Bali Road Trip Throwback & Travel Planning Guide

Throwback + planning mode 🚗✨ Before the road trip begins — here’s a look back at our first Bali road trip and a quick run-through of the route and plan for this one. Let’s go.

**Bali Road Trip Throwback & Planning Guide 🚗🌴**<br><br>Before jumping into the next adventure, let’s rewind to our first Bali road trip — a journey filled with seaside sunsets, mountain mist, and endless nasi goreng breaks. Flashback to exploring Ubud’s lush jungles, catching Tanah Lot’s golden hour, and bonding over roadside warung stops. It was the kind of trip that reminded us why Bali is such a family favorite.<br><br>Now, we’re shifting back into planning mode for our new Bali road trip, and this time, we're doing it even bigger (and smarter). Here’s a quick overview of our updated itinerary perfect for traveling with kids:<br><br><strong>📍 Day 1-2: Ubud</strong> – Cultural heart of Bali. Think rice terraces, monkey forest adventures, and family-friendly yoga classes. Great base to start slow and settle in.<br><br><strong>📍 Day 3-4: Munduk Highlands</strong> – Cool air, cascading waterfalls, and scenic coffee stops. Ideal for families who love nature and a peaceful escape from the beach crowds.<br><br><strong>📍 Day 5-6: Lovina</strong> – Less touristy northern coast. Try sunrise dolphin watching and soak in the Banjar hot springs — a hit with the kids!<br><br><strong>📍 Day 7-9: Amed</strong> – Black sand beaches, snorkeling for all ages, and a calm village vibe. A good spot to relax mid-trip.<br><br><strong>📍 Day 10-12: Canggu</strong> – Back to the buzz. Family-friendly cafés, surf schools for kids, and plenty of space to run around.<br><br>**Travel Tips:**<br>✔️ Rent a car with a driver — less stress, more views!<br>✔️ Pack light layers (it gets chilly in the highlands!)<br>✔️ Don’t overpack the days. Bali magic happens in the in-between moments.<br><br>Let this throwback fuel your planning — because Bali is worth exploring more than once. Ready, set, reroute! 🌺
