Family trips in Bali

Ernest is a father of three himself. He plans days with short drives, plenty of breaks and things children love: monkeys, waterfalls, kites, dolphins and calm beaches.

Ideas for children

A few favourites. Ernest mixes them into a plan that suits the ages of your children.

Ubud Monkey Forest
Hundreds of monkeys in a jungle full of old stone temples. Exciting for children, with a few simple rules that Ernest explains.
Kite making and flying
Build a traditional Balinese kite and fly it on the beach. In the windy season the sky is full of giant kites.
Dolphins in Lovina
An early boat trip to see dolphins jumping at sunrise.
Snorkelling in Amed
Calm bays with coral and colourful fish close to the beach, good for first-time snorkellers.
Sanur beach
A long beach with calm water behind the reef and a flat promenade for bikes and strollers.
Cooking class
Children love rolling satay and making their own sambal, mild or spicy.
