In the dry season from April/May to October/November, the temperatures are milder and the humidity is lower than in the rainy season. The sea is calm and not as stormy as in the rainy season, making it an ideal time for island hopping. These months are the best time to experience most of the popular activities, such as diving, swimming, hiking and surfing. The rainy season is from October to April, which brings especially short and heavy showers that usually occur in the late afternoon or evening. Here, the region generally seems a bit calmer, as it is not the main travel season. Even in the rainy season, Indonesia is absolutely worth a trip, as the waterfalls are even more impressive than usual.
