The 7-day plan

Where to base yourself, and what each stretch is for. Change any of it in the planner.

  1. Days 1-3SanurReef-protected water, a flat five-kilometre boardwalk and sunrise instead of sunset. Short days while everyone adjusts.
  2. Day 4Sanur to UbudAn hour inland. Break the drive at a temple or the Bali Bird Park if the children need out of the car.
  3. Days 5-6UbudRice-field walks, a gentle waterfall with a short staircase, and the monkey forest early. Keep one day with nothing in it.
  4. Day 7Ubud to the airportAllow two hours. Sanur is closer if you would rather end where you started.
