Bali Family Holiday with Teenagers
Experience Overview
Indonesia’s perfect island getaway is a land of beaches and clear waters, but there’s another side of Bali outside relaxing in a villa. On this exhilarating adventure, you can take the family over the rapids near Ubud, pedal past rural villages on two wheels and then kick back on the beaches at Amed. Walk through the countryside to see perfect rice terraces, explore the Tirta Gangga Water Palace with your teens and learn how to make a woven mat from pandan leaves in Pekarangan Village. This holiday balances the Zen of Bali with off-the-beaten path activities designed to get your heart rate up and keep the kids entertained!
Highlights
- Get your body moving on various adventurous activities like hiking through rice fields in Amed and cycling to the Ancient Bayan Tree in Ubud.
- Take a white-water raft on the Ayung River and pass through rainforest, gorges and rice paddies along the way.
- Snorkel in the clear blue waters off the shore of Amed on a guided snorkelling tour to coral reefs and shipwrecks and see local marine life like turtles, seahorses and colourful fish.
- Learn how turtles are hatched and cared for at the Turtle Conservation and Education Centre in Sanur, then spend the afternoon relaxing and swimming at the beach.
- Visit Pekarangan Village, where you’ll meet a local farmer to learn how pandan leaves are turned into woven household items, then try to make a woven mat or coaster to bring home.

Bali with teenagers was AMAZING!!!! My daughter and I enjoyed every moment of the trip. The teens were kept active throughout the entire trip. I could not recommend this trip and our tour group leader Wayan more strongly. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

My son and I loved all the activities and enjoyed hanging out with other families. Our tour guide was very helpful and made everything so easy for us to do. It was great having everything organised for us - white water rafting; biking and snorkeling.

The Bali family trip with teens was outstanding. Activities with local guides ranged from exploring coral reefs to basket weaving, and were all highly impactful. The accommodations and food were steeped in genuine local culture. The trip was enriching and rejuvenating.

Fabulous active trip for teens. The activities were spot on. The e-bike and river rafting were beyond expectations. Our tour leader was knowledgeable and was great with kids.

I chose Intrepid because as a solo mum I wanted to take my two kids on an adventure, but I didn't want the stress of planning or executing. Our Bali tour with our group leader Tini was amazing - the kids didn't want it to finish! Every day had a highlight, we couldn't pick a favourite! Definitely a great adventure for the whole family.

We had a fantastic trip and I would recommend. Our 14 year old loved the e biking, rafting and snorkelling but also relaxing by the pool. You do learn about the culture/lifestyle in Bali but this was intertwined with the activities rather than museum and temple trips everyday which suited us.

This was a great teenage family trip, with a good variety of activities for all the family. Bali is a really friendly island catering for all nationalities - especially when it comes to eating out too and there was plenty of choice for all the family.

What an adventure we had in Bali - expertly guided by Maman. Such variety and excitement with plenty of time for a chill. Never seen boys move so fast when the snake swam across the river!! My favourite were the UNESCO protected paddy fields - a photo cannot communicate the beauty and scale - all from an E-mountain bike.
