What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Bali
- Amazing Bali 10 Days - Ubud/ Yogyakarta/ Seminyak
It was my expected trip and I prepared a lot for my trip. I am so lucky to find this company and all the services went smoothly. I visited all the highlight places in Bali, it amazed me. Guide so helpful and very good English speaking.
- Bangkok, Singapore And Bali
We had a great time on this trip....most of the included options are in Bangkok so it did feel a bit overwhelming while getting used to the time change. Hotels were located in great areas...the Singapore hotel is ridiculously small for two adults to share but we were able to upgrade to a larger room on our own. The tour guides in each country were prompt, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. On the downside the staff at Wandering left alot to desired...delays in providing our travel documentation, providing conflicting information; our internal flight from Bangkok to Singapore was stressful as we were charged exorbitant excess weight charges because our luggage weight was not properly handled by the tour operator. Note we prepaid for the bags for a certain weight which wasn't the case. Lots of going back and forth with folks who do this for a living as we tried to ensure we eould and should l ow better. I would recommend the tour but Rose and crew do need pay closer attention to the details.
- Best of Bali Instagram 3 Day Tour (Private & All Inclusive)
ForeverVacation is the best tour provider that we've ever had before. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, our tour was wonderful. Ben was very helpful every step of the way and accommodating when scheduling tours. Our drivers, especially Rudy and Aprio, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were very patient and knowledgeable about where we were going and with taking our pictures and I was apart of a big group. I will definitely use ForeverVacation when I make my way back to Bali.

The main celebration hubs are Kuta Seminyak and Nusa Dua. Ubud's Puri Garden Hotel features traditional Balinese ceremonies while beachfront spots in Jimbaran serve special Christmas meals. For those seeking island parties the Natya Resort on Gili TrawanganourRadar traveler noted "Staying at the Sikara in Lombok provided the perfect blend of festive atmosphere and peaceful retreat during the holiday season."
What's the weather like in Bali during Christmas & New Year?
December brings Bali's wet season with quick afternoon showers that rarely affect tour schedules. Temperatures stay warm between 25-30°C (77-86°F) in popular spots like Kuta Ubud and Nusa Dua. Most morning activities at Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Mount Batur get clear skies. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Despite being rainy season we had perfect weather for our Christmas Day trip to Nusa Penida and New Year's Eve celebration at Tanah Lot."
How far in advance should I book a Christmas & New Year tour in Bali?
Book your holiday tour 6-8 months ahead as this period sees peak demand. Places like The Sakala Resort Bali and Puri Gangga Resort & Spa in Ubud often reach full capacity by mid-year. Booking data shows travelers reserve 291 days ahead on average with luxury spots like The Crystal Luxury Bay Resort Nusa Dua filling even earlier. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "I booked my New Year's tour 8 months ahead and was glad I did - many hotels were already fully booked."
What unique activities are offered during Christmas & New Year tours?
The season brings special events alongside regular activities. Visitors can join festive cooking classes at Samsara Living Museum take New Year's Day sunrise hikes up Mount Batur or go on Christmas Day snorkeling trips to Crystal Bay. Many tours include holiday dinners at venues like The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta serving both Balinese and Western dishes. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "The Christmas Eve dinner at Lynn Hotel followed by a New Year's Day sunrise hike at Mount Batur was unforgettable."
How much should I budget for additional expenses during a Christmas & New Year tour in Bali?
Plan for 50-75 USD daily beyond tour costs. This covers extras like Parasailing Adventure at Tanjung Benoa (30 USD) holiday feasts (40-60 USD) and shopping trips to places like Celuk Village's silver workshops. As mentioned by a TourRadar traveler: "While most activities were included I spent extra on special Christmas Eve dinner at Jimbaran Beach and New Year's Eve celebrations but it was totally worth it."
