Best Fares to Bali

Plan your holiday to Bali

Bali, Indonesia's famed island paradise, beckons with its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and lush landscapes. Whether you seek relaxation on pristine shores, cultural immersion in ancient temples, or thrilling adventures in the jungle-clad interior, Bali offers a memorable holiday for all.

For Australian citizens planning a visit to Bali, entry requirements include a valid passport with at least six months validity beyond the date of arrival and a visa obtained through online application prior to travel. Visitors should ensure they meet these requirements to facilitate a smooth entry into Bali and enjoy their holiday without hassle.

Ngurah Rai International Airport, located near Denpasar, serves as the primary gateway to Bali, offering convenient access to popular destinations like Kuta, Seminyak, and Ubud. Transportation options from the airport include taxis, private transfers, and shuttle services readily available outside the terminals.

Weather and Climate in Bali

Bali enjoys a tropical climate year-round, characterised by two main seasons: the dry season (April to September) and the wet season (October to March). The dry season is ideal for beach activities, diving, and exploring cultural sites under clear skies and warm temperatures averaging around 27-30°C (80-86°F). The wet season brings occasional rain showers, lush green landscapes, and quieter tourist crowds, making it a great time for surfing and experiencing Bali's natural beauty at its most vibrant.

Best Time to Visit Bali

Choosing the perfect season for your Bali adventure is important. When planning your trip to Bali, consider the island's weather patterns to make the most of your visit. The peak tourist season falls during the dry season, from April to September when the weather is sunny and ideal for beach activities, diving, and exploring cultural sites. This period sees higher tourist numbers, so booking accommodation and activities in advance is recommended to secure your preferred options. If you’re looking for the most budget-friendly time to visit, consider travelling during the wet season, between October and March. While you might experience occasional rain, you’ll benefit from the lower prices on flights and accommodation, as well as fewer crowds. New Year's Eve in Bali is a peak season, drawing visitors who seek vibrant celebrations and festivities. Flights and accommodation tend to book quickly for this period and prices may be higher, so planning ahead is crucial.

Whether you prefer sun-soaked adventures during the dry season, lush green landscapes in the wet season, or the lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve, Bali promises a memorable holiday experience in any season.

Nestled among lush rice paddies and serene jungle landscapes, Ubud offers a variety of retreats where you can rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. Ubud's peaceful ambience and natural beauty create the perfect setting for those seeking relaxation and spiritual growth.

Flavours of Bali: Explore Bali’s food scene with aromatic dishes like Nasi Goreng (fried rice) and Satay skewers at bustling markets or traditional warungs (local eateries). Sip on freshly brewed Kopi Bali (Balinese coffee) amidst rice paddies.

Rich Heritage: Immerse yourself in Bali's rich traditions. Witness captivating Balinese dance performances at Ubud's Royal Palace or catch a Barong dance depicting mythological tales. Visit ancient temples like Tanah Lot, perched dramatically on sea rocks.

Underwater Wonders: Dive into Bali's vibrant marine world. Snorkel in Amed's coral gardens teeming with exotic fish or dive in Tulamben's USS Liberty shipwreck. Encounter manta rays off Nusa Penida or embark on a boat trip to spot dolphins at Lovina Beach. Enhance your underwater exploration by taking a PADI diving course, available for all levels from beginner to advanced. The course provides essential skills and diving techniques all while gaining access to Bali’s most breathtaking backdrops.

Bustling Markets: Bali has plenty of markets to choose from, offering unique handmade crafts, textiles and souvenirs. Including Ubud Markets, Seminyak Markets and the Kuta Markets, to name a few. Be sure to embrace the art of bargaining to get the best deals. Start by offering about half of the initial asking price and negotiate from there. Be polite and friendly, and don't be afraid to walk away if the price isn’t right – often, vendors will call you back with a better offer. Remember, haggling is expected and part of the shopping experience, so enjoy the experience and have fun with it!

Health and Safety: To avoid the infamous “Bali Belly” follow these tips: Make sure your food is thoroughly cooked and hot when served. Avoid raw or undercooked meats and seafood. Opt for bottled water or boiled water and order drinks without ice if you’re unsure if tap water was used. Use bottled water when brushing your teeth and sanitise your hands before eating. Check with your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations before travelling and ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers health and accidents.

Local customs: When in Bali, dress modestly and make sure to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples and ceremonies. Always remove shoes before entering homes or temples. You’ll see small baskets filled with flowers, food, and incense on the ground; these are daily offerings to the gods, so avoid stepping on them. When giving or receiving things, try to use your right hand or both hands as the left hand is seen as impolite. Also, avoid pointing with one finger; use your whole hand instead.
