A day trip with a baby in Bali can be super fun and we have had some amazing adventures together! However we have also had some super avoidable meltdowns whilst on day trips! These are our best tips and everything that you’ll want to pack for your little one on a well prepared day trip.
Bali Day Trip With A Baby Tips
Tip 1
For a day trip in Bali, we suggest hiring a private car and driver for the day. In Bali you can usually get one for a full day (10 hours) which runs at about $50 AUD for the day. This means you don’t have to wait around for taxi’s or gojeks. Plus if your little one falls asleep in the car, you are able to hang in the aircon whilst they catch some Z’s. Some companies will even provide a baby seat so have a bit of an ask around.
Tip 2
When planing your day trip, make sure you plan the longer drives between places around nap time. This means you don’t need to stress about day naps whilst they *hopefully* nap in the car!
Tip 3
Loads of places don’t have baby change areas so you’ll have to make the most of the back of the car for quickly changing nappies between stops. Just make sure to have your baby change mat with you and you are good to go.
