Questions

When is the best time to visit Bali?

The dry season runs April to October, with May, June and September offering the best balance of weather, crowds and price. July and August have the best weather but peak prices. February is typically the cheapest month, with the trade-off of rainy-season afternoons.

How much does a week in Bali cost?

Excluding international flights, roughly $350–$550 per person for budget travel, $700–$1,400 mid-range, and $2,500+ for luxury. Daily spend runs about $25–$40 budget, $70–$130 mid-range, and $300+ luxury.

Do I have to pay the Bali tourist levy?

Yes. Since 2024 every foreign visitor pays a one-time levy of IDR 150,000 (about $9.30) per person. Pay it online through the official Love Bali portal before you fly, or at a counter on arrival — paying ahead saves a queue.

What do I need to run The Bali Secret?

An iPhone running iOS 14 or later. Your itinerary and budget stay on the device, so they are readable without a signal in Bali.

Is the app useful if I have been to Bali before?

That is largely who it is built for. The itinerary and budget tools help on any trip, and the hidden-gems side is aimed at people who have already done Tanah Lot and the Monkey Forest.
