Rollin Adventures In Bali • Accessible Travel Family travel in Bali with our daughter Morgan ♿
Autism • Disability • Lived experience

30/04/2026

We’ve been travelling to Bali with Morgan for years.

But every single trip — the airport still takes everything we have.

Morgan has cerebral palsy, autism and is legally blind.

Getting her from our front door to Bali requires planning most people will never have to think about.

This trip we documented the whole thing.

Because somewhere out there is a family wondering if this is even possible.

It is. But here’s what it actually looks like…

We flew from Sunshine Coast Airport — and for the first time used the Aviramp to board.

No lift.

No chair transfer at the stairs.

Morgan rolled straight to the aircraft door.

We didn’t realise how much the old process cost us until we experienced this one.

Then came the moment Morgan walked down the aisle with Daniel to exit the aircraft.

Step by step.

Both hands held.

Every single time this happens, we feel it.

At the aircraft door in Bali — Lola was waiting.

Smiling.

Calm.

Already making Morgan feel safe.

Lola stayed with Morgan every single step through that airport.

She even rode the disability lift with her — while we waited at the bottom.

Immigration was the hardest part.

The queue was long.

Morgan was exhausted and the wait triggered her anxiety.

Lola knew exactly what to do.

She made it manageable.

That’s the difference between a difficult arrival and a bearable one.

One person.

One moment of quiet kindness.

Lola. 🙏🏻

This is Part 1 of our arrival series — the real, unfiltered experience of flying to Bali with a wheelchair.

Part 2 drops soon — the adaptive transport most families don’t even know exists in Bali. 🌴🦽

Two more sleeps. 🌴

This is Morgan and her Aunty Leanne — strolling the Sanur beachfront on one of our favourite Bali evenings.

That smile says everything.

In two days we fly back to this exact place — and this time the whole family is coming. Because Aunty Leanne turns 60 in Bali, and there was truly nowhere else our family could imagine celebrating her. 🎂🌴

Bali has a way of bringing people together.

Slowing everything down.

Making the ordinary feel extraordinary.

For Morgan it’s so much more than a holiday.
It’s where she exhales.

It’s where we all do.

We cannot wait to bring you all along for this one — it’s going to be our most special trip yet.

And from Monday we’re documenting something we’ve never properly shown before — the real experience of arriving in Bali with a wheelchair. Every moment. Unfiltered. 🦽

Follow along so you don’t miss it. 🙏🏻

She is wearing a mint green dress and holds something in her hands. Behind her, her Aunty Leanne pushes the wheelchair, smiling warmly. Palm trees, golden sand and the calm Bali sea stretch out behind them in the late afternoon light.

We have an announcement — and we’re so excited to share this with our community. ❤️

We’re going back to Bali. 🌴

Monday morning we board the plane — and honestly, we’ve been counting down the days.

There’s something that happens when we land in Bali.
Morgan exhales.

We exhale.

And everything that felt heavy… gets a little lighter.

This island has given our family more than we can put into words.

It’s where Morgan is most herself.

It’s where we remember who we are beyond the appointments, the therapy, the planning, the worrying.

It’s where we just… get to be a family.

We’ve been quiet on here this week — because honestly, we’ve been getting ready.

Preparing for a trip with Morgan takes more than most people realise.

But we’re nearly there.

And we cannot wait.

This trip we’re documenting something we’ve never properly shown before — the real experience of arriving in Bali with a wheelchair, from the moment we leave the aircraft to the moment we reach our villa.

The airport transfer.

The staff who make it possible.

Immigration.

The adaptive transport most families don’t even know exists.

All of it. Real and unfiltered.

Because somewhere out there is a family wondering if this is even possible for them.

It is. And we’re going to show you exactly how. 🦽🌴
See you on the other side. 🙏🏻

Daniel, Jodi & Morgan 🤍

Not all “accessible” villas are actually accessible…

We’ve learnt the hard way in Bali — what’s listed online doesn’t always match reality.

Now, before we book anything, we ask very specific questions 👇

✔️ Is there step-free access everywhere?
✔️ Are there any uneven surfaces or hidden steps?
✔️ Can a wheelchair move around easily?
✔️ Is the bathroom actually usable?
✔️ Is there enough space to manoeuvre?

This villa passed every test 🙌

If you’re travelling with mobility needs, these questions can make or break your trip.

Follow us for real, honest accessibility in Bali 🌴♿️

Not all “accessible” villas in Bali are what they seem… ♿️

We learned this the hard way.

What looked fine in photos turned into:
– narrow paths
– uneven surfaces
– no proper access
– and at times… carrying Morgan just to get in

Since then, we’ve completely changed how we book.

Now we ALWAYS check:
✔️ Can a car actually reach the villa?
✔️ Is the path wide enough?
✔️ What’s the surface like?
✔️ How far is it really from the main road?
✔️ And most importantly… we ask for REAL photos

Because accessibility isn’t just the villa…
it’s everything around it.

If you’re travelling with a wheelchair, stroller, or mobility needs — these details matter more than anything.

We share what actually works (and what doesn’t), so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

👇 Have you ever arrived somewhere that was nothing like the photos?

We booked this villa because it was listed as wheelchair accessible.

The moment we arrived…
we knew it wasn’t.

The only way in?
A steep hill only accessible by scooter.
Three of us on one bike.
Morgan terrified.

