Our 17 Best Things To Do With Kids In Canggu
Bali Equestrian Centre
Bali Equestrian Centre or BEC is a lovely place for children to spend some time learning the ancient art of horse riding.
In fact, it begins with pony rides for the smallest members of the family but eventually, everyone will be big enough to try out a horse riding lesson or two.
It’s a very Instagrammable spot and a ride out in the rice paddies and rice fields of Canggu is a great way to get some fantastic family shots for your social media.
The instructors at BEC are all international qualified and animal welfare is very much at the front of everyone’s minds.
If your children are celebrating a special occasion, you can even book a “unicorn party” at BEC which is super fun.
