The easiest way to reach Bali is by flying into Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) near Denpasar, with affordable flights from major Asian and Australian cities. There are no direct trains to Bali, but you can take a train to Banyuwangi on Java, then a short ferry to the Gilimanuk port in northwest Bali, followed by a bus ride.
Ferries and fast boats also connect Bali with Lombok, Gili Islands, and Java; these are budget-friendly and ideal for onward travel. Roads around Bali are well-connected by buses and shared shuttles, perfect for digital nomads exploring coworking hubs. Late October is the start of the rainy season, so occasional heavy rains may affect boat and road travel.
Bali enjoys a tropical climate year-round, with warm temperatures typically ranging from 26°C to 32°C (79°F to 89°F). The island experiences two main seasons: the dry season from April to September and the wet, more humid season from October to March, when rain showers are frequent but often short-lived.
From October 25 to October 31, Bali transitions into its wet season. You can expect mostly warm, humid weather with a higher chance of rain, especially in the afternoons. Extreme weather events are rare during this time, but occasional heavy downpours and brief thunderstorms may occur—so pack a light rain jacket just in case.
Bali’s cuisine features flavorful dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), mie goreng (fried noodles), babi guling (suckling pig), and sate lilit (minced seafood satay). Don’t miss out on fresh tropical fruits and Bali’s signature coffees. Popular drinks include arak (rice spirit) and local Bintang beer.
For digital nomads, try cafes in Canggu like Crate Cafe or Betelnut for healthy bowls and fast Wi-Fi. Ubud’s Clear Café and Monkey Forest Café offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Beach bars such as La Plancha in Seminyak are great for sunsets and cocktails on a budget.
Tipping isn't compulsory, as many places include a service charge; however, rounding up or leaving small change is appreciated. Bali is vegetarian-friendly but always check for shrimp paste (terasi) in dishes. Also, drink only bottled or filtered water, and check for seasonal specialties during festivals.
