If you've been to Bali before, then you've probably heard the legend that originally this island was created by the gods for their needs and entertainment, and a little later, generous or spending a lot on its maintenance, they condescended and decided to open it to mere mortals ... There is nothing surprising in the fact that travelers have to pay an impressive "tax" for the opportunity to spend an unforgettable vacation here.
Locals have long been oblivious to the strange disposition and behavior of cheeky tourists. Balinese people, without exception, are greeted with a welcoming smile. If you go for night entertainment and dancing until the morning, then you are in Kuta. If you prefer luxury vacation and first class service, then welcome to Nusa Dua. If your children went with you for new emotions, then give preference to Jimbaran.
When to go to Bali
Since there are only two seasons in Bali - rainy and dry, we recommend planning your vacation on the most comfortable of them, namely from April to September. Although even those who arrive from October to March cannot hide their delight. Please be aware that southern beaches in the rainy season, they cannot boast of their cleanliness, as the current brings many plastic "surprises" to the coast. Of course, the north and west cannot boast of white sand, here it is mostly black, but there are exceptions if you wish. You just need to search.
What to do in Bali
The most popular activities on the island are, of course, surfing, diving and rafting. Surf fans prefer the south and east of the island. Here you can also rent equipment and get training. In addition, if this is your only purpose of travel, then I recommend purchasing the Accommodation + Surfing package. So you can save on your hobby. For diving, connoisseurs go to the east of the island and west to the Barat National Park. The reefs there are simply breathtaking.
Rafting fans will not miss the opportunity and will not deny themselves the pleasure of rafting down the Ayung and Telaga Vaja rivers. For such adventures, of course, it is better to fly during the rainy season. “Yohoho” and “Why did I need all this? I'd rather sit at home ”- you are guaranteed. Also here you can meet people who are keen on kite and windsurfing, especially in the Sanur resort. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of taking part in a bike tour, fishing, kayaking, underwater walking and elephant trekking. Lovers of something like that, you can safely advise the descent into the canyons, climbing volcanoes and organized walks in the caves.
As you can imagine, Bali is a truly unique island where dreams come true.

Gili Meno Island
This inconspicuous island is located near Lombok and Bali. Silence is everywhere on Gili Meno. Therefore, this is not a place for fun lovers. But the calm, measured atmosphere of the island will be appreciated by newlyweds, elderly people and those who are bored with the hectic city life.
When to go to Gili Meno
To fully enjoy your beach holiday on Gili Meno, it is better to travel between May and October. Since November, the rains begin, and sometimes there are already showers.

In general, the rest on Gili Meno will be quiet and serene. It will bring harmony and make you feel like a part of nature untouched by man.

Gili Trawangan Island
Gili Trawangan is the exact opposite of Gili Meno. Trawangan is longest and the busiest. Endless cafes stretch along the waterfront. This island does not give the impression of detachment from everything earthly. It is noisy here and at present there are many buildings under construction, which spoil the whole "picture". But if you move away from the beach a few meters closer to the center of the island, then you can find quite a lot of housing where you can not hear wild screams and other people's laughter.
When to go to Gili Trawangan
At the same time as on Gili Meno. These tropical Indonesian islands are located in the neighborhood. Consequently, the weather conditions on them are not particularly different. The period from May to October is the "golden time" to visit the island.
Things to do on Gili Trawangan
There are relatively few activities on Gili Trawangan, although this is not an island for solitude. Transport is completely absent here, which makes many tourists incredibly happy. They use bicycles and horses to get around. Trawangan - perfect place for snorkeling.

Then snorkeling is much more interesting, especially for beginners. For lovers of gatherings by the sea, there are cafes where you can notably "have a fun". You can relax and dream at sunset, each of which on Gili Trawangan stuns with its inimitable splendor. To capture the sunset that you will never see again in your life, do not forget the camera.

The Mentawai Islands are wild and undeveloped. The locals were isolated from the rest of the world's population until the 19th century. As many as 70 small islands are still not particularly visited by tourists. Life on Mentawai is measured.

