can definately suggest Made hes very trustworthy and reliable. He lives in Kuta and has a 5 yr old and 14 yr old of his own. He knows all the good shopping spots for yourself plus all the other attractions for the kids.
Suggest Elephant Park, Bali Zoo, Bali Bird Park, Reptile Park, Quicksilver Nusa Penida day trip, ten pin bowling if raining,and when shopping upstairs at the timezone in Centro if you havent had the misfortune to be dragged in there.
Horseriding from Umalas stables - theres a pool plus restaurant at back we usually go early before its hot..ie ill do the coffee whilst she rides down to the beach or well head for an amazing breakfast at La Lucciolas and theyll drop her there on the beach at restaurant.
Bubbagumps for dinner especially if you order a frozen margarita, uncle Norms is a good little restaurant and we also love going to Sharkeys or Ganesha at Jimbaran Bay for sunset.
Not sure when turtle time is either but sometimes they hatch the eggs near surf tower on Kuta Beach the security guys know - then they let them out to sea.
See if you can see the brightly coloured chicks at the market.
Stop for a quick look at Bird Market all sorts birds fish monkeys on way if going into Denpasar.
Anyway if interested in Mades details just do a search for other recommendations and i can also give you all contact details as i speak to him or text often.. Even though there around same time i often only use him for parts of the day.
No on 15th via Sydney with Jetstar..
We do a good deal with the beach ladies the kids have massages for around $3 or under for a shorter time but the quantity is more and they dont hassle them otherwise they know they wont go..
