Tour Overview
Although Indonesia’s perfect island getaway is often pondered as a land of beaches and sunbaking, it may come as a surprise that there’s another side of Bali as exhilarating as the other side is relaxing. Take the family into the ricefields and over the rapids near Ubud, pedal on an exhilarating bike ride past rural villages, kick back on the beaches at Amed then head to Sanur for a taste of the upmarket holiday life on an island holiday with all the trimmings.

If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time for the welcome meeting, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). Afterwards, perhaps head out for an optional dinner with the other families.

You’ll all get a fascinating look into their work with a mini education session that the kids will love! Then, you’ll get the chance to wander their centre for marine conservation. This afternoon, enjoy some free time. Maybe head out for a stroll along Bali's first beachfront walk and get the kids to look out for all the marine life they just learnt about. Or, watch the fishermen in the shallows, relax at your accommodation or kick back at one of the beachside restaurants. As the traditions and local customs are well maintained in this area, ancient temples are also easily accessible, just a short distance from the beach.

Accommodation
- GENERAL ROOMING CONFIGURATIONS:
- Family of two - All family groupings of two will be put into a twin room.
- Family of three - Wherever possible we will put you in a triple room. Please be aware that in a handful of places triple rooms are in short supply. This means that, in practice, a triple room will often simply be a twin room with a mattress on the floor or a further bed squashed in. Where it is impossible to provide a triple room, you will have to decide which of your party takes the single room.
- Family of four or more - You will most likely stay in two twin rooms. If and wherever possible we will aim put you in a quadruple room. Whilst we will do our very best to ensure that families are roomed close together (in some cases, we can arrange adjoining rooms), we can’t guarantee this. Most family holidays occur during peak season and we sometimes have little to no control over where you will be put. You need to come prepared for this.
