Bali was one of the destinations we were most excited about during our family trip to Indonesia. With its beautiful temples, lush rice terraces, tropical jungles and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, there are so many fun things to do in Bali with kids. We had five days to explore the island and wanted to experience as much as possible while still choosing activities our kids would enjoy.
We chose Ubud as our home base for our five-day Bali family itinerary. Its central location made it a great starting point for exploring some of Bali’s most popular attractions, as well as getting out into the countryside. We filled our days with a mix of cultural experiences and family-friendly adventures, including visiting temples, riding ATVs through muddy jungle trails, white water rafting, cycling through traditional villages and hiking to waterfalls.
While we loved many of our experiences in Bali, there were a few challenges along the way, especially when it came to getting around Ubud with kids. In this post, we’ll share our complete five-day itinerary for Bali with kids, including our favourite activities, where we ate, where we stayed and the practical tips we learned along the way to help you plan your own family adventure.

Is Bali Worth Visiting with Kids?
Bali is an excellent destination for families who enjoy a mix of culture, nature and outdoor adventure. During our five days in Bali with kids, we used Ubud as our base to explore beautiful temples, walk through rice terraces, ride ATVs, go white water rafting, cycle through villages and hike in the jungle.

Our 5 Day Itinerary in Bali with Kids
Day 1: Tanah Lot, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and Ulun Danu Beratan
We decided to kick off our five days in Bali with kids with a private full-day sightseeing tour. It took us to three of the island’s main attractions, including a stunning seaside temple, rice terraces and Ulun Danu Beratan.
I liked that this full day Bali sightseeing tour was an easy start to our stay on the island. Sitting back and allowing someone else to do the driving allowed us to get the lay of the land and learn a lot for the days to come.
Tanah Lot
We visited Bali during the peak summer season, so the drive to Tanah Lot took about 90 minutes from Ubud. The roads in Bali are very narrow and the amount of traffic really slows things down. Despite the traffic, we enjoyed getting a glimpse of everyday life in Bali as we drove through different parts of the island.
Tanah Lot is one of Bali’s most famous temples, perched on a rocky outcrop just off the coast and surrounded by water at high tide. It’s a beautiful place to visit with kids, especially if you combine the temple with time to explore the surrounding paths and viewpoints.

Pura Batu Bolong
What makes Tanah Lot most special is its stunning oceanfront setting. The first thing you see here is Pura Batu Bolong, a small temple on a rocky peninsula jutting out into the ocean. What makes this temple especially beautiful is the large natural arch in the rock, with ocean waves flowing beneath it.

Tanah Lot Viewpoints
From Pura Batu Bolong, it was a short walk along the beautiful coastline to Tanah Lot. Along the way we enjoyed many elevated viewpoints which showcased the special setting for this temple. Tanah Lot sits on a round, rocky peninsula with ocean water on all sides. At high tide, the temple is surrounded by water.
As foreigners, we were not allowed in Tanah Lot, but as it was low tide, we were able to walk on the rocky ocean floor to admire it from all angles. It’s a particularly beautiful temple with a five-tiered meru shrine as its main feature.

Sugar Bombs
After our 30-minute visit to Tanah Lot with kids, our guide stopped at a local food vendor. Here she bought us “sugar bombs” to try. These delicious street food snacks are covered in shredded coconut and filled with liquid palm sugar. They were delicious!

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces
After visiting Tanah Lot, we headed north into the hills to visit the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. The drive there was especially nice as we finally left the seemingly never-ending city and entered the countryside. The fun, winding mountain road passed through many other rice terraces along the way.
The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces are a beautiful patchwork of rice fields that stretch across the hillsides of central Bali, with several walking trails that let you explore right among the fields. Jatiluwih is also part of Bali’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed cultural landscape, recognized for its traditional subak irrigation system, which Balinese farmers have used to cooperatively manage water for centuries.

After an enjoyable lunch with a beautiful view of the rice terraces, we set out on foot to walk through them. While the terraces are undoubtedly more beautiful from afar, it’s also very interesting to get up close to learn more about their history and how they work.

