The island of Bali is a gorgeous Indonesian jewel that deserves so much more time than just one day, but if that’s all the time you have to go out and see Bali, then this Bali tour is for you!

We had never visited Bali before and for our first trip we only had one free day to go out and explore. We really wanted to see what Bali was like outside of our resort too! We certainly hit the jackpot with our tour of choice which included fun activities, sightseeing and visits to iconic Bali tourist spots!

Our Klook Family Bali Tour

When I first started searching for a Bali Day Tour, I knew that the main points I wanted was that it was stress-free and also suitable for all ages. Being our first visit, I didn’t want to accidentally book us into a high pressure or risky activity! I didn’t want to be worrying about family safety – I just wanted us to have fun! Luckily there were plenty of kid-safe tours listed in Klook, and we found the best family friendly tour for our needs.

Ubud Cave Tubing

We looked through Klook’s Tours and spotted an activity we all wanted to try – Cave Tubing! This tourist activity was rated for all ages. The tour also included visits to some of Bali’s most famous tourist attractions. It was everything we were looking for in a Bali day tour package at an incredible price. Bali really is as cheap as everyone says it is!

Bali Tour with a private driver

Our Klook tour included a private driver.

Our driver spoke English, was super friendly and facilitating. He arrived early and messaged when he arrived.

The car was comfortable and air conditioned and our driver drove responsibly all day. He guided us to where we needed to be and never rushed us at any of our stops, waiting patiently. He didn’t even mind stopping in at shops we saw along the way! Nothing was too much trouble.

One of the best things about booking tours on Klook is that you know you are going to get professional service providers – and that’s peace of mind for me, knowing my family is in safe hands.

What is in a Bali one day tour itinerary?

Our Bali Tour’s main focus for us was the tunnel tubing but our day out offered us so much more than we expected!

The tour was about three hours driving in total including our Grand Hyatt Bali resort pick up and return in Nusa Dua. The drive itself was really fascinating, passing by on-road stores, busy markets and numerous temples. Steady traffic flowed along with moped bikes darting all around alongside of us!

As we moved into the mountains, the landscape transformed into beautiful rainforest and lush jungle views. It really felt like we were experiencing both Bali’s local town atmosphere and natural wonders. This was exactly the holiday adventure that I wanted for us!

Our One Day Bali Tour Itinerary

Tour Start: 10:00am

Pick up and departure from Nusa Dua by private car. We spent approximately one and a half hours driving through Bali’s city streets of Denpasar winding up into the mountains and Ubud.

Bali Private Day Tour Stop 1

Tourist Attraction – Civet Cat poo coffee plantation

First stop: The Cantik Agriculture 2 Coffee Plantation and Coffee Tasting – a shady coffee plantation visit which showcased the production of Civet Cat poop coffee – Kopi Luwak.

We were introduced to our guide and strolled through the shady groves of the plantation. We were able to watch the coffee hand-grinding and roasting process and were shown a native Civet Cat in a cage. We asked if the poop to produce the coffee was farmed and were told that the majority of Kopi Luwak comes from Civet Cat droppings collected in the wild, which sounded much nicer for the Civet Cats.

We then moved on to the tables in the tasting area to try some coffee. We sampled about 10 different types of tea and coffee for free and to sample cat poop coffee is 50,000 IDR (about $5 AUD) a cup. The Kopi Luwak (poop coffee!) isn’t as bad as it sounds! The coffee is made from the inner bean of the Civet Cat poo – it actually tastes pretty good!

When we were finished tasting we visited their big coffee store and bought a couple of different coffee packets to take home with us – including Kopi Luwak of course! 💩 

We spent 50 minutes at the coffee plantation in total. We bid goodbye to our friendly guide and met back up with our driver to carry on with our day trip.

Bali Private Day Tour Stop 2

Tourist Activity – Ubud Cave Tubing & Pandawa Cafe

Next up on our day tour was something we had really been looking forward to – Cave tubing!

Located at Nukuwera Pandawa Cafe in Ubud, this activity included all the necessary safety equipment and also lunch afterwards in a beautiful open-air pavilion on the side of a ravine set within rice paddies.

