April to September is the best time to visit Bali due to less rainfall. The tropical island, though warm and humid can be broadly divided into two seasons - the dry season (April - October) and the wet season (November - March). For tourists who would like to enjoy the crowds, nightlife and vibe of Bali, July, August and December are the peak times to visit this province.

The months from May - September is the best time for water-based activities like scuba diving and snorkelling due to the best weather conditions. January - April is the low-season in Bali, with significant slashes on prices and cheaper accommodation. Additionally, these months see torrential rain and things get quiet around the province.
