The rains are just starting about this time but the weather is still pretty good. No guarantees but I doubt it will be a problem. Hi Dave, Have used your guides for three of my earlier trips and want to compliment you on your very practical and useful recommendations.

My wife and I plan to spend a month in Bali. We are not looking for secluded areas but would like a decent amount of tourist company. After reading your guide, we plan is to spend 10 days each in Sanur and Seminyak. Could you please guide us on a choice of places chosen to stay, b selection of a place that will enable snorkeling from the beach and at the same time meet our other requirements of spending leisure time, and c recommendations for a hotel stay in the places that we could choose.

Thanks and warm regards. With a month you certainly have time to explore so much of Bali, but perhaps consider staying in five places to truly relish the beaches, landscapes, culture and nearby islands. Certainly ideal for snorkeling just offshore, but remote. There are almost no swimming beaches and possibly only places to eat within walking distance of your hotel. Snorkeling and swimming is great, while snorkeling is even better on short boat trips from nearby Candidasa.

Snorkeling is marvelous at Mangrove Beach and Mushroom Bay, and there is a likable ambiance and village lifestyle across the island. Gili Trawangan is too busy and noisy for some; Gili Meno too quiet for others.

But snorkeling is outstanding from just offshore on any of the three islets. Several affordable places facing the bay include Kerti Beach Bungalows. Loving all your travel insights! Would love to check out a couple of the top sights, but without it being too hectic or overwhelming. We love great food, beaches, and sunsets, but not the overly-touristy feel. Thank you so much! The Kuta area can be overwhelming at times, with noise, crowds, traffic, and hawkers.

The best place to base yourself is probably Jimbaran, a long curved bay of white sand and calm waters. It is comparatively quiet and surprisingly undeveloped in places, with enough places to eat, drink and shop. It is also a genuine village, with fish and produce markets and a temple. And dinner on the beach at Jimbaran during sunset, with wandering musicians, traditional dances, and fireworks, will be a highlight of your trip.

A day trip to the well-known attractions in and around Ubud, such as the Gunung Kawi rock sculptures and Tirta Empul sacred temple, is also worthwhile. Hello Dave, I will be traveling solo to Bali in early September.

I have found it difficult to make a decision related to all the things there are to see in Bali. Any ideas on that? Facilities may not be as good as hoped for, and local restaurants will serve almost nothing but rice-based meals which might be fine with you but good to know.

As you mention the Panji Anom area, you may be referring to Lovina, a lovely, quiet and laidback tourist region along the north coast, about 9km west of Singaraja. The best base within the Lovina area is Kalibukbuk, small enough to walk around in 20 minutes.

It offers enough low-key hotels, cafes, bars, and shops to satisfy, but with no clubs or malls, and only a fraction of the crowds of southern Bali. The downside is that traveling there by tourist shuttle bus takes about 4 hours, and the beach is no good for swimming — but still wonderful for walks, views, breezes and dolphin-spotting. Jimbaran has a better beach, and a seafood dinner on the beach at sunset may be a highlight of your trip. Sanur has more facilities and a long seaside pathway which is ideal for walking and cycling.

Two other laidback regions worth considering are Padangbai, on the east coast; and Nusa Lembongan, an adorable almost traffic-free island, 30 minutes by boat from Sanur. With 15 days, you should consider staying in three places: perhaps, Lovina, Sanur or Jimbaran, and somewhere else like Nusa Lembongan. Komodo Island is popular, but the boat trip can be uncomfortable and long, perhaps taking a week for a return trip.

If this is your first visit to Bali, take time to really enjoy and explore it — but without rushing. Instead of Komodo, consider visiting Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali; the volcanic areas of Gunung Bratan and Gunung Batur; the remote east coast around Amed; or, for something different, the neighboring island of Lombok, only 30 minutes away on a cheap flight. Hi Dave, Thanks for your very helpful information about Bali.