To start our Cave Tubing activity, we took a short ride in a buggy to the upper start point of the water channel. In no time at all we stepped down into the waist-deep water and climbed aboard our tubes. We all linked up together with our feet on each others tubes, and off we went!

Cave Tubing is an activity suitable for all ages – we saw one Dad carrying his toddler with him! It’s really fun to float along on inflatable tubes down a slow-moving canal. Along the way you float through several short tunnels under the rice paddies. There were a couple of cave sections where you had to duck down, and only two tiny “rapids” sections at the very end. The water is a safe adult waist-depth all the way along, so if someone falls off their tube (no one did, it’s so gentle), they can just stand up.

Our tubing guide was really entertaining and had us laughing all the way. He had eyes on us the whole time and the activity never felt unsafe. Our guide often offered to take photos of us too!

When we reached the end we climbed out. There were warm basic showers in the locker area and towels too. We were soon showered and dressed again, and ready for lunch.

The cafe itself was a gorgeous bamboo pavilion set on the side of the gorge. There are spots to take some lovely photos there.

We were very hungry after our tubing adventure, and the included lunch was very nice. There was the choice of noodles or rice and bottled water was provided. We were able to buy some soft drinks and ice creams too. We sat and took our time eating, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

We spent two hours and ten minutes in total at this activity, including tubing and eating lunch. Then we headed back up through the rice terraces to the car where our driver was ready to continue on to our last stop.

Bali Private Day Tour Stop 3

Tegallalang Rice Terrace

The Tegallalang Rice Terrace is a famous Bali tourism spot where you can buy an access ticket (Adults 50,000 Kids 30,000 IDR – this was included in our tour price) to the area to see and go for walks through the rice paddies.

There is also a lot of fun activities you can do for an extra charge. If you’re feeling daring you can do a zip line or take a Aladdin Carpet ride across the valley. We opted for the slightly more sedate option and decided to do the iconic Bali tourist experience. We hired some big floaty dresses (100,000 IDR – about $10 AUD) and did the single Bali Swing (200,000 IDR – about $20 AUD). You could also choose to do a couple swing or a bed swing.

The Bali Swing was so fun, and the swing assistants were great at their job too. When they whispered that a tip would be good, we gave them 100,000 IDR (about $10 AUD) and they did a mini photo session for us too! 

It’s all very touristy at the Tegallalang Rice Terrace, but it’s not over-crowded, and a basic must-do Bali tourist attraction for first-timers like us. There are also lots of tourist shops located along the road at this tourist spot.

We spent an hour in total at the Tegallalang Rice Terrace and by this time we were all tired but really happy with our day. We decided to head back to the hotel – with a quick souvenir shop stop along the way!

Tour end: 6:50pm

We arrived back at The Grand Hyatt Bali just in time to get changed for dinner. We tipped the driver goodbye, 200,000 IDR (About $20 AUD). I wasn’t really sure how much to tip, so hopefully that was enough!

We really couldn’t have asked for a better exploration day out for our introduction to Bali – and it was incredible value. I had only expected the tubing and maybe some sightseeing along some rice paddies, so we were thrilled to be able to do so much in one day.

We arrived back from our tour falling in love with this beautiful country and determined to return to continue our Bali adventures – we are already making plans to visit a temple and the monkey forest upon our return!

We had such a fun time in Bali even though we only stayed 3 nights. Our accommodation at the Grand Hyatt Bali was incredible, and our day tour gave us a true appreciation of how beautiful and fun Bali is.

How much does a Private Bali Tour cost?

Our entire day tour for 3 people cost $131 AUD total on Klook including a cancellation insurance policy – it was a very cheap Bali tour, considering how much is included! Great value indeed.

Bali Family Holiday FAQs

Do Australians need a visa for Bali?

No, not in the traditional sense, but they do need a digital e-Visa on arrival, known as an “e-VOA” or “VOA”. There are also separate tourist and environmental fees to be paid. All can be done online and in advance as long as you are at least 48 hours out from your trip. If it all seems too complicated or you forget, don’t worry! As long as you have a valid Australian passport you can do it upon arrival.

