When people think of Bali, they think it only offers beaches and white sand, so basically a beach vacation. However, while beaches are definitely plentiful, it only makes up a small portion of the activities the island has to offer.

Some of the best hotels will offer complimentary tours of the islands, but even if they don’t, you can be sure they will have all the information you need to plan your own tour. At the same time, similar opportunities may be available to those staying in budget accommodations, but they may only consist of beach activities. However, regardless of where you stay, you are in no way confined to a specific activity; if you are adventurous feel free to create your own outing.

While beaches are a popular area for many tourists, you don’t have to just sit on the sand. If you partake in a tour, you may be pleasantly surprised to find out that they also include water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, or fishing. Another popular activity is marine walking; tourists wear a helmet fitted with an oxygen hose so that they can walk around the sea floor without carrying heavy scuba gear.

Whitewater rafting is also popular in Bali. As long as your children are five years or older, you and your family can safely enjoy this thrilling experience. On the other hand, if you prefer inland tours, you may consider touring the volcanoes the stretch throughout the island. If you are really daring, you may even consider climbing to the summit and paragliding back down.

Another option for you and your family is the elephant safari park, which is renowned as the best in the world. This part offers short rides for kids as well as guided treks through the countryside on the back of your own elephant. Overall, Bali will never disappoint you; whether you want to relax on the beach or para-glide down a volcano, the island offers everything for everyone.
