It was my expected trip and I prepared a lot for my trip. I am so lucky to find this company and all the services went smoothly. I visited all the highlight places in Bali, it amazed me. Guide so helpful and very good English speaking.

The BEST Tour Guides The number of excursions planned were a perfect amount and spaced out perfectly too. The excursions were of a good variety and very popular sites. Our tour guides were THE BEST! They were extremely knowledgeable, spoke good English, and went above and beyond by offering to take our pictures with our phone and diverting the tour to see something we asked about that wasn't part of the tour.
What our customers ask about Christmas & New Year Tours & Trips in Bali
What special Christmas & New Year celebrations can I expect on a tour in Bali?
The holiday season in Bali blends local traditions with modern festivities. Most luxury resorts like the ZIA Bali Kuta organize Christmas Eve dinners. Cultural events continue through the season with Kecak fire dance shows at Uluwatu Temple. New Year's Eve brings firework displays along Kuta Beach that light up the coastline. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "The sunset dinner cruise with live entertainment and fireworks was a magical way to ring in the New Year with amazing views of the Benoa coast."
Which areas in Bali are best for Christmas & New Year celebrations?
The main celebration hubs are Kuta Seminyak and Nusa Dua. Ubud's Puri Garden Hotel features traditional Balinese ceremonies while beachfront spots in Jimbaran serve special Christmas meals. For those seeking island parties the Natya Resort on Gili TrawanganourRadar traveler noted "Staying at the Sikara in Lombok provided the perfect blend of festive atmosphere and peaceful retreat during the holiday season."
What's the weather like in Bali during Christmas & New Year?
December brings Bali's wet season with quick afternoon showers that rarely affect tour schedules. Temperatures stay warm between 25-30°C (77-86°F) in popular spots like Kuta Ubud and Nusa Dua. Most morning activities at Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Mount Batur get clear skies. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Despite being rainy season we had perfect weather for our Christmas Day trip to Nusa Penida and New Year's Eve celebration at Tanah Lot."
How far in advance should I book a Christmas & New Year tour in Bali?
Book your holiday tour 6-8 months ahead as this period sees peak demand. Places like The Sakala Resort Bali and Puri Gangga Resort & Spa in Ubud often reach full capacity by mid-year. Booking data shows travelers reserve 291 days ahead on average with luxury spots like The Crystal Luxury Bay Resort Nusa Dua filling even earlier. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "I booked my New Year's tour 8 months ahead and was glad I did - many hotels were already fully booked."
What unique activities are offered during Christmas & New Year tours?
The season brings special events alongside regular activities. Visitors can join festive cooking classes at Samsara Living Museum take New Year's Day sunrise hikes up Mount Batur or go on Christmas Day snorkeling trips to Crystal Bay. Many tours include holiday dinners at venues like The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta serving both Balinese and Western dishes. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "The Christmas Eve dinner at Lynn Hotel followed by a New Year's Day sunrise hike at Mount Batur was unforgettable."
How much should I budget for additional expenses during a Christmas & New Year tour in Bali?
Plan for 50-75 USD daily beyond tour costs. This covers extras like Parasailing Adventure at Tanjung Benoa (30 USD) holiday feasts (40-60 USD) and shopping trips to places like Celuk Village's silver workshops. As mentioned by a TourRadar traveler: "While most activities were included I spent extra on special Christmas Eve dinner at Jimbaran Beach and New Year's Eve celebrations but it was totally worth it."
