The island of <a href="https://theworldtravelguy.com/destinations/bali-travel-guide/">Bali</a>, Indonesia was visited by more than 6 million international tourists in 2024, and it’s one of the most popular travel destinations in Southeast Asia.
But how safe is it? The short answer is that Bali is very safe. It’s safer than most places in the world. I’d also happily recommend it to families and solo travelers.
However, the long answer is a bit more nuanced and there are at least a few good things you should know before you go to Bali.
In this blog post, I’ll address some common safety questions such as crime, traffic, monkeys, volcanoes, and more. I’ll also share my tips for staying safe from these things when you travel to Bali.
Background: My Experience In Bali
First of all, let me introduce myself and explain my background. I’m an American who’s lived in Bali since 2019, and I married a local Balinese. My wife Intan was born and raised on the island.
We’ve spent many days traveling all over every corner of the island, interacting with locals, hiking the volcanoes, doing the usual tourist activities, and also visiting many places that are well off the beaten path.
Between the two of us, we have quite a bit of experience in Bali, with multiple perspectives (both foreigner and local).
