Map of Bali Island

Bali's picturesque landscape is truly something to behold - magnificent rice terraces amid a sweeping range of volcanic mountains; dense tropical jungles with fast-flowing rivers; long sandy beaches with wild, crashing surf; exotic coral reefs teeming with all kinds of exotic fish...

The climate is tropical with two seasons, a wet and a dry. The dry season, which lasts from April to October, is the most popular time to visit Bali although, there is a particular beauty about the tropics in the wet (It is also a way of avoiding the main tourist seasons of May and December).

Geographically, the Province of Bali is located 80-30'-40" to 80-50'-48" south of the Equator and 1140-25'-53" to 1150-42'-40" east longitude.
