The Essentials
Four Things to Get Right
Bali is warm and humid year-round, and the sun is strong above the clouds. Pack for comfort first.
Dry vs Wet
Pack for the Season
The season changes a few items in your daypack — the basics stay the same.
-
Apr – Oct Dry Season
Clear skies and little rain. Focus on sun protection and lightweight comfort.
- SPF 50+ and lip balm
- Wide-brimmed hat
- Polarised sunglasses
- Thin layer for the cabin
-
Nov – Mar Wet Season
Short tropical showers, usually in the afternoon. Protect your electronics and expect damp ground at any landing stop.
- Water-resistant daypack
- Quick-drying outer layer
- Dry bag for electronics
- Shoes that handle mud
-
Every flight Year-Round Basics
Bali stays warm and humid in every month, and the sun is strong whatever the forecast.
- Breathable clothing
- Charged camera and spare battery
- Water bottle
- Sarong for temple stops
In the Cabin
Keep Your Gear Secure
Cabin space is limited, and anything dropped mid-flight is hard to recover.
-
Choose your lens on the ground
A versatile zoom covers landscapes and close detail — avoid lens changes once airborne.
-
Tether everything
Neck or wrist straps for cameras, a lanyard or grip for phones. Keep devices firmly in hand.
-
No loose items
Stow spares in a small soft case, and keep gear clear of other guests and the pilot.

Pre-Flight Checklist
The Day Before You Fly
Four quick checks so your only focus on the day is the view.

Charge and format
Charge batteries, phone and power bank; clear your memory cards; attach straps.
-
Eat light, drink well
Have a light, non-greasy meal and stay hydrated, without drinking a lot just before boarding.
-
Pack the daypack
Layer, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water, sarong and any personal medication.
Prone to motion sickness? Ask your doctor about a non-drowsy remedy before the flight.
Packing Questions
Before You Pack
The questions guests ask most, answered briefly.
Ask a Question
Mon–Sat · 08:00–17:00 WITA
Will it feel cold up there?
Only slightly. The air cools a little with altitude and cabin airflow, so a thin layer is enough.
Can I bring a full camera kit?
Yes. Pick one versatile zoom, strap every device and plan to avoid lens changes in flight.
What shoes should I wear?
Comfortable, supportive sandals or sneakers. Avoid heels or bulky footwear in the cabin.
Do I need a sarong?
Only if you visit a temple before or after the flight — shoulders and knees must be covered.
What if it rains?
In the wet season, bring a water-resistant bag for electronics and a quick-drying layer. Your pilot makes the final weather call.
