Expedia\u2019s Kiwi family travellers love\u00a0Bali<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 often staying for 6 to 7 nights. And why not? It has a wonderful tropical climate, with lots to do and see, great food and shopping, and some of the friendliest people I\u2019ve ever met.<\/p>\n

Bali is also a great value destination, so you can enjoy treats like massages on the beach, a nanny for nights out without the kids, or even a driver to take the stress out of getting around. The most popular times for Expedia’s Kiwi travellers to visit are around Dec\/Jan and during the June school holidays, but there’s plenty to do year round.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got kids or teens with an adventurous attitude to life, Bali will get them outside and off their video games.\u00a0Here are a few activities you can do as a whole family that will get everyone\u2019s hearts racing.<\/p>\n

Climb an active volcano<\/h2>\n

Mount Batur (Ganung Batur) is an active volcano standing at 1,717m. If you don\u2019t mind an early start, arrange a guided trip to the top for sunrise. If the kids aren\u2019t keen to get out of bed, remind them it\u2019s not every day they\u2019ll get to climb an active volcano!<\/p>\n

White Water Rafting<\/h2>\n

I have great memories of dong this as a teen on my first visit to Bali. The Ayung River, a one hour drive from most tourist centres, is a popular place to raft. You can raft down class II and III rapids, enjoying views of lush rainforest, rice paddy terraces and stunning gorges at the same time. Children will need to be at least seven years old and comfortable in the water to raft with most companies.<\/p>\n

Learn to Surf<\/h2>\n

Bali has great surf beaches, with plenty of surf schools offering family lessons. Why should the kids have all the fun? If you\u2019d rather shop than \u201chang ten\u201d, book the 7-12 year olds into a \u2018kids only\u2019 lesson for the morning.<\/p>\n

Elephant Safari<\/h2>\n

At the Elephant Safari Park north of Denpasar, you can ride on a magnificent Sumatran elephant or stay overnight at the\u00a0Elephant Safari Park Lodge<\/a>\u00a0to really soak up the experience of being with these beautiful and endangered animals.<\/p>\n
