Baru di Bali

Whether you want to throw yourself from high altitudes on the raft, hurtle down frothing rapids, explore the wonders of the deep, race with the rolling waves or just lie back and take it easy on the sand, Bali is the place. The beach is a major factor and Bali has a coastline which offers every possible activity both in and out of the water. Even mountainous areas such as Bedugul could still provide you with water activities. Listed below are ten sites that you can go to make yourself wet - or just simply having a dry fun, yet still surrounded by the beauty of the water.

1. Diving in Amed

   Bali is of course a paradise for divers due to its underwater ecosystem that provides a breathtaking scene. Discover a fantastic underwater world in Bali, so you can enjoy a real vacation in a tropical paradise. There are many beautiful locations that you can dive; Amed is one of the best havens to see the deep of Bali sea. The reef within the shallow bay at Amed (more accurately called Jemeluk) is extremely healthy - full of hard corals, magnificent barrel sponges and gorgonian fans. Due to the easy conditions at Amed, it is suitable both for novice and experienced divers. There is very rarely any wave action at the surface, so any surface swims are worry-free.

2. Sailing in Nusa Lembongan

   Sailing gives a different kind of pleasurable experience. Cruising the waters off the enchanted main Island of Gods to Nusa Lembongan and other surrounding islands is like living a dream where you are going to wake up in the midst of an unspoiled natural beauty. There are several companies providing sailing services around Bali.

3. Rafting in Payangan

   Rafting in Bali is a safe, fun and breathtaking activity for you and your family. The action starts when you launch into the river stretch, navigating through a backdrop of a wild unspoiled rainforest and towering gorges. Professional trainers and experienced guides will assure your safety as the raft runs through the river, dramatic panorama and spectacular waterfalls.

4. Surfing in Impossibles

   For surfers, or others who know how to surf, Bali is a paradise providing them not only with the waves but also the whole surfing culture that circles on the language, life and fashion. Among the many surf spots in Bali, Impossibles is probably one of the least crowded. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang (before Uluwatu). We need to warn you, however, that Impossibles is a playground for experienced surfers.

5. Swimming in Blue Lagoon

   Blue Lagoon is a hidden white-sandy beach with seriously crystal-clear water located near the ferry port in Padangbai. The beach itself is not very long-stretched and there are no umbrellas or day-beds like the ones seen in Kuta. The water is considerably calm and some of the rocks form a natural plunge pool where you can just soak and relax. You need to walk on foot passing a dirt ground going down the hill through bushes; it can be slippery at times so you need to be careful. But don’t worry, as the sound of rolling waves hitting the rocks below will provide the encouragement for you to find your way down.

6. Jet Skiing in Lake Bratan

   Riding a motorized sea vehicle will give you a different experience, especially as the fresh breeze swirls your hair. Fun riding on the water of Lake Bratan with the combination of jet drive power and personal water craft will result a pure excitement. Another plus point from jet skiing in Lake Bratan is that you can enjoy the view of the stunning Ulun Danu Temple from a different angle.

7. Sight Seeing in Lake Tamblingan

   Well, you're not going to get wet this time; instead, you'll be stunned from enjoying the breathtaking view of Lake Tamblingan. This lake sits on the northern side of Gunung Batukaru, near Bedugul on the way to Singaraja. However, the best spot to enjoy the view of this lake is from above. When you pass Bedugul and enter the hillside road, you will encounter a Y-junction. Take the sharp left-turn and follow on the road. Green hills, forest trees, cool air and mists encircle this area. You can pick a spot here to enjoy the breathtaking view of the lake below while breathing the fresh mountainous air.

8. Snorkeling in Nusa Penida

   There are a number of shallow waters in Nusa Penida that are excellent for snorkeling. The water is crystal clear with a visibility up to 30m and some encounters with big fishes such as pelagic are common. It will take about one hour to explore and view beautiful underwater life which is completed with safety equipments. Jukung (traditional boats) and speedboat services are provided in Sanur to transport you to Nusa Penida.

9. Sunbathing in Geger

   Geger beach is accessed through a dirt track to the left on the road leading to the Nikko Bali Resort in Sawangan, near Nusa Dua. Up until today, Geger remains a very private beach, which makes topless sunbathing very popular here. Yet, the attraction in Geger is not just the private beach alone. It has been for many years since the locals firstly cultivated seaweed that up to today the seaweed plantation along Geger has become a particular appeal even for the visiting sun worshippers.

10. Parasailing in Tanjung Benoa

    Parasailing is a fantastic activity by hanging the body under airborne which is pulled by the speed boat to overview the amazing panorama of the coastal area. It will bring you to fly tens of meters above sea level and you can enjoy the beautiful panorama of surrounding area. The guide will ensure you with the high safety equipment and short briefing before flaying off. Your experience will begin from take off on the beach to surrounding coastal area until landing back on the sand. It is one of the exciting adventures to experience during your vacation in Bali.
