Discover Bali Like a Local: The Ultimate Family Travel Guide

Dreaming of your next Bali getaway? Let us help you make it unforgettable. We're Chad & Mia — Aussie parents of four who swapped road trips for rice fields and now spend our days uncovering Bali’s best-kept family secrets. Think less of busy tourist traps and more of enchanting waterfalls, sunset beach picnics, and cafes with dedicated kids’ corners. Sound like your kind of holiday? Start your mornings in Ubud, where the jungle hums and monkeys swing past rice terraces. The Campuhan Ridge Walk is pram-friendly and perfect just after sunrise. Or take a cooking class with your little ones — sticky rice and satay skewers taste even better when made together! For a splashier day, make your way to Waterbom Bali in Kuta — not just your average waterpark, but a safe, clean paradise with rides for all ages (yes, even toddlers). Love a free day? Some of our fave beaches — like Green Bowl and Melasti — are both serene and super kid-approved. Looking to save? Grab local SIM cards for cheap data, and eat where the locals eat. Warungs (small family-run eateries) serve delicious nasi goreng for around $2 AUD and are always welcoming to kids. And the best secret? In Bali, families are everywhere — and welcomed everywhere. It’s a culture that celebrates children and community. Whether this is your first visit or your family’s Bali reunion tour, we’re here to help you experience the island like locals do — with adventure, heart, and a good dose of sunscreen.
