Dry season (April–October) — clearer skies, lower rainfall and fewer mosquitoes; visit early morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and best wildlife activity.

Tropical maritime climate: warm and humid year-round. Typical temperatures 25–32°C. Wet season is roughly November–March with heavy showers and higher mosquito activity.

Several mangrove areas are located near South Bali (Benoa/Tuban/Denpasar) and are typically 20–40 minutes from Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International Airport depending on traffic and exact site. Best accessed by taxi, private car or scooter. Public transport options are limited. Boardwalks make the forest relatively easy to explore, but wheelchair access varies—confirm at the specific park.

Plan for 1–3 hours on-site: 1 hour for a quick walk and photos, half-day if including a boat/kayak tour and a mangrove nursery visit. Combine with nearby Benoa/Tuban attractions for a fuller day.

Light breathable clothing, sunhat and sunscreen, insect repellent, closed-toe or water-resistant shoes, a light rain jacket in the wet season, binoculars for birdwatching and a waterproof bag for electronics.

Nearby coastal villages and Benoa harbor offer fresh seafood restaurants and local warungs. Souvenirs include Balinese handicrafts, woven goods and occasionally locally propagated mangrove seedlings sold during community events or fundraisers.
