Detailed Description

Receive the warmest welcome upon your arrival in Bali during your 9-day family-friendly tour of the island’s sensational highlights. The idyllic tropical paradise features more than crystal clear waters and sparkling sand offering the family immersion into the epic history of Hindu and Buddhist culture, as well as the preserved natural splendor of the volcanos, jungles, and valleys. The family will experience the spiritual intensity of the island found in customary dances and historic statues. Bali is an irresistible package for the whole family with cultural villages, smiling artisans, and endless natural charm.

Your family adventure in Bali begins with your arrival at Denpasar Airport. You have nine days at a luxury resort overlooking the soft sands of Sanur providing comforts, attention to detail, and secure privacy. The culture inherent in island life invites you deeper into the island heritage immediately with a Barong and Kris dance performance in Batubulan Village setting the pace for the mixture of natural splendor and folklore the children will enjoy throughout your time on Bali.

Traditional sites on the island range from artisan villages like Celuk and Ubud Art Market to sensational temples like Pura Besakih Temple, Jagatnatha Temple, Buddha Temple, and Uluwatu Temple, as well as the opulent grounds of the former royal palace of Kertha Gosa. Experience the true beauty of Bali’s nature when visiting Bukit Jambul Rice Terrace and the hidden charms of long-tailed macaques wandering through the Monkey Forest around the collection of spiritual temples isolated beneath the canopy. The beaches and waters around Bali call to the family as well, offering plenty of snorkeling opportunities or chances to relax on the secluded sands of Nusa Lembongan.

A private surfing lesson allows the family another shared experience on the water with everyone learning to catch the rolling waves at Kuta Beach. The family will be enveloped by the intricate details of Balinese culture discovered around the various regions of the island such as when visiting the top of Kintamani Volcano, relaxing in the soothing hot springs at Banjar, witnessing dolphins breach the waters of the Indian Ocean, or wandering through the enchanting field of statues at Garuda Wisnu Kencana Culture Park. We work closely with the best Bali travel operators to ensure that you have a fully personalized trip of a lifetime.

Indonesia Birthday Travel Review: Bali, Yoga, Floating Food...

Our recent trip to Bali was absolutely unforgettable and we owe it all to the incredible team that helped make it such a smooth and joyful experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.

A huge thank you to our amazing Zicasso travel agent, who made coordinating a group of 11 people look easy. She ensured every detail was in place and helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process.

We were also fortunate to have our guide. His knowledge, warmth, and professionalism made each activity even more meaningful. And a big shoutout to our drivers for getting us everywhere safely and comfortably, with patience and smiles.

The activities were perfectly curated, from a beautiful birthday dinner celebration to yoga, the floral happy birthday message, the floating breakfast, and so much more; even the small, magical moments that were beautifully captured by the photographers who our travel agent arranged.

Every venue we visited went above and beyond to accommodate our group, and we felt genuinely welcomed everywhere we went. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and we’re incredibly grateful to our travel agent, guide, and drivers for making it such a success. We all had an amazing time and I would 100% recommend this team to anyone planning a visit to Bali.

Five stars all the way!

Indonesia Vacation Review: Bali, Jungle, Elephant Sanctuary,...

Our trip to a Bali was simply amazing and it could not have been better. I contacted three agencies about Bali a few years ago, but we didn’t end up going at that time. When we started to plan our Bali trip this year, we contacted Zicasso's tour company because they had been the most helpful the first time around.

Indonesia Family Tour Review: Bali, Yogyakarta, Flores,...

We had a spectacular time making memories with our family in Indonesia. The Zicasso tour agency's team was considerate, caring, accommodating, and well-organized. Their attention to detail, consideration, and anticipation of issues were unparalleled. We were out of the country and they still made sure we got the best service from the craftsman we ordered from. Our family will have lasting memories of this special time. We are looking forward to booking another trip with them.

Bali / Indonesia Vacation Review: Culture, Local Cuisine,...

The trip to Bali was absolutely outstanding. I can’t speak more highly of the team from an execution perspective or overall service; it was top-tier. By the time we left, it felt like I had made a mini family and it is a connection I will never forget. 

The team was so accommodating, being on time for every single thing we needed, providing constant communication between us and the venue, explaining our credits and experiences, and even moving events around due to the rain. I really appreciated such a hands-on experience so far away from home, and also having some flexibility to venture out on our own.

The tours were amazing and a true embrace of the culture of Bali. I loved how we stopped for local food and shops, and I really think that is always what makes a great experience: local experiences you can bring home with you. 

Zicasso's travel agent was such an amazing host and always a complete joy to be around; 10 days, with three cities, is a long time to keep high energy. They were also very accommodating when we decided to add things to our itinerary while we were there, like private surfing, accommodating our snorkeling needs, etc. 

The travel specialist also learned what each of us enjoyed very quickly and was able to grab me a personal massage on the beach by four people (lol). We enjoyed some beers together. This was such a memorable experience, including all the pictures and videos he helped take to capture all our memories. 

The travel agent also could not have been more accommodating with driving us around everywhere, including to some really late dinners. This made the experience so worth it because we felt safe and knew we had the right accommodations to explore at different times.

The travel consultant greeted us at the airport and at every location where we switched hotels and were introduced to a new city. The ease of navigating these changes was made so seamless and the upgrade on our hotel room was the nicest surprise ever! All the communication from start to finish was top-tier and extremely helpful! This included exchanging money for us so we didn’t have to worry at the airport. Small things like this make your travels so much easier, so you can just enjoy things without thinking. This is the true definition of luxury travel. This is my third time using Zicasso and this was the best-planned and most well-executed trip I have had. 

Thank you all for everything!

All my love.

Bali / Indonesia Travel Review: Ubud, Sanur, Candikuning,...

The hotel in Sanur was absolutely special! We highly recommend it. The resort in Ubud was also wonderful. The staff were great. We had no idea this town was such a vibrant place and would have loved more time to explore it, possibly from a walkable hotel.

Our guide and driver were wonderful and flexible when we needed to stop for a Diet Coke and iced cappuccino. We also felt that Zicasso's travel company was flexible with our changes as we went.

We did the Bali safari on our transfer day and it was a stop we really enjoyed.

Nice job, all involved!
