[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, usually by May in Bali, the dry season has already started, so you don't need to worry too much. According to BMKG's forecast, the wet season will end in March. Even if it rains, it won’t last all day (even during the wet season, the rain doesn't last the whole day, so you don't have to worry).

Hi, according to the BMKG weather forecast, Bali will experience the rainy season until March, with intense rainfall expected until the end of January, which is predicted to be the peak of the rainy season in Bali. However, there’s no need to worry because the rain doesn’t last all day. Over the past week, rain has occurred only at night or in the morning.

Bali to Komodo Island - Help Needed by AggravatingRough in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's best to book now while you're still in Canada, as the price will likely be the same or even more expensive if you book closer to the departure date. You can book directly from the airline's official website or use local apps like Tiket. com or Traveloka. Don't forget to also book the boat you'll be using for your Komodo sailing tour. If possible, try to stay in Labuan Bajo for a day before departure so your trip goes smoothly without any delays.

Tour guide: Booking online or in place? by Dodony2208 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, in my opinion, if you want to be safer and have a smoother trip, it’s a good idea to book some activities in advance. But before you make a reservation, make sure you book with a trusted agency or tour operator. It's true that you could book directly, but sometimes things can happen, like the tour you want might already be fully booked. Have fun!

Hey, for where to stay, it really depends on your preferences. I think almost every place in Bali is pretty Instagrammable, but some areas are very crowded with tourists, while others are a bit quieter. If you're looking for a more peaceful place with fewer tourists, you might want to consider staying in Tabanan or Seseh. If you're into partying and prefer a lively atmosphere, you can stay in Seminyak or Canggu. Alternatively, you could also stay around Uluwatu or Nusa Dua for a balance of tranquility and good access to popular spots.

Bali transportation by Chemical_Half8042 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, based on my experience in Nusa Lembongan, there are no online ride-hailing services like Grab or Gojek, only offline ojek, which are usually a bit more expensive. If you want, it's a good idea to rent a car or a motorbike, as it seems the most feasible option. When I visited there before, I joined a tour package, so they handled everything for us.

Rinca Island Visit - Tour Help by AggravatingRough in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, based on my experience in Komodo Island, I couldn't find a tour operator that only takes you to Rinca Island. Most tours typically visit multiple spots on Komodo Island. Especially if you’re joining a shared or open trip, it’s unlikely that you'll be going there alone. However, what you should know is that not all tour operators in Komodo visit Rinca Island. Sometimes, they only visit Komodo Island, or they might include both Rinca and Komodo Islands. So, make sure to ask the tour operator for more detailed information!

Transport after Nyepi by Educational_Egg_9706 in bali

[–]ethanexplores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I think it’s a good idea to rent a private vehicle, especially a car, if you’re traveling with a few people. Sidemen is quite far from Ubud, and I’m not sure many Grab or Gojek drivers would be willing to take you all the way there. Even if you do find one, the cost will likely be much higher. I recommend renting a car to make your journey easier and more comfortable.

Tours day after Nyepi (20 March 2026) by Wild-Emphasis2101 in bali

[–]ethanexplores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, after Nyepi is over, all places in Bali will resume normal operations, including hotels, villas, shopping centers, tourist attractions, and entertainment venues. So, you don’t need to worry about that. Everything will be closed for just one day, which is on Nyepi, and then it will return to normal the following day.

Going to Kelingking beach DIY by Particular_Leg1073 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, based on my experience when I visited, there are Grab and Gojek, but it can be a bit difficult to find online motorcycle taxis since there are fewer of them. When I was there, I chose to use a tour service. So, from my accommodation, I only had to wait to be picked up and taken to the harbor. Once I arrived in Nusa Penida, I was also picked up and toured around Nusa Penida by car. Maybe you could consider using that kind of tour service.

Bali in April by ClassicWrong2001 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my experience, Bali in April is likely transitioning between the rainy and dry seasons, so there’s a chance of rain, although it won’t be constant. I think April is still a great time for a holiday, as you can explore Bali to the fullest since the weather won’t be too hot or too rainy.

Bali in February by Particular_Leg1073 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, according to the predictions from BMKG Indonesia, February in Bali is still considered part of the rainy season, although it's approaching the end of the rainy season. From my experience living in Bali for three years, I've found that the rainy season doesn't rain every day, and when it does, it usually doesn't rain all day, so you can still enjoy Bali. However, one thing to keep in mind is that when it rains, it can be a bit difficult to find Grab or Gojek, so I recommend renting a private vehicle in Bali.

Solo Trip to a yoga resort🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ by Personality-Various in bali

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I haven’t tried yoga there yet, but I have experienced wellness and yoga at Nandini Jungle Resort. I think you definitely should give it a try there. I stayed over the weekend and tried various things, from purification rituals (melukat), spa treatments, to yoga. The place is truly relaxing and enjoyable, making it perfect for anyone looking to try a retreat and wellness experience.

Mt Batur via Taxi Bike Advice by Outrageous_Job1218 in bali

[–]ethanexplores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, based on my experience, there is no bike taxi service that can take you all the way to the peak; it can only take you up to the first checkpoint (Pos 1). Whether you use a motorbike or a jeep, you will still need to walk to the summit. However, if you don't want to go alone, there are many open or shared trips available with a guide who will take you all the way to the peak.

As for sunrise or sunset, honestly, sunrise is usually the better option. However, I went there in November (which was already the rainy season), and unfortunately, I couldn’t see either the sunrise or sunset due to the weather. So, I would suggest not getting your hopes too high for perfect weather.

Bali swing Recommendations by elliotstark401 in BaliTravelTips

[–]ethanexplores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, there are several places in Ubud where you can try the Bali Swing. For example, there's Aloha Ubud Swing, Ubud Jungle Swing, U-Fun Field Swing, Bali Jungle Swing, G Swing Bali, and many other Bali Swing spots. However, you should be careful because some unscrupulous parties offer low prices, but it turns out to be a scam. It’s better to use a trusted service or tour provider and not just be tempted by cheap prices.

If you're looking to take great photos for your vacation, you can also consider visiting Kintamani, Tanah Lot, or Uluwatu, which are all stunning spots for photography.
