Day 1 Ubud.

Om Swastiastu! Welcome to Ubud, the arts and cultural centre of Bali. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 5pm. Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask reception where it will take place. If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time for the welcome meeting, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). Afterwards, perhaps head out for an optional dinner with the other families. If you've arrived early, Ubud is a wonderful place to experience the magic that has made Bali such a popular travel destination. Perhaps explore the Blanco Renaissance Museum, the Puri Lukisan Museum, the numerous Hindu temples or the Puri Saren Agung in depth.

Day 2 Ubud.

This morning's adventure takes you out of town and up amongst the lush landscape of Bali to Pinge Village in Tabanan. You will pass by two villages, rice fields and temples. You will make a stop at a local community house and flower farm where you and your family can try to pick the flowers when in the harvest with your bike ride ending at the Ancient Bayan Tree. The terrain will be mostly flat with some parts downhill. The estimated riding time is 2 hours. Lunch will be at�a local Balinese Compound/House who serve up an authentic Indonesian meal. All ingredients are locally and organically grown. In the afternoon we head back to Ubud where you will have some free time to wander the streets, swim in the pool and simply relax.

Day 3 Candidasa.

Take a short trip out of Ubud for an exhilarating white water rafting adventure as you rapidly drift down past an 11 kilometre (7 mile) stretch of river. Navigate on a 2 hour trip through class II and III rapids while taking in a backdrop of pristine rainforest, shadowy gorges and serene rice paddies. Once the trip comes to an end, warm yourself back up with a shower before continuing onwards to Candi Dasa later in the afternoon. Spend some free time wandering around the town. Perhaps relax by the attractive lagoon, take a swim in the inviting waters or take advantage of the excellent snorkelling conditions.

Day 4 Candidasa.

This morning after breakfast you will have some free time to relax at the hotel before heading to Pekarangan village. Here you will have the opportunity to meet a local farmer and his family. The family farm pandan leaves that are then produced into Woven items such as mats, coasters, and trays. The farmer will tell you the story of the pandan leaves and rattan and you will have the opportunity to try your hand at making a matt or coaster while the kids will have fun making kites with the farmers' children. While we are at the farm you will be offered some local coffee and tea with traditional cake and snacks. It will be an experience the whole family will enjoy. The afternoon will be spent at��Virgin Beach where you will enjoy the soft white sand and swimming in the clear blue water. Why not try your hand at flying your kite you have just made.

Day 5 Amed.

Leaving our hotel we walk cross the road and head to the rice fields to start our Rice Terrace walk. The kids will enjoy walking through the countryside and rice terrances listening to your guide explain the importance of water for Balinese people whose livelihoods are in agriculture. The walk is along uneven tracks and irrigation channels with some up and downhill walking and should take 1 hour. Back at the hotel you will have time to relax, cool off in the pool before we made our way to�Tirta Gangga. Tirta Gangga water palace is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues. The gardens were designed and constructed in 1948 by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem (1887 - 1966), who was the last Raja (King) of Karangasem. The centrepiece of the palace is an eleven tiered fountain. After our visit we continue on through lush countryside to Amed, a long coastal strip of fishing villages in East Bali that clasp themselves along a series of stone-speckled beaches. With the palm tree coated hills in the background and the inviting water slowly lapping the beach in front, feel free to sit back and relax for the rest of the afternoon.

Day 6 Amed.

After breakfast we take to the water. We meet our snorkeling guide who will take the group to 2 stops along the coast - location will be dependent on the tides and the group's snorkeling and swimming ability / experience. Stops could include: Jemeluk coral bay, Japanese Ship wreck or USA liberty ship wreck in Tulamben. Back in Amed you will have free time to take a relaxing stroll along the shore or even do some yoga.

Day 7 Sanur.

After departing from Amed, you and the family will head to Sanur, the trip's final destination. Today, you're lucky enough to visit our Intrepid Foundation partner in Sanur - Coral Triangle Centre. They help to restore the coral reefs off the coast of Bali and educate local communities about the importance of ongoing environmental conservation. You'll all get a fascinating look into their work with a mini education session that the kids will love! Then, you'll get the chance to wander their centre for marine conservation. This afternoon, enjoy some free time. Maybe head out for a stroll along Bali's first beachfront walk and get the kids to look out for all the marine life they just learnt about. Or, watch the fishermen in the shallows, relax at your accommodation or kick back at one of the beachside restaurants. As the traditions and local customs are well maintained in this area, ancient temples are also easily accessible, just a short distance from the beach. Regroup tonight for a final included dinner with the other families.

Day 8 Sanur.

Today marks the last day of your trip and there are no further activities scheduled. If you'd like, consider booking further accommodation to make the most of Sanurs balmy beach life.
