We decided on Bali for our next family vacation. Hoping for some advice on our itinerary which is just in outline stage at this point. There will be 4 of us including 3 divers (1 dive instructor) and my 13 year old daughter who may or may not be diving by then. If she is not (she is a little scared) then I am thinking Tulamben might be a good place to get her started. While we are here for diving we are also all big time animal lovers as well and also appreciate topside nature activities like hiking so any can't miss ideas there would be appreciated as well.
Might skip out on the night in Singaraja and just head over there for a day trip from Tulamben. For such an itinerary would you rent a car for the second half of the trip on mainland Bali? I have looked in to all the popular dive sites but if there are any lesser known sites that you think should not be missed then I would love to hear about them. Hoping to run into some Mola Mola but two of us have only a couple of current dives under our belt so we are looking for lighter current dives. I was originally going to do this trip in the reverse order but switched it around so that we could be on Nusa L in between the new moon and full moon for the lighter current. My first pass at the itinerary also had our diving split between Permuteran and Tulamben but it just felt too busy. Anyways, I would love to hear of anything that you would do differently to improve the trip. Thanks in advance.
