WaterBom, Bali Island
Waterbom is a water-games park in Bali Island. There is a range of exciting activities for every age group and some of them are enjoyed along with the whole family.
There are several water slides, one of them is sliding through a semi-transparent tube. The sliding always ends up in a safe lagoon splashing the water all around and you are screaming with joy.
The waterbom park is located near the Discovery Kartika Plaza in South Kuta, Bali Island. Totally, there are 17 fun-filled water slides in Waterbom.
It’s a large area with landscaped gardens, swimming pools and a host of restaurants. If you enter the water park by 10 am, you would spend the whole day at the park, thoroughly enjoying with your children. At the end of the day, you could see your children smiling all their way to the hotel room, happily yapping about their pleasures.
Before you plan your next vacation to Bali Island, know the names of the water slides and do a bit of research about them so that you can choose the rides that you want to give priority.

For a little boozing around, select the swim-up bar for a change. Why not sip a glass of tropical drink in style, at least once in life?
Bali Safari and Marine Park
Ah, here comes the most lovable pastime for all; the wildlife watching in a safari vehicle with an expert ranger guiding you into the woods and pointing out the spots where the animals usually doze off.
The Bali Island Safari traverses nearly 40 hectares of tropical forest where as many as 60 species of animals and birds are spotted. Oh yes, they are free but in large enclosures. You can watch them from inside the safari vehicle, usually a bus. So, don’t expect an open jeep; you are not treated like John Wayne.
Here are some of the wildlife you can see in Bali Island safari.

Ayung River Rafting
How about asking your children to go rafting on Ayung River? Since the river flows for over 75 km, rafters can enjoy a long time on the water where you are given company by some tropical birds that hunt for fish.
For children, rafting is offered where water is calm and one can paddle for a few minutes before relaxed cruising.
Once your children have garnered enough courage, take them to Sobek, one of the leading adventure and white water rafting operators in Bali Island.
Rip Curl School of Surf
Yep, it’s a school alright but there are no classrooms in this school. The ocean is the classroom and you are taught to enjoy the ocean by:

I think I would try the bodyboarding water sport. It must be exciting to catch the wave while lying on your stomach on the board. Quite lazy-eh?
Kemenuh Butterfly Park
If your children are great admirers of colorful flowers which I am sure they are, they can surely enjoy spotting known and rare butterflies. It is said that there are over 500 butterfly specimens in the garden.
