has to be cycling. A couple of people have recommended one with Wayan recently, not far below here, and I did one with Bali Budaya Tours in May. These are very well run, with good safe equipment, on quiet back roads. You and your kids will enjoy seeing real Bali people, and we learnt a huge amount about the way their society works and people live, from our guide Darma from Bali budaya. The rides are very manageable physically, as well.
Another spectacular way to roam the countryside is on elephants - not something we do in our everyday routine! We went to Bali Elephant Park, and there are three others, I think. Definitely an occasion to splurge on the "long ride" option.
Have a great time! Things are different, and it can take a day or two to adjust, so don't be hard on yourselves.