I love your website. We like surfing, snorkeling and I looked at Komkune Hotel in Keramas for those first 5 days as it looked to have a mix of everything. I also looked at surfers paradise, is this comparable to Keramas? From your descriptions, Nusa Lembongan and Jimbaran look really nice too for these first five days. The beach is no good for surfing or snorkeling, and the sand is grey and gritty. You are better off staying somewhere like Seminyak, which has plenty of facilities and great waves just off-shore, with surfboard rental easily arranged.

Jimbaran is also lovely: an unhurried region with a curved, white-sand beach and some modest surfing in the southern bay. Even better is Nusa Lembongan, a small island with a genuine village vibe and virtually no traffic. Only 30 minutes by boat from Sanur, Lembongan offers great snorkeling with gear available for rent at several places and surf, but waves are about m off-shore and involve a tough paddle or chartered boat to reach.

So, perhaps, with 12 days, you could try three to five days in 1 Jimbaran for a quiet beach region, with some surf and close to the airport; 2 Nusa Lembongan for a traditional village, snorkeling and surfing; and 3 Ubud for culture and inland sights. Hi Dave, I love reading your blog about Bali, a lot of information and your love with Bali is shown here. I am planning a short honeymoon trip in Bali in April.

Because of this short time, I would like to ask you for some advice about my trip. Should I go directly to Ubud and spend there 2 nights to explore the area? We want to rest in Ubud and get to know the crowded Bali later. Should I spend a one-day tour to a nearby island Nusa Lembongan or stay in Kuta for the last 2 days?

We want to enjoy the atmosphere of the beaches there. I want to see Buta volcano, is it a good idea? Our budget is not too high, so we do not want to lose time and money in going around to many places. I have searched a lot and really. Which route should be the best for our short time? We really need your help! Bali is small, but distances are deceiving and travelling around is time-consuming because of traffic, bad roads and volcanic landscapes.

So, it is wise, as you have done, to plan your trip accordingly, but try to avoid fitting in too much in a short space of time. Seminyak, barely 7km to the north, is more tranquil and sophisticated, while other beach resort regions, such as Sanur and Jimbaran, are even quieter, but still within a short taxi trip of the malls and nightclubs of Kuta.

But you probably mean Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple, which is extraordinary. Ubud is the obvious base to explore and experience the amazing landscapes and culture of the island. Nusa Lembongan is an adorable laidback island, with virtually no traffic. It is the complete opposite of Kuta, so you need to decide if you want to experience the charming village vibe of Lembongan or the hectic resort feel of Kuta.

Gunung Batur volcano is an easy daytrip by a chartered car with driver from Ubud, with amazing views from the crater rim and hot springs at Toga Bungkah village alongside the crater lake. If you want to visit a volcano, perhaps Gunung Bratan is better. Also an easy daytrip from Ubud, it offers the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple you want to visit anyway, as well as the Botanic Gardens and markets at Candikuning village and the lakeside resort area of Bedugul, almost completely ignored by western tourists.

Hi Dave, Just visited Bali for eight nights and have just a few words to say… your information is excellent. Your blog is so accurate. Toya Devasya is indeed goose bumpy…. Thanks a ton for sharing such invaluable and in-depth information. Also Padangbai is a quaint and pretty village as you mentioned. Sejal Padalkar. Hi Dave. I will be in Bali for 9 days in October. We are staying the first 3 nights in Nusa Dua and the next 3 days in Ubud. I am having a really hard time choosing where to spend the last 3 days.

Look for the Bluebird sign above the front windshield or a sign of a bird on the car doors. Remember: As soon as you hail a cab, remind them to put the meter on. Many drivers will try to negotiate a fee without putting the meter on to fleece tourists and first-time visitors. You can politely refuse them. GrabCar is an app-based transport service that operates similarly to Uber, and is quite popular in South-East Asia.

They almost everywhere in Bali for almost half the fare of local taxis. You can download the app and book taxis based on the vehicle and driver details. Private car services are convenient for families and large groups, or if you have a full day of sightseeing planned.
