• Opened: 7 December 1993, after four years of building.
• Size: a 3.5-hectare park, with 55% kept as jungle and botanical gardens.

Is Waterbom Bali worth it?

Waterbom Bali is worth it if you plan to spend most of the day on the slides, the lazy river and the pools; it is less worth it if you only want to sit by water, since everyone pays the same entry. Waterbom's FAQ says all guests need an admission ticket, whether or not they use the rides.

What your ticket covers, according to Waterbom:

• Access to the whole park and all slides for the day.
• A pass-out at the exit if you want to leave and return the same day.

What costs more inside: towel hire, lockers, the FlowRider, photos, spa facilities and gazebo rental are charged separately. Gazebos can only be booked online together with your ticket. Tickets are non-refundable, so be sure of your date.

Ticket types: Waterbom's ticket page lists child tickets for ages 2 to 11, adult tickets and a family ticket for two adults and two children, plus bundles that include extras such as towels and lockers. Prices on its site differ for international and Indonesian visitors, so select your nationality when you check.

Is Waterbom Bali good for kids?

Yes, with height limits on the bigger rides. According to Waterbom, some of the bigger slides need riders above 100 cm, while the Kids Area has no minimum height. The AquaPlay water playground has jets, sprays, tipping bowls and a giant dump bucket, and suits toddlers up to 16-year-olds. Children under 6 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Single riders up to 136 kg can use most slides.

Where are Waterbom Bali tickets cheaper?

There is no single cheapest place for Waterbom Bali tickets, so compare the same ticket for your exact date. Waterbom says its website carries promotions that are only available online, which is why the online price can differ from the counter at the park. Booking sites sell Waterbom tickets too: Waterbom reports winning Best of Indonesia: Attractions at the Klook Partner Awards in 2024 and 2025, and an Excellent Partner Award 2026 from Trip.com Group. Traveloka and KKday also sell Bali attraction tickets, so check whether they list Waterbom for your date.

A simple way to compare:

1. Fix your date and ticket type. Adult, child or family, and whether you want towels and lockers bundled in.
2. Check Waterbom's own website for the online price for your nationality and date.
3. Check Klook, then Traveloka or KKday for the same ticket, where they list it.
4. Compare the final total, including booking fees and anything bundled.
5. Book the lower option through ShopBack if it is on Klook, Traveloka or KKday, so your effective price drops after you pay.

Klook vs Traveloka for Waterbom Bali: price comparison

Which of Klook and Traveloka is cheaper for Waterbom Bali changes with the date and any running promotion, so check both for the same ticket. Look past the headline price: check whether the ticket is dated, whether it is a direct entry ticket or a voucher you exchange at the gate, and what is included. Then open the cheaper one from ShopBack.

• Klook: activities, attraction tickets and transfers across Bali.
• Traveloka: hotels, flights and Xperience activity tickets.
• KKday: another option for attraction tickets and tours.

Other travel stores on ShopBack Singapore include Agoda, Trip.com, Booking.com and tiket.com.

Waterbom Bali: best deals for 2026

The best Waterbom deals usually come from booking online in advance, choosing a bundle only if you would pay for those extras anyway, and going to a quieter month.

When is the best time to visit Waterbom Bali?

According to Waterbom, the park is usually quieter from February to April and from October to November, which means shorter queues for the slides. In high season, Waterbom asks guests to book online at least a day before, and says the park may reach capacity and temporarily stop entry. Waterbom says buying on its own website ahead of time is the way to guarantee entry on your chosen day.

When is the best time to visit Bali from Singapore, and when are flights cheaper?

For drier weather, visit Bali outside the west monsoon, which runs from about October to April with the heaviest rain from December to March, according to Wikipedia. Outside the monsoon, humidity is lower and rain is unlikely in the lowlands. The weather around Easter and Christmas is described as very unpredictable.

