What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Bali
- Bali Highlight Tours
The tour guide is so amazing, Robert, he is very thoughtful and show us the beauty of Bali. We love it!
- Amazing Bali 10 Days - Ubud/ Yogyakarta/ Seminyak
It was a very good tour. Maybe 4 1/2 stars. Except the communication skills of the guide in Bali need improvement. Also, when we were in Besakih temple, it rained really hard but the guide decided we should go back to our car anyway. The risk for slipping or falling was great but no harm done. Our Yogyakarta trip was excellent.
"Wonderfulholidays" is well-named. From the booking date to the final day of the tour, the communication with the company staff team was excellent. We requested a change or two before the tour began and that was quickly accommodated. As well, a team member (I think Sam), alerted us to a great hotel deal which we were pleased to take advantage of... as for around $100 CAD total, our last 6 nights hotel stay were upgraded to ocean view... a steal. Barbara, with some support from Penny, was our main contact on the day-to-day communication and updates on drivers/guides, pickup times, etc., as well as following up on the day's events. An impressive accomplishment! An emergency contact number was also always live and that was indicative of the care and attention built into the tour planning. We had a "wonderful" stressfree experience with an obviously talented and competent team.

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."

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."
