The short answer
When to go to Canggu
June to September is the most comfortable window, with the lowest rain in the Denpasar airport record and slightly cooler nights. It is also the busiest and most expensive time, so book hotels and drivers early. From November to March the rain is heavy and humid, which makes beach days unreliable and lanes slippery; older travellers can still visit with indoor options and a midday rest.