Flores Island
The island got its flower name thanks to the Portuguese in the 16th century. There are almost as many flowers in Flores as in other nearby tropical regions. The island is developing only thanks to tourism. Indigenous population is engaged in agriculture and crafts.
When to go to Flores
You should not plan your vacation from November to March inclusive (rainy season). The rest of the time is ideal for vacation.
What to do in Flores
There are several villages where local artisans live. They make quality fabrics. Available on Flores beautiful waterfalls, which are admired by almost all tourists. V National park Kelimutu is a lake that is colored differently due to the mineral salts released from the volcano. The island has not yet banned whale catching. So you can hunt like ancient people.
Nusa Lembongan Island
It is located near Bali, half an hour by boat. Nusa Lembongan is different from its well-known neighbor. The water is emerald, not sky-colored. This piece of land has two large beaches. There are also small ones that are the least visited.
When to go to Nusa Lembongan
The most suitable season is from April to the end of September. Like all Indonesian islands, Nusa Lembongan is dominated by two seasons. "Non-tourist" is characterized by big amount precipitation.
What to do on Nusa Lembongan
The best pastime is surfing, diving and snorkeling. The beaches of the island are in relative reach. Therefore, you can walk from one resting place to another on foot. The beaches have their own characteristics, which are worth taking a look to get a complete impression of this tropical island.
12 minutes walk from Yungut Batu Beach
One of the best quiet places for families with children in Indonesia is the island of Nusa Lembongan. Some tourists combine a vacation on this island with a vacation on another popular Indonesian island, Bali, since the distance between them is small. This is a great island to relax in a comfortable environment away from noise and in a fairly comfortable environment. Even cars are extremely rare on this island, so it is considered environmentally friendly. The beaches on this island are not only clean and beautiful, but some of them are almost deserted. The water is clear, emerald in color, it is almost impossible to find something like this in Bali.
The island is small in size, its area is only eight square kilometers. The island is inhabited by local residents, for whom tourists have recently become the main type of income, to whom they sell all kinds of goods and provide various services.
The most famous beaches on the coast of this island are Jungut Batu and Mushroom Bay. The first beach is located in the northwest of the island and it is here that inexpensive cafes, restaurants and hotels are located. Also, tourists come to this place to admire beautiful sunsets... The second beach is better suited not for swimming, but for surfing. You can walk from one beach to the second in about 30-35 minutes. There is also such a beach as Dream Beach, but the infrastructure on it is practically not developed, there is only one cafe and nothing else (when you are resting with children, such a minimum is unlikely to suit you).
Although the island is small, you can move around it not only on foot, but also on different vehicles... Most often, tourists use the services of local fishing boats, which act as water taxis. Travel on such a boat will cost from three to five dollars per person for one trip. You can rent a bike for 3-4 dollars a day, and a bike for 6-10 dollars.
Speaking specifically about the accommodation that this island offers, then daily accommodation in bungalows and budget hotels will cost no more than $ 30 per room. Accommodation in a bungalow with all the amenities will cost about $ 70-100. But the main advantage of such bungalows is their location. They are located on a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean.
You can get to this island only by water, there is no other way to get here. Tourists choose boats depending on their financial capabilities. A speedboat ride is the most expensive, and a slow public boat is the cheapest. Boats leave from Bali: high-speed boats from the port of Benoa and Sanur, and public boats mainly from the beach in Sanur. Most of boats leave in the morning, and return closer to lunchtime, so there is no point in going to this island for one day, since you can only spend a few hours there. The speedboat will cost about $ 25 per person one way (you can find options for $ 40 both ways). Such a boat covers the distance in 30 minutes and most often the services of high-speed ones are used by vacationers with children in order to get to the island as quickly as possible.
A public boat is not only cheaper, but much cheaper, travel on it will cost only a few dollars, but here you will have to face a number of difficulties. In addition to the fact that the trip on this boat stretches for 1.5-2 hours, in addition to this, such boats are almost always packed to capacity (overloaded) with tourists and local residents... With a three-year-old child, it is better not even to consider such an option, it is easier to overpay, but get there quickly and comfortably.