Is Bali safe for kids?

One thing I quickly discovered in Bali was that there were plenty of other families on vacation! Bali is hugely popular with Australian families, and we felt instantly welcomed and comfortable. Our hosting resort The Grand Hyatt Bali was gated, as was the general Nusa Dua luxury tourist area. We always felt safe and were able to walk around securely – even after dark.

Do you tip in Bali?

Yes, you do tip in Bali. Although tipping is not compulsory, it plays an important part in helping to support the amazingly lovely Balinese people who spoil us lucky Aussie tourists so thoroughly!

How much should I tip in Bali?

I wasn’t really sure how much to tip, but wherever I did people seemed to gracefully receive and appreciate it. I tipped our first driver $5 AUD for our ten-minute Denpasar Airport trip as I had forgotten to get Bali cash at the airport upon our arrival. The driver didn’t seem to mind the Australian cash despite my apologies! For our day tour, I tipped the Bali Swing attendants at the Rice Terrace 100,000 IDR (about $10 AUD) and I gave our day trip driver 200,000 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), which is roughly $20 AUD.

Where to stay in Bali

When in Bali we loved being hosted at The Grand Hyatt Bali, a beautiful all-inclusive holiday resort located in Nusa Dua.

A 5-star family-friendly resort, The Grand Hyatt Bali offers its own spa, resort pools, kids clubs, incredible restaurants and one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali right on its doorstep! We really can’t recommend it highly enough! You can read all about our stay at the Grand Hyatt Bali Resort here.

The post Klook Bali Tours – Family Day Tour Review appeared first on Let's go Mum.

We’ve just arrived back from our first ever trip to Bali and it really feels like we hit the Bali holiday resort jackpot straight away! We just spent 3 nights hosted at the 5-Star Grand Hyatt Bali, and we all had such a wonderful time!

The Grand Hyatt Bali is a gorgeous luxury vacation resort located on the East Coast of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula in Nusa Dua. The resort is nestled within exotic tropical gardens, fronting a beautiful white sandy beach – this truly is a Bali paradise!

Family resort accommodation in Bali

There is luxury accommodation to suit everyone at the Grand Hyatt Bali, with a range of rooms, villas and suites – 636 rooms, to be exact! Centrally located deluxe facilities abound, including swimming pools, bars and restaurants – plus kids’ clubs and a shopping arcade! In fact, this resort is so well serviced that you could spend your entire Bali family holiday here without even stepping foot outside of the resort!

Getting around the resort is easy

Even though the resort is spread out over several acres, most features are either centrally located or within easy walking distance along paved paths. In addition, there are resort shuttles which circulate regularly, both around the resort and even over to the nearby Bali Collection shopping mall. Plus, you’re always only steps away from that gorgeous beach!

Arriving at the Grand Hyatt Bali

With the Bali Airport just 15 minutes away, you can get right down to the business of relaxation and fun soon after you land! It felt like in no time at all we had been whisked away by the Grand Hyatt Bali shuttle driver, as we left the rush of the bustling Denpasar city streets behind us and entered the security gates of peaceful Nusa Dua.

From the moment we drove through the gates and down the tree-lined drive of the Grand Hyatt Bali resort our 5-star holiday experience began in earnest! Hotel attendants met us at the car, spiriting away our bags and gently ushering us down the elegant walkway. Two traditionally dressed Balinese girls gracefully greeted us along the way – already we felt the excitement and enchantment of an exotic, luxurious Bali holiday!

A seamless check in experience followed, where we were seated and welcomed with cool drinks, hand cloths and warm smiles.

What is a Grand Hyatt Bali suite like?

We were escorted to our room and were thrilled to find that the Grand Hyatt Bali had arranged a Grand Executive Suite King for us!

The Grand Executive Suite was luxury personified. A spacious 141 square meters of climate-controlled deluxe accommodation. Our one-bedroom suite consisted of a generously sized open-plan foyer, lounge and dining area. The decadent bedroom and ensuite opened off the lounge, plus an additional toilet was situated off the foyer. A large private balcony ran the length of the entire suite and was also accessible from the bedroom.

