✈️ Plan Your Trip to Bali

Everything you need to know before arriving on the Island of the Gods — packed into one simple guide.

Planning your trip to Bali doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With just a bit of preparation, you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free start to your island adventure. Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this page covers all the essentials — what to pack, how to get around, visa information, the best time to travel, staying connected, and staying covered.

What to Pack for Bali

Bali has a tropical climate, which means warm weather year-round, so lightweight clothing is key. Pack breathable outfits for the day, a couple of swimwear options, and something a little dressy for sunset dinners. A sarong will come in handy for temple visits, and sandals or flip-flops are perfect for beach days and general exploring. Don’t forget sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a reusable water bottle, and any medications you might need. If you’re planning to hike or visit rural areas, sturdy shoes and a light rain jacket will serve you well. Power adapters for Indonesia use the European-style round two-pin plugs.

Getting Around Bali

Transport in Bali is easy to arrange once you’re here. Many travelers hire private drivers for day trips or airport transfers, which is affordable and much more comfortable than trying to figure out the roads on your own. For shorter distances, ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek work well, though availability can vary in some remote areas. Scooters are a popular choice and widely available for rent, but they’re best suited for confident drivers with experience. If you’re traveling as a family or in a group, hiring a car with a driver is the most practical and enjoyable option — and helps support local drivers too.

Visa Information

For most nationalities, Bali offers a straightforward visa process. If you’re from one of the 80+ eligible countries, you can enter Bali with a Visa on Arrival, which allows you to stay for up to 30 days and can be extended once for another 30. The visa fee is payable at the airport upon landing or can be arranged online ahead of time. If you plan to stay longer or are unsure about your visa status, it’s always best to double-check with your nearest Indonesian consulate or embassy. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

Best Time to Visit Bali

Bali is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what kind of trip you’re after. The dry season, from April to October, is ideal for beach days, hiking, and outdoor activities. These months are sunny and less humid, making it perfect for first-timers or couples on honeymoon. November to March marks the rainy season, which brings heavier showers and higher humidity — but also fewer crowds, lush green scenery, and often lower accommodation prices. If you’re into surfing, May through September brings the best waves on the west coast.

SIM Cards & Staying Connected

Staying connected in Bali is simple and affordable. Upon arrival, you’ll find SIM cards available at the airport or in convenience stores and phone shops across the island. Telkomsel and XL Axiata are the two most reliable providers, offering strong coverage even in more rural areas. Most travelers opt for prepaid tourist SIM packages that come with a mix of data and call time. You’ll need to show your passport when purchasing. Alternatively, many travelers now use eSIMs for a hassle-free setup, especially if you just need mobile data during your stay. Free Wi-Fi is available at most hotels, villas, cafés, and coworking spaces.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is one of those things you hope not to need — but when you do, it’s absolutely worth it. Bali is safe and welcoming, but accidents, flight delays, lost baggage, or health issues can still happen. Good travel insurance should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost or stolen belongings, and activities like surfing or motorbiking if you plan to do those. Always read the fine print and choose a plan that fits your style of travel. If you’re renting a scooter, make sure your insurance covers motorbike-related incidents and that you have the proper license.
