mount Batur for sunrise.
We recommend 5-7 days to experience major attractions. For a relaxed trip covering Ubud, beaches, and cultural sites, 10-14 days is ideal. Split time between Seminyak (beaches), Ubud (culture), and Nusa Penida (island adventure).
The dry season (April-October) is best, with July-August being peak months. Shoulder months (April, May, June, September) offer great weather with fewer crowds. The wet season still offers lower prices and lush landscapes.
Budget travelers can spend $20-40/day, mid-range $50-100/day, and luxury $150-500+/day. Activities cost $20-100. Overall, Bali offers excellent value compared to Western destinations.
Avoid drinking tap water, dress modestly at temples, don't engage with illegal drugs, use registered tour operators, respect local customs, and be cautious of tourist scams.
Many nationalities can get a 30-day Visa on Arrival (~$35 USD), extendable for another 30 days. Some countries have visa-free access. E-VOA is available online. Ensure your passport is valid for 6+ months.
