By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read
Rain doesn't have to ruin a Bali holiday. Mornings are often clear, and there's plenty to do indoors when the afternoon storm arrives. Here are rainy-day ideas and how to ride safely in the wet season.
Rainy-day ideas
| Idea | Where | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Museums & art | Denpasar, Ubud, Sanur | Indoors and cultural — see Bali museums by scooter |
| Spa & massage | Everywhere | Perfect for a stormy afternoon |
| Cooking class | Ubud & Canggu | Learn Balinese dishes under a roof |
| Café hopping | Canggu, Ubud | See Bali's best café areas |
| Art market & shopping | Ubud, Sukawati, Seminyak | Covered stalls and shops |
Riding safely in the rain
- Ride in the morning and be back before the afternoon storm.
- Slow down and brake gently — painted lines, metal plates and sand are slippery when wet.
- Avoid flooded roads and steep descents during heavy rain; wait it out in a café.
- Read riding in the rainy season.
Keep your phone and passport in a zip bag under the seat. Even in a raincoat, water gets everywhere in a tropical downpour.
Scooter or car on a wet day?
| Scooter | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda BeAT (Gen 4–5) | IDR 80,000 | IDR 425,000 | IDR 1,210,000 |
| Honda Vario 125 | IDR 100,000 | IDR 515,000 | IDR 1,510,000 |

Scooters start from 2 days; add raincoats when you book. For long trips in heavy rain, a car with driver is more comfortable. Book on WhatsApp or via the Bali scooter rental catalogue: the bike is delivered to your hotel or villa and you pay when it arrives.
How booking works
- Pick a scooter in the catalogue (or tell us your height, route and how many riders and we'll suggest one).
- Send your dates, the hotel or villa name with a Google Maps pin, and your WhatsApp number.
- The admin confirms the bike, the total price and the delivery time — no payment yet.
- The scooter arrives with 2 helmets. Check it together, show your passport and licence, then pay in full (bank transfer or e-wallet).
