What people love about Bali Tours in May
Our Group was looking for tour in Bali but everybody was out of our budget we mainly searched on Tourradar and tripadvisor after looking into many we finally enquired with putu bali driver and after talking to him directly we got a good price which was in our budget this tour includes so much in just 4 days so it was a complete package for us. Jet ski was very very refreshing and adventurous as the name says i loved whole tour and services provided by the company. there was some things which can be improved like food it was not good but not excellent as everything else was. We were never late at any location and the driver never rushed as well go on book with them such good companies need to come up.
Bali Adventure Tours
Since I'm not one to come halfway across the world to get drunk on the beach, the "4 Days Bali Authentic Experience" was the perfect tour for me. Mr. Pepenk confidently navigated the insane and incomprehensible streets and traffic of Bali to get us safely to some of the most extraordinary sights/sites I have ever seen. Mr. Yustus was patient with my questions and full of interesting stories and explanations. The Bali Trip Mate has hired tremendously capable, congenial people, and planned an exciting and varied experience for tourists. It was everything I had hoped for, but more than I had imagined. Yustus and Mr. Pepenk are fantastic guides and drivers. Thank you!
4 Days Bali Authentic Experience
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
Just finished the Bali/ Lombok tour, which I thoroughly enjoyed with the amazing group leader Stacia. Stacia’s local knowledge, her passion and friendliness are unmatched. I joined the tour half way through and she made me feel welcome and like I’d been there all along. Accomodation was great, I can’t comment on Ubud as I didn’t stay at the hostel, but the hotel in Gili T was approx a 1 min walk from the port. This is particularly great on an island that doesn’t have taxis (only horse and carts). The hotel in Lombok was stunning. Transport on the tour has been pretty good apart from the shared bus from Ubud to Padang Bai port, it was a little cramped. The boat to Gili t was a fast boat that took approx 1 hour 45 mins, this is so much better than what I’ve heard about with the slow boat. The boat wasn’t full and had aircon, but it did have a strong fumes from the engine. The speed boat we took from Gili to Lombok was a private boat with 200 horsepower, so was speedy and fun! We got picked up in Lombok in a private bus that we used several times during our time in Lombok. In Lombok on the waterfall hike day, I asked Stacia if I could take a bike instead of the hike, and she organised this for me, no problem! Riding on the Lombok roads this way was a fun experience. Overall I’d recommend this tour to anyone, even to the non partying older people like me as there’s always an option to party, but also plenty of free time for catching up on important sleep! Thank you Stacia for making this tour, it would not be the same without you.
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."
