Bali

Highlights

Bali is known as the Island of the Gods, in part because of its remarkable natural beauty. It is famous for its spectacular coral reefs, forested volcanic mountains, and striking beaches (white-sand in the south, and black sand in the north and west). Bali is known for great surfing and snorkeling, magnificent ancient temples and palaces, active volcanoes and wild jungles, as well as excellent shopping.

Best Time To Visit

Bali enjoys warm weather year-round but the rainy season lasts from October until March. The best time to go is during the dry season, April through October.
