Bali travel guide

The currency in Bali is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Prices on TripRadr for tours and activities are shown in Canadian dollars (CAD). Check the current exchange rate before you travel.

Central Indonesia Time all year, eight hours ahead of UTC, with no daylight saving. Toronto is on Eastern Time, so check the difference for your travel dates. Toronto changes its clocks in spring and autumn, so the gap can shift during the year.

There are 2 seasons to plan around in Bali. Best weather: April to October. Fewer crowds: November to March. Check the weather and any local events for your dates.

The main airport is Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). Routes and flight times depend on the season and the airline. Check with the airline or travel site you book with.

The Government of Canada publishes travel advice and advisories for Indonesia. Check it before you book and again before you leave. The advice can change, so TripRadr links to it instead of repeating it.
