Volcanoes, jungles and island adventures — Indonesia is a family playground where discovery comes alive in unforgettable ways.

Indonesia is a country that seems made for family adventures, with over 17,000 islands offering a world of contrasts. One day you might be cycling past emerald-green rice terraces, the next snorkelling above rainbow-coloured reefs or walking through ancient temples where incense drifts on the breeze. With such variety, every member of the family finds something to fall in love with, whether it’s wildlife, culture, food or simply time together in beautiful surroundings.

Travelling here is as much about the experiences as the destinations. Bali’s welcoming culture makes it an easy starting point, Lombok and the Gilis add barefoot beach escapes, and Java’s dramatic volcanoes and heritage sites capture the imagination. Days can be as active or relaxed as you like, with boutique hotels and private villas offering plenty of space to unwind after adventures. For families with older children, Indonesia offers just the right balance of comfort, excitement and a sense of the exotic.

A team of real experts, brilliant at designing bespoke holidays.

"I’ve been travelling since my first solo trip at nineteen, exploring everything from Indonesia and Japan to Iceland and Tanzania. I believe the best holidays come from really understanding a place and shaping each trip with care and first-hand knowledge."

After a day of water-based fun, enjoy a picnic lunch on the beach and take a short stroll to visit Menjangan Temple.

Best Time to Visit Bali for Families

The ideal time to visit Bali is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. This is when the weather is sunny and perfect for outdoor activities such as exploring Ubud’s rice terraces or snorkelling around Menjangan Island. The shoulder months of April and September offer slightly quieter periods with great weather, while avoiding the peak tourist crowds. The rainy season (November to March) brings heavier showers, but it can still be a good time for indoor activities, exploring temples, and enjoying Bali’s lush, green landscapes, especially for those looking for a more tranquil experience.

Adding Bali to Your Itinerary

Bali is a fantastic addition to any Southeast Asia itinerary, especially for families. Whether combined with a trip to nearby islands or as part of a larger Indonesian adventure, Bali offers a balance of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Families can unwind on Sanur’s peaceful beaches, discover Bali’s rich culture in Ubud, or enjoy thrilling experiences like elephant encounters and snorkelling at Menjangan. The island’s variety of family-friendly hotels with pools makes it easy to mix adventure with relaxation, ensuring an unforgettable family holiday.