The balcony had an outdoor setting and featured beautiful views. It looked out over tropical gardens to the twinkling blue Indian Ocean. A lovely spot for a coffee in the morning.

The lounge featured comfortable lounges and a huge flat screen TV. It was a great place to kick back and relax after an exciting day of fun.

In addition to a dining setting the dining area had a desk, a well-stocked mini bar fridge, tea and coffee amenities, and a convenient coffee machine.

The bedroom featured a four poster style King-sized bed romantically draped – it felt like waking up in a movie with the sea breeze drifting in from the balcony. There was a dressing room/walk in robe with a safe, iron, robes and slippers.

The bedroom led into the huge bathroom with separate shower and step-up marble bath. The bath had – wait for it – its own TV with a remote control! So that you can relax in the bath and watch TV, of course!

Our suite was a one bedroom with an extra bed added to the lounge area, however if you needed more space for more children or family, interconnecting twin or standard rooms are available to add to bookings.

Choose an all-inclusive Bali Holiday

One of the great things about the Grand Hyatt Bali is you can make your vacation as inclusive as you want, with options to purchase the all inclusive meal and drink package!

We loved the all-inclusive package and enjoyed wonderful restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner, and could enjoy relaxing by the pools knowing we could grab a drink and even a range of beers, wines and cocktails at the various bars. All included, and more.

Best of all, the Grand Hyatt Bali All-Inclusive Package is discounted right now!

A Bali Foodie Paradise

There are mouth-watering restaurants in abundance at the Grand Hyatt Bali and enough delicious cuisine to satisfy any budding Bali Foodie!

In each restaurant the service was impeccable. We were always asked if we had any allergies first, guided through the menu choices and food was served promptly.

We dined at the four main Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants during our three-night stay…

Salsa Verde Restaurant

This pool-side Italian Restaurant was a real winner with its delicious pizza and pasta choices. This Grand Hyatt Bali restaurant has a great airy Mediterranean theme with al fresco dining available too.

The location and outdoor dining option made this particular restaurant a winner for lunch, because you could choose to eat outside so that you barely needed to leave the pool!

My girls’ particular favourite at the Salsa Verde was the Spaghetti Bolognese.

Nampu Japanese Restaurant

On our first night at the Grand Hyatt Bali we experienced our first ever teppanyaki meal at Nampu, the Grand Hyatt Bali’s Japanese restaurant.

Our teppanyaki dishes were not only absolutely delicious, but also highly entertaining! We couldn’t believe the incredible skills of the resident chefs – it was lots of fun! The Lobster was my stand-out favourite – it was just unforgettable!

Watercourt Restaurant

We were lucky enough to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Bali Watercourt open air restaurant.

On our second night we had been out all day visiting the Bali tourist sites, so we were very happy to have dinner at this gorgeous Indonesian and grill restaurant.

The beautiful pool and fountains setting is such a special dining experience, and the food is just incredible too. Particular dish standouts were the steaks and the Tuna Tartare – absolutely delectable!

Passar Senggol Theatre Restaurant

On our last night we loved dining at Passar Senggol, a Balinese Night Market experience with a spectacular open-air stage Balinese cultural theatre performance show.

We loved trying all the different new Indonesian foods at the “stalls” – there’s even a dessert area! This is a fantastic way to try lots of new Balinese food – and it’s all so delicious!

I’m sure that many parents were appreciative that the Passar Senggol restaurant also offered Western options – including chicken nuggets and other kid-friendly foods for those fussy eaters!

Whilst I loved all the new Balinese dishes here, I discovered that my new food-favourite is sweet Balinese pancakes!

Following one of the amazing shows diners were invited to come up onto the stage with the cast members for a fantastic photo opportunity – I think every table jumped at the opportunity! At the end of the night all the children were invited up onto the stage to learn some new cultural dancing!

The Garden Cafe Restaurant

We loved exploring all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for not only dinner but lunch and breakfast too. We finally ate at the beautiful Garden Cafe on the last morning of our Bali getaway.