Ulun Danu Beratan
After visiting the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, we continued venturing further north to Ulun Danu Beratan, the final stop on our introductory sightseeing tour of Bali.
Ulun Danu Beratan is one of Bali’s most recognizable temples, famous for its beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Beratan in the cooler Bedugul highlands. The temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the Balinese Hindu goddess associated with water, lakes and rivers, and its lakeside meru shrines can appear to be floating when the water level is high.

We enjoyed wandering through the temple complex, which had plenty of beautiful viewpoints and creative photo opportunities.
Our kids enjoyed an opportunity to buy fish food and walk on a foot path through a large koi pond. They had lots of laughs as they fed the very hungry and aggressive fish.

There were other attractions within the Ulun Danu Beratan, including a small petting zoo, and the opportunity to get your picture taken with an exotic animal such as an owl, flying fox or snake.
The setting and temple buildings of Ulun Danu Beratan were undoubtedly beautiful, but overall, it felt very Disney-fied. The entire complex has been turned into one photo spot after another. Sadly, it didn’t feel very authentic anymore.

Recommended Tour
We really enjoyed this full day Bali sightseeing tour. It was the perfect first day activity in Bali.

Day 2: ATV Riding and White Water Rafting in Bali
We had some really fun family adventures planned for our second day in Bali with kids. We had booked a family-friendly ATV / white water rafting combo tour!
ATV Tour
Our driver picked us up at our vacation rental and took us directly to the ATV experience. It was clear from the busy parking lot that this is a very popular thing to do in Bali.
After signing our waivers, the staff helped us get into proper safety gear which included helmets, elbow pads, knee pads and rubber boots. There were change rooms where we could put on our swimsuits. Don’t wear your good clothes on this Bali ATV tour, as you’ll almost certainly get muddy and wet.

Starting the ATV Tour
I was a bit surprised when the tour began on, and stayed on, narrow paved trails. I had expected a more natural dirt road track, but this ATV track was mostly paved. That said, they made sure to design the trail with countless bumps, obstacles, etc. to provide tons of thrills. Once I got over the initial disappointment that we were driving on pavement, I started having a ton of fun.
The track led us through a rural area north of Ubud. We passed many small temples, rice fields, banana plantations, farmers working and deep patches of trees. There was always something fun to look at.
ATV Gorilla Tunnel
Then we entered the Gorilla tunnel you see in all the promotional pictures. It’s a bit gimmicky, but fun for the kids. Inside the tunnel it’s a bit dark, and the road is designed to knock you back and forth, which is great for some laughs.

Super Fun ATV Tracks
The next fun ATV area was an oval section with deep, muddy water. We went round and round, getting ourselves nice and dirty!
There were also several winding tracks filled with bumps, twists, turns and obstacles. I had my daughter on the back of my ATV and heard nothing but a steady stream of laughs, giggles and small screams. She loved it!

Dirt ATV Track Through Jungle
After riding through the various tracks several times, we started to head back to the beginning. This time we got to go on a real, natural mud track through the jungle. This is what I had envisioned this Bali ATV tour would be like and it didn’t disappoint. It was a ton of fun.
This family-friendly Bali ATV tour was more like a theme park ride than a true natural quad adventure. But I’ll give them credit, we all had a ton of fun!

White Water Rafting
After our morning of ATV riding in Bali, our driver took us to our afternoon adventure: white water rafting. We had previously tried white water rafting on family trips to Slovenia with kids and Iceland with kids, so we were excited to try it in a tropical paradise.
Preparing for White Water Rafting
Upon arrival our guide helped us get geared up for the adventure. As with the ATVs, we were happy they had kid-sized helmets and life jackets. Before long we were in the back of a tuk tuk on our way to the river.
When the tuk tuk stopped, we walked through some rice fields until we reached the top of a deep river valley. The vegetation was so dense it felt like we were back in the jungles of Sumatra. From here, we descended several hundred steps to reach the river.
On the side of the river, our guide gave us a safety talk and instructions on white water rafting. Once complete, we hopped in our raft and were on our way.

White Water Rafting Through the Jungle
The setting for our white-water rafting adventure in Bali was exceptional. The jungle towered above us several hundred feet. There were vines hanging down over the water, and many towering waterfalls flowing into the river, giving the whole experience a cool jungle vibe.
This was a really good river to go white water rafting with kids. There are plenty of good rapids, but nothing that was too scary. There are massive boulders jutting out of the water in the rapids, making our raft more like a pinball. Our guide kept us on the best paths, making the rapids a lot of fun for our family.
There were a few stops along the way. The first was at the highest waterfall of the trip. We all got out of our boat and into the river for a closer look.

