When is the best time to visit Bali?

The best time to discover the magnificent island of Bali is during the months of May, June and September; a period that skirts the high season of July and August.

Do I need a visa to visit Bali?

Canadians need a visa to enter Indonesia and Bali, but this can also be obtained on arrival at certain ports of entry such as Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS).

How long does it take to visit Bali?

You can visit the main points of interest on Bali in just one week, as the island is not that big. On the other hand, I'd suggest at least 10 days (and even 2 weeks) to have enough time to enjoy the heavenly beaches, immerse yourself in Balinese culture, contemplate the temples at sunset, relax or get an inexpensive massage, and visit the nearby islands of Gili and Nusa.

Are credit cards accepted in Bali?

For hotels, there is no issues when you book online. So make sure you choose the right card to avoid currency conversion fees and get the best points multiplier! Many restaurants and some businesses accept credit cards, but there is sometimes a 2-3% fee for its use. Bali is still a place where cash is king. So, I suggest you always have some cash on hand in case you want a spontaneous $8 massage or a $1 coconut while walking on the beach!
