10-Day Bali Family Tour: Ubud, Uluwatu & Waterbom Park

Your journey begins at Ngurah Rai Airport, where your private driver will be waiting to greet you. The drive to the island’s cultural heart, Ubud, takes approximately 1.5 hours through changing island landscapes. Your destination is the Ayung Resort Ubud, perched dramatically on the steep banks of the Ayung River.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with refreshing drinks and a selection of seasonal fruits — a perfect introduction to the exotic flavors of Bali. The first evening is dedicated entirely to your recovery and relaxation. There is no better way to unwind than by the infinity pool, where the water seems to merge seamlessly with the emerald jungle. As the sun dips below the horizon, bathing the river canyon in warm, golden hues, you can simply soak in the water and let the anticipation of the adventures ahead sink in, completely free from plans or logistics.

After breakfast at the hotel, your private transfer will take you to the center of Ubud — the city widely regarded as the island’s cultural and spiritual soul. Here, Balinese life unfolds in vivid details that captivate travelers of all ages: from vibrant ceremonial processions in traditional attire to local women skillfully balancing tall baskets of offerings on their heads. As you wander the city streets, you can watch woodcarvers at work or find handcrafted toys and jewelry in the local boutiques.

A relaxed pace is the secret to enjoying Ubud with your family. Settle into one of the cozy cafes overlooking the rice paddies, where children can enjoy fresh tropical juices, or stroll along the walking paths through the terraces to discover the local flora. It’s a day to simply soak in the atmosphere and let the island's gentle energy guide you.

TThe morning begins with packing your bags — today you bid farewell to Ubud. Load the luggage into the car, as your journey toward the coast will transform into an immersive expedition.

Your first stops are the Bali Bird Park and Bali Reptile Park, home to over a thousand birds and the famous Komodo dragons. Observing these "last dragons on Earth" offers a rare glimpse into wildlife outside of typical enclosures.

The route continues through the Ubud Monkey Forest, nestled among ancient banyan trees and traditional Balinese temples. You will also witness the emerald Tegalalang Rice Terraces and the Tegenungan Waterfall, where children can truly feel like jungle explorers. Lunch will be served in the Kintamani region, offering panoramic views of Mount Batur, followed by a visit to a local Coffee Plantation for a tasting of fresh Balinese blends.

The day concludes in Seminyak. The evening is perfect for a seaside stroll: watch the surfers and the sunset while relaxing at a beachfront cafe with a scoop of local ice cream.

This day is entirely dedicated to beachside relaxation and recharging. Your hotel sits right on the shoreline, where a wide stretch of golden sand invites family games and the building of grand sandcastles. You can endlessly enjoy the warmth of the ocean and the rhythmic lull of the surf.

Should your little travelers wish for a change of scenery or a break from the ocean waves, a spacious pool awaits them within the hotel grounds. While the children stay busy with water games in the safe, calm water, adults can unwind in the shade of the umbrellas. This is a day free from schedules and transfers—just sun, fresh breezes, and quality time spent together as a family.

Today’s journey takes you to the southern tip of the island, to the sacred Uluwatu Temple. Perched on the brink of a steep cliff, it offers a dramatic view from 70 meters above the ocean, where the waves crash relentlessly against the rocky shore. The temple grounds are home to monkeys who consider themselves the rightful owners of the land, so it’s best to leave sunglasses and bright accessories safely in the car.

The highlight of the evening is a visit to the open-air amphitheater for the Kecak Dance. This spectacular performance allows the whole family to connect with Balinese traditions through the powerful movement and expression of the artists. In place of musical instruments, a live choir of nearly 200 men provides the soundtrack, their rhythmic chanting replacing an orchestra or drums. As a real fire is lit in the center of the stage, the silhouette of the setting sun over the cliff’s edge completes the scene. This hypnotic performance against the backdrop of the ocean sunset is an experience that leaves both adults and children spellbound.

This day is yours to enjoy at a leisurely pace, whether through coastal strolls or a bit of local shopping. In the Kuta and Seminyak area, the Beachwalk Shopping Center is well worth a visit — it is a modern, open-air space filled with lush gardens, making it a comfortable spot to wander with children, pick out gifts, and sample local cuisine in cozy cafes.

If you find yourself longing for the southern beaches, simply message our manager. They can arrange a private car for you to explore the coast’s hidden gems: Melasti, Pandawa, or Jimbaran. These locations, known for their golden sands and calm waters, are perfectly suited for families with children.

As evening approaches, the southern beaches offer some of the most stunning vantage points for the sunset — a perfect way to close the day by the ocean.

Today is all about being in the water for eight full hours — and no one will be asking to go home early! Waterbom is ranked among the top five water parks in Asia by TripAdvisor, and for good reason. The park’s longest slide stretches for 249 meters, and children usually find themselves racing back to the top the moment they finish their first descent. There are over a hundred different attractions to discover, ranging from heart-pounding slides to serene pools and dedicated zones designed specifically for the safety and joy of the youngest guests.

Between the thrills, you can refuel at the park’s charming restaurants or unwind in the spa area. It is the ultimate destination to combine an adrenaline rush with quality family relaxation, all set within a lush, tropical landscape.

After an active day on the water slides, it’s time for a more serene pace. Today, you can take a leisurely stroll through Seminyak, popping into charming local restaurants and independent art galleries along the way.

If you feel like taking a break from walking, the Tilo Kids Club at your hotel offers a perfect retreat. This modern play area is designed to keep children fully engaged under the care of a dedicated team, giving parents a well-deserved moment of free time. To close the day, head back to the beach: the vibrant sunsets of Seminyak are widely considered some of the most beautiful in all of Bali.

Today is your final full day in Bali. Begin the morning by focusing on your well-being: join a yoga session, visit the gym, or unwind in the hotel sauna. While you take this time to recharge, your little travelers can enjoy one last splash in the pool or spend their final island hours at the kids' club, wrapping up their adventures with games and new friends.

In the afternoon, take a leisurely family stroll through the local boutiques and stalls. It is the perfect opportunity to choose souvenirs and thoughtful gifts together, capturing a few final memories of your time on the island.

Your family journey has come to an end—it’s time to say goodbye to the welcoming shores of Bali and the rhythmic sound of the ocean. Spend this morning without any rush and savor one last leisurely breakfast on the terrace.

At the scheduled time, based on your flight departure, your private transfer will arrive to take you comfortably to the airport. Bali is the kind of love that stays in your heart forever. Until we meet again on the Island of the Gods!