The next stop was for snacks and refreshments. The highlight here was watching a playful river otter not far away from us.
All told, we were on the water for nearly two hours. It was so much fun, the time went by in a flash!

Recommended Tour
If your family wants some adventure on your trip to Bali, this ATV & white water rafting combo tour is a great place to start!

Day 3: Walking Around Ubud with Kids
Our third day in Bali with kids was our only day without any tours. We were excited to go and explore the area around Ubud on foot.
After a delicious breakfast at Pistachio, we set out for our mini walking tour of Ubud. Our first stop was the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk, which was about a 20 minute walk from our rental house.
Walking Through Ubud
Despite all the fun things to do around Ubud, I have to say it’s one of the least enjoyable towns I’ve ever explored on foot. The streets are narrow and always congested with cars and motorbikes. Sidewalks rarely exist and it’s always precarious dodging traffic.
You could argue that navigating Ubud’s busy streets is part of the adventure, but walking around town with kids was frustrating. We just want you to be aware of this as you plan your family trip to Ubud. I strongly recommend you plan to spend most of your time in Bali outside of Ubud.

Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk
Thankfully, our first stop on our Ubud walking tour, the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk, was a welcome escape from the busy streets
Mount Lebah Temple
This short walking trail is a popular thing to do in Ubud. It begins near the Mount Lebah Temple, which features a few really tall merus. If you wish to enter the temple, be sure to wear appropriate, respectful clothing.
The Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk is mostly uphill along a wide trail made from paving stones. The uphill is moderate and should be doable for most walkers.

A Walk Through the Forest
After leaving the Mount Lebah Temple, the trail enters a well-treed area, which offers relief from the hot Indonesian sun. Our daughter found tons of cute little caterpillars along the trail, while the rest of us enjoyed watching the colourful butterflies flittering about.
A Small Village
The forest gives way to a small village after 1 km (0.6 miles) of walking. From this point you can walk as far as you feel before turning back. The village is full of little restaurants, snack shops etc., so bring your wallet to treat yourself to some refreshments.
The trail map on AllTrails says the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk is 1.7 km (1.1 miles) one-way. We walked just over 2 km before turning back.

Although there was still traffic in the village, the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk was a welcome relief from the crazy busy roads below. And it’s always nice to enjoy a physical activity that’s not too difficult in this hot climate.
It’s worth noting that although we did this hike in the daytime, this is also a popular place to watch the sunset in Ubud.

AllTrails Map
We used AllTrails to find the trailhead and track our progress along the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk.
Ubud Art Market
After our enjoyable walk on the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk, we made our way to the street market across from the main Ubud Art Market. The street market is a long street lined with vendors selling every kind of souvenir imaginable. The vendors go on and on, seemingly without end.
Later in our trip to Ubud, we visited the main Ubud Art Market in the building across the street. If you are looking for souvenirs for your family trip to Bali, these two destinations are the best places to go.

Kajeng Rice Field Walk
When we reached the end of the Ubud street market, we saw a sign for the Kajeng Rice Field Walk. I was looking at this trail on AllTrails the night before as I was planning our free day in Ubud. Given that we were right here, and we had enjoyed the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk, we decided to give it a try.
Tranquil Rice Fields
The walk begins with an uphill paved path past restaurants and shops before reaching the peaceful rice fields.
We loved that the Kajeng Rice Field Walk felt tranquil almost right away. Walking though rice fields is an excellent way to leave the madness of Ubud behind.

Personalized Paving Stones
Large portions of the Kajeng Rice Field Walk are along fun paving stones, which were personalized by visitors and businesses. Each had its own unique message and artwork, making it a ton of fun to walk along and read.

Although there’s apparently an 8 km (5-mile) loop, we walked about 1 km through the rice fields before turning back. If you are looking for an easy family walk in Ubud, the Kajeng Rice Field Walk is a good choice.