Then came the rest…
Narrow paths.
Uneven ground.
Steep sections we couldn’t safely navigate.

We had no choice but to carry her.

Down to the villa.
Back up again just to leave.

And even then —
that path was the only way to reach the main road.

She was exhausted.
Overwhelmed.
And honestly… so were we.

This was 2018 —
when we trusted listings that said “accessible.”

We don’t anymore.

Because accessibility isn’t just the villa…
it’s the entire journey.

That’s why we share the real side of travelling Bali with a wheelchair —
so other families don’t have to learn the hard way.

If you’re planning a trip to Bali with accessibility needs, follow along — we share what actually works 🤍

This is the part of Bali no one talks about…

Travelling with a wheelchair here isn’t simple.
There are steep paths, uneven roads, and places that just aren’t accessible.

But we don’t stop.

Because Morgan deserves to experience Bali just like anyone else 🤍

This is what inclusive travel really looks like — not perfect, but always worth it.

If you’ve ever questioned travelling with a disability… this is your sign to keep going 🤍
Save this for when you need the reminder.

The video then shows moments of kindness and inclusion, with locals and others helping and welcoming her, ending with her smiling and enjoying the ocean.

From time to time people ask why we keep coming back to Bali…
especially travelling with a wheelchair & Autism.

And honestly… we used to wonder the same thing.

It’s not always easy.
It’s not always accessible.

But what we’ve found here is something we didn’t expect.

People who include without hesitation.
People who take the time.
People who see Morgan — not her wheelchair, or her Autism.

And as parents, that changes everything.

Not perfect… but powerful in all the ways that matter.

This is why we come back 🤍

Image description: A series of moments showing a family travelling in Bali with their daughter who uses a wheelchair & is Autistic. The reel begins with relaxed, happy scenes and moves through the reality of navigating sand and uneven paths, showing the effort involved in making experiences accessible. It then shifts to moments of connection, with their daughter smiling, interacting, and being included by others, as well as time spent together as a family at the beach and in the water. The overall feeling highlights both the challenges and the meaningful moments, emphasising how kindness, inclusion, and shared experiences make travel in Bali possible and worthwhile for their family.

If you’ve never been to Bali…
this is what people don’t always tell you 🤍

There’s something about Bali that we don’t think you can fully understand… until you experience it as a family like ours.

Travelling with a disability can sometimes feel isolating.
You worry about how your child will be seen…
Whether they’ll be included…
Whether people will understand.

But in Bali, we’ve experienced something very different.

We’ve had people notice Morgan — truly notice her — and respond with kindness, patience and genuine care.

A waitress reassuring her when she was waiting for food.
Staff changing music when they saw she was overwhelmed.
A birthday cake brought out, just to make her feel special.
Conversations, smiles, small moments that made her feel included — not different.

And for us as parents… that means everything.

Because when your child feels safe, understood and included, you feel it too.

It’s not just about accessibility.
It’s about empathy.
It’s about human connection.

And it’s one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back.

Have you ever experienced this kind of kindness while travelling?

We’d love to hear your story 🤍

The reel includes scenes of airport travel, time spent with local Balinese people, shared smiles and conversations, support in everyday situations, and moments of joy at the beach, in villas, and out exploring. Throughout the reel, their daughter is included, supported, and warmly welcomed by locals. The overall feeling is one of kindness, connection, and belonging, highlighting how the genuine care and empathy of Balinese people helps make travel feel more inclusive and meaningful for their family.

Disability travel isn’t one-size-fits-all.

What works for one person may look completely different for someone else.

Bali isn’t perfect — there are challenges, obstacles, and moments that require patience and adaptation.

But there are also beautiful moments, accessible spaces, and ways to make it work.

For us, it’s about finding that balance 🤍

If you’re considering Bali, take what’s helpful, ask questions, and shape the experience to suit your own needs 🙏🏻

Everyone’s needs are different — we’d love to hear what works for you 🤍

The images also highlight real challenges such as uneven footpaths and obstacles, showing both the possibilities and limitations of travelling in Bali with a disability.

After our last post, we had so many messages from people saying…

“I didn’t think this would be possible for us”

And we understand why

Because travelling with a disability isn’t simple

It depends on the person
the support
the planning
and the kind of experience you’re looking for

Bali isn’t fully accessible

But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible

We’ve found pathways, beaches, and places that can work
with the right setup and the right expectations

It might not look like everyone else’s holiday…
but it can still be a beautiful one 🤍

She is seen rolling along wide, smooth beachfront paths, being pushed along shaded walkways, and sitting at accessible beachside cafés. The video also shows real-life moments, including navigating busier areas and using a wheelchair lift for transport. The scenes highlight both the challenges and possibilities of travelling in Bali with a wheelchair.

After our last post, we had so many messages from people saying…

“I didn’t think this would be possible for us”

So we wanted to share this.

If you’re thinking about Bali with a wheelchair, here are a few things we’ve learned:

• Where you stay matters more than anything

• Having the right transport changes everything

• It’s not fully accessible, but there is enough to make it work

We’ve found pathways, beaches, and places that can work, but it takes planning, the right equipment, and the right expectations.

It might not look like everyone else’s holiday…
but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be a beautiful one 🤍

Save this for later if Bali is on your mind 🙏🏻
