Eve Tedja checks out new and exciting ways to explore Bali for your next family adventure.
When was the last time you tried something for the first time with your family? School is out, the children are restless and as parents, you want to take them on a memorable holiday. Come to think of it, there are only 18 summer holidays before children become adults and embark on their own adventures.
Kids are easier to please, for the promise of pools and slides are enough to make them jump with joy. However, your teens might feel that they have outgrown water slides and the simple pleasures of white sandy beaches. They are eager for something more challenging and looking for a more social media-worthy jaunt to fill their feed during the next family vacation.
Rope in your teens to help plan the trip and involve them in decision-making. A relaxing day by the pool might be your idea of fun but a bout of stimulation will be required for them to stay away from their smartphones. The beauty of Bali lies in its versatility as a holiday destination. There are enough activities for sulky adolescents who also want more independence. This challenging parenting period is the very reason why a family holiday is a great opportunity to communicate, connect and strengthen family bonds.
​We explore the bustling districts and far reaches of the island to find engaging pursuits to be experienced as a family. These adventures will take you and your loved ones to a hidden canyon, off-the-beaten-path bamboo forest, or even a mountain. Along the way, experience the natural wonders, art and cuisine of the Island of the Gods.