AllTrails Map
We also used AllTrails while enjoying the Kajeng Rice Field Walk.
Monkey Forest Road
By the time we finished the Kajeng Rice Field Walk, it was mid-afternoon. We made our way down Monkey Forest Road for some more souvenir shopping. As opposed to vendor stalls in the Ubud Art Market, Monkey Forest Road has a wide variety of retail stores and restaurants to enjoy.
We were successful in our souvenir shopping, with our kids finding good stuff for themselves and their friends.
Day 4: Family-Friendly Countryside Bike Tour in Bali
On our fourth day in Bali with kids, we were excited to go on a countryside bike tour through rural villages.
Breakfast over the Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Our tour began with breakfast at a restaurant with a beautiful view of the Tegallalang Rice Terraces. These rice terraces were smaller than the ones we had seen a few days prior, but they were very pleasing to look at. We had a table overlooking the terraces and we had fun watching the people ziplining and enjoying the swing in beautiful dresses.

Luwak Coffee Plantation
Our next stop on our way to biking was at a coffee plantation which specializes in Luwak coffee. This very expensive, unique coffee has an interesting story.
Small animals called civets eat the coffee cherries. After passing through their digestive systems, the coffee beans are collected from their droppings, thoroughly cleaned and roasted.
We passed on trying the Luwak coffee, but we did enjoy a tasting flight of nine different coffees and five teas. They were all very good. Our favourite coffees were the coconut coffee, vanilla coffee, chocolate coffee and avocado coffee.

Northern Bali Bike Tour
After our coffee tasting we headed further north to meet our biking guide. We met them just outside a village where they had a selection of bikes set up. When we each found bikes and helmets for our sizes, we were on our way.
Sightseeing by bike is one of my favourite things to do while travelling with kids. You see a lot more than just walking, yet you are still outside and interacting with the world around you.
Our bike tour was just under 19 km (11.8 miles) long and 99% of it was a gentle downhill. This was the perfect activity to do in Bali on a hot day. There’s very little effort involved and you always have a cooling breeze from the bike.

Cycling Through a Small Village
Our family-friendly biking tour in Bali took us through a remarkable variety of different settings. We began in a small village; it was Sunday and the local kids were out of school, so we had fun interacting with them as we cycled by. Indonesians are always so quick to smile, wave and say hello.
We then left the small village and began cycling though small paths in the rural area. It was a really interesting perspective of rural life outside the tourist zones of Bali. We passed many temples, rice fields, little shops, craftsmen, farmers, etc.

Bamboo Forest
One of our favourite parts of this downhill bike tour was cycling through the bamboo forest, which our guide said was one of the biggest in Bali. We couldn’t believe how dark it got in the middle of the bamboo forest. It was almost like nighttime.

Cycling Through Suburbs
As we started to reach the end of our tour, we cycled through what appeared to be a small city. Our driver appeared out of nowhere several times to stop traffic and let us cross the road. Most of our cycling through the city was on quiet side roads, allowing us to enjoy watching day-to-day life.
Our tour ended when we reached a beautiful water temple, dedicated to the former king of Indonesia.

Recommended Tour
We love cycling tours when we travel and this family-friendly Bali bike tour was especially fun.

Day 5: Twin Lakes Jungle Hiking and Banyumala Waterfalls
Our original plan for our final day in Bali with kids was to go on a snorkeling tour to the Blue Lagoon. After seeing how busy many of the other top tours were in Bali, we changed our minds. We love snorkelling, but in our experience, large crowds can quickly ruin an otherwise excellent outing. So, we changed our plans and found a family-friendly Bali hiking tour instead.
Twin Lakes Viewpoint
In northern Bali there is a viewpoint of two beautiful lakes: Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan. After a 2-hour drive from Ubud, we met our hiking guide here.
It’s a stunning viewpoint so we paused to take some pictures and videos before beginning our hike.

Hiking into the Jungle
The trailhead for our jungle hike was nearby and we started to descend into the jungle. At this stage the trail was paved steps, but the surrounding jungle was very real indeed. I immediately noticed the amount of birdsong in the air, including the distinctive sounds of a woodpecker.
As is common on jungle hikes, our guide stopped frequently to discuss notable plants and trees. Many of them have medicinal qualities, while others are just interesting or dangerous. We love passion fruit, so we were excited to learn it grows in this forest. The passion fruit flowers are beautiful.

