Bali in July – Why It’s the Best Month for Outdoor Adventure

July in Bali is nothing short of magical. The skies are clear, the breeze is refreshing, and the island is buzzing with the vibrant energy of travelers from all around the world. While some tourists head straight for the beach or retreat to resorts, savvy adventurers know one thing: July is the ultimate month to explore Bali's wild side.
If you’ve been thinking about trying white-water rafting, ATV riding, or other outdoor adventures, this article will show you why July is the perfect time to do it—and why booking with Infinity Bali Adventure will make your experience even more unforgettable.
1. Dry Season Means Perfect Conditions for Adventure
Bali’s dry season stretches from April to October, and July sits right at the heart of it. That means:
- Clear blue skies with little to no rain
- Cooler morning air (great for activities like trekking or cycling)
- Stable river conditions for rafting
- Firm, dry trails for off-road ATV riding
Unlike the wet season, where weather can be unpredictable and trails get slippery, July offers predictability and performance—two things that matter when you're planning an outdoor adventure.
At Infinity Bali Adventure, this is one of our busiest months—not just because of the weather, but because everything feels alive: the rivers, the trails, the jungle, and the people.
2. It's High Season—But Adventure Spots Are Still a Secret Escape
Yes, July is part of Bali’s high tourist season. But while temples and beach clubs get crowded, adventure locations offer a peaceful contrast. Imagine rafting through a lush river valley while everyone else is stuck in traffic heading to Seminyak. Or cruising through rice fields on an ATV while the sunset crowds fight for space at Tanah Lot.
With Infinity Bali Adventure, you don’t just escape the crowds—you dive into a part of Bali that most tourists never get to see. Our activities take you deep into:
- Rural villages
- Bamboo forests
- Hidden river canyons
- Traditional farming paths
It’s Bali beyond the brochure.
3. Rafting on the Ayung River Is at Its Best
The Ayung River is Bali’s longest river and a favorite destination for rafting lovers. In July, its flow is ideal:
- Not too aggressive (like in the rainy season)
- Not too shallow (as it might be in late dry season)
This balance makes it perfect for all skill levels, including beginners and families. The rapids (Grade II–III) are fun, splashy, and just the right level of thrill.
What you’ll experience:
- Gentle to moderate rapids
- Scenic jungle views and cliff carvings
- Waterfalls cascading beside the river
- Wildlife sounds echoing through the canyon
Our guides at Infinity Bali Adventure are trained to lead groups of all backgrounds, and every rafting session includes:
- High-quality gear
- Professional safety briefing
- Waterproof bags
- Lunch with a view after the ride
4. The ATV Trails Are Dry, Fast, and Wild
Mud might sound fun to some, but during the rainy season, ATV riding can turn into a tricky, slippery mess. July offers the perfect compromise: the trails are still a bit dusty, but they’re solid, rideable, and full of adrenaline.
In our ATV Ubud experience, you’ll go through:
- Forest tracks
- Water tunnels
- Steep hills
- Rice field crossings
- Small river dips for a splash of fun
You’ll get dirty (in the best way possible), and our quad bikes are powerful yet beginner-friendly.
Don’t worry if you’ve never ridden one before—we provide:
- A full safety demo
- Helmet, boots, gloves
- Tandem ATV options for kids or couples
- Flexible pacing based on group comfort
5. It’s the Ideal Time for Combo Adventures
If you’ve got limited time in Bali, July’s consistent weather allows you to pack more adventure into a single day—safely and comfortably. One of the best ways to do that? Try a combo package with Infinity Bali Adventure.
Some of our most popular July combos include:
- Rafting + ATV: Splash then rev through Ubud’s terrain
- Rafting + Bali Swing + Jungle Lunch: Thrill meets chill
- ATV + Waterfall Visit + Coffee Tasting: Off-road adventure plus local flavor
With July’s weather, you won’t have to worry about delays, trail closures, or sudden storms ruining your plans.
6. Great for Families and First-Time Adventurers
July coincides with school holidays in Australia and Europe, which makes it the perfect month for family-friendly travel. Infinity Bali Adventure welcomes kids, teens, parents, and even grandparents to join the ride.
We provide:
- Tandem rafting seats for younger kids
- ATV rides that can be adjusted for comfort
- Family-style lunch menus
- Staff who are used to working with mixed-age groups
Never tried rafting or ATV before? July’s friendly conditions make it the ideal time to start. Clear paths, calm rivers, and warm days ease first-time jitters.
7. The Views Are Crystal Clear
This may sound small—but if you’re into photography or just want great memories, July is unbeatable for views.
- The skies are bright blue, not hazy
- The water in the rivers is clearer
- The fields are golden-green with harvest
- The light is crisp and perfect for photos
Whether you’re rafting through a canyon or climbing a hill on your ATV, you’ll want your camera or phone ready. And yes, our guides are more than happy to take those envy-inducing action shots for you.
8. You’ll Leave with More Than Just a Tan
When you choose to explore Bali through its rivers, trails, and villages, you connect with the soul of the island. You meet the people who grew up there, walk paths that generations have taken, and experience the land not as a visitor—but as a participant.
With Infinity Bali Adventure, you don’t just sign up for a tour. You join a story—one of nature, culture, challenge, and joy.
And July? It’s the perfect chapter to start that story.
