April to October (dry season) — clearer seas and more reliable conditions for dolphin watching, snorkeling and outdoor activities. Wet season (November–March) brings heavier rain and choppier seas which can reduce boat trips.

Tropical climate: warm year‑round. Dry season is sunnier with lower humidity; wet season has heavy short storms and higher humidity. Temperatures typically range from about 24–31°C (75–88°F).

Nearest major airport: Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Denpasar — approximately 2.5–3 hours drive depending on traffic (around 120–140 km). Alternative regional access via ferry/land from other parts of Bali. The nearest town is Singaraja (~20–30 minutes by car). Public transport is limited: options include hired car with driver, private transfers, shuttle services from southern Bali, local bemos (minibuses) and motorbike rentals. Roads are generally well‑maintained but can be winding through hilly areas.

2–3 days to enjoy dolphin tours, a snorkeling/diving trip and at least one day trip to hot springs or waterfalls; extend stay if adding trekking or multiple dive days.

Light, breathable clothing; swimwear; reef‑safe sunscreen; hat and sunglasses; lightweight rain jacket in wet season; comfortable walking shoes for excursions; snorkel gear (optional) and a waterproof bag/phone case. Bring sea‑sickness tablets if prone to motion sickness for early‑morning boat trips.

Local seafood dishes, grilled fish and Balinese specialties such as sate lilit and lawar. Try Balinese coffee and tropical fruits from markets. Good souvenirs include locally made sarongs, shell jewelry, handwoven crafts and small woodcarvings from nearby artisan towns.
