Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport is the main entry point to Bali, the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia. Also known as Denpasar International Airport, it is the second busiest airport in the country. It caters to both domestic and international flights. 

The airport is in the southern part of Bali, 13 kilometers south of Denpasar city and 5 kilometers away from its nearest town, Kuta. It may seem far, but there are public transportations available when you arrive at the airport. These transportations can be inside the airport or outside the airport grounds.

Best family destinations in Bali (& how to get there)

Known as the Island of the Gods, Bali is Tripadvisor’s fourth most popular tourist destination in the world. It boasts the natural beauty of volcanoes, pristine beaches and coral reefs, and rich culture.

Here are the best destinations in Bali that your family shouldn’t miss:

​

1. Waterbom Bali

Waterbom Bali is one of the best waterparks in Asia and is known for being a botanical waterpark. Gardens and water systems surround the world-class slides and attractions to represent and maintain the natural beauty of Bali. 

The place offers a variety of activities for thrill-seekers, chill guests, and family and kids activities. 

Your children will surely have a blast in the Funtastic area specifically designed for kids. There are water cater cannons, wheels, giant dump buckets, slides, and ropes for your kids to play and spend their energy. 

Don’t worry because the area is designed to meet international safety standards and is closely supervised. It is open for kids with a maximum height of 125 cm. Kids under six years old should be accompanied and closely monitored by an adult at all times. 

If your family seeks more thrill, you should try out the Climax, a slide with a countdown timer that drops you almost vertically, whips you into an inverted loop, and shots you out in front of the crowd. However, only riders with a minimum height of 120 cm and a weight of 45kg are allowed. 

If you opt for a relaxing activity, you can float along with your kids in the Lazy River while enjoying the soothing tropical gardens. 

Waterbom Bali is in the heart of Kuta, which is only three kilometers away from Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport. The water park is a great first stop for newly-arrived tourists or people who want to kill some time during a layover. The waterpark is best accessible via taxis or private transfers.

2. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

Visiting Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a rare and unique experience for your family, especially for your kids. The sanctuary is a nature reserve and temple complex that houses more than 300 monkeys. Your family can get the chance to closely watch and interact with monkeys and enjoy the serene view of the place.

However, you have to be careful in letting your children closely interact with the monkeys. The sanctuary has set guidelines for visitors to protect both the monkeys and the tourists. 

Aside from seeing the monkeys, you can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the forest that has more than a hundred varieties of trees. There are also temples and different restaurants for your food trip. 

The sanctuary is on the main street of Ubud, Monkey Forest Street. It takes one hour and a half to drive from the airport. You can request a shuttle service if you are staying in a hotel or ride a taxi to the area. 

 

3. Sanur Beach

Bali is a surfer’s paradise because of its clear blue waters and waves. However, not all beaches are safe for your children.

Sanur beach is a highly recommended beach for families. Because of the offshore reef, the water is calm and shallow on Sanur beach, making it safe for children to swim and ride boats.

Though it might seem like a typical beach, it is quiet, has beautiful sunrise, is safe for children, and offers an affordable beach experience for your family. There are resorts, villas, and other accommodations near the beach with family-friendly amenities. They also provide superb dining choices for your family to enjoy. 

You can reach the Sanur beach by riding a taxi, shuttle, or private car. It will take you approximately 20 minutes to go to the beach if you take a taxi.

4. Mason Elephant Park

Want to have more animal experiences with your kids? Mason Elephant Park is the perfect destination for you. It is not only a park but also a rescue facility for Sumatran elephants. 

They provide different activities for an interactive and intimate elephant experience that will mesmerize your kids.

Mason Elephant Park lets you observe, touch, hand-feed, and take photos with the elephants. You can also wash and bathe with elephants as they play in their bathing lake. You can do this with your children ages eight and above. 

If you have kids below eight years old, don’t worry because other activities are open to all ages, which include elephant safari rides and night rides. There is also an art gallery, a museum, elephant education programs, and botanical gardens and orchid displays your family can relish.  

The park is just a thirty-minute drive from Ubud. You can reach the park by hiring or renting a scooter, a car, or a taxi. 

Wherever you go in Bali, don’t forget always to book a safe taxi with small children.
