Tropical Fun
Nothing less than a stepping-stone
for gods and goddesses, Bali is—simply put—an exotic

Bali offers a world of sensory delights for travelers young and
old. Nowhere are kids more welcome, in fact, than on this magical
island where the culture celebrates children and where families
are warmly embraced. Explore this peaceful Indonesian island
with Backroads: pedal through emerald-green rice terraces, past
peaceful villages and around sacred pools fed by mountain streams.
