Bali Tourism Board

The best time to visit Indonesia is in the dry season between April and October. But it is possible to visit the country the whole year. In the wet season there will be more rain specially in the afternoon. A exception to this rule is the Maluku archipelago where the wet season is between April and October and in this part of the country it can rain all day long. An other thing to decide when to go is the presence of other tourists. Australians will mostly visit Indonesia in January and February while European tourists plan their holidays between June and August. Also around Christmas is a very busy time while many Indonesian migrants turn home and foreign tourist take their Christmas holidays to go to Indonesia.