Hulundanu Tamblingan Temple
Before long we arrived at the Hulundanu Tamblingan Temple, a rustic temple which had gone partially natural from its forest setting. It was very photogenic and fit right into its surroundings.
We left the paved trail here and began our real hike through the jungle on a single track dirt trail. This may sound funny, but not all jungles are the same, and this one was a particularly nice jungle. It just felt like a jungle, with lots of vines, fern trees and all kinds of dense foliage all around.

Banyan Trees
Our guide stopped to show us several banyan trees. These massive ficus trees grow overtop a different species of tree. They grow from the top down, eventually planting its roots in the same soil as the host. Over time, the growing banyan tree can deprive its host tree of nutrients, eventually killing it. This is why you see many massive, but hollow banyan trees in the jungle.

Fun Photo Ops in the Jungle
There were a couple of fun family photo ops in the jungle, including a jungle swing and a massive banyan tree that had fallen over.

Canoe Ride Across Lake Tamblingan
After 3.5 km (2.2 miles) of primarily downhill jungle hiking, we reached the shores of Lake Tamblingan. While we waited for the next canoe, our guide shared some yummy sticky rice treats with us.
The middle part of this Bali hiking tour involves a canoe ride across the lake. The locals had joined two canoes together with wooden benches between them. We sat on the benches while they paddled us across the lake. It was a fun, peaceful way to take in the scenery. Lake Tamblingan has a beautiful natural setting surrounded by jungle covered hills.
As our canoe ride came to an end, we glided through a patch of lily pads near the far shore. There’s a small temple with many merus near the landing spot.

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls
Our driver was waiting for us here and drove us to the nearby Banyumala Twin Waterfalls for the final part of our tour. From the parking lot, it’s a 20-minute downhill walk to the waterfalls. The gardens along the trail have been thoughtfully planned with many beautiful plants and flowers.
The Banyumala Twin Waterfalls are like a scene from Jurassic Park. Two towering waterfalls, flowing side-by-side over a tall cliff roughly 200 feet above. All sorts of tropical plants cling to the rock near the waterfall, making this an idyllic jungle scene.
You can also bring your swim trunks and swim beneath the waterfall. We chose not to, but it sure looked like a fun activity on a hot day in Bali.


Recommended Tour
We loved the Twin Lakes hiking tour; it was the perfect way to spend our last day in Bali with kids.
Where We Ate in Bali with Kids
Bisma Sunset Corner
We first visited Bisma Sunset Corner for dinner on our first night in Ubud. Just a short walk from our vacation rental, we were drawn in by its excellent reviews and extensive menu of Western and Indonesian favourites, making it a great option for families with different tastes.
We arrived around sunset and were treated to a beautiful view from the restaurant’s balcony overlooking the rice fields. With the sun setting and more than 20 kites flying in the distance, it was a memorable way to end our first day in Bali.
The food was very good too. Our kids enjoyed familiar favourites, while we tried some Indonesian dishes, including chicken satay and curry. We enjoyed Bisma Sunset Corner so much that we returned for dinner on our last night in Ubud, as well as breakfast one morning. During our visit, it opened at 7 AM and offered a good selection of Western breakfast options.

Taco Fiesta Bali
Ok, ok… yes we went for Mexican food while in Bali. To be fair, we had been on our family trip to Indonesia for nearly two weeks. Our son is especially picky and we felt he hadn’t been eating proper amounts of food. After our ATV and white water rafting tour, he was starving and just wanted a filling meal of something familiar that he loves.
Taco Fiesta Bali was surprisingly good and reasonably authentic Mexican food (an earlier attempt at ordering a taco for him during our trip to Sumatra with kids was a hilarious failure). Our kids had beef burritos, which were large and really tasty. I had a burrito plate, while Celine had fish tacos. We all really enjoyed our meals, and our son got a good, filling, healthy meal, which was the goal.
To be honest, we enjoyed our meal at Taco Fiesta Bali so much, we came back here a few nights later for another Mexican feast!

Mageli Gelato
If you want to meet the happiest guy alive, make a visit to Mageli Gelato. Conveniently located next to Taco Fiesta Bali, this fun gelato shop should be on your Bali itinerary.
The selection of gelato is modest with about 10 flavours on offer, but the quality is amazing. We each got cups with two flavours and thought they were all excellent. The salted caramel, coffee and chocolate mint gelatos were especially good.
Our daughter loved the pictures of rescue dogs all over the walls, while we enjoyed the really funky artwork and quotations on the walls.
We ended up visiting Mageli Gelato four out of our five nights in Ubud. The only night we missed was our arrival night and that was because we didn’t know about it yet!

