We arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport and transferred to our resort nestled in the tranquil surroundings of Ubud. After checking in at Bintang Bali Resort, we took the day slow—unwinding, settling in, and exploring the peaceful surroundings. With the help of a convenient eSIM activation, we stayed connected and ready for the journey ahead.

Our family adventure began with a day tour to Central Bali. First, we were awe-struck by the panoramic views of Mount Batur from Kintamani Village. A visit to a local coffee plantation followed, where we sampled rich Balinese blends. We then explored the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terraces, the mystical Sacred Monkey Forest, and enjoyed the cool waters of Tegenungan Waterfall. Swinging above the jungle on the Bali Swing gave us a rush of excitement. This day was filled with exploration, laughter, and unforgettable photos.

We checked out from our Ubud hotel and transferred to Kuta. Along the way, we embarked on a scenic Bedugul Tour, starting at the picturesque Handara Gate, where we captured stunning family portraits. We then explored the tranquil Ulun Danu Beratan Temple set against Lake Bratan's serene backdrop. As the sun dipped, we ended our day at the iconic Tanah Lot Temple, watching waves crash around the temple rock. After a day of cultural immersion and nature, we checked into Sanctoo Suites & Villas for a peaceful night.

This day was dedicated to learning and discovery. We headed to the capital, Denpasar, where our first stop was the Bajra Sandhi Monument, a significant landmark chronicling Bali's history and struggle for independence. We continued to the colorful Kumbasari Art Market, exploring local crafts, fabrics, and souvenirs. Each stop gave us a deeper appreciation of Balinese heritage and traditions.

Our final adventure-filled day began at Tanjung Benoa Beach, where we dove into exhilarating water sports. From banana boating to jet skiing, the fun was non-stop. We then visited the calm shores of Padang Padang Beach, perfect for a relaxing break. As evening approached, we made our way to the magnificent Uluwatu Temple, perched on a cliff, to witness the dramatic Kecak Dance performance as the sun set into the ocean.

With hearts full of memories and cameras full of pictures, we packed our bags for home. After breakfast and hotel check-out, we took our final drive through Bali’s scenic roads, bidding goodbye to this island that gave our family so much joy, adventure, and togetherness.
