When to Visit

The best time to visit Indonesia is between April and October when the weather is perfect for island hopping, snorkelling, and beach relaxation.

Bridging the Equator, Indonesia is hot all year round, with the only change coming between November and March when the country sees widespread rain, particularly in the south.

Although the rain may scupper your plans to relax by the beach, it does bring some pleasant changes. Indonesia’s rich collection of temples is often quieter this time of year, making exploration much more rewarding. The scenery is beautiful, and if you venture into the highlands, the temperatures are cooler, which can be a welcome change from the humid conditions on lower ground.

Most activities can still be enjoyed during this time, with water parks and surfing being quite popular during this period.
