Bali Hia cruises do a Dolphine and South coast Bali cruise starting at 7.30am returning at 9.30am Cost US$49 adult and US$33 kids. This includes pickup.
Bali Adventure Tours do a bike ride from Mount Batur volcano mostly down hill for 26kms and ending at the Elephant Park. Cost without elephinat ride US$56 adult and US$38 kids. This includes pick up and lunch. We did this ride (ages ranging 12-45) and it was great, riding through villages, rice fields and stopping at set rest areas, and there is a back up vehicle if you don't feel you can ride any more. Bikes were very well maintained. I would do this ride again.
Not sure about the VIP VOA.
And YES there are PLENTY of taxis at the airport. We were advised to get a prepaid taxi voucher which cost us 30,000r and it only cost us 12,500r when we got a taxis back to the airport at the end of the trip. Next time I will just get a taxi at the airport and NO voucher.
We also did Bali Zoo great place, Bali Bird Park, wonderful and Monkey Forrest is like stepping back in time, just don't buy banana's to feed the monkeys as they use you as a ladder to get to the fruit hahaha. Waterbom Park is a must too for ANY age. And of cause MUST do massage and some shopping in there too.
Have a lovely time away and tell daughter to stop worrying and go with the flow, she'll be on Bali time in no time.
