Discovering Hidden Gems in Northern Bali with Kids
It is quite a transformation to experience life enriching with your going to the less travelled places in Bali with your children. Reaching the north, you will be closer to the original side of Bali, which is truly peaceful and where most of the customs are still intact. That traditional side was attractive mainly for families with the slower tempo and activities that could leave them with a meaningful experience. There are hidey-holes hidden at the core of nature, and kids are expected to fall in love with them the most frequently.
Secret Beaches and Calm Waters
Those of you with children can relax on the secluded parts of the coasts while they play, explore, and collect shells in the calm and shallow waters. The lesser-known beaches are all less crowded, and they are also the places where children find their own private space for fun while adults sit comfortably in the shadow of the coconut trees. You can have a picnic and spend a day at the sea free from the sound of the crowded southern beaches.
Exploring Waterfalls and Forest Trails
Drive off a clean road and sail through the mountains to spot the falling water of the streams forming numerous waterfalls in a rainforest that, if you didn't know they were there, would never come to mind. Waterfalls are a refreshing and suitable place where children can go to the natural ponds for a swim. They might even join a simple and lovely nature search as they will unexpectedly encounter cheerful birds and their colourful feathers and some fabulous and dazzling butterflies.
Cultural Encounters and Local Crafts
Get your little ones familiar with the cultural aspects of the Balinese by dragging them around the island visiting local artisans who carve wood, make textiles, and produce other handicrafts... Many regions are happy to get guests, as they can also benefit from them. They are often those that offer some activities to the children, like making a simple cushion or learning a few steps of a certain dance the community is famous for. Kids are immersed in those instances to such an extent that they would hardly notice that communication and play are the bedrocks of culture appreciation.
Hot Springs and Wildlife Watching
Immersing yourself in warm thermal springs lying peacefully amidst tropical greenery is a perfect way to spend a family day off. While grown-ups will be busy relaxing, kids may entertain themselves by having some water fun. In the early hours of the day, you can embark on a short sea voyage to observe water creatures—an extraordinary occasion of joy for young ones and learning about nature at the same time.
