Mumbai: December 2016: Extremely popular as a honeymoon destination, Bali may not be your first choice for a family vacation, but it’s a wonderfully welcoming place to travel with children, especially if you and your kids love to experience new cultures and possess an adventurous spirit.
Tabanan
With their inexhaustible spirit and enthusiasm, kids can be quite a handful, unless their energy is directed in the right direction. Like the exhilarating treetop adventure, at Tabanan, Bali. With a choice of 7 circuits of varying difficulties, your little ones will definitely have a ball with the 72 different obstacles, without any compromise on the safety thanks to the constant presence of a tripwire. So, grab this chance and give your little ones a chance to explore a very different side of Bali.
Big Tree Farms Bamboo Chocolate Factory
If chocolate is your family’s first love, then Big Tree Farms Bamboo Chocolate Factory is the place where your chocoholic passion takes wing. The tour starts with their delicious signature drink, the COCO MOJO, while guests are introduced to different varieties of chocolates, as well as provided a sampling of their cold-processed cacao and a short tour of the machinery used to make several of the products including Coconut Nectar and Chocolate. And, if you get a chance to pull your gaze off the amazing chocolates, you’ll be bowled over by the magnificent bamboo architecture of the factory. Being the largest commercial bamboo structure in the world, even CNN couldn’t resist talking about it.
Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is how Bali gives international beach resorts a run for their money. The plethora of exciting activities available will leave you spoilt for choice. Right from getting up close and personal with its stunning aquatic life on underwater walks to feeding the fish and exploring the unique coral formations, this is an education that your little one will never get in a classroom.
Upside Down House
You heard just right! This house in Bali ditches gravity to completely go upside down!
Something that feels right out of a fantasy book, you can enter seven specially designed rooms where the décor and furniture are deliberately placed on the wrong side. Walk on the ceilings and gather the family around for whacky poses, only to end up looking badass with gravity-defying stunts in the photos. Selfie sticks don’t really cut the deal here but don’t worry; the friendly staff is always around to help you with those amazing shots
Gianyar - Bali Safari & Marine Park
Bali Safari & Marine Park is home to a mind-blowing array of over 60 species of animals. The freshwater aquarium has feeding displays and cultural shows that shall keep you hooked. But if animal displays have lost their novelty and the ‘mundane’ activity of fish feeding feels too dull for you, how about a night safari?
As the sun sets, your guided tour around the park begins with gripping excitement. As you try to match up with the lightening fast Komodo Dragons, for a quick glimpse, or visit the bat cave to explore their dark habitat, you’ll realize that this is an experience that absolutely cannot be matched.
“Kids should find no shortage of things to do on a holiday in Bali”, says Nidhi Batra, Little Nirvana Explorers’ co-founder. “It’s a destination that still hasn’t been completely discovered yet, and while it’s a popular choice for couples, it’s definitely off the beaten path for your little ones!”
