This Bali trip was a journey full of surprises and emotions for our family of four. Even as a traveler visiting this beautiful land for the fourth time, we still found new fun and touching experiences. Special thanks to the admin and members of the ‘Go Bali Go Bali Travel’ group for their abundant sharing, which helped us plan such a perfect itinerary!
Trip Highlights & Recommended Attractions
Here are some highlights from this Bali trip, along with attractions our family found worth recommending:
GWK Cultural Park – Spectacular Views & Photo Paradise

This time, we made a point to visit GWK Cultural Park. It not only boasts magnificent cultural heritage but also countless scenic spots perfect for photos. The park is huge, so we strongly recommend taking the shuttle to easily and comfortably enjoy every attraction.

White Water Rafting — A Thrilling Yet Heartwarming Adventure
Provided by Lin Xiaozhao
The rafting trip we booked on Klook, “Red Paddle Bali Adventure”, exceeded all expectations. The guides were not only professional but also incredibly thoughtful. When our eldest son felt a bit unwell during the trip, the guide kept checking on him, which put us at ease. The guides on other rafts were just as friendly—we splashed each other and raced, filling the two-hour rafting adventure with laughter. We also met travelers from Saudi Arabia and South Korea, and we had such a great time chatting, even practicing our English and Korean. It was so much fun!

Our private driver, Teja, not only fulfilled our wishes to see the rice terraces and swing in one go but also took us to many hidden scenic spots. The swing at the rice terraces was especially breathtaking, and they even offered long-tail gowns for rent, instantly transforming me into a fairy—it was absolutely dreamy!

At Paperhills Café, we were lucky enough to witness the magnificent Mount Batur in all its glory—this active volcano stood clearly before us, truly breathtaking. The café has four floors, each offering picture-perfect photo spots. Wearing our own outfits, we could snap Instagram-worthy shots anywhere. The beauty of hiring a private driver was that we could bring all our gear, big and small, capturing beautiful moments anytime, anywhere.

Rijasa Agung Resort and Villas, Ubud—A Perfect Blend of Tranquility and Comfort
Photo by Lin Xiaozhao
During our stay in Ubud, we checked into Rijasa Agung Resort, nestled along the Ayung River. Every morning, we woke up to the soothing sound of flowing water, which was incredibly relaxing. The temperature here was just right, and our family room came with a private pool, garden, and a bale (gazebo). The space was so vast—easily over 3,000 square feet—that it offered incredible value for money, leaving our whole family thoroughly satisfied.

Jungle Cart——A Unique Bali Adventure
Many people have tried go-karting, but driving directly through Ubud’s jungle roads is a new experience exclusive to Bali! We zipped through rice paddy scenery, with a lead car blasting music to check the route ahead. Along the way, chickens scattered, cows lazily mooed—the 30-minute ride was short but packed with endless fun.

A special thanks to our private drivers, Kang Ge and Te Jia. From airport pickup to daily itineraries, they were friendly, punctual, and thoughtful. After my eldest son caught a cold, Kang Ge even called to check in and offered to take us to a doctor or buy medicine—such touching service. Te Jia carefully communicated the itinerary with me before the trip, proactively helped book restaurants, and arranged rafting, massages, and the Jungle Cart experience. Everything went smoothly and comfortably.
Final Thoughts
This Bali trip, thanks to the information shared in the ‘Go Bali Go Bali Travel’ Facebook group and the full-time support of our private drivers, gave us a relaxing and unforgettable vacation. Every trip creates unique memories, and this Bali journey is undoubtedly one of our family’s most precious. We look forward to returning to this enchanting land again to explore its endless beauty.
