Detailed Description

Bali is known as the Island of the Gods and during your 12-day family-friendly adventure, you will uncover the essence of charm and beauty emanating from the hills, highlands, and beaches. The family can easily lose itself in the fabric of the iconic culture for which Bali is known as the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia. Bali considers children sacred and a community affair, accounting for the cherished affection families traveling around the island receive while visiting temples or enjoying more adventurous activities shaping the perfect tropical family getaway.

The marvelous excursion to Bali begins with the family’s arrival in Ubud. Three days in the island’s capital of culture represents the spirit of Hinduism, the supported efforts of artisans, and preserved traditions of the local farming community. Your time in Ubud consists of exploring the fabulous scenery and immersing the family in the remarkable heritage of the island by viewing the Barong and Kirs dance telling a tale of the demon king and cycling around Ubud finding the celebrated artist market and captivating Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. Outside of Ubud, the farming traditions are introduced to the family teaching them how to cultivate rice and the methods needed for producing chocolate at a cocoa plantation.

Spend a few days at Bali Barat National Park to uncover the serene beauty of Bali’s land and sea. The temple of Ulun Danu Bratan embodies the wonder of the highlands leading to the western shoreline. Explore the temple complex on a lake island before settling into the luxurious comforts of a beachside hotel. Embrace the slower life of western Bali when surrounded by the natural wonders of nature. The kids can search for wild animals on the forest trails and scour the coral reef for colorful fish during a snorkeling excursion to Pulau Menjangan.

Discover the fantastical landscapes of Bali’s highlands with two nights in Munduk. The quiet village showcases the allure of the mountains most visitors to Bali miss captured in the fabulous views and remarkable waterfalls scattered along the peaks and slopes. While in Munduk, the entire family can enjoy the beauty of the countryside displayed within the budding lush plantations including a coffee plantation providing insight into the cultivation and flavors of delicious Balinese coffee. Cycle around the neighboring villages of Munduk in search of possible strawberry farms to visit or hidden waterfalls to uncover.

Several nights in Jimbaran bring the family back to the treasures of the Balinese shoreline this time on the southern coast of the island. Return to the culture of the island when visiting Uluwatu Temple at sunset. Each night the clifftop temple hosts magnificent sunsets followed by the enchanting storytelling performance of the Kecak Fire Dance. Your time on the beach brings the family into the waters with a private surf lesson and illuminates the tradition of ceramics on the island with a pottery class teaching the finer techniques of crafting traditional images of folklore or kitchenware. Realize the intricate flavors of Balinese gastronomy with a family-friendly cooking class learning how to marry the proper ingredients for specific local flavor before winding down on your final night in Bali at the family’s leisure. Looking for the top Bali family vacation ideas?

Italy Tour Review: Wine Tour, Cooking Classes, Local Cuisine,...

Zicasso’s travel company was wonderful in planning our trip on short notice and in line with our requests and preferences. Their suggestions of what to do and where to stay were perfect. And when we accidentally got off on the wrong island, the travel company quickly got us new ferry tickets to get to the right place. It was all seamless.

Iceland Tour Review: Selfoss, Nature, 5-Day Trip

Although the trip had a few bumps, Zicasso’s travel agency was excellent to work with. Our travel agent was responsive, informative, and had an excellent app (which he improved upon before we went away). He checked in regularly to make sure everything went smoothly and took all the pain out of self-traveling, which was the whole idea!

Greece Tour Review: 2-Week Trip

Five stars are not enough! From the moment we connected, Zicasso's travel agency curated the perfect trip from start to finish. It was almost as if they knew the ins and outs of my family and our desires; they knocked it out of the park.

Traveling with two teenage girls, accommodations were important to us. Our hotel choices were perfect, spacious, and centrally located. Every tour was perfect, curated, and personal.

As first-time international travelers, we were a bit anxious. We were constantly supported by the travel company, getting our questions answered immediately at all times of the day or night. We had the trip of our dreams and could not have done it without this amazing agency.

Our travel agent was a delight, a mind reader and a consummate professional. The most sincere appreciation to all on this stellar team. I will shout this agency's name to everyone I know planning a trip. Thank you!

Canada Vacation Review: Quebec, Gourmet Walking Tour, Bike...

All activities were very well planned and generally good choices. The tour guides were generally good, also. Our Zicasso travel company needs to review the night ghost tour. It was actually pretty terrible. Our group of about 25 didn’t enjoy themselves and, along with us, many left before the end.

The entire transportation plan was excellent and drivers were always on time and very polite. The accommodations at both hotels were excellent.

Thank you.

Italy Honeymoon Review: Rome, Sorrento, Cooking Class, Private...

This trip was the greatest week of our lives! Everything planned was better than I could have imagined. The private drivers being coordinated behind the scenes made the trip so easy and removed all the stress of trying to navigate a new country. Every driver and our tour guide was so nice and I feel like we made friends with all of them.

My favorite part of the trip was definitely the cooking classes and that every tour was private and intimate for my wife and I. The connections Zicasso’s travel agent hooked us up with made the trip the most memorable experience. Our travel agent and the travel company took special care of all the tiny details of the trip; our hotel knew it was my birthday and had a special surprise for me! I’m beyond thankful for the perfect honeymoon they provided my wife and I.
