Water Sports in Bali
Written by Manyaa Singh
Bali is one of the more recommended holiday destinations for adventurists and sports enthusiasts. It is an exquisite, exotic and scenic island located in the heart of Indonesia, a popular South-East Asia gateway. Bali packages are demanded by globe-trotters from all countries and cultures because of the wide repertoire of sporting opportunities they offer. Replete with sandy beaches overlooking the turquoise ocean, Bali pampers its visitors with a number of water sports including snorkeling, paragliding, surfing, jet skiing and sailing. Coming for Bali holidays and not digging into these activities would be akin to committing a sin!
One of the most thrilling prospects for any backpacker is to take a peep into the underbelly of the ocean with Scuba Diving. Scuba Diving is a water sport which takes you under the sea and helps you get a fish-eye view of the underwater world. This is a tropical island boasting of a rich flora & fauna and a copious wealth of exuberant coral reefs. As a scuba diver, you can get forlo
in the world of fishes, eels, turtles and shrimps! To experience this unearthly feeling, simply head on to Nusa Renida or to Tulamben!
A similar thrill awaits you at Menjangan Island, the best place for snorkeling. This island can take your breath away with its coral wealth. Bali tour packages will also permit you to explore the natural splendor of the place, long after you hang up your snorkeling boots!
Another adrenaline-pumping water sport is the White River Rafting. Zipping through the roaring river on a turbulently heaving raft can be, simply, a jaw-dropping experience. Contrary to the common notion, river rafting is a very safe sport provided you follow all the instructions carefully. Bali’s Ubud region boasts of the best rafting corner offering comprehensive safety & training facilities. Most Bali packages include a trip to Ubud in their itinerary.
The beaches at Kuta are also something you must not miss out on. Apart from being wild and fascinating, they offer excellent sites for wind surfing. Though surfing can be enjoyed in many other beaches, if you are a passionate surfer and looking for the perfect locale, then Kuta is the one tailor-made for you!
Bali tour packages bring plenty of other water sports on your platter. There is parasailing to make you feel like a soaring bird, there is jet-skiing for the speed enthusiasts, and then there is the simple yet exciting banana boating for the risk-averse. Tanjong Benoa is one of the must-visit destinations offering a gamut of sporting attractions under one roof.
In a nutshell, with Bali holidays, you can:
Go under the water with snorkeling and scuba diving at places like Menjangan Island, Tulamben and Nusa Renidar
Make your heart miss a beat with the pulsating White River Rafting at Ubudr
Get into a phantasmagoric mood with surfing at Kutar
