The Bali Family Fun Starter is the perfect introduction to Bali for families with young children — a 5-night adventure that balances thrilling activities with relaxed downtime, all in a setting that is safe, beautiful and endlessly welcoming for families of every age.
You'll stay in a cheerful 3-bedroom private villa near the safe, calm waters of Sanur beach — with a child-safe pool, lush tropical garden and a kitchen for early mornings and late evenings. Your days take you from the roaring slides of Waterbom Bali — Asia's most awarded water park — to the ancient wonder of the sacred Monkey Forest and Bali Bird Park, where little eyes go wide with delight.
Route: Arrival → Sanur Family Villa → Waterbom Bali → Ubud Monkey Forest & Bird Park → Sanur Beach → Balinese Cooking Class → Departure
Your private Sanur villa comes with three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large garden and a shallow child-safe pool — all the space and comfort a family needs, at a fraction of the cost of hotel rooms.
Asia's most acclaimed water park — a full day of slides, lazy rivers, splash zones and wave pools for every age. Parents love the adults-only area; kids never want to leave the children's water zone.
Two of Bali's most beloved wildlife experiences back-to-back — a morning in the ancient sacred Monkey Forest where hundreds of long-tailed macaques roam freely, followed by the spectacular Bali Bird Park, home to hundreds of exotic tropical species.
Sanur is Bali's safest beach for children — its protected reef creates a sheltered lagoon with calm, clear, shallow water perfect for confident and beginner swimmers alike. A guided snorkelling session reveals Bali's vibrant coral world to even the youngest explorers.
A hands-on morning at a traditional Balinese family kitchen — visit the local market to pick fresh ingredients, then cook authentic Balinese dishes together. Kids learn to make satay and nasi goreng, and everyone eats what they create. A memory that lasts long after the holiday ends.
Your family travels in comfort the entire trip — a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver keeps transfers stress-free, flexible and fully private. No shared coaches, no waiting around. Perfect when travelling with young children.
Arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport where your private driver greets you with a welcome placard. Scenic 30-minute drive to your Sanur family villa. Check in, freshen up and let the little ones discover the villa pool. Your villa comes stocked with a welcome fruit basket and chilled drinks. Easy evening dinner at one of Sanur's excellent family-friendly beachfront restaurants — casual, relaxed and delicious. Early night for everyone after the journey.
Full day at Waterbom Bali in Kuta — Asia's top-rated water park. From the thrilling multi-storey slides like Superbowl and Smashdown for older kids and teenagers, to the dedicated children's area with gentle splash pools and mini slides for toddlers, every member of the family is perfectly catered for. Parents can enjoy the adults-only Lazy River and luxurious food cabanas. Our driver returns in the evening when you're ready — you set the pace. Dinner at a lively Kuta restaurant on the way home.
Morning drive to Ubud (approx. 1 hour) through Bali's stunning rice-terrace countryside. First stop: the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary — 12 hectares of ancient forest home to over 700 long-tailed macaques living freely among 186 species of trees and moss-covered temple ruins. Your guide helps the children interact safely and understand the Balinese spiritual significance of the monkeys. After lunch in Ubud town, head to Bali Bird Park — over 1000 exotic birds from 250 species, including Bali Starlings, hornbills, cockatoos and free-flight shows that delight children of every age. Return to villa by evening.
A beautiful, relaxed day at Sanur beach — one of Bali's most family-friendly coastlines. The protected reef means gentle, shallow, crystal-clear water perfect for children to wade, splash and swim. Morning guided snorkelling session for the kids — bright tropical fish, sea fans and coral just metres from the shore in water no deeper than two metres. Adults can relax with beach chairs and cold coconuts while the children play. Afternoon at leisure — kite flying on the beach, paddleboats or simply building sandcastles. Easy sunset walk along Sanur's famous beachside promenade before dinner.
Morning market visit with your Balinese cooking host — explore the colourful local produce market and choose the ingredients for your family meal. Back at the family kitchen, everyone joins in: parents master the spice pastes and sambals, while children learn to make satay sticks and decorate traditional rice dishes. You eat the full meal you created together — a wonderful shared experience. Afternoon: visit the ornate Pura Taman Ayun royal water temple at nearby Mengwi — a beautiful, peaceful setting where children can learn about Balinese Hinduism through the help of your guide. Farewell dinner back in Sanur.
Final morning at your Sanur family villa. After a leisurely breakfast and last splash in the villa pool, your driver will collect you at a time suited to your departure flight. Scenic drive to Ngurah Rai Airport, approximately 30 minutes. Tour ends with warm farewells — your family carries home memories of Bali's magic, and likely the children will already be asking when they can return.
