Secure valuables from monkeys
Keep phones, sunglasses and loose bags zipped; macaques are quick and curious and can grab unsecured items.
Footwear for wet trails
Choose closed, grippy shoes—stone stairs to waterfalls get slippery after rain and sandals offer poor traction.
Hydrate and pace the day
Carry a refillable bottle; take breaks between cultural stops since heat and humidity can add strain over an 8‑hour day.
Respect temple rules
Wear modest clothing or a sarong for temple visits and follow guide instructions when entering sacred sites.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide traction on stairs, muddy trails and rocky approaches to waterfalls.
Light rain jacket
Quick tropical showers are common during Bali's wet months and a lightweight jacket keeps you comfortable.