When flights are usually cheaper: fares from Singapore tend to rise around Singapore school holidays, long weekends and the Christmas and New Year period, when many families travel. Flying mid-week in a shoulder month, outside those peaks, usually gives you more choice. Compare flights on Trip.com, Traveloka or Agoda, and start the booking from ShopBack.

Two things to plan for:

• Nyepi: on the Balinese Day of Silence, Bali's only airport stays closed for the entire day and no one is allowed on the beaches or streets, according to Wikipedia. Check the date before you book flights in March.
• Tourist levy: international visitors pay a Bali tourist levy, shown as IDR 150,000 on the official Love Bali website at the time of writing, which you can pay online before you go.

Best time to visit Bali: best deals

The best Bali deals usually line up with the shoulder months, when weather is reasonable and demand is lower. Book flights and hotels early for school holidays, compare totals across sites, and go through ShopBack Singapore before each booking.

Which area in Bali is best to stay in for a first trip?

For a first trip to Bali, many people split their stay: a few nights on the south coast for beaches and Waterbom, and a few nights in Ubud for culture and rice fields. Here is how the main areas differ, based on Wikipedia's descriptions:

• Kuta: one of the first towns on Bali to see large-scale tourism, known for its long sandy beach and close to Ngurah Rai International Airport. Waterbom is here.
• Seminyak: just north of Kuta and Legian on the west coast, with a high density of shopping and restaurants. Accommodation prices are among the highest on the island.
• Canggu: a coastal village with a 10 km beach on the southwest coast.
• Nusa Dua: a resort area built in the 1970s, an enclave of more than 20 resorts in a gated area in the south.
• Sanur: a beach stretch east of Denpasar, about 30 minutes' drive from the airport, with a calmer feel.
• Ubud: promoted as Bali's arts and culture centre, inland among farms and rice paddies.

How to choose: if Waterbom is the main reason for your trip, Kuta or Seminyak keeps you close. Families who want a resort with everything on site often look at Nusa Dua. Compare hotels on Agoda and Traveloka for your dates and book through ShopBack.

Where to stay in Bali: best deals

Compare the same hotel on two or three booking sites, check the total with taxes and fees, and book through ShopBack. Agoda, Traveloka, Booking.com and Trip.com all list Bali hotels.

What are the best things to do in Ubud, and which tours are worth it?

The best things to do in Ubud are the Monkey Forest sanctuary, the Ubud Palace for dance performances, the Tegallalang rice terraces, and Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave. A day tour or private driver is often worth it for the sights outside town.

• Ubud Monkey Forest: a sanctuary in Padangtegal that, as of 2023, was home to about 1,260 Balinese long-tailed macaques, with three temples inside, according to Wikipedia. Keep food and loose items out of reach.
• Puri Saren Agung (Ubud Palace): the palace at the corner of Monkey Forest Road and Jalan Raya Ubud, where dance performances and ceremonies are held in the courtyard.
• Tegallalang: about 10 km north of Ubud, known for its terraced rice fields.
• Goa Gajah: the Elephant Cave, in a steep valley near Bedulu just outside Ubud.
• Campuhan: the meeting point of two rivers, where the Gunung Lebah Temple remains a pilgrimage site.

Which tours are worth it: a half-day or full-day tour that groups Tegallalang and Goa Gajah saves time, since the sights are spread out. Wikipedia also notes that metered taxis and ride-hailing pickups are not permitted within Ubud and rides are arranged with the local taxi cooperative, so a pre-booked driver or tour makes the day simpler. Compare Ubud tours on Klook and Traveloka, and book through ShopBack.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Save on your trip by booking flights, hotels and activities through ShopBack. Open ShopBack Singapore, tap Klook, Traveloka or Agoda, and finish the booking. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash that comes back to your ShopBack account. Rates change, so check the live rate on the Klook page on ShopBack before you book.

Do promo codes and ShopBack work on the same booking?

No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay. Card promotions carry their own rules.