The Garden Cafe had a special Balinese breakfast selection area and also offered a wide range of Western breakfast choices.

A satisfying breakfast looking out at the wonderful view was such a peaceful – and tasty – way to start the day!

Breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Bali

At all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for breakfast there were dedicated Balinese and/or Asian breakfast food areas as well as plenty of Western breakfast choices for both adults and kids.

In addition to sausages, beans and scrambled eggs, you could always find toast and spreads, including strawberry jam and Vegemite. Yoghur, fresh fruit, toast and pastries plus cereal were all readily available. Various milks were available too.

At each restaurant there were freshly made options such as chef-ordered pancakes and egg chefs. Every morning, at each restaurant I just couldn’t resist the yummy Eggs Benedict!

The Grand Hyatt Bali is an absolute beachfront resort, located along the beautiful Mengiat Beach at Nusa Dua, the longest beach in the region.

Regarded as a gentle wave beach, Mengiat Beach is perfect for swimming with the kids or just working on your tan! We had to try out the Hotel swing whilst we were there!

The Grand Hyatt Bali Water Sports hut offers lots of different activities for extra fun at the beach too! There is everything from Parasailing and kayaking to jet skiing and surfing lessons!

Swimming pools and a real water slide

Something my teens were very excited about at the Grand Hyatt Bali were the amazing swimming pools and water slides!

There are several swimming pools – the Main Pool, the River pool and the Balinese Feature Pool.

There are so many pools and water features at the Grand Hyatt Bali that we completely missed another two pools altogether and didn’t even know it! I think that’s a first for us!

We had such fun flying down the main water slide on inflatable tubes and there’s even toddler pools and a gentle water slide for little kids too.

The Grand Hyatt Bali pools are open daily from 8am to 7pm, and the water slide to 6pm.

The Un-Crowded Bali Resort

Even though we visited the Grand Hyatt Bali during a peak period, it didn’t ever feel crowded. I loved that we could find available pool lounges when we wanted them, or pop to the bar to get a drink without having to wait in a queue. Service was always prompt and friendly. It really surprised me to learn that they during our time there they were close to full capacity – as it really didn’t feel that way!

Spoil yourself at the Grand Hyatt Bali!

Ever dedicated to looking after their guests’ relaxation and wellness, the Grand Hyatt Bali is home to The Bay Club fitness center gym for their guests, but we couldn’t resist luxuriating in the stunning Kriya Spa.

Our Kriya Spa Balinese Massage

The Kriya Spa is designed to replicate a Balinese Water Palace – it’s truly stunning to visit. They offer a range of luxurious experiences, including facials, Ayurveda Rituals, body scrubs, wraps and combined packages.

We were excited to visit the spa for a full body Balinese Massage experience. Our massage was an hour-long and fabulously relaxing. Just being at the spa is like being in a peaceful Oasis.

We all adored the indulgence of our afternoon massage therapy session at the Kriya Spa!

Kids clubs for all ages

Normally it would be difficult to align the term 5-star with family-friendly but the Grand Hyatt Bali has nailed the combination!

The Grand Hyatt Bali has some great options to keep the youngest members of the family right up to the hard-to-please teens totally entertained!

There are three separate age-targeted Kids Clubs.

The toddler, kids and teens Kids Clubs are open all day and have both free and paid options available.

Nearby shopping

The Grand Hyatt Bali has the best of both shopping worlds with their in-resort shopping mall with several shops including boutiques and a surf brands shop. We bought some great souvenirs from the hotel gift store too!

There’s a corner store open every day for life’s little essentials, including snacks! Plus there’s even some fun market stalls selling local souvenirs and crafts each evening.

The Bali Collection shopping mall

Just across the road from the Grand Hyatt is the Bali Collection, a fantastic one level shopping mall with a Starbucks, huge souvenir stores, brand outlets and much more. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours drifting from store to store!

What is the price of a night at the Grand Hyatt Bali?

The price for a room for two people at the Grand Hyatt Bali starts from $257 AUD.