Pistachio
We were fortunate to stumble across Pistachio when we were looking for a family-friendly breakfast restaurant in Ubud.
Pistachio is a moderately upscale breakfast restaurant with a great menu. Celine and I each ordered their set breakfast menu which included a fruit plate, pastry, cheese, a main dish from the breakfast menu, a coffee and a juice. We shared the extra items with our kids.
For our main items, I ordered banoffee French toast, which had caramelized bananas on top. Celine got avacado toast with bacon and eggs. Our daughter also got the banoffee French toast, while our son ordered a huge pancake. All of our breakfast items were excellent.
Pistachio was our go-to breakfast restaurant in Ubud and we ate here several times.

Açaí Queen
Our kids came to love açaí bowls during our trip to Cartagena with kids; they’ve been eating them ever since!
We stopped at Açaí Queen for a light lunch during our free day in Ubud with kids. We loved their fun selection of acai bowls; the kids each got an açaí bowl topped high with tropical fruit, while Celine and I each got mango sticky rice açaí bowls.
The portions were generous, the fruit was fresh and the açaí was delicious. If you are looking for a healthy, refreshing kid-friendly lunch in Ubud, check out Açaí Queen. They have a few locations around Ubud.

Umah Pizza
After enjoying Mexican food earlier in the trip, we didn’t feel quite so guilty about having another Western-style meal. This time we went for a pizza feast at Umah Pizza. The wood-fired pizza at Umah Pizza was really good. We split three pizzas between the four of us. We had Hawaiian, mushroom and ham, and a supreme pizza.

Novus Coffee
Our countryside bike tour included a late breakfast, so we needed a small breakfast just to get us going. Novus Coffee fit the bill perfectly. It was close to our vacation rental, was open at 7 am and had a decent selection of small breakfast dishes.
Celine, our daughter and I each had a smoothie bowl, while our son got an order of pancakes (with ice cream). These smaller dishes were perfect to get us through until our mid-morning breakfast offered by the tour. The cappuccinos were great too!

Where We Stayed in Ubud with Kids
When planning our family trip to Ubud, we spent a lot of time looking for a well-located, family-friendly resort. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find one with a room configuration that worked for our family.
So, we went with Plan B and got ourselves a beautiful 3-bedroom vacation rental with a swimming pool. Vacation rentals are relatively affordable in Ubud and we got a lot of home for our money.
We got a vacation rental on Bisma Street which parallels Monkey Forest Road. We liked its location as it was on a ‘quieter’ side street, located approximately halfway between the Royal Palace and the Sacred Monkey Forest. Bisma has a lot of good restaurants and shops to enjoy, with the main streets not too far away.
Our vacation rental had a wonderful set-up, with mostly outdoor living space. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were all indoors, but virtually everything else was open air. This allowed us to enjoy quality shaded, fresh-air outdoor time at home, while still being able to sleep in air conditioned comfort. We first encountered this style of house during our visit to Corcovado National Park with kids, and were excited to discover this one in Ubud, Bali.

Looking for the perfect place to stay in Ubud with kids? Whether you prefer a family-friendly hotel with a swimming pool or a spacious vacation rental with separate bedrooms and a kitchen, there are plenty of great accommodation options in Ubud. We recommend choosing somewhere with easy access to restaurants and shops, especially if you plan to explore Ubud on foot.

Follow Along on our Indonesian Family Holiday
Our journey to Indonesia began with a long flight from Canada to Singapore. We elected to spend a few days in Singapore with kids before beginning our family trip to Indonesia.
Prior to coming to Bali with our kids, we had spent 10 days in Sumatra. We began with an adventurous visit to Bukit Lawang with kids where we enjoyed a wide variety of jungle based activities including an elephant encounter and hiking to see orangutans. From there we spent a few days on the tropical island of Pulau Weh with kids.
After our 5 day trip to Bali, we flew to Borneo for the highlight of our family trip to Indonesia. During our trip to Borneo with kids, we lived on a private river boat while we explored the national park looking for orangutans!
