Being a catalyst to creating amazing family memories. We’ve designed this Signature Trip to ensure that it’s as far from your average Western vacation as you can get. Bali is an amazing destination with unique activities — especially for a family getaway.
What will make your friends jealous?
The fact that you parents *also* had a fantastic time. Visiting wildlife parks, watching sunset dance ceremonies, chocolate tours, and authentic cultural exchanges are activities for the *entire family* to enjoy — that means you *and* the children. It's your vacation too, and we want you to enjoy it.
How this itinerary will make your travel dreams come true…
The beauty of Bali is incredibly obvious; the children will have opportunities to have fun splashing around the island's aquamarine waters, but more importantly, they'll learn. They'll see a world off the screen, find it fascinating, and want to be a part of it. That's an incredible gift from you to them.
Places you'll stay
Ubud
Set in Bali’s lush interior, Ubud is the island’s cultural hub. As of late, it has become bustling tourist destination which bears little resemblance to a traditional Balinese village. Patches of paradise can still be found in Ubud, and it remains the center for spiritual tourism.
Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is known for its long, sandy beach lines with international luxury hotel chains. Situated on the southeast coast of Bali, Nusa Dua can be reached from Denpasar by taxi or private car in around 35 minutes.
Gianyar
The Gianyar province covers a corridor of land which stretches from Bali’s east coast, inland to Ubud. This area relies less on the tourist dollar, and more on industry profits. Gianyar village and its surrounds are home to many large factories that produce fabrics, as well as a famous night market specializing in authentic Indonesian cuisine.
Uluwatu
Uluwatu has some of the world’s best surf breaks, beautiful hidden beaches, and epic sunset views. The limestone cliff-fringed peninsula is home to the iconic Uluwatu Temple and other cultural opportunities. The area hasn’t been overdeveloped, so it’s still relaxing and peaceful. There’s a variety of accommodations available from inexpensive surfer rooms to deluxe resorts; and cliffside dining options with panoramic ocean vistas. Uluwatu is on the Southwestern tip of the Bukit Peninsula about 1 hour south of Ngurah Rai Airport.
Moments to look forward to
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
A unique combination of nature preserve, wild animal park, and Hindu temple complex, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary has much more than monkey business going on. This 31-acre (12.5 ha) park in central Ubud is home to more than 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys, three ancient temples, and swarms of tourists hoping for that elusive monkey selfie. Located in the lush forest area at the end of Jalan Monkey Forest Road, the Padangtegal Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is considered an important spiritual and educational center.
Bali Bird Park
Many feathered friends await at this family-friendly park created for the ornithological enthusiasts. The Bird Park is home to 1,000 birds of 250 different species. Seven distinct regions recreate geographic habitats complete with indigenous plant life and allow close viewing of many rare species. There are birds from the Indonesian archipelago, Latin America, Africa and Australia. You can get up close and personal with more than a few birds, and there’s also a Komodo dragon exhibit. Bali Bird Park is located in Batubulan in the Gianyar Regency, about 30 minutes north of Denpasar or south of Ubud.
Uluwatu Temple
This Balinese Hindu temple is in a spectacular location perched on the side of steep limestone cliffs towering 229 feet (70 m) above the Indian Ocean. One of the best spots for sunset photos, Uluwatu Temple also has packs of kleptomaniac gray macaque monkeys and traditional Kecak dance performances. It’s a trek to visit this temple at the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula, but the sunset vistas and neighboring beaches make it worth the trip.
