Bali trip
8 days in Bali/Indonesia — what should I add or remove?
Planning an 8-day trip from Oct 30 to Nov 7/8 with my 13-year-old son.
Currently thinking of:
- Batur/Kintamani
- Ubud
- Nusa Penida
- Gili Air
We like adventure + nature + beaches — interested in Batur sunrise trek, snorkelling, scuba diving, short cycling, hiking, waterfalls and possibly surfing.
We are relatively slow travellers, so I don't want to make the itinerary too hectic.
Questions:
- Is Batur + Ubud + Nusa Penida + Gili Air too much for 8 days?
- Which place would you remove, if any?
- Is there anything important/fun that I should add instead?
- Is Gili Air worth visiting if we're already doing Nusa Penida?
- What would be the best route/order for these places?
- How is early November for this itinerary?
Would love suggestions from people who have done a similar trip, especially travelling with a teenager.
