    Bali Highlights

    Beach at sunset with surfers riding the waves, Bali

    Canggu

    Famed for its epic surf spots, boho beach bars, and palm-fringed coast, there's always something exciting going on in Canggu. This lively destination can match any pace, whether you're craving a lazy beach day or a wild night out. When you're not hitting the waves, discover some of the island's dreamiest food spots on our Bali trips.

    Ubud

    Emerald paddy fields, water temples, yoga retreats: Ubud embodies everything there is to love about Bali. This vibrant region is even more enchanting in person as you wander through the rice terraces, uncover its range of temples, or chill out in one of the famous infinity pools. Whatever you get up to here, Ubud's charm is magnetic.

    White sandy beach with bright turquoise ocean and a boat to the right, and an island in the distance, Gili Trawangan

    Gili Trawangan

    If you picture paradise, Gili Trawangan will take you there. When heavenly stretches of white sand, colourful marine life, stunning underwater statues, and iconic nightlife are all on offer, it's hard to pick a favourite moment here. One thing's for sure - the memories made in Gili T on our Bali tours will stay with you for life.

    Ubud Monkey Forest

    Deep inside Ubud's lush jungle, you'll discover a temple sanctuary home to over 1,200 long-tailed macaque monkeys. Step into another world and spot these cheeky creatures crawling along the ancient temples, or swinging from the treetops. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won't want to miss while on our Bali group tours.

    Tall grey cliffs covered in emerald flora by secluded white sandy beach and surrounded by bright sapphire ocean, Nusa Penida

    Nusa Penida

    Rugged and wild, Nusa Penida's natural beauty is sublime. After ticking the Kelingking and Diamond Beach viewpoints off your Bali bucket list (aka, some of the best vistas in your life), this island has adventure around every corner. It's not every day that you get to snorkel in the friendly company of manta rays, or kick back in paradise!

    Mount Batur

    There's nothing like experiencing the magic of Mount Batur at sunrise. After hiking under the stars to the summit, the sky reveals its most beautiful colours over a blanket of clouds below. On a clear day, you can spot Bali's highest peak, Mount Agung, in the distance, as well as the neighbouring island of Lombok.

    Bali Island-Hopping

    After exploring the "Island of the Gods", even more paradise landscapes beckon beyond its shores. From snorkelling in the Gili islands' famously crystal-clear waters to hiking along the stunning cliff edges in Nusa, and deer-spotting on the secluded sands of Menjangan... it's one life-changing adventure to the next on our Bali group tours.

    Traditional Balinese boat floating in blue ocean under baby blue skies, Lovina

    Lovina

    If you’ve ever wanted to spot dolphins in the wild, Lovina is your chance to do so. Witnessing these majestic animals skipping through the ocean waves is something special. Just as memorable are all the quieter moments, like catching the sunset over a black sand beach, or dipping your toes into the sunkissed waves rolling gently at your feet.

    Traditional Balinese temple with thatched grey roofs sitting atop of rugged cliffside on a clear blue day, Tanah Lot Temple

    Tanah Lot Temple

    Bali is bursting with temples that'll take your breath away... but there's just something about Tanah Lot. Translating to "Land in the Sea", this mesmerising islet can only be reached when the tide is low. So legend goes, Tanah Lot was first built by a priest who was awe-struck by its coastal beauty. And after visiting, you'll experience why.

    Climate & Weather

    Bali is a tropical island with warm temperatures and high humidity all year round. While Bali's dry season lasts from April to September, its lush wet season falls from October to March. As rain showers tend to be short and intense spells, visiting during this season can be an incredible option for budget travellers. May to August is generally the most popular time of year to visit Bali.

    Average annual temperatures are generally consistent, ranging somewhere between 26℃ to 30℃. January is typically the coolest month, whereas May tends to experience the warmest and driest weather.

    Best Time to Visit

    The best time to visit on one of our Bali tours comes down to preference. If you'd like to experience the best of Bali's beaches and island-hopping, May to August is the perfect time of year for this. For travellers looking to save on flights, the wet season (October to April) is a good option.

    If you're looking to experience more of Balinese culture, attending the Bali Art festival (held from mid-June to mid-July) is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local side to island life.

    Customs & Culture

    Bali is unique to the rest of Indonesia in that the island's culture is deeply rooted in Hinduism. While Bali today is a melting pot of international and local influences, it is important to be mindful of traditions. Public displays of affection are not customary, and it is important to dress modestly while visiting any temples or places of worship. Personal space is valued.

    As a popular destination, it is important to be respectful toward the local community by leaving each place how you found it. Reducing single-use plastic and bringing a reusable water bottle is encouraged.

    Red and blue british passports

    Passports & Visas

    British passport holders can get a visit on arrival in Indonesia for tourism purposes, lasting 30 days. This typically costs £25 and is single-entry. All foreign travellers arriving in Bali will also need to pay for a small tourist levy, costing around £8. This can be paid for online or on arrival. Your passport must have at least two blank pages, plus an expiry date of at least six months after the date you arrive.

    We recommend staying up to date with FCDO advice before you go travelling, as entry requirements and visa rules can be subject to change.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, Bali is an incredible destination to visit on a gap year. Between the breathtaking beaches, gorgeous temples, and tropical rainforests, our Bali trips are a feast for the senses.
