- Indonesia is split by the equator, resulting in a warm, tropical climate all year round. The best time of year to visit Indonesia is between May and September when the days are dry and sunny. However, during the wet season temperatures are still high, and rain only lasts for a couple of hours, and certainly won’t spoil your trip.
