Day 2 in Amed: Family Adventures, Food Finds & Ocean Fun on Our Bali Road Trip

Day 2 in Amed began with a golden sunrise and strong coffee at our villa — the perfect way to fuel a full day of family adventures. While the kids played, Chad and I launched the drone for some scenic flights over the stunning coastline. Breakfast was light and tropical: banana pancakes and piles of fresh fruit. We hired a scooter for just $15, which made zipping around Amed super easy. A quick morning coffee stop at @omkarmacafebali gave us our caffeine fix before a supplies run into town. Back at the villa, we tried spotting sea turtles with the drone — no sightings, but lots of laughs! Lunch? Absolutely delicious. We grabbed a table at the always-reliable @warung_enak_amed for plates of mie goreng and satay. We stopped by @garam.amedbali to stock up on locally harvested Amed sea salt, a lovely souvenir that supports the community. Afternoon chill time included a few competitive rounds of UNO, a splash in the ocean, and an unexpected but hilarious family challenge — underwater rock running (pro tip: it’s intense but super fun!). Later, Lola and I cooled off with frozen yogurt from @sweetumsforthetums, while the boys recharged poolside. Our highlight of the day? Renting glass-bottom kayaks in the early evening. Gliding over coral gardens bursting with neon fish felt like paddling through an aquarium. We wrapped up with a relaxed dinner at @warungbobo, where the grilled fish was a hit with the kids. One final sweet treat — an ice cream run to @indomaret — sealed the perfect Bali day. Amed truly offers the ideal mix for traveling families: calm beaches, friendly locals, and easy adventures without the tourist bustle. Whether you're snorkeling, paddling, or just soaking up those coastal views, it's a gem worth discovering.
