How to enjoy: it's a long day on bumpy island roads — keep it to the big viewpoints + one easy beach and skip the steep Kelingking stair-descent with the kids. Sit mid-boat for less bounce, go light on breakfast (sea-sickness), snorkel the calm bays, keep everyone hydrated.

What to bring: reef-safe sunscreen, kids' rash vests & swimmers (worn under clothes), motion-sickness remedy (ginger chews for the 5yo), a dry bag for phones, towel, spare clothes, hats, sunglasses, water & snacks, cash.

Showstopper Snorkel A$320 booked

Status: ✅ Booked with ATVUbud — Sat 1 Aug, 10 AM. 3 tandem quads (all six ride) + 6-pax Ayung River rafting + transport included. → @atvubud.id

How it runs: kids 5 & 7 ride tandem (adult drives) across 3 quads, then everyone (incl. both kids) on the raft. The operator confirmed 6 pax rafting, so the 5yo is covered. Both big adventures on one rested day.

Cost: ~IDR 4.3M total (ATV 550k×3 + rafting 350k×6 + transport 550k). Pay cash in IDR — card adds 3%. Bring change money near their cashier if needed.

What to bring: sunscreen/sunblock, a full change of clothes + towel (you'll be mud-soaked), closed-toe shoes, hair ties, phone in a waterproof pouch.

Adventure All six ride ~A$430 booked

Status: 🔲 To book — Mon 3 Aug, on the Ubud→Sanur drive (Singapadu). Replaces Bali Safari, because the kids can actually feed the animals here (Safari tiger feeding was 14+). → book tickets

How to enjoy: arrive at opening (9am) while it's cool and the animals are active; pre-book the elephant feed & mud or Breakfast with Orangutan for the hands-on highlight; check the day's show/feeding times at the gate. Half-to-full day. Entry ~A$35 adult / A$25 child; packages ~A$55–76pp.

What to bring: swimmers + towel (jungle splash), a spare change of clothes (elephant mud!), sunscreen, hats, water, cash. Luggage stays locked in the HiAce.

Big wow Hands-on for kids ~A$25–76pp

Waterbom Bali (🔲 Day 8 · → book): go at opening, grab a locker + towel, park the 5yo in the Zuluu kids' zone & lazy river while adults tag-team the big slides. Bring swimmers under clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, spare clothes, waterproof phone pouch, cash; a passport/ID may be asked for.

Bali Swing (🔲 Day 2 · → book): go early for soft light & short queues; check height/weight limits for the 5yo (smaller swings/nests are fine); you're harnessed in. A flowy outfit photographs well — but secure phones & sunglasses, wear closed shoes, bring cash.

Sacred Monkey Forest (pay at gate, Day 3): ⚠️ don't hand-feed or carry loose food/bags, grip sunglasses & phones, let the kids watch not touch (rabies caution).

• ⚠️ Rabies is present in Bali — at the Monkey Forest, don't let the kids hand-feed or touch the monkeys. Any animal bite/scratch (monkey or dog) = wash thoroughly & get medical care immediately for post-exposure shots.
