Thrilling activities to do in Bali – Awaken the adventurer in you

Surfing is as thrilling as it gets, and with the right weather and right water temperature all year long, Bali has become a favourite spot for surfers of all levels. The southernmost tip of Bali has world-renowned surfing spots such as Dreamland, Balangan, Bingin, Padang-Padang, and in the west, Uluwatu. If you're just starting and want to learn how to surf and navigate the waves, check out Kuta beach where several surf schools have sprung up. Make sure to carry your surfboards with you when you leave your villa resort in Bali !

For a whole other level of thrill, adrenaline, and adventure, water rafting is ideal. Water rafting became popular in Bali after it was featured in the movie 'Eat, Pray and Love'! Aying River is where water rafters prefer to go and attempt a five-foot drop into the frothing waters below them! The river meanders around ricefields, rainforests, and waterfalls, making your experience thousand times more enjoyable.

Don't miss out on trying the Abyss Zipline if the thought of dangling over crashing waves of the sea makes you excited! You get the opportunity to zoom from one cliff to another, all the while you're over the vast ocean. Even better, you get to finish off by dipping in an infinity pool while overlooking the bay.

Spark high above rocky cliffs and the deep blue ocean by paragliding along Timbis Beach! This activity is sure to get everyone excited as it is a beautiful 12-kilometer ride in the sky from Nusa Dua to Uluwatu. You're gifted with stunning birds-eye views of cliffside resorts, beaches of the huge waves crashing along the coast. Make sure you take your camera with you before you leave Nirjhara so that you can document every moment!

Bali boasts charming countryside, and the best way to discover it is on Quad bikes! You get to ride down windy paths through dense forests, bamboo trees, lovely plantations, and local villages at full throttle. Do make sure you're properly equipped and go with someone who has experience as the ride can get quite rough, but it's well worth it. You might also have to carry a change of clothes with you as splashing through muddy trails is going to leave you all dirty.

This is for the fearless, who don't mind jumping from a 10-meter platform into the daunting waters below them! For those who aren't so brave, there's also a 5-meter leap. The best place to try a jump is at Mahana Point, Nusa Ceningan. After you are done jumping into the blue waters, don't forget to grab a drink while you watch the sun disappear.
