Bali in November and December: 5 Rainy Season Travel Tips.
Planning a trip to Bali in November or December? Leave a little room for rain—and for changing your plans.
These months generally fall within Bali’s wet season, according to Indonesia’s official tourism website. That doesn’t mean every day is a washout, but it does mean a packed outdoor itinerary needs some flexibility.
You can still enjoy rice terrace views, explore local art, and linger over a good Balinese lunch. Here are five tips to help you travel more comfortably and make safer decisions during Bali’s rainy season.
1. Check the local forecast, then plan your day
Before heading out, check the forecast for the area you’re visiting—not just the location of your hotel. A day in Ubud may need a different plan from a coastal outing.
Use BMKG’s Bali weather forecast, and check again before weather-sensitive activities. Don’t assume mornings will always be dry or that rain will finish quickly.
Choose one or two main stops and leave space between them. If conditions look suitable, enjoy your outdoor visit. If heavy rain or a weather warning arrives, move to a sheltered activity or postpone. A useful habit: discuss a backup plan with your driver before leaving the hotel. It’s much easier to adjust the day when everyone knows the options.
2. Mix outdoor sights with places to slow down
A rainy-season itinerary works better when it doesn’t depend entirely on clear skies. For an Ubud day out, you might pair an outdoor stop with time at a museum, an indoor gallery, or a relaxed lunch. Check opening hours and access before you go, and remember that some attractions still involve walking outdoors between buildings.
Our One Day Ubud Private Tour can be a starting point for planning. Tell us which places matter most to you and ask which stops can be adjusted if the weather changes. You’ll find it among our Bali private day tours.
