What people love about Bali Tours in May
- 4 Days Bali Authentic Experience
Guide Eustis was excellent and very helpful. Drivers also excellent. Several sites had too many difficult steps to get to attraction. Tour description needs to make clients aware of difficulty of steps involved. Hotels were nice as well as massage.
- Classic Bali & Lombok
Good combination of program and freetime. Our CEO, Hans, was just excellent. Actually the highlight of the trip was the visit at his home, walk on the close rice-field and visit the local school. The Agung caused some extra worries but at the end everything went Ok.
- Bali Experience 12 Day
3 days in ubud ! Very amazing ! Thanks Terri, you're a fantastic guide ! Everything was perfect !!
What our customers ask about Bali Tours in May 2026
What is the best region to stay in Bali Islands during May?
May offers excellent conditions to divide time between several key areas in Bali. Ubud delivers cultural experiences and views of the rice terraces while Seminyak or Canggu provides beaches and vibrant nightlife. The Gili Islands round out the experience with snorkeling spots and quiet beaches. Places like Alaya Resort in Ubud and Sadev Resort in Gili Trawangan offer comfortable bases for exploring. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "Staying in both Ubud and Gili Islands gave us the perfect mix of culture and beach time in May."
What's the best way to explore Nusa Penida in May?
The calm May seas make Nusa Penida easily accessible via fast boats from Sanur. Weather conditions allow clear views at main attractions like Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The crystal clear waters at Crystal Bay were perfect for snorkeling in May." Hotels like Tir Na Nog provide convenient locations for daily exploration of the island's highlights.
What are the best cultural activities to do in Bali Islands during May?
The quieter May period creates ideal conditions for visiting cultural sites. Visitors can take part in purification rituals at Tirta Empul water temple explore the clifftop Uluwatu Temple and join cooking classes in Ubud. The Munduk Moding Plantation stands out for its cultural programs with one reviewer noting "the traditional ceremonies and temple visits were so much more intimate without the crowds."
What wildlife encounters can I experience in Bali Islands during May?
May's conditions create good opportunities for wildlife viewing especially marine life. Visitors often see dolphins during Lovina's morning boat trips encounter manta rays at Manta Bay in Nusa Penida and watch macaques at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We saw countless dolphins during our morning boat trip from Alamanda Resort in Lovina - May's calm waters made it perfect for spotting them."
What are the best adventure activities to do in Bali during May?
The dry May weather creates good conditions for outdoor activities. Popular options include rafting the Ayung River taking surf lessons in Canggu and exploring Menjangan Island's underwater world. The Bali Swing in Ubud adds an exciting photo opportunity. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The white water rafting was a mix of wild excitement and breathtaking views perfectly safe with professional guides." Frii Hotel Canggu serves as a convenient base for these activities.
Are accommodations cheaper in Bali Islands during May?
May falls in shoulder season before peak summer crowds leading to moderate accommodation rates. High-end options like Kamandalu Ubud and The Trans Resort Bali typically cost between 150-300 USD nightly while boutique hotels run 70-120 USD. A TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "We got great value staying at Sadev Resort in Gili Trawangan in May before high season rates kicked in."
