Best time to visit Bali from Australia
The dry season from April to October is the best time to visit Bali. May to September has the best weather with temperatures around 26 to 30 degrees and low humidity. July and August are peak season with the most Australian tourists, especially during school holidays. June and September are excellent shoulder months with good weather and slightly lower prices. The wet season from November to March brings afternoon rain showers but the island stays green and lush. January and February are the wettest months. Bali is warm year-round and good to visit at any time if you accept that wet season means afternoon rain.
Airport and Getting Around Bali
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar has 4G coverage at the arrivals hall and throughout the terminals. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects to Telkomsel's network as soon as you land. Bali has no public transit system. You will rely on Grab, Gojek, or a private driver for all transportation.
Both Grab and Gojek require a live data connection to book rides. The airport taxi desk offers fixed-price rides, but using Grab from the arrivals hall is usually cheaper.
The main road from the airport to Seminyak or Kuta takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic, and 4G coverage is consistent along the bypass road. Traffic in Canggu and Seminyak during peak hours can be very heavy. Having maps open on live data helps you navigate alternate routes.
Aussie travellers should have their HelloRoam eSIM activated before landing so they can use maps straight away.
