The Kintamani District is one of Bali's most scenic and refreshingly cool
regions. Visitors come to Kintamani to enjoy the pine forests, unwind in hot
springs, hike up the volcano, and sip coffee with breath-taking views of Mount
Batur and the lake at spots like Paperhills or AKASA Specialty Coffee.
If you're looking for a day full of outdoor adventures and a refreshing
break from Bali's intense heat, head to The Grand Lagunas adventure entertainment centre,
nestled on a hillside surrounded by pine forests.
The Grand Lagunas is a forested tourist area with activities for all ages,
including quad bike rides, ziplines, flying swings, rope courses, jungle
trampolines, and more.
"This family-oriented attraction aims to promote tourism while
supporting environmental conservation. The centre was established through a
joint effort by local communities, the local government, and several NGOs
dedicated to environmental protection," explained Eka, manager of The
Grand Lagunas.
Operating Hours and Ticket Prices
The centre is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. On average,
visitors spend about 1 to 2 hours exploring the park. With a 4-year-old, we
spent about an hour walking through all the zones, enjoying the cool, fresh
air, trying out the attractions, and finishing with a hot cup of tea.
The entrance fee is 50,000 IDR per person, which includes access to
attractions such as swings, nets, the Rainbow Slide, jungle climbing, and tree
climbing. Quad biking is available at 500,000 IDR for one person or 600,000 IDR
for two people.
You can purchase a full-access
ticket for 175,000 IDR. The on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and offers
a complimentary welcome drink of hot Balinese coffee or tea. Visitors are also
welcome to bring their own food and enjoy a picnic at the comfortable tables
provided.
Activities
Rainbow Slide
The Rainbow Slide, a vibrant and colorful structure, is the park's most
popular attraction and a must-try for all visitors. You glide down on an
inflatable tube, much like the thrill of winter tubing on snowy slopes at ski
resorts.
Up to three people can slide down the Rainbow Slide at the same time. Children
can ride solo or with an adult. Its gentle speed makes it especially popular
with younger kids.
With the standard 50,000 IDR ticket, visitors are allowed three rides down
the slide. This is one of the most exciting and beloved attractions,
particularly for children under 6. Park staff are stationed at each attraction
to ensure safety and help manage queues.
Trampolines, Swings, and Climbing Walls
Located next to the Rainbow Slide, you'll find two trampolines, swings, and
small tree-climbing walls. A trampoline session is available for an additional
fee of 25,000 IDR.
Flying Fox (Zipline)
The most thrilling attraction at the Grand Lagunas is the Flying Fox, a zipline
that lets you soar from a height, offering an adrenaline rush and a sense of
flight. This exhilarating ride costs an additional 50,000 IDR. The height is
moderate, and instructors are present to ensure safety. It’s suitable for
children aged 6 and up.
Treetop Adventure
The Tree Top adventure includes wooden suspension bridges with various
challenging obstacles, where you navigate through spiderweb-like nets while
holding onto rope cables. Safety harnesses are provided to ensure a secure
experience.
For those wanting to climb even higher, an additional fee of 80,000 IDR per
person applies.
Sultan's Basket
One of the attractions featured on the centre’s website is the Sultan's Basket,
available for an additional fee of 80,000 IDR per person. Unfortunately, it is
currently under repair, so we were unable to try it out.
ATV Sports
For adventure and extreme sports enthusiasts, ATV Sports is the perfect
choice. There's no need to worry about muddy conditions, as the quad bike track
at The Grand Lagunas is dry. The cost for an ATV ride is 500,000 IDR per person
or 600,000 IDR for two people, with each ride lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The fee covers shoes, helmets, elbow pads, and a guide.
You can also enjoy a walk across the suspension bridge at no extra cost.
It’s safe and doesn’t require any additional safety gear. The bridge is located
to the left of the Rainbow Slide area.
The park staff is very friendly, and the grounds are generally clean and
dry. However, we did notice some areas with litter and plastic waste, which
slightly diminished the overall experience.
